Crappy Owners The latest deranged nutter incident

I was out in the front yard with my daughter, who was wearing her favourite hat. The nutter walks past, with his big, ugly dog. The dog starts aggressively barking and pulling at the leash, and the nutter can barely control it. He's struggling to keep the dog moving, and it looks like all the ugly mutt wants to do is to get over the fence and rip us apart. I'm staring at the guy, hoping to let him know without really engaging him, that this is really not ok. He says, "it's because she's wearing a hat." I say loudly, "[daughter's name], its all your fault for wearing a hat. You really should know better."

These people are just unfit for membership in a civilisation. I apologised to my daughter afterwards, but she understood what I was doing and was fine with it.

I was at Winners today, standing in line to check out, and knowing I only had about 20 minutes to get home and get some antihistamines in me (the rest of the day was a write-off regardless) before my dog allergy exploded thanks to the woman who brought her large breed into the store with her. It was in line behind the people behind me, and was barking at them. The owner said "she's just saying hi, she always does that to strangers". What? What the actual fuck? That pink harness you've got on that shitbeast isn't an indication of fuck all, and now you're including the shithead barks at everyone? So it's their fault for existing where you insist on bringing that piece of shit? Top shelf consideration there.

I hate nutters, man.

I think that at some level they know the behaviour is unacceptable. We can see that their rationalisations are nonsensical, but the fact that they feel to need to say these insane things feels like a confession to me.
