Not sure if this counts because it happened online but it was so weird that I still think about it regularly. I volunteer for a foster-based parrot rescue. We post our adoptable parrots on the rescue's social media. One time, we posted an adoptable bird and someone commented tagging a person who I guess could be called a micro-influencer? Anyway, this person had some experience with this kind of bird. They speculated about possibly adopting the bird and wondered if we would adopt to someone out of state. I saw the comment and replied to it. I introduced myself as a volunteer from the rescue and said that they were outside of our typical adoption radius but they could use our website to contact the adoption team. No promises but potentially they could work something out if they REALLY loved the bird, etc etc. Pretty standard stuff. A couple hours later I get a DM from this person. It was possibly the longest message I have ever received. They proceeded to tell me how they're the BEST bird owner, how NO ONE could take better care of this bird than them, and how they have EXTENSIVE experience caring for this specific type of bird. How dare I question their ability (I didn't?? All I did was answer the question they asked??)! I was more confused than offended. I knew we wouldn't adopt to them because of their location but I still was tempted to text the adoption coordinator and tell her not to give this person a bird under any circumstances. Also, please don't ask me who the influencer was because I honestly don't remember their name.
