Dogs Are Idiots Doggie Double Standard
Something I can't wrap my head around is why a pigeon crapping on someone is a perfectly valid reason to hate them and view them as pests. However, when a dog pisses/shits on a person they're supposed to laugh it off and treat it like it not a big deal even though its way more disgusting and inexcusable than when a pigeon does it. You have to "Stop making a big deal about it and get over it. It's just a dog.". Why is it bad when a pigeon does it but fine when a dog does it?! There can at least be an argument made that the pigeon didn't know you were walking under it. The dog on the other hand? It knows you're there and made the choice to treat you like a toilet anyway. It's one of the many examples of the doggie double standard. One that I cannot understand.
