I never feel like I am look like a psycho and even if I do, I don't care.
This man was at my rents house and he was so rough with Snickers (trying to see his teeth and slapping him around) that I said it out loud...you're being too rough and please be gentle...and it was great b/c all my family agreed. I scooped him up right away. Snick is a tiny so I was livid!!
Speak up girl...someone steps on Uni, make sure they know. I would say "Excuse me, you just stepped on my dog!!" and I would say it loud and in an annoyed way!
Then there are the plain dumb people...you just wanna smack em
