I am thinking that winter is imminent and it is affecting peoples’ moods. Lately, Lucy & I have come across some serious “haters” on the trail during morning walkie.
This morning – no joke – we are plodding along, minding our own business when I see a woman fall flat on her face on the trail. The way she fell did not concern me, clearly she was not hurt, but I asked if she was ok?
Her response?
“Did you see how my dog tripped me?”
Me: “um no, not really.”
Lady: “he’s so afraid of YOUR dog that he tripped me.”
Me: (suppressing laughter) “um, OKAY, sorry.”
Are you SERIOUS?!?!?!
I am never very good with the spontaneous, witty remark.
Here is what I SHOULD have said:
#1: “I can recommend a good dog psychologist”
#2: “Really? your 100 pound dog is afraid of my 20 pound dog?” (rolling eyes)
People crack me up. Again as I have said over and over, I can only laugh to myself and feel sorry for people like this, as they surely lead unhappy lives.
