This doubles as a "made me lose faith in humanity" moment.
Was delivering newspapers, and a little Chihuahua was barking at me from this old ladies' porch. Now last time this dog was out it was biting at my ankles and got my pant legs, so when she says "he doesn't bite, he's just a barker" I know its just as much bullshit as every other time anyone else has said that in all of history.
So, predictably, dog bites at my ankles again today. Now this doesn't really bother me much, its actually kinda cute because I can scare him off just by raising my foot a bit.
Cue old lady getting her big ass sunday paper and FUCKING SLAPPING THE DOG WITH IT. And I don't mean a light tap either. The poor little pooch literally slammed into the wall from the blow.
AND THEN SHE DID IT AGAIN WHEN HE WAS IN THE HOUSE.
WTF LADY? THAT PAPER WEIGHS MORE THEN THAT FUCKING DOG DOES. THAT'S LIKE ME SLAMMING MY VAN INTO YOU.
I really wish I could report this or something, but we tried that with the dogs a few doors down when their owner left them there after getting the house repo'd and leaving them to starve/be eaten by fleas/etc. and nothing was done whatsoever. Plus I would probably lose my job because they're total asshats like that and have threatened such action before when we just asked a customer to salt the ice in their drive and said customer complained.
So yeah. Just so much ugh.
