      Sometimes most people are wrong about something. That doesn’t make them assholes, or mean there’s anything wrong with OP. Our culture is imperfect.

        He’s referring to the adage that “If everyone you meet is an asshole, you’re the asshole.”

          And I’m doubting the usefulness of that adage in cases where it really is society that’s wrong.

        All, I’m doing is pointing out the perspective and suggesting OP actually do some introspection on their stance with the understanding they may be wrong.

          I don’t understand how my personal experience can be wrong. I simply said “most dogs I’ve met”. This includes neighbours dogs, dogs I’ve come across on the street, acquaintances, friends, family. At a certain point, the argument that everyone I know is an asshole falls apart, cause I’m not only talking about people I know personally.

          It’s a societal issue where dogs are seen as doing no wrong and everyone is encouraged to get one. But most people shouldn’t even have one. I’m starting to think that all these triggered people in the comments are shitty dog owners. What other reason would there be to react so harshly to my personal opinion/experience.

            You are correct. Intelligent dog owners would agree with you. Shitty dog owners take offense.

      Or most dog owners are just terrible at training their dogs…

      Are you saying that everyone who doesn’t properly train their dog is an asshole?

        Nah, I’m saying if everyone you meet is an asshole, it most likely means you are the asshole.
