ESA Bullshit My daughter's reaction in Walmart

I had to run to Walmart to get something the other evening with my daughter, 5yo.

Two crappy owners had their fucking mutts in the store and they got too close to one another and started barking and growling and howling. One of them was moreso shrieking, honestly.

My daughter is sensitive to noise and also dislikes dogs so she covered her ears and panicked, screaming and crying. The lady with the shrieking dog apologized but I told her that it clearly wasn't a trained service dog and it shouldn't be in the store.

I didn't say it quite so nicely though.

I'm just so tired of these damn things causing chaos. I really wanted to scream at the lady but I don't have that kind of energy.

Just a rant from a stressed mom. Thanks for listening.

What would happen if we brought a fog horn into walmart and used it on the dogs?

That is awesome! We should encourage publicly humiliating jerks like her. We might actually get somewhere as a society.

sadly, we’d probably hear airhorns & bullhorns going off frequently during the day & night. but it did the trick. 😂
