What would you do?

We can't control other people. No matter if it's a parent, friend, neighbor, employee, or even our own kid, we can't control others. We can express our needs or how we feel, but at the end of the day people will behave how they want to behave. Take it from Reddit, where two neighbors have a spat about their dogs. One day, they're both out walking their respective dogs when the dogs get into a bit of a tiff. The man ends up with stiches on his hand because of trying to get between the dogs, but he doesn't do anything about it (accidents happen). Fast forward and he's out walking his dog and passes her yard, where she's outside. She starts yelling for him to go over so they can talk. She comes to the middle of the street where he is and tells him they need to talk about the dogs. She says, "we need to work out a time when you're walking." He doesn't want to be involved and thinks the whole situation is blown out of proportion. He doesn't feel responsible or that he should have to text her, and many of the comments agree with him. He doesn't even want to take her number! She is persistent, but he sticks to his values and walks his dog when he pleases. Read the full story below for all the details.

  • Some people's sense of being entitled goes beyond them. This woman seems like a real Karen, because it's insane to expect your neighbor to coordinate with you about when they're walking their dog. What does she think is going to happen? Does she want the control to be able to tell him yes or no about walking his own dog? It would anger me so much if I was in his position. We work things out with people in our lives, like our partners, friends, coworkers, or family. Telling your neighbor when you're walking your dog is just ridiculous and dramatic.

    Particular Title42 NTA. That's completely unreasonable. She needs to secure her dog.

    It's not your job or responsibility to contact your neighbor every time you want to walk your dog.

  • This reminds me of a woman who used to live in my building. She would try to get everyone to agree on a time when we couldn't enter the building, like a curfew!
