Man Tells GF's Family To Pack Their Things And GTFO After Tying Up His Dog
Some house rules are simple until a guest decides they do not apply to them. In this Reddit story, one man says his girlfriend's family crossed a line the moment they tied up his dog inside his own home.
He explains that his girlfriend has never lived with an indoor dog like Boots, and that tension turned into a bigger problem when her parents got involved. After finding Boots missing one morning, he learned what they had done and told them to pack up and leave.
Now the Reddit comments are weighing in, and the reaction is just as blunt as the original post. Read on.
Here's the original Reddit post by u/Comfortable-Ad7073:
OP's girlfriend has never had an "indoor" dog like Boots.
He noticed one morning that Boots was nowhere to be seen.
That is where the situation really started to unravel.
OP could not tolerate what his girlfriend's family did, so he kicked them out.
Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/Comfortable-Ad7073's post:
This commenter thinks the dog was treated badly for no reason.
Why even tie him up in the first place?
They did not respect OP's house rules.
Mistreating your dog is crossing the line.
Another reaction says the family went too far.
They wanted to "prove a point" by tying him up.
"The homeless audacious family"
What they did is disrespectful.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
People kept circling back to the same point, this was his home and his dog.
This is similar to the service dog owner who triggered a friend’s nut allergy after they banned dogs.
OP's reaction hopefully taught them some respect.
People think they can come in and just change things.
Your home, your dog, your rules.
"Large dogs who patrol the property are treated just like the other farm animals."
Dogs are family members and should be treated accordingly.
They failed to meet the minimum standards.
What they did is even illegal in some states.
It's his home, and they are guests.
What they did is borderline abuse.
OP's girlfriend is an a-hole for allowing it to happen.
The fact that Mariah allowed it speaks volumes.
They disrespected OP and his house rules.
They did it out of spite.
He taught them a valuable lesson.
OP needs to reevaluate his relationship with Mariah.
Who are all these ridiculously entitled people?
They have to be supervised.
Who even ties up another person's dog?
OP's rules take precedence.
The girlfriend's family did not respect OP's house rules and disrespected him by tying up his dog. He had every right to kick them out of his home since they didn't respect one of his family members and mistreated him.
OP is definitely not the a-hole in this situation; the family took it too far by tying Boots. They could have simply led him outside and allowed him to hang out, but instead, they chose to limit his movement and tie him up.
It's completely unacceptable, and they could have at least apologized for their actions.
