There are morons in every State and every City. Don't get upset over a dumb comment. Outside of the idiot, hope you had a good time in the Windy City.

No one ever called Maxine or one of the spice boys a Rat, Gerbil, etc. Perhaps that is becuase Carlo is always there watching their back. If someone did, I would have to hold my wife back from attacking.

I'm really surprised at people nowadays. We were in the line at mcdonalds and the 2 women behind us were clearly talking about my stepsister (who is 14 and going through her experimental stage) and her hair color (purple and black and orange) and just really saying some tacky and hurtful things.

I waited until they were sitting down and we moved over to the table next to theirs and I just commented really loud "can you believe that lady in the red shirt? " And started picking them both apart. They got up and moved! Before we left I stopped by their table and told them that they really should be more careful what they say because they never know what it will do to the person who hears. I then told them that my sister had just recently been in a psychiatric hospital for depression, that she is a self mutilator and had attempted suicide and that their words were not building her up, but tearing her down even further. (all that is true- I didn't make it up). They apologized to me and said they didn't know.

I am a speak your mind kind of person, but never at anyone else's expense and if I even think I hurt your feelings, I will come to you and apologize.

The rat comment is an 8th grade mentality. I have had my 8th graders say Rosie looked like a rat. Of course, they were trying to get a "rise" out of me and I didn't let them. However, if an adult said it....ummmm they might want to watch their backs! ;) Lol. I would have a few "unlady like" comments for them. :eek:

I would have leaned over and told Remy confidentially, but loud enough for the guy to hear ... "Look Remy, a real live a**hole!"

I have never heard anyone say nasty things about Poppy but sometimes when she wears clothes I get funny looks. The other day I was buying Poppy a couple of new t-shirts and the lady who served me in the pet shop was really snooty and I could tell she didn't approve, I didn't say anything but it did annoy me. I treat my dog better then a lot of people treat their kids so she has no right to judge me. I tend just to let things go though, I think anyone who would be nasty about a little dog must be a very sad horrible person who is not worth my time.
I also hate it when people think they know eveything and make sure everyone knows it. My BF has bulldogs and we were out walking Poppy and his bulldog girl a few weeks ago, it wasn't hot but the sun was out (I was wearing a jumper so it wasn't hot weather) and this woman walked past us in the park and said loudly to her friend "dogs like THAT shouldn't be allowed out in this weather" .. she said it so we could hear, and before
he could stop himself my BF said "dogs like YOU shouldn't be allowed out at all" ... LOL I laughed but mainly because of the shocked look on both hers and my BF's face because he couldn't quite believe he had said it LOL! Most of the time I think people like that should just be ignored though.
