I'm Irritated By...#4

Yesterday I witnessed yet another display of human idiocy and inconsideration. Yaaay.

Dogs love to run off. I didn't really like the dogs in Italy, but I did think their behavior was better. They seemed to always be calm and they stood by their owners and just chilled even when you called to them. It was disheartening though, that they didn't even seem to want to come over and be pet. In America, dogs are crazy. People raise them to go nuts about everything. "Do you want to go on a walk??", "Hiiiiiiiiii! How was your daaaaay!?", "Oh you are so cute, aren't you?! So cute!!!", "Time to eat!!!". Its our fault. That's why I like that S.O. is so strict with his dog. I want her to be calm and able to behave. But she's reaching the terrible 2s. Of dog years. She's about 8 months and she's starting to ignore us when we tell her to come.

Yesterday, we were walking in the woods and we came up on a guy with his german shepard. They were running around like crazy, but they stayed in the area and it was fine. Then the dogs saw two other dogs walking with two women down the trail and ran there and back. The guy got his german shepard and kept him by his side but our dog kept running around like a rabbit and ran off again. S.O. was calling her and calling her and calling her and the women she was walking behind just kept walking. S.O. walked off to go retrieve her and bring her back and I sat down on a log because I had a headache. He turned the corner out of sight and I sat. And sat. And sat. ...And sat. Finally I got up and started walking after where he had dissapeared. Eventually I came to a fork and didn't know which way to turn, but I thought I heard sounds to the right and went in their direction. After another minute I ran into S.O. and the dog. He was annoyed. The women had just kept walking. Like they heard him calling repeatedly to the dog and they saw that the dog was following them, but they just kept walking. It would;ve taken no energy from them to stand still for two seconds and let him catch up and grab her but instead they ignored the whole situation. Assholes.

I suppose this was even more glaring because I helped a little old woman who reminded me of my great Aunt Rose yesterday. She had been looking at a plane and stepped on one of our speed bumps and fell on her hands and knees. The heels of each hand were bloodied and peeling and her knees were a little scraped but not badly since they'd been beneath pants. Patrick brought her and her son in and told me later that when he went to help her get up her tiny little pincher dog had attacked him and he wanted to kick the thing. I got alcohol pads that she blotted on her hands but then she'd rinse her hands in water because it stung and that was sort of funny. I put bandaids on her and she was fine but if I had seen it happen I would've had a heart attack. Its ridiculous how people can't even do something that takes no effort to help someone else out, it really is. All the women in the woods had to do was stop walking for 30 seconds. That's it. I hate people.

So besides that, I watched Kabluey with the S.O. and it was really funny. My Netflix movie was supposed to show on Saturday and its not here yet and I am annoyed. I made a drink from apples, pears, banana, kiwi and cacao pwder last night for today and forgot it in the fridge when I got up late this morning. I'm pretty sure bananas would be better blended than juiced, I think i just wasted half a banana by trying to juice it. Same for the kiwi. I'm starving and I really would like a cup of hot chocolate and I'm tired and boo hoo poor me. I'm four days away from my next paycheck and if I get really bored I just might buy the moccassins I want today. Oh, I should've mentioned that the cacao powder is really strong, bitter chocolate powder because, of course, its straight from the source. Its got alot of anti-oxidants and stuff and I'm going to mix it into my fruitier drinks. I think I might try to score some hot chocolate.
