To the moronic runner in the purple shirt who gave me shit at Point Plesant Park today… you’re an idiot. You yelled at me about not wanting my dogs to jump on you, which they hadn’t… You took time out of your pathetic, ugly life to stop your run, turn around and get in my face. By doing so, my little 6 month old puppy jumped on your leg to see why you were yelling in her moms face. Had you of kept running, they would have never bothered with you. You think I like going to the park to get verbally assaulted by you for no reason? My boxer-mix has better manners than you do, and probably more friends. Do you give that same lecture to every dog-owner you see there, or was it just my lucky day? You claimed it was a “people-park”… show me the sign that says “people-park”… cause I’ll show you the one that says “Off-leash Dog Park”. It must be miserable being so miserable… while being a complete idiot… idiot…

when i first moved here i was walking me ma’s dog in ppp(on leash cause he was a little shit)this jogging team runs by and the man screams in my face “keep that fucking cur away from me”…wtf …i asked if he thought he owned the park and he went off on me, cunt..bitch he yelled as his jogging partner stood watching in total amazement, i think she teamed up with someone else after that…i think he was a run of the mill asshole not a running asshole
Yeah, I’ve seen runners lose it when little old ladies get in their way while running through PPP. Assholes.
wow, remind me not to go to ppp.
sounds like that’s where the idiots go to congregate.
You’re the “mom” of a puppy?
Doesn’t that by definition make you a . . .
Hmmm … as Judge Judy says, “when something deosn’t make sense, it’s usually not true”. And this bitch certainly doesn’t – why would the runner be so agitated if you were simply walking by with your dogs, perfectly behaved, minding their/your own business? Something tells me that your dog got in his way/jumped on/ scared him and this is what set him off. As a runner I am sick and tired of unruly dogs all over the park – OP can you please show me this alleged “sign” which says its a dog park? Cus that doesn’t fucking exist. There are off leash AREAS and some of them are only off leash certain hours of the day. Learn to read. Every time I am there I see dogs off leash where they shouldn’t be- if the dog is well behaved and doesn’t interefere with my enjoyment of the park (which we runners are entitled to as well, btw) then I wouldn’t dream of taking the time to say something. But if some idiot has there hyper active dogs running all over and jumping on people, you bet your ass I would say something too!
well judge judy who am i to argue…sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and sometimes an asshole is just that, they don’t need a reason and asshole runners are like any other arse
fuckin mostg runners are assholes anyways thinking they own the sidewalks and shit at 5 pm running throu downtownb scowling at people – fuck em i say trip em over and tell em to fuck off – as for dog parks i say any park is a dog park if your dog is cool and you are by cleaning up after them . nuff said runners people and dogs are part of canadian culture if they don’t like it – the plane flys both ways to whatever fuck in the ass country thery came from and noones stopping them from getting on and leaving .
totally agree with hella kitty, as i am a frequent runner in PPP and dog owners are so irresponsible with their dogs! their dogs are every which way except by their owner, getting in the way of people, coming right up to you. was on my bike and hit a dog bc it was loose in a leash area (dog was ok). dog owners, please keep an eye on your dog and be courteous to other people in the park. i love dogs, hate their owners!
Your dog is not your child. You are not your dog’s mother. Your dog has a mother, a female dog. Your dog probably feels submission and loyalty to you, but it does not believe you are its mother. It really annoys me when people give human feelings to their pets.
Yeah, well I still saw runners get PO’d because little old ladies were standing in the middle of the trail having a chit chat. douches.
is it that hard to move over out of courtesy?
You refer to yourself as your dogs mom?
That’s really creepy.
I’ve always referred to myself as the “mother” of my dogs. I may not have birthed them in the traditional way, but I feed them, play with them, pay for them, bath them, take care of them, etc etc etc….I may not be their REAL mother but that bitch isn’t doin her job, so someone’s gotta!
Most runners are total jerks, I was at ppp this summer with my mother who is overweight and has osteoarthritis SP? so she a slow movin lady, but out trying to get some exercise none the less, and was shocked at the disgusting looks and snarls from runners. Just because you live on tofu and greens and jog so much even your spandex is baggy, does not make you better than my mother or anyone else.
Another time this summer, I was going to Shakespear by the Sea with my 90 year old grandmother and again, rudeness from runners when I asked if they could point us in the right direction, I think the response was something like “didn’t you see the signs? its back that way…huff huff how dare you interrupt my run?”
Runners can move out of the way just as much as people standing on the trails in PPP can. Run AROUND them! It’s an effin PARK! Not a personal jog run, not a personal dog park, not a personal social site. Get over yourselves! It’s for everyone to enjoy. So if someone has to move 2 feet or run around something or avoid something, do it and stop bitching! Next, they’ll be bitching at the trees, squirrels and birds for being in their way.
I don’t like unruly dogs OR jogging nazis…
In fact, I’d like to see a free-for-all battle royale between the neighbourhood pitbulls and some bear-spray-wielding jogging-addicts…i could ‘referee. with a flame-thrower…
LMAO at “…live on tofu and greens and jog so much even your spandex is baggy…” I’ve seen that! More and more…it’s like they’re so hooked on the whole weight-loss/zero body fat thing that they appear anorexic and very unhealthy…
The first baggy-spandex jogger I saw, I thought he had a load in his pants!
Running for “excercise” is stupid and unproductive anyway…unless you are chasing or being chased, what’s the point? You are wasting time and energy. Why not build a giant hamster wheel and let them generate some electricity?
Or why not make them carry a bit of mail or something for god(s)’ sake?… maybe deliver smokes and cold drinks to working men like myself who don’t have time to leap and prance through the fields and down the roads like a goddam fairy princess…
