Unpleasant couple with designer dog-awful!

[Comeonthenspring]

This morning I went to take my dog for a walk around my local lake & beauty spot. It’s a beautiful place, the sun was shining, people there are generally happy and friendly, say good morning, smile, obviously not everyone and that is fine.
There was a young couple (20’s maybe) nose in the air, looked a bit full of themselves tbh, walking a really unusual looking dog. They literally looked at my dog with disgust and pulled their dog away. Usually my dog and others dogs meet for a friendly hello. The man especially had such an awful look on his face that I said ‘Morning’ just to get him to bloody stop his face being like that and to try to get some rudeness out of him 😂 I can see it was very difficult for him to force a ‘Morning’ out, but he managed it. I walked off thinking what a bad vibe they had, but some people are like that. I walked some more then headed to pick up a takeaway coffee from the cafe there and they were in there, this man was saying to the lovely coffee guy there (often chat to him) ‘How long does it take to get a f’in coffee around here?’
The coffee server should be given a raise for how he dealt with this horrible couple, pure class, rising above it.
It bothered me all morning
Is anyone else really irked by these kind of people, especially when they think they’re better than others and treat staff like crap?
It’s my biggest pet hate, I understand life is hard and everyone might not be feeling good and we all have problems, but I strongly suspect they treat many people like this and I hope someone spits in their food one day 🤣

Whoa hang on there! You assume they have a ‘designer dog’ because it was unusual looking and then say they pulled their dog away from yours, but now you say YOU pulled your dog away. How do you know this unusual looking dog wasn’t an unusual looking mongrel? And even if it was some mixed it purebred - so what? That is reverse snobbery.
They do not sound like unpleasant people to be sure. I just imagine how awful their lives must be to be like that. But, as they say, let it go.

But you come across as really judgy too. The barista thing maybe, but you’ve had a long rant about people who did nothing to you whatsoever. Just ignore them and stop fixating.

What does their age have to do with anything?

More ageist crap.

You hope all their food gets spat on?

I hope you don’t work in a food business, OP.

What is a designer dog??

Why does everything have to be linked to autism?

But that’s really nothing to do with you. I don’t know how you can tell someone is stuck up just by how they are standing in a park. Some people don’t want to interact with strangers when they’re out and about, minding their own business.

Even If what you claim they said to the barista is true, you don’t come across as lovely as you seem to think. You’ve made a whole load judgemental assumptions based on someone’s appearance.

They irked you. That’s ok. Don’t let it spoil your day though!

You sound incredibly judgmental, OP.

I dislike designer dogs. But not for their appearance (which appears to be your issue) but for their unethical breeding and the abuse the Dam/ suffer.

They may have been rude to the barista (although you also have no idea how long they queued for and some barista are so bloody slow that I get annoyed).

Honestly, you sounds just as bad as them - snap second judgments and being nasty.

Not ageist at all, just describing them! Quite surprised for younger people to be like this normally

Well they obviously aren't stuck up if they drop the f bomb so casually like that

Sorry I dont get this - if you were so far away from them that your dog was nowhere near them how were you close enough to say morning to them?

I am genuinely not trying to be snarky here but it doesn't make sense. I agree with PP- they were arseholes to the barista clearly but them puling their dog away is not rude at all- there could be plenty of sensible reasons for them to do that. I think you are assuming that they thought your dog wasnt good enough for them or something and thats an assumption you made and not borne out by actual facts.

Agreed. How very odd. You don't come off much better here tbh OP!

Only on Mn would it end up with me being the bad one 😂
People I told irl were shocked by rude people like this

He was horrible to the barista but seriously your judgement and reaction is also unpleasant and frankly bizarrely ott.

Shocked- by what? this person didnt tell you to fuck off, they didnt verbally abuse you or assault you in public. They didnt say anything remotely offensive to you.

They even replied good morning to you. All you have described here is that you sensed a "bad vibe" and that they had a weird look on their face.

Yes, they were a bit shitty with the barista but what they said is hardly "shocking behaviour", it just comes across as general impatience to me of which you see a lot when you deal with the public.

Well, everyone on here has said they were rude to the barista. But I imagine the people you told in RL, because it was in person rather than written down, are unaware that you invented a scenario that they pulled their dog away from yours because your dog was a rescue mongrel rather than because their dog was nervy or reactive or for any other reason, or that you seem to have read frankly ridiculous amounts into their body language and expressions long before they were rude to the coffee guy.

My little fella was 'fluffy 'round the edges' Op! We would both have been very friendly to you and your lovely rescue, probably ended up having coffee all sat together . I get despondent with the human race at times too but you'll be exceptionally lucky if you don't bump into a few now and then x

I also have an arsehole dog and if a dog comes up to us (or anywhere near and it's off the lead) then I suspect that I also get a bit of 'bitch face' on, but that's because I'm wondering whether my dog will attack the other one. She'll ignore four out of five, but the fifth will get it - and there's no way of knowing where they come on her list.

Don't overthink it, OP. There are shitty people out there and lovely people and hopefully you meet more lovely ones than shitty ones.

But you don't have to interact with them do you? Just get on with your day.

Stuck up twats. But they're not making their lives better by acting and seeming this way. Very foolish.

i probably come across as rude at the end of a dog walk if lots of dogs have approached us. My dogs are friendly ( mostly) and always on lead ( crap recall) but despite me warning people that one can be reactive ( no obvious pattern) idiots still decide they know better and let their dog approach which means I need to manage my dogs reaction ( and one sets the other off) ruining a good walk. I am working on my dogs behaviour but find it rude when people don’t give me the space I ask for … you judged them from the off so could be seen as being snobby too

You seem to have deduced an awful lot about this couple following 2 brief interactions. Kicking off at the barrista sounds bad, but doesn't seem like you were witness to the full conversation.

But seriously, the rest is just your interpretation and opinion, based on their faces?

I agree that OP is being judgemental but I am curious to know why you dislike designer dogs so much? There are a lot of very good reasons to mix breeds, especially for brachycephalic dogs that have had so much inbreeding that they are now unable to breathe properly. Many other breeds could do with inserting some fresh DNA from other healthier breeds too, such as cavaliers. Their brains are often too big for their craniums these days, causing them lifelong headaches.

Being rude to the guy in the shop is obviously wrong (though, sadly, he's likely to be very used to it) but you had made up your mind about them from when you clapped eyes on them. You know absolutely nothing about them and by your reckoning that it's ok to judge people on sight, you should accept that they probably didn't much like the look of you (or your dog) either.
I don't know about autistic but you sound very immature and not entirely pleasant yourself. "To try to get some rudeness out of him" - really?
