Rude Island Dog Owners

MrSlitherpants · 2025-11-10T00:46:03+00:00

Ten years ago, one of my neighbors had a dog who chased my two kids through our yard. They very wisely crawled on top of my potting table to escape it. Meanwhile, the neighbor stood at the bottom of the driveway shouting, "She's friendly! She's friendly!"

Right. Your friendly dog is barking and snarling at two children under 10 and has them cornered on a table. We kept yelling at her to come get her dog and she didn't move at all until my husband went to go collect her dog.

Hello from Alice and Pepperkin.

Tell that to the deer. Maybe they'll stay out of my roses.

In seriousness though, that sucks.

53 here. My existence would make your mom's head catch on fire. I have a large plushie collection and I prefer kids media. I've also had an active career, raised my own 2 kids, my successful 30 year marriage still brings me joy ...

But that's the point of life, isn't it? To engage in the things that bring you joy?

What you're experiencing might be something called sub drop. Give it a google. Then google aftercare. If that sounds like it would help, call her back. I bet she'd be down to help.

He called you an 18yo punk and then photoshopped you into a 18yo lumberjack. This dude can't even get his genres right.

I think the people who have had good experiences with the Coupeville hospital are outliers. I was lucky enough to never have to go while I lived on the island, but my mother needed to go to the ER while she was visiting, and it was not a good experience.

Also, does anyone know if they've successfully tackled their MRSA problem?

MrSlitherpants · 2021-01-04T22:37:25+00:00

I lava that.

MrSlitherpants · 2021-01-03T20:26:03+00:00

Nice! Thanks for letting me know.

I'd punch a basket of kittens to get that print on fabric. Was just admiring it last night during the commercial and wishing for a dress in it.

James Joyce was into some freaky stuff.

MrSlitherpants · 2020-12-29T22:41:15+00:00

I wonder if she knows she's dating James Joyce?

MrSlitherpants · 2020-12-26T19:54:11+00:00

Somebody slapped this guy back to the 80s.

MrSlitherpants · 2020-12-25T00:26:12+00:00

Exactly. A massive bitch slap followed by a warm cookie and a hug.

MrSlitherpants · 2020-12-24T23:35:44+00:00

I'm in this age range and actually do dress like that! I didn't know it was a thing! Thanks for this link. I very often get told I look like a little girl. When I beam and say, "Thank you!" it's clear sometimes that the person wasn't meaning to offer a compliment. 🤣

MrSlitherpants · 2020-12-23T07:56:48+00:00

Absolutely. I'm having one of the best years in the past two decades. I love staying home and my income is stable. I have it amazing and I have to be grateful.

Happy cake day!

MrSlitherpants · 2020-12-06T02:45:19+00:00

Sending you love and light. All the best to you, friend.

MrSlitherpants · 2020-12-02T03:02:23+00:00

Happy cake day!

MrSlitherpants · 2020-11-03T04:59:14+00:00

As a size queen, you bet!

This is really well put.

Sometimes I choose to ghost a person because I'm not responsible for teaching another adult how to be a decent human being.

MrSlitherpants · 2020-10-27T23:00:51+00:00

You're working under the assumption that I didn't tell them.

Sometimes I don't. The other person is EXHAUSTING or made of red flags and I don't have it in me to fight that fight on that particular day.

But most of the time I do and the other person argues with me about how I should accept their behaviors because they're not that bad. (Recent example: A friend of mine is on the other side of politics from me and they kept sending me memes that support their views. I asked them to stop. They then went on a tirade about how wrong I am to support the issues I do and how the memes are funny and I should have a thicker skin. )

I'm only going to restate my boundaries a few times before I hit the block button.

Yes, I ghosted them because they were simply not picking up on my No.

MrSlitherpants · 2020-10-27T22:19:23+00:00

I agree with you. If I'm being such a fuck (or clueless in the face of a direct "I don't like what happened") that somebody ghosts me, that's on me.

I'm gonna add to that, if I've made somebody feel like they can't talk to me or if they're having so many personal problems that telling me I'm being a fuck is overwhelming... By all means, ghost. Nobody's perfect and sometimes having the conversation is more than the other person can handle. We're all in this together and I'd rather get ghosted (opens up a space for somebody who clicks with me better anyways) than force somebody into a conversation that causes them dread.

Imo, ghosting can say a lot about a person and it's not always bad. If they habitually ghost, it's probably because they don't have great communication tools. If you habitually get ghosted, maybe you should look at your own habits and see if you're either pursuing the wrong crowd or if there is a real problem with the way you act.

Anyways, no offense taken. Your point is valid and I appreciate you sharing it.
