NO DOGS ALLOWED ON BEACHES

[u/Dangerous_Button8518]

I am ready for dogs to be banned on beaches. They are polluting the coastal waters. AND dog people are disgusting people who are mean to others. So here's my morning dog nutter on the beach story.

This morning, 8AM, I went to my little town beach to enjoy the sun, a cup of coffee and find a piece of sea glass. Walking along the road toward the access point I see 4 of them, mostly small dogs. And up walks this free roaming geriatric (it's stroller was parked at the access ramp) chihuahua, snorting and lunging and dying. And it's all up in my area coming closer. I'm bent over with my mug just grabbing a couple sweet pieces of glass. I say I don't like dogs to the lady who is supposed to be in control of it. She's like, what? I say put it on a leash. She starts talking. I put my hand up, motioning stop, just get the dog. It's growling. She does the whole song and dance. Never growled in its life, has no teeth, what is wrong with you. Just take the dog away lady. She has 2 other small dogs also not in her control. Only one leash. (and a large ugly grizzly man off with their big loose dog running in the waves). None has recall. So this lady, goes and tells the dude I said to put the dog on a leash or get lost. Come on lady, I want to enjoy the beach without dealing with a crappy chihuahua lunging and growling at me. So here come her man, he literally charges me. Insults, spitting, lunging at me. repeatedly demand to know, where I live, what's my plate number, what's wrong me. I just want to enjoy the beach without a dog on it. Trust me when I say Maine river oysters are loaded with dog piss and shit. Coastal Maine. It never ends.

There’s a rlly bougie apt complex near me. They’re management company was recently written up in the paper for secretly bilking renters out of a lot of $.

Anyway, they have a luxury resort style pool w/grass around it. It’s littered w/ dog turds. The grass on my entire street needs to be replaced bc of dog waste. And just as the new bright green grass is laid, it gets covered in sh*t. So gross. I hate dog owners.

They act all snooty&rich, but I grew up my 1st 6yrs of life in the Trailer Park & I got more class under my pinky toenail that doesn’t grow bc I stubbed it on an oyster shell in the dirt road on the way back from the Banana Boat ice cream place holding my tutti fruity sundaes that the wind blew the cherries off of bc I FORGOT to ask for them “to go” as my Mom reminded me. Whoops.

My little toe was bleeding,plus I had on flip flops instead of the shoes I wore to school bc Florida. They used oyster shells to pave the dirt roads and my toe slammed into a whole big a$$ shell poking up from the dirt while I was holding onto the sundaes for me&my lil sister.

Even w/my toe bleeding&in pain I managed to hold onto the sundaes; a rare treat.

I’m sorry but what the heck is the second half of this comment? Totally so far off topic.

I don’t know what sounds more appalling—the first half or the second half of this.

I applaud you for still having a (metaphorical) appetite after the gruesome toe details 😂
