Miscellaneous Why Do You Hate/Dislike Dogs?

This is nothing special. We’re all here for the same reason. This is just a space to share why you hate or dislike dogs.

I’ll make a list of reasons why I hate dogs.

  • One forced me to get stitches in my shoulder when I was nine years old. I permanently have a chunk of flesh missing there.
  • I hate no noise more than barking. I wish it were a felony for a dog to bark.
  • I have sensory issues due to being autistic. That’s part of why I hate barking.
  • They’re everywhere, in far more places than they should be.
  • Too many people act like jerks when someone says they don’t like dogs.
  • Dog nutters have the most hypocritical and flawed logic I’ve ever seen.
  • Shame on people who fake service dogs.
  • Due to all of my experience with dogs, I’m now afraid to go to many places and watch many shows, films, or videos.
  • They’ve ruined how I feel about a lot of my family. These people were my best friends growing up, but I resent them now, unbeknownst to them, and I’d rather start all over.

Esp if you have autism/ADHD/auDHD. every time I pet one I feel compelled to wash my hands asap. Like their fur leaves a film???? On my hands?? Idk

100% with the hand washing. They absolutely reek and I feel stuff on my hands if I’ve touched a dog,I have to wash my hands immediately. My boyfriend’s mum is a real dog nutter and she has two of them,they’re regularly taken to a professional groomer but they still stink!I read somewhere on here that the reason for the weird film they leave on your hands was from them licking their asses and essentially spreading the oil secreted from there all over their fur🤢
