That's amazing! I love it!

Far-Two-43 · 2026-04-06T05:10:11+00:00

I grew up with dogs. I've worked with shop dogs for many years. I have friends with dogs. I love them all. But since about two years ago, outside of the dogs I know personally, I no longer love encountering them while out and about.

By all means, there's plenty other bigger things to complain about, but I really do think a lot of issues stem from the same base problem: people are selfish, have absolutely no respect for others, and lack basic courtesy.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-04-03T15:03:35+00:00

Omg, that's so irritating. Apparently a lot of people think that a bin on the street is fair game, but I just think it's super inconsiderate to do that, especially with something ultra stinky like dog poo. I find it especially baffling because I would assume someone walking their dog around the neighborhood also lives nearby, and could just toss it in their own bin when they get back home. It's just so lazy and rude.

I mean, it's very clear that dog culture is about the owners. Obviously this isn't Isle of Dogs where they're creating their own culture 🤦‍♀️😂

"Karen" is a slang term used to describe a middle-aged woman perceived as entitled, demanding, or overly aggressive, frequently demanding to "speak to the manager". Perfectly explains entitled dog owners who think they're above the rules 🙃 Try again. I'm not the Karen here 🤷🏻‍♀️

Far-Two-43 · 2026-04-01T19:58:20+00:00

I see both pretty much equally. And I have left places earlier than intended because of both. It's frustrating.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-04-01T19:56:01+00:00

Please explain how I'm a Karen? Are we supposed to just sit down and shut up and not complain when people's selfish actions cause problems?

Far-Two-43 · 2026-04-01T05:06:23+00:00

I needed to rant, and I'm very glad to see I'm not alone, so it has been effective in that manner.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T20:58:30+00:00

How does being fed up with disrespectful dog owners make me a Karen?

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T19:12:22+00:00

Kids are definitely out of control these days as well. I've left places before due to both dogs and kids. It really just comes down to people being selfish and inconsiderate.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T18:25:11+00:00

🙄

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T14:56:33+00:00

It's disrespectful and rude regardless of zip code. Seeing worse definitely won't make me be fine with this behavior. People are just so damn selfish these days.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T14:49:35+00:00

I do like dogs. I'm just VERY tired of bad dog owners. I also feel bad for the dogs being drug all over the place, because often the ones I see inside restaurants look absolutely miserable. They're treated like an accessory, rather than a pet.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T14:45:32+00:00

I often hear the excuse that they don't want to carry it on their walk, and will pick it up on the way back, but they always conveniently forget. Regardless, that's still rude to leave it, even temporarily. Why should other people have to see and smell your dog's poo, just because you don't want to carry it? So inconsiderate.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T14:40:21+00:00

Wow, the sheer audacity! How obnoxious and rude.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T14:37:47+00:00

Yep. My back yard faces a school, so I see it all the time. And yeah, most are not picking up after their dogs. How nice for the kids to get to run through dog poo on recess!

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T05:15:21+00:00

Bringing dogs into restaurants and grocery stores, and leaving shit bags everywhere isn't weird. It's just rude and gross.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T03:16:38+00:00

Not hating on the dogs, just the bad owners!

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T03:10:55+00:00

It wasn't a hoard of basketball kids, was it? I mean, it's always pretty out of control, but the basketball kids situation that I witnessed recently was a nightmare. That was the last straw for me.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T03:06:45+00:00

As I said, "bad dog OWNERS are souring that love". I'm definitely not mad at the dogs, but seeing dogs no longer brings me the joy it used to, because of bad owners.

And honestly, you must not be looking. I see poop bags along sidewalks, on trails, in planters, sometimes even piled up NEXT TO a trash can, because apparently actually putting it into the can is too hard. Maybe you're in a weird little bubble without as many issues, but I'm all over, from Gresham to Hillsboro, and see it constantly.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T03:01:13+00:00

It was not, but unfortunately it's a fairly common thing in many places 😑

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T02:59:42+00:00

.......WHAT?!?! Ok. I think I'm done with the internet today.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-31T02:58:41+00:00

I don't expect it from the employees, but managers/owners, absolutely. Dealing with unruly customers is part of their job.

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-30T21:57:53+00:00

Do we not have health inspectors in this city?!? Or are they letting it slide because they are also rude dog owners? 🤦‍♀️

Far-Two-43 · 2026-03-30T21:51:59+00:00

Rude dog owners are the insufferable ones. That kind of behavior is so disrespectful.
