This Person Instantly Regrets Deciding To Pet A Customer's Dog While Working When The Unexpected Happens
One pet-friendly hardware store visit turned into a moment this worker will probably never forget. A routine dog petting session quickly went sideways, and the reaction was instant.
The person at the center of the story usually greets customers' dogs without a second thought, and this one seemed just as friendly as the rest. The owner was fine with the attention, the dog was enjoying it, and everything looked normal until the unexpected happened.
Now the story has Reddit talking, and the ending is a lot messier than a simple dog encounter. Read on.
Alright, so here is the story.
More to the story as well as some edits.
Indeed, a happy ending for Steve, but maybe not for OP.
Which would be a worse situation?
Interesting fact.
By far one of the best screw-ups, and it makes for a good story.
OP was out of there, and we don't blame them.
Probably the best comment.
This is the same kind of panic as the student who ran over their own dog on the way to school.
The Reddit commenters are getting a little curious.
"Safe sax" and "jazzed."
Informative, funny, and relatable.
This would be an interesting ending.
Agreed. Something I was never afraid of when petting dogs, except now.
Steve had a good day, though.
Yeah, that's probably why.
Was it really a happy ending, though?
"Lipstick"? Oh no.
Not sure if this is something we'd like to hear over the intercom.
Some people think OP was being a little dramatic. Not gross at all.
Are they being dramatic?
I think we all figured out we are not the best at petting dogs, then.
A great TIFU. Reddit is satisfied with the story.
What did we say - you didn't see that coming, did you? It's fair to say that OP definitely has a story that many haven't heard before.
It may have been a sticky situation - no pun intended - but overall, a great TIFU, and Reddit was impressed. There was a little controversy in the comments about whether OP was being a bit dramatic or not, though.
Some of us might think twice before petting a stranger's dog now.
