What do pet owners do in this
forum that bugs me?
Get butthurt over being told the honest truth, and then claim we're just being a troll/a**/stupid/know-it-all when in truth, they're got a huge complex and their s**t stinks as bad as the next person's.
Oh and when people post in the Forum all like "Yeah the regs are such total asses...blahblahblah -insert butthurt person here-" Which makes THEM just as bad as the Reg who gets angry when a person is blatantly abusing/neglecting their duties as a pet owner.
What do pet owners do in the
real world That bugs me?
Well i'll just give my latest example. I was talking to my associate, Carl, who I clash with like no other. I told him about how i'd been sick all last week and hadn't been around to be pricing things or setting things up in the shop and i'm just utterly confused on what's what and who's who coming in. Then he ranted a bit on how he wasn't in last week either because he couldn't afford the gas to get to work. So I was just making conversation with him, I try to stay friendly with everyone, and we were talking about what we'd been up to and I was talking about Kitty and how she had a vet visit/ICU/Surgery that cost me well over 600 when all was said and done.
And you know what he says?
He says,
"If my pets get sick, they die. I don't have the money to do something. It's stupid to spend that kind of money on an animal" But I ignored it then he went on a 20 minute rant about his sister who spends 100 a month on a dog's medicine and yadda yadda.
So yeah, people who get pets, they get sick, and then they neglect them and let them die instead of spending the money to help them. =/
OMG I think I would of hauled of and Punched him in the face and then go on my own rant.... I made an enemy of a Brother in my fraternity that way, when the hamster broke its back and my other Brother wanted to take it to the vet as soon as she could. Teh enemy just "go buy a new one" and I raged at her. Also almost lost another friend when my boys first got a little runny nose since there are no small animal vets around here.
He'd probably burst into dust if I punched him.
Oh god and later, he asked about my parents and you know honestly he and my parents, similar in many qualities but because of the old hippy days. And he has asked MANY times if I had a dad, and how he passed away after I say he passed away. And THIS time he had the audacity, after I said "No dad committed suicide last year..." to actually say "Well ask your Mom out for me" I did tell mom, and after I said he had no teeth and refuses to wear dentures she said "EW!!" haha
But yeah, I was pretty upset. but it's like, there's some people you can tell them things all day long and they won't listen. Heck, I don't have kids, these pets are basically my kids. People spend oodles of money on children so why can't I spend it on pets? xD
I don't blame you for getting upset at those people, what so ever. -This- is why I just put a big focus on my pets/college/schoolwork/family right now. Not a huge social life but I figure later, i'll have plenty of time to deal with stupid people. xD And I do know the friends I have right now are true friends, even if we never have time to do anything. xD So that's a big bonus, seeing who sticks with you.
