A lot of people kiss their pets or non-human animals in general. I find that very weird. I understand that it is a sign of affection but it seems so off. One reason is that I doubt whether animals really understand this. Also it seems to be on a level of intimacy to me that I find weird sharing with a pet. Not necessarily romantically or sexually (that would be even more weird and wrong and probably illegal). But it is still “more”. I am not sure whether I can really explain why exactly I find that weird.
Anyway, what is something that is weird to you but not to most other people?
Apparently they love animals …with HP sauce.
Was leaving a supermarket, when a chugger/chunt asked for donations for an animal charity. Given my hands were full of heavy shopping, I just wanted to get back to the car, so I declined.
In what he must’ve thought was a witty moment, he said, “Don’t you like animals?”
To which I repiled, “Only with tomato sauce!”
(My wife and I had at the time two cats who lived to 15 and 16 years respectively, and who we thought of as family. We have a rescue cat now (only a few years old, we think), and we think of her as family, too. She’s a handful, as we’re a little older, but we love her, too. No tomato sauce!)
I hate it when cats get in my tomato sauce. Good response though
I think trying to deflect with “humor” is making it worse.
