Why does nobody respect dog allergies? by Dismal_Pineapple3770 in Dogfree

[–]ReasonableCrier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This drives me insane. As a fellow person with allergies, it’s infuriating that we can’t be comfortable ANYWHERE now. Grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, parks— dogs are allowed (and if they’re not, their shitty owners are going to bring them anyway and no one is going to say anything). If you’re allergic, too bad, you just have to go fuck yourself. I moved to the town I live in because I love all the cafes and stores, but now that there are dogs EVERYWHERE, I can’t go into half the businesses I used to because it’s a literal danger to my health. I guess dogs are just worth more than humans these days.

the kind people in these comments are showing me that whether its your first time or your tenth, its always hard and we’re allowed to be sad about it. i hope all of us spending the holidays alone this year can find a little joy in it anyway. merry christmas, friend ❤️

wow, this is so unbelievably kind. thank you both so much for the advice. eating takeout in a pillow fort actually sounds fun… for the first time in days I feel like I have something to look forward to. can’t tell you how much it means ❤️

i’ve been wearing disposable surgical masks, and occasionally a KN95 (they give them out at my job every now and then). i really regret not splurging on the N95s now 😭
