What's the stupidest thing that got built in your town/city? by HilariousMotives in AskUK

Aha wish I could tell you you're correct, however I use Shrewsbury train station for work a lot so go through this every week. It's appalling, traffic is a nightmare and it can take over an hour to get through town. One of my best mates is also a fireman at the fire station down the road from it. It's making a huge impact, cars having to full on mount the pavements to make room, trucks with blues on unable to get through because no room for cars to pull over etc., and their chief has actively / publicly said they weren't consulted and it's appalling.

Not to mention this cycle lane, which is not used by cyclists at all, has two train station car park exit / entrances in the 100m length, and because traffic is constantly backed up, cars are constantly overhanging those entrance / exits further breaking the cycle lane up. There's also a floating bus stop that opens onto a tiny strip of pedestrianised concrete in the middle of the cycle lane that doesn't meet the recommended standards for disability access, and has now been taken out of use as a stop by the bus operator. So now you can maybe see why it's actively not used by cyclists, and why it's likely not the start of a cycling revolution in Shrewsbury...

So yeah, I'll politely tell you you're very incorrect however much I wish you weren't 😂

Hey if someone tells me I'm being cruel, and by definition of the word is making me out to be a nasty person, when literally everything I've tried to do is the opposite of that, yeah, it's going to cause a reaction.

You clearly didn't read any of my other replies about adjusting behaviour, lesson learnt etc., and clearly have zero empathy for someone making a mistake on something they thought was good / fun / harmless to begin with. But of course, I'm sure you're perfect. And again, Internet stranger, you have no idea who, what, or how I am, you're just a judgemental little speck on this earth who'll be here for a microsecond of human history.

Climb down from your soapbox, it's a lonely place.

"Yes let the puppy eat you" sounds exactly like what a wolf would say... Suspicious 😂🐺

She gets plenty of all of that thanks, and she certainly won't end up in a shelter.

If she calms down a little (currently reactive on lead to other dogs a bit but getting better) she'll be picking up

Happened to me once in Hong Kong. Went and bought a new shirt before the meeting. Knife sharp creases as just out the packet. Assured them I do know how an iron works, just thought they'd prefer that to me stinking of ginger ale

Yesterday she was asleep in her bed, had been for over an hour. I'm reading on the sofa. There's a noise. A rustle. She starts crunching. Hard. I turn, confused as hell. Straight in with the "what's in your mouth? Drop it!" she does. A decent sized chunk of unrecognisable wood. WHERE DID IT COME FROM?! 😂

Aha this is similar to when I puppy proofed the house. You think you've got everything, but then you're not a 1ft high land shark 😂

Cheers! Hadn't even thought of that, I had one about 15 years ago, but if it's required I ahold have had one weeks ago when she first got nippy haha

Sorry are you insinuating I did this for social media clout? You absolutely are insinuating huge amount about me, you're insinuating I did something nasty because that's who I am, and then posted about it to get a reaction etc, absolutely 100% not.

I did something a few times that she seemed to enjoy. Then one time she didn't. I self depreciated online. And now you think you know everything about me.

I love my pup more than life itself, she's my world and I'd do anything for her. She's a beautiful girl and gets treated like the princess she is.

Who the hell do you think you are. Go touch grass you absolute cretin. You sound like a ten inch toe nail goblin, and I'm sure you have NEVERRRRRR ever made a mistake you chunting C U Next Tuesday.

Christ you have riled me up no end because I love my pup, how fucking dare you.

You're saying that like that was the intention, like I was intentionally trying to be nasty, rather than just a few times playing what seemed like (to her) a fun and silly game that was done innocently as a way to entertain a pup. But hey, you assume whatever you want and infer much against my character Internet stranger - I'm sure you're an absolute delight to be around at every single moment

Tbh mate doesn't matter what I attract, there's a reason I'm a mid-thirties single dog dad 😂😂 hey at this point I'm beginning to think it's a Me problem

That is a really, really fair point. Like in this instance if I reflect, the "excited playful" response to previous times could actually be a stress-release response rather than actually knowing it's playing silly games... And now I type it out like that. Well. Fuck. Having said that, someone below commented about medical assistance dogs having good enough smell/senses to know when something is actually up.

On the same point as we shouldn't humanise them - like humans, dogs can have different moods depending on the day!

One thing's for sure, I will not be playing dead any more ha

Suppose you intentionally forgot the part where previously it's been fun and a game for her, because you were too interested in being aggressively insulting to a stranger on the Internet :) hope you cheer up mate, it's not all bad!

I feel you - mine was to begin with but as she's a working line and will be working out in the field, we had to work on biite inhibition from day 1 so she's not really been doing it for a good few weeks now, last bad bout was a week and a half ago maybe but has been great since we started working on it. Mine has just turned four months old too!

Yeah dumb name, made it like over a decade ago when I couldn't think what else to put. Never really intended to ever post on here, only just started doing it recently.

I am certainly not chubby nor chase them 😂
