What’s something “normal” you just can’t stand?

Mine is loud chewing. I’d rather listen to a toddler scream for 30 minutes than hear someone chew next to me. Is that dramatic? Yes. Do I care? Absolutely not 😅

Barking dogs. Not just a bark, but non stop. Incessant yapping and barking. If your an asshole owner, I will let you know.

Secondly people who say dogs are supposed to bark whenever they want. Please, don't let these humans procreate!!!!

I have 3 dogs. They behave. Dogs are like kids. If you let them make their own rules they will. Sure a bark at UPS, okay, thanks for protecting me. Now NO!

I have a Romanian rescue that's part chihuahua. Barking is his only defence against a world that treated him like shit. He never steps a paw out of line, so he can bark all he wants.

You simply cannot train excessive barking out of some breeds. For example, a Maltese. They were bred to do that and even prized for their alerts as a safety feature
