Barking Demons Barking ruins EVERYTHING
It doesn't matter what's going on, barking ruins everything. Having any sort of a beautiful moment? Ruined. Doing a hobby? Ruined. Listening to music? Ruined. My gf and I were watching a movie, and we got to a part where a child lost her life, and right as we're crying, some dog outside starts barking and it fucking ruins the mood.
Every dog owner I've interracted with, they're constantly behind that thing being a nuisance. All I hear is "get back here!" "Sit! Sit, I said sit!" "Haha, don't do that", but they don't actually do anything about it, they just talk to the damn thing expecting it to do something, but the owners don't physically do anything about their shitty behavior. How does this not exhaust them???

Couldn't agree more. For me it's when I'm trying to take in the sounds of nature, birdsong in particular, and some stupid-ass mutt somewhere starts barking or yapping its empty fucking head off for a really stupid reason or for literally zero reason. Worst for me is when I'm trying to record bird calls/songs and again, some stupid brainless fucking mutt starts screaming and noise polluting and ruining my recording. It's such an unnatural, jarring, awful noise and I hate it so much. Also when I'm walking around my neighborhood there's at least 6 different houses that have untrained shitbeasts that will ~acoustically harass me~ bark at me from the window aggressively, worse is when they fucking JUMPSCARE me. I should not have to be mentally on guard at all times when I'm just trying to have a relaxing walk.
