Yeah most dogs are poorly trained (if they are trained at all) and are unpredictable. Owners just brush off bad behavior with "well he never does that to me, you must have provoked him".

On the opposite end of things, I can't stand the people who go for the "extreme" training options. The ones who have hundreds of dollars of training equipment including shock collars, choke/prong collars, etc and who think rolling their dog over with their hand on their throat is normal because they saw it on an episode of Cesar Milan's garbage show. The ones who will talk your ear off about how my dog is a wolf and I need to make it terrified of me to establish myself as the ~pack leader~. If you try to contradict them they'll get all huffy and say "google it, I don't have time to educate you".

That guy is the worst. Prong collars are the worst.

I actively don't like dogs and I'm not a sociopath. Most people have terrible dogs that jump all over you with their muddy rear end paws and almost knock you over when you have an armload of stuff, and the owners are all like "aww! They like you, you should drop your poo poo and pet them!"
I don't really like you anyway so my rule is working.

People leaving their clothes in the communal laundry for hours on end. Half an hour or something? Sure, whatever, your life doesn't revolve around the laundry, who cares. But there's only one drier, so maybe don't leave your poo poo in there for at least 2 hours after they're done. And clean the loving lint filter, christ.

The other people we share laundry facilities with do this and it's infuriating. I've seen them leave wet clothes in the washer for days . Like, they must need washing again because they start to smell. :barf:

I give an hours grace and then just move their poo poo.

Since moving to Switzerland (formerly) and Germany (now) it is bizarre how different people think of this issue over here. The people I've talked to think it's absurd that americans neuter/spay their pets. Even from just an aesthetic perspective, I don't want to look a dogballs, and I don't want to deal with dogperiods. I don't understand the "it's abuse" angle at all.

Do they let their pets breed indiscriminately so shelters are full of unwanted dogs? Because that's the real problem.

The only German pet care I know about is hamsters and they are insanely up to date on welfare. Like a single ham needs a meter square of floor space and no plastic accessories ever, wood only, but it's a struggle to get Americans and people in the UK to buy anything for their animals that's big enough for them to turn around in.

The worst part is the people I've seen acting like this had the most disgusting and gross looking dogs. Those lovely little white ones with the huge paths of eye goop running down it's face and filth all over it's mouth with breath bad enough to strip varnish off a wood table. Or those gross pugs that huff and wheeze.

What is with people owning gross rear end dogs and then being offended when nobody wants to touch their gross rear end dog. And if you do they always have that weird old man hair or this super greasy coat. It makes me shudder thinking how gross it is.

The dog you describe is my pet peeve. They're never white, either, they're always turning slightly yellow from grease.
I love dogs otherwise and I will pet any dog that comes up to me, but I can't touch these certain ones without wanting to gag.

I don't like outdoor cats. I live in an area that has rainbow coloured native parrots that used to just chill on my lawn, but we don't get those anymore because my next door neighbor leaves her cat outside all day. Outdoor cats are also poo poo personality wise too. Every indoor cat I've met is a sweetie, every outdoor cat is this dirty, paranoid thing.
Indoor cats are the softest things I've ever petted. All it takes is a tiny bit of research and you too can own the softest living thing known to mankind. I don't understand people who ruin that potential by shoving their cats outside.

Our cat was an independant indoor cat, in that she mainly lived indoors but liked to be let out do do cat things, like pooping and hunting, or just sleeping somewhere quiet. It took some time to get her to stop bringing her prey in but she stopped eventually, a few months into being ours. We had her for 10 years before her death. She made it to 11, something important just shut down. We'll never know exactly what killed her, just age related complications. She collapsed in the kitchen, held on for a few hours then went limp. :(

Along the lines of neutering, I know a guy who does not want kids. At all. Neither does his wife. And he bitches about her birth control and having to use condoms sometimes, and when I mentioned vasectomy., he flipped the gently caress out. Because even though he doesn't want kids and is often worried about an accidental pregnancy, getting snipped is something that will never, ever happen to him, because "what if they gently caress up and my dick breaks and I never get hard again!" Instead he advocates that his wife "get fixed." But a tubal isn't foolproof. He was actually looking into finding a doctor who would do a full "pelvic cleanout" on his 30 year old wife so he wouldn't have to 'deal with periods anymore.'

Said gem of a man also believes if more women hosed more crazy men, there would be less shootings.

But when he gets called on any of this poo poo, he insists he's joking.

That's my peeve. Being a horrible oval office or a racist and trying to play the "gently caress, I'm just joking, stop being all PC!" card.

It's probably an easy mistake to make without prior knowledge considering most vertebrates start off in the womb/eggshell looking very similar, only differing after 5 weeks or so when specialisations like limbs and gills start coming in (There's an old diagram of the embryos of a Human, Chicken, Lizard (of some kind) and some kind of fish too, until 5 weeks (second layer) there is no real noticeable difference) so you could probably quite easily fall into the trap of "Oh, a mammal that gives live birth is bleeding from it's womb just before ovulation/heat, must be a period"

I have a buddy who does not understand how to deal with food when with company. He'll regularly show up to places with food for himself, not bothering to call ahead and ask if anybody else wanted anything. I've gone to his place, and while watching a movie or something, he'll get up without a word and fix food for himself. He once disappeared from a party, and came back with fast food for just himself.

They're also tagged properly, but for some reason the actual track title lumps it all in as well. I've only noticed this on classical CDs, so maybe it's an old people/classical formalism thing that I'm not aware of, but it's really annoying. Especially on my ipod, when I'm like "what track is this" and I have to wait nine hours for it to scroll to the important bit.

Worst I've encountered so far is a guy who was fond of walking away from his desk without his phone and his ringtone was his toddler grandchild wailing "pick up the phone!!!" and since he was an old man who couldn't hear for poo poo it was cranked up to maximum volume. Everyone in the office wanted to smash that drat phone.
