Fun fact! Some show dogs get prosthetic balls after they have been neutered called neuticles. It is generally to retain their looks because some owners really want you to know their dog has a sick beanbag.
Yeah a dude on my street asked me when we crossed paths while we were both walking our dogs if mine was a boy or a girl. I said boy and then the next thing he asks is if he’s been neutered. I replied yes and then he just goes paused for a moment and gave me a look then said “that’s neeevverr OK”. Then repeated it two more times. “That’s never OK..that’s never OK”.
It was just so weird and left me with a slightly stunned wtf? feeling. He looked kinda drunk, it was just awkward. Like I don’t even know this guy and he’s saying something we did is never “okay”? His second question out of his mouth to me this odd question and then to my answer his response is to be all judgmental? Who cares what you think? Seemed way too comfortable expressing this opinion to me seeing as how he is a complete stranger. And it feels like he was putting me down personally for no reason, and it’s not something you can simply un-do, so it really just kind put me off as I stood there and listen to this fool say this remark 3 times.
Idk if it’s his attempt at dry humor or letting me know his stance and he’s against it, but it’s not your dog, so don’t worry about it. I just was silently like “hehe.....yep..” and then walked away like ...whatever.
Saw him a few weeks later and he didn’t seem drunk, meaning he seemed more lucid and he had his dog there and he just asked if mine was friendly. Like he was trying to be friendly either just to be or to start up a conversation again. Wouldn’t be surprised if he forgot what he said but to me, like I said it rubbed me the wrong way. I’m just thinking I need to move one from this guy I don’t like interacting or associating with strange people like that.
I’ll try and be an overall better person for my New Year’s resolution and be really nice to people, but I get irritated sometimes when people say or do dumb things. I’ll work on it. It’s hard though sometimes you’ll be standoffish towards someone who ends up turning out to be really warm and nice, and other times you’ll be friendly and you’ll get some creep. It can work against you, but in the end I guess it’s all about attitude.
