I don’t mind dogs per se but annoys me how some people have to bring them fucking everywhere. f**k having dogs in work. If you want to have a dog then you should pay for them to be walked or go somewhere during the day much like people who have kids do. People in my office asking to work from home so they can look after their dog is a nonsense. 
 

whilst I am on my high horse, I also don’t understand people who bring their dogs to hotels.

I find it mental tbh. Imagine a bunch of wee kids sitting in the corner at the office. When we went back to the office there was someone actually left because she’d bought a dog in lockdown and now had to go into the office two days a week. 

I don’t mind dogs either but they also shouldn’t be in a restaurant. Was in Stravaigin in Glasgow recently and there were a few dogs in, found it very weird tbh. Dog owners are very entitled generally.

Why not?  It's not like they're in your room.

We had a conversation about dogs yesterday where someone mentioned that they'd seen a dog wearing shoes to protect their paws on the cold ground at this time of year. A woman said that some people go a bit over the top when it comes to pets. Just before Christmas, she wore a jumper with a pic of her dog on it to work. I was pissing myself laughing at her double standards and she (genuinely) didn't realise.

It could be that the dog has a neurological condition which cause it not to lift its feet properly (pugs are bad for this) and the shoes are on so that it doesn’t tear up its feet.

My wife and kids are allergic to them. Plus they bark and a lot of them stink. It’s fine if hotels have dedicated floors for people with dogs but a lot of hotels don’t seperate out so it causes issues relating to the first point 

I love my kids dearly but any chance to get a child free night away is glorious. Don’t know why people don’t do the same with dogs

I'm sure the dogs would soon get used to it.

My wife was going a bit mad with one this morning, but I appreciate the effort. 

The internet was down in her office most of the morning. 12 pm comes and goes, no internet. No work getting done. The wife breaks out her packed lunch and gets stuck in. Her office mate turns to her and says "Not me. I'll take my lunch when the internet is back up."

I was at a travelodge that started allowing dogs. There's a bin just outside the front door that  stinks of dogshit. So it smells of shit on the way in and on the way out. Travelodge feels budget enough without adding the stink of dogshit into the mix.

I've started a job with three Fifers who all support Celtic and don't seem to know much about the rest of Scottish football. Wish me luck.

That reads to me that they probably don’t ever go to any matches. Or they only watch the “big games against Them”

Or the usual type of response “ma da was a Sellic man, so wiz ma granda. So that’s how I’m a Sellic supporter!”

”but what about your mothers side?”

”aw naw they’re aw proddies!”

Eh good luck.

Just wind them up by knowing more about their team and history than they.

The Prof has been ploughing his wife the entire time, whilst he’s doing late nights at the office to keep up with the extra workload from the work passed to him.

I used to work as a freelance programmer.   I'd gone freelance to earn much more money, and to stay away from office politics. 

One place I worked at, there was a guy that everyone referred to as TC.  "Better ask TC about that"...,  "Where's TC ?"..., etc.   His actual name was Bernie. He seemed a reasonably amicable individual, so I assumed it was something like an in-house humorous reference to Top Cat.

Many weeks in, I asked someone what the TC was all about. 

'That C*nt' was the reply.

I didn't take my questions any further.

A Security Guard, Police  Officer or a Farmer might have reason to have a dog at work. Blind people could have a concession but the rest can forget it. It's bad enough on Teams with clowns showing you their stupid fucking pets, without bringing in to a workplace. They should be made to tie them to a fence outside.

I'm a forester, I'm I allowed?
