i hate people so self absorbed i have to be the asshole. little one is afraid of dogs, despite many attempts to gently introduce him. Get to the footie round and there's a dog off leash, annoying but we sit well away. Owners throws a ball at us three times, despite my kid being obviously uncomfortable and me getting between him and the dog each time before I lose it. its a kids event FFS, its the bare minimum to ask you keep your dog on a leash.

Had something similar years ago, not an issue with anyone being bothered by dogs but owners kept throwing a moth eaten slobbery tennis ball toward us so we could throw it back if the dog couldnt find it. After one pick up and realising how gross the ball was I left it on the ground. Maaaate, throw the ball... maaaate cmon on, chuck the ball. So I did. In a bin.

its been a while since i had dogs, but I used to run a pair of huskies, go camping with them, race them. When the second of them passed away my 2nd kid (the one in the story) was just walking and I decide I couldnt dedicate the time another working dog needed for exercise, wouldnt be fair on the dog. i consider myself a dog person but I never expected others to put up with them.

Random FB buyer: "Would you ship (item for sale) before payment?"
Me: "Hahahaha. No. I can ship AFTER you pay"
Fuck those "send item before payment" people as well. :)
still, they are worse than the "what's your best price" or "what's your price range on this?" people.
I"ll tell you what my best price is, AND my price range.... The advertised price, in advance, cleared bank deposit, or.... GTFO. ;)

I was never a cat person until we got our pair of rescue kittens 18 months ago, now they’re okay but they still like to be arseholes like running under my feet when I go anywhere, will only eat their food if dry and wet is separate
Then one of them that doesn’t really like me but loves to come in and wake me up when I’m supposed to be up for work, only to get fed. She hasn’t worked out I don’t work 7 days a week, so like I said they still can be arseholes, I like to sleep in on Sundays

Facebook marketplace is the worst.
I had a guy asking about a gas heater I'm selling.
FB Flog: Hey mate, really keen on the gas heater. Could I pick it up today?
Me: Yeah, no worries. I'll be home after 12pm. Address is 123 Fake Street
Him: Cool, I'll send you a message before I head around.

Didn't show up. Arranged a second time to pick up. No show again. Sent him a message asking if he still wanted it. No answer. <Facepalm>

I love cats but I won't keep one here in Cairns, the native wildlife is too vulnerable to such an accomplished hunter.

Yeah nah. My Heeler is a handful at 15mo, very well socialised with adults and other dogs but still too full on with small kids including my grandbabbies. Out walking i warn people wanting to pat that she's friendly but will jump and lick, and i only allow pats if I'm holding her harness. Out in the park i leash her the minute another dog or human approaches. I want her to be an ambassador for the breed, not a stereotype.
