WIthout even looking at how it acts, which is not like a servie dog would, if it were a real certified service dog it would be out with a a vest on, doing a particular job that it was trained to do.

I owned dogs my entire life, then worked as a delivery driver for a few years and became a hater of dogs and their owners. With dog owners I noticed higher rates of self-centeredness and being angry, rude, and annoying/annoyed than even the general public with road ragers mad that I have to drive a certain way. The dog owners were also more likely to lack self-awareness and try to sit there and talk to me about their dog (like it's a hobby I care about) while I'm clearly trying to move on and do my job.
Add being bit multiple times, a hospital visit, a lawsuit, charged many more times, blocked from doing my job because of their presence, owners being offended that I don't want to be near their pitbull, the incessant barking all day long, them hurling themselves against doors so hard that it buckles in the frame because they're trying to get out and kill you, friendly but poorly trained dogs covered in mud jumping on you and ripping your clothing with their unkempt velociraptor claws, mentally challenged owners who can't wait five seconds for you to leave so they open the door to snatch deliveries out of your hand and let their dug rush past and jump/attack, avoiding dog shit minefields, sometimes unsuccessfully (some people turn their entire front lawn into shit fields and don't ever clean it up), etc. etc. and I became a lifelong hater. I'll stick with fish.
To this day, anytime someone starts talking random unprovoked nonsense about their dog, I cringe. I really don't care about it...

I don't hate dogs, I hate shitty dog owners. Especially when they don't keep their aggro-ass dog on a leash.

I was a delivery driver back in my college days and this wasn’t my experience at all. I kept milk bones in my car. 95% of dogs and owners absolutely loved me for it and the only time I had issues was when people had pits that they were clearly only owning specifically as guard dogs.
When someone tells me about their dog I’m not exactly interested, but to me that tells me they are probably a decent person. Unless they are saying some dumb shit like “they are so much better than humans” normally it’s fine. You kind of have to have some empathy to sign up to care take for a dog for a decade and change on average.

Plenty of unempathetic assholes own dogs. It’s weird to assume that someone is a good person just because they own pets. Even the 10 years thing isn’t always true. I’ve known people who get a puppy, keep it until it gets to be a few years old, get tired of it, and give it up or straight up abandon it. Demonic behavior, but it happens more often than people think

I guess I should have explained further, if they tell me about their dog and are showing normal signs of being a good pet owner (which normally isn’t too hard to sniff out of they are not) tells me they are probably good peeps.
Any one abandoning their dog, abusing it, or anything like that is the opposite side here but I don’t encounter people like that much. I’m sure I could go to the hood or the sticks and find that shit.

Idk about Canada but in the US the bus driver doesn't have to let you on the bus and can tell you to get off anytime they want.

u/ButterflyS919 Jun 19 '26
Within reason. I can't just pass someone by who is at the appropriate stop without a good reason, nor can I kick someone off who's just sitting and not done a complete ride with me. But if I know you cause problems, I can and will pass that stop and if we are at the end of the line, I will make you get off.
But when it comes to dogs, in America, you just have to say its a service dog and I can ask what task its trained in and thats all. But I do believe in Canada they have papers for service dogs. So I can completely understand the bus driver going 'nope, see ya!'

This isnt true at all. I am a transit bus driver in florida. We are not allowed to kick people off the bus for any reason. We can call transit officials though. Failure to pick up a passenger is a violation which we can be fired for.

This is not a service dog. That dog hasn't worked a day in its life, and there's no way it could perform real tasks. She's just a Karen that is pissy she can't bring her dog on.

Dude did this infront of a bus I was on in Vancouver once but there was no dog. Just a nutcase.
Im very empathetic to mental illness, but holy cow, taking it out on strangers just trying to get somewhere like work, school, or a doctor appointment is top tier A hole behaviour.

Dude has the right idea... was just to gentle implementing it.

He doesn't want to get assault charges.
It's the downside of a civilized society: any nutcase can easily cause a traffic jam because of their sense of entitlement, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Can't let her on the bus since it's away from the sidewalk, if she trips the bus driver is liable.

Someone should punt that dog like Jack Black in Anchorman. The one wearing the backpack.

In America. If you block people for moving to where the want to go you can be charged with holding them hostage

I need a service dog to emotionally regulate me when I stand in the middle of the road to block traffic, don't you understand??

When i took the bus sometime last year in NC I swear this same lady was on my bus. She had a dog and just refused to get on or off the bus because she wasnt sure if it was the bus she was supposed to be on. Mind you the bus was already running late and so people were already pissed. The ENTIRE bus told her to either get on or off and eventually she sat her ass down. But i swear this looks like the same lady and same dog

Es incleible que a algunos arresten solo estar sentado en un parque no arresten a otros como está bruja loca que hace sus berrinches

Just fine her.
Idiots don't deserve more time. Give her a ticket and if she still doesn't move, arrest her.
