What makes you angry?

People like that are the reason the word "Sheeple" exists.

 

What makes ME angry? You wanna know what makes ME angry? I'll tell you... Verizon/Samsung makes me angry. Why, WHY can't these bastards launch a system update without including a half dozen stupid ass, worthless game apps EVERY.F***ING.TIME?!! If I wanted that shit on my phone, I'm perfectly aware where to find it and how to download it. I don't need these jackasses cluttering up my device, using my memory, usimg my bandwidth, to un-necessarily push this garbage down for me to immediately uninstall. Whoever keeps approving/implementing this needs to be stripped naked and plopped genitals first on the biggest fire ant mound in Texas!

 

Agree 100%.

Now I have to go put tires on my rims.

Dubs?

 

Your tire actually does go on your rim, or at least the bead does. Calling a wheel a rim is akin to calling a tire a bead, IMO.

 

What the hell is this? Yep.....mounted to the roof.

 

Looks like @Tundra2 Still got that deer magnet?

 

We have some screwball that drives around with a rotating yellow light on his roof. I get a kick out of seeing the top of his dash covered with envelopes. I can't imagine the reflection of all that mail on his windshield. I guess his thinking is, "I can't see squat out of my windshield so watch out and get our of my way."

 

Yappy little dogs.

I despise yappy little dogs. If they're quiet, fine. But 99.9% are yappy little shitheads who can fuck right off. It should be a law to put bark collars on small dogs until they're trained not to yap.

People who live in apartments and own said yappy little mongrels should also be fixed with shock collars so whenever their little turd yaps, they get electrocuted. Train the owner to train the dog.

To quote the great Ron Swanson..."Anything under 20lbs is a cat, and cats are pointless"

 

How about you get mad at the terrible owners who don't teach their dogs not to bark, regardless of size. It's a pure myth that little dogs are yappy. Shitty owners just let little dogs bark more because their barks are not as loud as a bigger dog.

 

Hence my addition that the owners should be fixed with shock collars. I dispute your assertion that little dogs being yappy is a myth. I've met very, very few that aren't.

 

Then you've met owners who let little dogs bark. It's not the dog's fault. Your post also stated that the dog would get the shock collar, not the owner. I'm on board with the owner getting the zap if their dog barks.

 

Thank goodness our yappy little dog is 25 pounds.

 

Both of them get bark collars.

Big dogs that constantly bark should get bark collars too, same with their owners. I've dealt with far fewer big dogs being problematic though. They don't seem to have the midget complex that runts do and constantly yip to make up for a lack of size.

 

Dogs don't see size. That's why a chihuahua can rule a great dane. That's anthropomorphizing the dog and assigning it little man syndrome. As stated, few big dogs are barkers because people are more bothered by big dogs barking so they actually train them not to bark.

My little dog was not a yapper. Neither are my brothers two little dogs. My sister, who thought it was cute when the little dogs were puppies, has only ever had yappers. A buddy of mine with nothing but big dogs (5 of them) had nothing but yappers, because it didn't bother his family enough to properly train them to be quiet. Then he remarried, and they are getting trained out of it because his wife can't stand it.

 

Just sneaking in a hair over the wire. But still yappy, so collars for both of you!!

 

Our dog has anxiety so training helps but it only goes so far when he gets agitated about something.

 

I don't remember ever training my dogs not to bark, though I probably did unconsciously. Now my 5 year old golden kind of purrs when she wants something. It gets my attention so she doesn't have to bark and it's as cute as it can be. She absolutely CAN bark - sounding like the 100 lb dog she is. But that's reserved for other times.

 

Individual dogs will have their own tendencies with vocalization. It's true, there are some dogs that are yappers and some that aren't, I'm just saying it has nothing to do with size of the dog.

 

Threads that get derailed make me angry

 

Like what?

 

If I may,
Little dogs were the original alarm systems. They were bred to be small and yappy. Palaces would have 40 of 'em running around.
So, it's not a matter of training. Most people simply get and keep the wrong breed for their lifestyle.
It makes me angry that everyone doesn't know this shit.

 

An alarm that always goes off is just noise. They worked as alarms because they only barked when appropriate. That came from training.

 

You're right. But it's just easier to get a more appropriate breed from the get go. It's like getting a German shepherd as a house pet and training it to not bark or herd.
Most people get little dogs because they're cute, they think they're easy to handle and most people treat them like human babies.
Which is perverse and makes me angry.
But you're right, yappy dogs can be trained. But, how many people know half a shit about dogs or should even own one?
I digress. It all makes me angry.
Btw, slept an hour last night and I'm a little goofy. I'm not even sure if this is really happening right now

 

Funny you say that, because most people should really be getting companion breeds, and a lot of companion breeds are little dogs. Pugs are a prime example. Perfect dog for me, and I loved that dog like she was my kid because I don't have any kids. People should definitely do research and make informed decisions so they can properly care for a pet, though.

 

I used to think about ways to murder everyone that did that. A few years ago, I realized that most vehicles now have that auto bullshit. That may account for some of it.
hmmm, yeah, no. That's just as annoying. They should still be set on fire and someone should put out the flames with a baseball bat.

 

I'm gonna use this one!

 

A baseball bat with spikes/nails in it!
