Some of you reading this are complete assholes

I am scared of dogs. Didn’t ask to be, but I am. Now that it’s winter I have to completely avoid HVK park because you illiterate assholes can’t follow the rules. Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean now you can let your dogs run around off leash. In fact, it’s the damage that dogs do to the lawn in the offseason that fucks everything up for the spring and summer.

The anxiety that I immediately feel when I want to take a stroll through the park, or use it to cut across to my destination or ENJOY THE SNOW and see a bunch of dogs running around all over the place is absolutely and completely unfair. You guys are assholes, and your dog doesn’t deserve more freedom and comfort than I do - especially when there’s a fucking dog park like 20 feet away.

Lastly, I carry pepper spray. I don’t give a fuck how nice you think Fido is, I am well within my right to spray an off leash dog that charges at me regardless of whether you were convinced they “just wanted to say hi”. I’ve avoided using it up until now, but this has gotten truly ridiculous and is completely compromising my quality of life. Why do I deserve to be terrified all the time just because you have a dog you refuse to exercise in the appropriate places?
