Me and my girlfriend live next to an old couple that are very nosy and like to start arguments for no reason at all. This morning I took our dog out for a walk and we pass by the neighbors house everytime we go for walk, they live on the corner so the street sign is in front of their house.
Everytime our dog pees on it when we walk by and this morning after he did I hear their front door open and they both come out and the husband approaches me and asks how I’m doing I say I’m good and at this point he is standing very close and it feels very aggressive and he says ‘I like that dog. this street sign is not for your dog to pee on’.
Our dog has recently been having an issue about peeing in the house so whenever he needs to pee we let him go cause if we interrupt him then he won’t pee at all but we never let him go on other peoples lawns.
Anyways I tell him that I can’t control when he has to go pee and he said ‘you can control it, you just keep walking’ at this point I’m angry because this is not the first negative interaction we have had with him so I tell him we’re gonna keep walking now and I walk away and as I’m walking he says ‘that’s very rude of you, I shouldn’t have to clean up after you’ I just keep walking.
I make it all the way around the cul de sac to the other side of the street and he yells from his yard ‘so from now on can you just keep walking?’ I still ignore him and he says ‘you don’t have to be rude we can have a polite conversation’ I still ignore him and he gets angry and says ‘fuck you, next time I’m calling animal control’.
Like I said this isn’t the first negative interaction we have had with him and my girlfriend gets upset when I try to argue back with him so I just decided to stay silent this time cause I would have nothing nice to say and the fact that he was stood so close just felt like a power move or something.
AITA?
