Man walking his dog stops so his dog can pee, the woman walking behind him passes him, then starts acting like the man was following her: '[She's acting] like a victim in an over-acted slasher movie'

Going on a walk with your dog is one of our duties as dog owners, sure, but to us, it's also one of the most fun things ever. There's something about the interactions - us with other dog owners, our dogs seeing their doggo friends - that we really like, at least when we have the energy for it. We like running with our dogs, we like it when our dogs lead us to that one bush they found a hotdog in once during every single walk that we go on because there might be a chance another hot dog will appear there one day.

But a lot of us, here at Animal Comedy, are ladies, and we can honestly say that we didn't think about what this particular experience might be like from the perspective of a man. Until we read today's story. That changed our perspective a little, and yeah, we can truly understand both sides here.

This one… is a tough situation. Because we can understand both perspectives. As women, we have been in positions where it felt like someone was following us. Sometimes, its paranoia, and sometimes, it's not. Better err on the side of caution, right? But we can totally see how it would feel unfair to the man on the other side - who is legitimately innocent and not deserving of our fear.

It seems that the people of the internet are split on this issue. What about you guys? What do you think? Did this woman overreact or was her reaction appropriate for the situation?
