Frightened

[IveGotToGoToMeDads]

Just been into the local cemetery walking my dog, and felt uneasy about a man who seemed to be watching me.
He went to one grave down the bottom of the hill, went to another all while watching me, he didn't have any flowers or nothing for anyones grave. He appeared to be talking to himself.
He slowly made his way up towards the hill towards me, at this point my back where to him. I felt really uneasy, so faced towards him and he was staring at me and I felt really intimidated he stopped at another grave and then faced me again staring. I felt is was not quite right and my gut instincted was going, so I decided to abandon my walk with the dog and run back to the car. Got in the car and locked myself in and come back home.

@LemonyFace it was 9 years ago, he has never bitten anyone since.

This. I'm a dog owner and when I was trying to find a grave and I had my dogs with me I felt very conscious of my dogs being in a graveyard. I felt very uncomfortable with the fact my dogs might wee where someone was buried. It just felt disrespectful to me.

I don't like seeing dogs in cemeteries. I'm sure they're not allowed in crematoriums, only service dogs

Was he a ghost and looking for his grave?

Yeah, how do you clear that up???

@QueenCamilla my dog has never & would never wee up anyones grave. We're not there to be disrespectful at all.

This has to be a wind up now. Chances are he was staring because you kept shiftily glancing at him while your dog peed on a tree.

@LemonyFace he has never and would never wee up the gravestones.

Your dog would never wee on gravestones? Such a disciplined animal!

"my dog has never & would never wee up anyones grave. We're not there to be disrespectful at all."

You've admitted you clear up the mess he makes in the graveyard.

A graveyard is not the place for a dog so his presence alone is disrespectful.

What a bizarre thing to say!
Was he implying that you were ''soliciting''?
Men!

I was once in Villefranche sur mer, and asked an American Navy chap at a Burger stall if he knew where the ''Hotel Welcome'' was. {Because it was where Jean Cocteau used to stay}

The cheeky burger stall owner implied that I was ''soliciting''!

Er...what...with my 7 yr old son with me?

The American told us of a trip available for the public to his ship moored in the deep bay. Very interesting.

Is he supposed to know your animal's bowel&bladder habits??
You ARE being disrespectful by bringing your dog to toilet in a cemetery. But it doesn't seem to bother you or your friends... 🤷 What a bunch...

"What a bizarre thing to say!

Men!"

Soliciting? 🤣 He'll have been referring to youths sitting drinking on the benches. Obviously pp was 40 but he must've assumed she looked younger.

Youths and dogs are the two main problems at our local cemeteries.

I assumed that this was a ghost thread! Yes I would be unnerved by him (alive or ghost).

Also, can’t see what anyone’s issue is with dog walking in a cemetery. It’s a quiet space and as long as you’re doing it quietly, it shouldn’t bother anyone. I say that as someone who doesn’t even particularly like dogs.

@Loub1987 exactly thank you.

In our local it's crack-whoring and dog owners that are the problem. The types that don't give a crap of decent behaviour.

@QueenCamilla my dogs mess is cleaned up at all times.

Because dogs like to sniff, and if that's the only place that the OP walks her dog then it's going to be sniffing, weeing and pooing on people's graves or on the paths. It's boring for the dog doing the same walk every day and it's disrespectful to people visiting the graves of loved ones.

Go with your gut.
That instinct is there for a reason.

There are people who bring dogs to our 'Family' Cemetery - but kept on leads.
They are visiting their loved one's nearby Graves.

@ItWasOnAStarryNight I never said I was shiftly glancing at him.
Glancing yes.

Fuck sake, you're disrespectful the very moment you bring your dogs anus to toilet in a graveyard!

Carry on your filthy habits but don't be surprised when someone stares you out.

@oakleaffy aww thats lovely.

@QueenCamilla not everyone thinks the same as you.
Alot of people are okay with dogs in cemetaries.
