Today, I was called a "disabled buzzkill" for not letting someone pet my service dog. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, I was so happy to finally get my disabled parking badge but I was not prepared for the abuse from members of the public because I don’t "look disabled." Just this morning a woman refused to believe I have a prosthetic foot, and tried to make me pull up my pant leg to show her. FML

Today, as I was getting out of my car, an old and obese lady walked up to me and called me an "inconsiderate heartless bitch" for using the last handicap parking spot. I guess she didn't see my wheelchair. FML

Panic attack
Today, I was shopping when I got charged at by a really big dog, causing me to panic and fall. The store won’t do anything because the cunt of an owner lied and said it’s her “service dog.” FML

Thanks you for your service
Today, I’ve been threatened with a lawsuit for refusing to treat a patient. I had to refuse her because she brought a huge hairy dog with her that she falsely claimed was her service animal. Not only am I deathly allergic to dogs, the damn thing shat in my waiting room. FML

Today, I was called an assortment of names and was almost followed home by a crazy bitch. Why? Because I stated that it was unsanitary for her to bring her dog to a grocery store. She clearly disagreed. FML

Hello Alanis ? We've got something for you.
Today, two people at work - both higher up than me - called me out for "stomping" when I walk up stairs. I have a disability that causes this. We work at a place specifically for disabled people. FML

Today, after telling my boss that trailing a hand up someone's leg and leering at them constantly is counted as sexual harassment, I got called an "unappreciative little whiny bitch." FML

Today, I got told I am not a good fit for a company because I'm disabled. But that's OK, I can volunteer for the same role, as I don't really need to work anyway, because I'm disabled apparently. FML

Today, I parked in a "Disabled" space. A woman and her kids comes yelling at me about how I don't look disabled and I was just being selfish. I roll my pants up to reveal two prosthetic legs. She then yells at me that I should have warned her before showing my legs since it could scare her kids. FML

Today, I had to go to a boring, never-ending "sensitivity training" session, all because my douchebag coworker filed a complaint against me last week after I apologized for being tardy. Apparently I was insulting people with mental disorders. Or as she put it, "differently-abled" people. FML

That person does not deserve to pat the awesomeness that is a service dog, even when the dog is off duty.

So irrelevant. Nobody is obligated to let someone pat their dog.

Was there anything on the dog that said “Service Dog-Do Not Pet”?

Service dogs typically have a vest on when they're working. Even if that wasn't the case this time, a pet owner has every right to tell people not to touch their animal.

Correction: the ones you NOTICED typically have vests on.

Your dog was on duty and working. You don't just pet someone when they're working.

People are idiots. You're not supposed to pet them when they're working.

hi! may i know why? we dont have service dogs where i'm at

The dog's attention needs to be on their owner and the surrounding to be prepared for something that may trigger (emotionally or physically) their owner or to respond quickly if something begins to happen with their owner. Petting the dog is a distraction.

If you dont want to let people pet your dog then dont get one. All dogs deserve to be petted!

I’ll handle the petting of the dog...don’t touch other people’s belongings, children, or pets without permission

Working dogs don’t get petted when on duty, but they get extra when off duty.

Yeah, OP. If you didn't want to have to use a service dog, then you shouldn't have gotten disabled in the first place. Gosh, some people are so inconsiderate.

"All dogs deserve to be petted!" Yes, they do. By people they are comfortable being petted by. I'm not going to force my dogs to let someone pet them if she's trying to back away. That's just cruel. And anyone who tries to pet my dachshund without her permission is likely to lose a finger. She does not like to be handled by anyone other than family and one specific vet tech.

I'm so sorry op some people don't understand that a service dog is meant to help the owner my cousin little girl has one as she has epilepsy and could have a seizure during classes I be pissed if someone called her that

Don't let it get to you, OP. That person is just an idiot. They need to realize that a service dog is not the same thing as a pet dog.

At least they didn't say cripple buzzkill. That would have been offensive.

I feel your pain. This best people are the ones who read my ‘working: do not pet’ patch out loud and STILL try to pet.
