Donating YT 1000 Club Member | UGH! Why are people rude? Yesterday, we had a really long day. We woke up at 4 am to feed the homeless and we were heading home about 6 pm. Anyway, when we were done my brother called my husband and asked him to come to his apartment to help him move in an entertainment center he was getting from a neighbor. My husband left and my brother was calling the person in his apartment so when my DH got there she would be ready to let them in. Well, she never answered her phone! He waited 30 minutes and she never answered. So, my brother decided to walk my DH down to his car. They ran into the girl, apparently she sold it to someone else and just didnt want to face my brother. So, my husband says "ya know, you really shouldnt treat people like this. I have been up since 4 and drove 30 miles to come help move it in his apartment, I could be at home with my wife and yorkies. you should have just been honest and told him you got rid of it". Instead of aplogizing to him, she starts laughing because he said he wanted to be with his wife and yorkies. He said, what? Those are my kids & I only have 1 day off. Needless to say, when he got home he was MAD. I just wonder why people have to be this way? What was so funny about that? They are our kids, we dont have skin babies. I think it was rude. Not to mention wasted an hour and half of his time when he could have been resting. It just got on my nerves. I probably would have said more than he did if she laughed at me. |

| WOW!!! I have a few words for that woman that I won't say right now . . . How could someone be so rude and inconsiderate? Your husband is a bigger person than I am because I would have had a less than polite reaction to her, especially after being up since 4am! She sounds like she has no class, first by selling the entertainment center after already promising it to someone else then laughing at your husband's comment? All I can hope is maybe she was embarrassed by what a ^%*&^# she had been and the laughter was from nerves? I'm sorry he was treated like that, some people aren't worth the time of day! |

| She laughed because your husband loves his babies? She should be so lucky to have a guy that cares so much about all living things. I'm sorry that lady ruined his day off. At least you two put out good karma yesterday, feeding the homeless is very honorable. You two are very good people.

| I have to agree! My husband and I say hello to everyone we pass when walking the dogs. Do we get a response? No! It is very hard to find nice people these days. Like you said, if you were there, you would have had plenty more to say to that girl, but that type of person could care less. It is hard to take someone's word at face value anymore. You know, back in the day, when you promised something, it was their word. And for her to make fun of what he said about your furbabies! People just don't get it! I hope you and your dh enjoyed the rest of your day, in spite of what she said. |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Doesn't it amaze you how many people jump on that phone when they NEED you yet forget common consideration for your life when they don't ? A simple phone call back to let you know the situation changed would have taken 10 seconds out of their lives I'd have been very pissed too - |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I forgot to mention that this girl owed my brother money! She couldnt pay her rent 2 months ago and he helped her. She still couldnt pay and is now leaving the property. She couldnt pay anyone to move her so she started selling stuff. She asked him if he wanted her entertainment center, coffee table and end tables to "pay him back" for what she borrowed. So, when they found out she had sold it and he didnt get it, he was upset. He got the coffee table and end tables, but, someone offered her money for the entertainment center yesterday so she took it. In my opinion, she should have given my brother the cash!! I have found that most people just dont understand our kind of love for our furbabies. Im not talking about Yorkie people....all of you understand. hehe But, just meeting people on the street, they think we are nuts. They can think that, but they dont have to tell us! Geez! lol |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I just have to say this - the older I get the more intolerant I am of rude people. I question myself because I'm never rude to anyone but some days .....I REALLY want to be. I learned to walk away and do find myself kicking my own butt - I think many take kindness for weakness but I won't let people like that change who I am......but I DO hold back now because I find that there are more out there than not who just don't give a d**n |

| That is so incredibly rude!!! I realize that to a lot of people, they don't understand our obsessions with our Yorkies, but I would have a few harsh words for her!!! We also do not have any human children, and though i do realize that my boys are dogs, they are also my babies. I am so sorry for your frustration, know that you have support and virtual hugs
