We will never understand people's obsession with petting service dogs. We are probably the most dog-obsessed person on the planet - we literally go out of our way to ask to pet strangers' dogs, but we know that as much as we want to, service puppers are off limits. They're working! Would you randomly go up to a person working and ask if you can pet them? No! So why would you do it to a working doggo? The audacity of some people.

Well, this Karen mom just wouldn't take no for an answer. Her daughter wanted to pet a group of four service dogs, to which the handlers said 'No, they're working', which set off this entitled woman into a temper tantrum. Despite the dogs each having vests on that clearly say "DO NOT PET", and multiple signs on their leashes that label them as "in training" this woman still insisted that that wasn't enough warning. She then threatens to call the cops and "her lawyer", which is honestly the silliest thing we've ever heard. Watch the whole video below!

  • People need to understand that it's okay to be wrong. We have a sneaking suspicion this whole thing happened because she didn't like being told that what she was doing was wrong. It's okay to make mistakes! Own up to them, apologize, and grow as a hooman being. This is how we teach our children to behave better.

    Choice-giraffe- She was clearly just embarrassed at being told 'nof and this is how she's responded - completely disproportionately.

    guleedy Again i will always say this. When people default to "you couldve said it nicer" or "your being ride" its always because they did something wrong and dont want to admit fault

    [deleted] It is amazing how something that you thought was common knowledge, isn't for some. Service animals when working are NEVER to be interacted with. I'm in my 40's and I've always known this.

    pianomasian Is this what society has come to? Doubling and tripling down when you're so clearly in the wrong it hurts. People like that are a cancer on society and shouldn't raise kids. The world

    back. He had a vest that said "service dog" and people would come up and try to pet him, even if she said he was not a pet and was working or if he was with me and say, "okay now I can pet him." Ummm nooooo He's working. He knows me, not you.
