(115,280 posts)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.
