[Vent] A woman pissed me off at the park today...
NB: I'd just like to start my saying that I've been off work with gastric flu for the last few days so I thought I'd take my dogs for a walk today to get some air. I'm still not feeling 100% physically and emotionally cos being ill sucks. Anyway...
For the sake of this story, everyone will be as follows:
*Me
*JJ (my younger Westie)
*Alfie (his brother)
*Pretentious Bitch (PB for short)
*Nice Dog Owner (NDO)
The park where I walk my dogs isn't strictly a dogpark but dogs are allowed off leash as long as they're under control at all times. Our normal route takes us passed a clump of trees where JJ (my Westies are twins but I think he's a bit younger than his brother) stopped to do his business. I'd already rounded the corner of the path at this point but I looked back and saw that he was starting to do his business so I began to walk over, poop bag in hand.
Meanwhile, I see NDO walking along the path with PB. PB takes it upon herself, (despite seeing me walking toward JJ with poop bag in hand) to very loudly announce that JJ is doing his business. Because I feel like shit and really hate PB in general (I say hi to every dog owner I see whenever I'm walking mine and she just blanks me and looks the other way with her nose in the air - she's middle-aged and dresses like a granola) I say "Yeah, I've got it. Thanks." I kid you not, she CONTINUES TO STAND THERE AS I'M PICKING IT UP AND ONLY WALKS AWAY WHEN I'M DONE. As I'm walking to the poop skip, I hear loudly mutter about "irresponsible young people make irresponsible dog owners. I bet she wouldn't have picked it up if we'd just walked away." -_-
TL;DR: My dog does his business and is subjected to an obnoxious, crazy woman announcing it to everyone and then standing in front of aforementioned pile while I pick it up and thinks irresponsible young people = irresponsible dog owners.
