Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
As someone who had a rescue dog that could not be trusted with other dogs (a previous owner clearly mistreated her) I was always amazed at how inconsiderate other dog owners could be. Sure, your dog may be fine with most other dogs but when faced with mine snarling at it you just watch it get aggressive back. Not so smug now are you? We had to segregate Jackie for everyone's sake, keeping to roadside footpaths, which is such a shame with a big park on my doorstep, but it was not worth the hassle, especially from the "oh he's very friendly" brigade who would not/could not recall their own dog. I know my own dog - you don't. If another owner asks you to keep your dog away don't dismiss them. [/rant]

Have you considered getting one of those leads that have a warning to say your Dog is not Dog Friendly? It may help those who are less intelligent so see it beforehand. |

I'd casually dandered in and warned the wee girl from shop staff that they might be difficult and said I would stand with her, all went well. Could see the relief in her eyes, another staffer was tellibg me she'd asked a fella to not try on clothes as he demanded the fitting room was opened. He threw his stuff in her face and stormed off.. GOTD - I feel like I'll be sent back, great news with Black Friday etc looming Last edited by Chris_SVS; 25-10-20 at 09:23 PM. |

Most places round by us have signs saying 'face coverings must be worn' so you would probably be ok with scarf, helmet or mask....

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The guy before me was wearing a saggy blue medical mask virtually hanging around his chin. Looked like the one in the picture on the signs though so got no complaints. The kid working there was just a bit simple.
