Crosses what line ? there's a line ? Funny, I thought people were allowed to baby their pets as they saw fit.

Also, maybe said person hates children and has no intention of shooting out another resource sucker just to please the breeding masses.

Thats a matter of opinion. Personally I consider parents and grandparents to be the worst, with all the pictures and boring anecdotes they're constantly throwing in your face. Ugh.

Plus, birds arent annoying. Dogs, on the other hand...
That's because they ARE family members to some people. And let's not go there with stupid stickers. Personally I have none on my car, but I see plenty of those stupid stick figures spreading all the way across the rear window of your average minivan.

I'm going to call out this gross generalization because God knows enough people do it to me. ALL dogs most certainly do NOT bark.

My little Maltese NEVER barks, except for a few token ones, but only after dark and it's like they are halfhearted barks for show lol. Plenty of other dogs bark at HIM though on our walks though. And he always seems so puzzled like he doesn't understand why another dog wouldn't want to be friends.

There is also the Basenji breed that is a barkless dog. SO, therefore not ALL dogs bark.

Yeah, needless to day that flight took a significant delay as the police got involved.

Or the time a passenger stripped down butt naked in the gate area, wearing only a Native American headdress, and ran down the jetway before popping a squat and refusing to move.

People complain about the attitudes of customer service employees but don't realize the amount of self-entitled a**holes we have to deal with constantly. Constantly. Like this lady. Substitute her dog for luggage or a ticket exchange or a weather delayed flight and that's our whole day sometimes.
There are enough of those self-entitled a**holes to go around! I don't think there is a job out there these days, even jobs where one is required to deal with the public just part of the time, that employees don't have a generous number of those entitled a**holes to deal with.

Yeah, but come on, MOST do. The vast majority. And there's plenty of annoying dog owners who just let them bark and bark and bark.

As I stand there in frustration, I notice the quivering little dog starting to pee. Now there is a puddle on the floor and of course dog urine on parts of the cart.

I'm sick of this, "We should be able to take our dogs wherever we want" culture.

I'm guessing they must have claimed it was a service animal since I don't believe "regular" dogs are allowed.
When I worked at Squalmart, I saw many a parent let their kids ****, even shat on the floor and continued on as if they hadn't noticed. So your point is ?

I'm thinking this particular woman is a bit too long in the tooth (so to say) to "have a kid".

Still haven't gotten therapy for that severe case of misanthropy, huh?
