Which group is more annoying?

This topic is humorous. It points out how thin skinned people really are. If they disagree with the OP they feel the need to lash out and name call.

Just say none of those bother me. You don’t need to defend yourself. You are making the OP more valid.

The question assumes that they are annoying and the fact that there's several pages of grumbling attests to how quick people are to judge nowadays. I haven't read but the first few posts but the thing just keeps feeding on itself.

There was an excellent editorial in the NY Times by David Brooks yesterday or the day before about this very topic, how we need to listen more and not be so judgemental. I would really encourage anyone to read it and i would link to it here but it may require a subscription to view it.

Yes, you are right that I'm quick to judge.

Dog owners who let their "family members" crap all over the sidewalks are a nuisance to society, and they should be judged by their actions.

I adopt dogs and cats to return them to their natural state of living in the wild. It's cruel that we keep animals for our own pleasure. I set them free to live in the wild the way nature intended.

To become lunch for more worthy creatures!!

Dogs are cool. People that refer to dogs as part of the family or celebrate a dogs birthday or dress their dogs in human clothing or put pictures of their dogs on social media are weirdos.

My post makes perfect sense. Poor people are the ones who don’t bother to train their dogs (or discipline their kids, for that matter). If you don’t want to be chased by pit bulls (or have your windows broken by teens), just don’t live near poor people.

Don't mind dog owners in general, but the ones who let their dogs off-leash and tell you how "friendly" they are as they charge towards you are the worst. And there are a large number of those in the SF Bay Area.

I would expand this to all beer drinkers who try to push their preferences on others. The "my Budweiser is just as good as your fancy craft beer and you're an idiot for paying more" crowd is just as annoying as the dude who insists on discussing hops varieties with people who aren't interested.

Yeewwwwww. I embody all three of OPs traits.

1. Not sure which I love more. My wife or my dog. And I sure do love my wife.

2. I'll take a mean cup of single origin Hawaiian brewed with an aeropress, everyday. (I already do)

3. Lawrd there is something so satisfying about fresh suds from the brewery. That deep flavor and experience.

And if I want them all at once? I take my dog XC skiing with me, stop at the brewery on the way home, and drink a coffee porter with that guy while watching bad tv.

First, I love John Clendon's response--but I bet it's not quite accurate. I bet, although he's an admitted coffee snob, he'll mention every once in a while and where relevant in conversation that he has particular tastes in beans and brewing method. And, although he loves craft (or micro) beer, he'll explain to someone with stated interest in the topic the virtues of his robust coffee porter before deftly changing the topic to something more universally regarded as interesting.

You see, these "types" that Judge Judy identifies aren't really groups of people you or I interact with en masse. I guess if enough people know one person of each type, there must be a category of people like this. But nobody knows more than one or two people who rave about their dogs; or talks condescendingly about coffee; or babbles endlessly about beer. And I bet that you know so few of these sorts of people that the more humane and decent response to them is to either celebrate their passion for whatever it is that energizes them or to cut them out of your life because you can't stand their fascination with their interests coupled with a possible inability to interact deftly with others.

But this response--to create entire types of people for whom you reserve special resentment? That just seems like an absurd use of mental energy. We all know eccentric, passionate types who aren't quite able to calibrate their enthusiasm to the relative interest-level of those round them. I'm sorry you're so bothered by these folks in your life. I hope you can find peace.

Dogs are pack animals. Everyone in your household is part of their pack. If your dog is not trained and misbehaves all the time, that means they think that they are the Alpha, aka Leader of the Pack. If you have a well trained dog that follows your commands, then you are the Alpha, the Leader of the Pack. Some dogs listen to one owner but not another, which means they respect the Alpha, but put themselves above all others.

It is a falacy that humans think that their dog is part of their family. The truth is that dogs think of you as another dog, part of the pack.

I have no problems with dogs or people who own dogs (though, admittedly, the whole pretending it's a family member is odd) but I just don't get the appeal of owning a dog. Actually, I don't really understand owning cats or any other animals either.

When you come home at the end of a day, your dog will greet you at the front door as if you are the most wonderful person in the world.

When I would come back from a business trip, my first wife's reaction was no different than if I was coming back in from taking out the trash.

What you say is true.

Lock your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car for 30 minutes. When you finally open the trunk, who is happy to see you? The dog.
