A favorite on /r/askreddit, or at least it seems that way to me.
I only have one, and it’s not very entertaining.
I was on a bus going to work. A few stops before mine the bus gets cut off by another bus. The driver started yelling at the other driver then pulled over and got out of the bus to, I assume, escalate the conflict. We were near my stop anyway, so I got off before things could get hairy.
Hinting was a generous use of the word. I kept walking backwards and turning to keep the dog from my crotch and she just kept droning on about her bullshit.
Thats still hinting. Just say: “hey i dont like big dogs and its makeing me uncomfortabel, can you please keep them away from me?”
This has the added benefit, that if they dont keep him away after 2-3 min you can just double down and say “Sorry your dog is unbearable and i am going to leave.”
Think about that suggestion the next time a woman tells you how somebody made her uncomfortable. Just tell him. No bother.
Not the same thing. If a creep is called out on his behavior, he may escalate. If the owner, likely oblivious, is called out on her dogs behavior, she’ll either stop it or continue to ignore it, she’s not going to make the dog attack him.
