She was strangling that poor dog! Why own a pet if you cannot treat with kindness and respect? It's not surprising that she cannot treat other humans with respect.

4. I just don't get why people can be such assholes about minor stuff

like having a dog off a leash - and continue to be assholes when they are being recorded being assholes.
When the guy asked her to put her dog back on the leash, why didn't she just either do that or leave the park? She might have been annoyed, but if she'd just let it go she wouldn't have been exposed to the whole world as an asshole and wouldn't have put her very good job in jeopardy by being an asshole, or had to surrender her dog because the shelter doesn't want to give dogs to assholes.

Jesus Amy. You deserve every bad thing that is about to happen to you. Your life as you have known it is over. Kiss FTI and dog ownership goodbye. Prepare for new experiences.

But there are soup kitchens in Manhattan to tide you over until your first check comes in.

And I am glad that poor dog has been taken away from her. It's very clear that she does not have it's best interests at heart.

11. Even if she gets out of it, she will have a bitter, resentful, warped life. May she never have a pet

12. This is so much better than the pre-internet days when people ALWAYS got away with bigotry.

Now, at least sometimes they don't get away with it. Good riddance. Any company with bigoted employees knows to drop that toxicity right off the bat. There are people who know how to act right that they can hire. They are better off for it too.
