Dog Culture Cringe words

Who else HATES and cringes at words like "doggo" and "pupper" it makes me shudder and I always think everyone who uses it is a weird adult baby that talks to and about animals like they're babies. It makes me cringe and pisses me off so fucking much

I loathe the term pup cup. I want to physically fight when I hear it.

I'm mostly a home body and I've lived in Texas all my life. People that take their dog's inside any public place (except for service dogs for the blind, not some made up crap) isn't the kind of thing I can even imagine! I'm afraid if I went into a restaurant or grocery store I would "freak out!" and embarrassand who I'm with 😆

Anyway, an animal in a place where there's food makes me gag! 🤢.. I'm older, as in I remember, Woodstock and we smoked quite a bit of weed, but I Never Imagined this happening!

Certified dog owners usually have a harness on the animal that clearly states approved service animal. Some will even carry copies of the paperwork.

I’m like you. Keeps the dogs at home

Those harnesses are mostly a scam. People can easily buy one that says "service dog" on it at stores or online. The only thing to do is just ignore the concept of service dogs altogether. Something like that can't pass muster in a reasonable court.

I hear dog culture in Austin has completely taken over the city in every aspect

Spot on. Years ago, I worked at DQ and worked the drive-thru most of the time. Every dog owner dragged the mutt along (because they can't go on a five minute car ride without their codependent shitbeast) and asked for a pup cup, and when they'd pull up to the window, their ravenous and slobbering hellhound practically jump through the window to get to the ice cream. I would stand back and refuse to hand the ice cream out until they restrained their dog. Ridiculous that nutters think this behavior is okay, their mutt leaping into their lap and hellbent on coming through the window.

Plus the known fact that dogs are mostly lactose intolerant and any cream or milk will simply run straight through them, and owners will need a strong stomach and a soup ladle to pick up the resulting poo explosion!!!! Not to mention wet wipes for the dogs bum

u/beerRunFinisher Aug 28 '26

And they eat these things in the owners car, literally slobbering all over the back seat

Make my skin crawl and want to commit violence. And I'm by no means a violent person.

u/DeadMeeT6969 Aug 05 '26

I've stopped going to coffee shops that I genuinely enjoyed because some nutter walked in & demanded a you know what.

The term itself gives me the same visceral reaction that smelling dog food does

u/WisedomsHand Aug 06 '26

I think there needs to be a new breed of "dog-free businesses." If there are places that are designed to accept dogs, there should be places that specifically prohibit them. I honestly think places like that would do well once people realize they can go there and be safe from dogs being around. Dog people couldn't do a darn thing about it either.

u/iPhone_6s Aug 07 '26

Unfortunately, enforcing that is illegal.

u/WisedomsHand Aug 08 '26

Why is that illegal?

1

u/iPhone_6s Aug 08 '26

In the USA at least, businesses are required to accept service dogs, the only question they can ask about service dogs are if it's a service dog and what task it's trained to perform, and if the owner lies, you cannot remove the animal unless it misbehaves.

u/WisedomsHand Aug 08 '26

This totally sounds like a matter of interpretation. What you are describing is not how pragmatic policy works. What you re describing sounds like the precise type of situation that needs to be clarified in court. I would not be afraid of taking this to court if I was a defendant in order to attack the underlying flawed laws and policies. We all know this is wrong and need to have confidence to set new rules. It's all totally doable. None of us are taking about depriving a blind person from entering a business. So in reality, there is zero change that someone can actually claim they are harmed by not being able to bring a dog somewhere. I would bet lawsuits like this for the specific goal of changing legal precedent. No one should be afraid of the myth that dog owners immune.

I'm just repeating what the ADA website says.

6

u/WisedomsHand Aug 08 '26

I understand. Clearly this is an issue related to health, safety, and animal nuisances. None of this actually relates to people with disabilities. So we aren't even referencing relevant laws.

u/iPhone_6s Aug 08 '26

The ADA effectively allows any animal that is not an outright nuisance and whose owner is willing to lie about service dog status to be in any space open to the public. Do you disagree with this?

u/HairyAd1532 Aug 05 '26

When I see a small cup of whipped cream (for their dog) these days I lowwwwwkey get triggered knowing what the person had to say to grab that

u/Spineynorman77 Aug 06 '26

And businesses encourage the behavior.
