I'm so glad I found this podcast this morning. HAVE I GOT A STORY FOR YOU. My boyfriend (Jon) and I were getting ready for work this morning and we have a 6 month-old kitten that just likes to see everything we're doing in the morning. So Jon is trying to pee and the kitten likes to literally look into the toilet bowl while Jon is peeing, so if Jon forgets to close the bathroom door, he has to like hold his foot out while peeing so the kitten doesn't get sprayed with piss. I was walking out the door to leave and I hear Jon scream "OH NO, OH GOD, OH DEAR GOOOOOD!" And I'm freaking out because I'm thinking "Oh holy shit the cat just died," but NO. (Not that I'm mad the cat didn't die, it's just that what happened was so fucking awful.) The fucking kitten tried to perch on the toilet bowl while Jon was peeing and FUCKING FELL INTO THE TOILET BOWL WITH JON'S PISS IN IT AND THEN HE RAN AROUND THE ENTIRE FUCKING HOUSE LIKE A FUCKING LUNATIC SO THERE'S PISS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE THAT I HAVE TO CLEAN UP WHEN I GET HOME. Fuck that cat. No but I love him a lot and he's cute.
I had this happen, but it was less horrible because there wasn't pee in the toilet bowl at the time. My roommate's stupid horrible boyfriend had this kitten he completely neglected. She was sweet and loving, but a little dumb and rambunctious, so he just didn't feed her or change her litterbox or let her into the room he shared with my roommate. The result was that she bonded to me. Anyway, this dummy liked to explore my bathroom when my boyfriend and I were getting ready in the morning and the toilet lid was usually up because (? I'm not even sure there was a lid on that toilet). One day, one of us commented to the other that she would almost certainly fall in. The next day, she did. She then did exactly as your kitten did and ran all over the apartment, dripping toilet water. We could not stop laughing.
That's LMFB I feel like chaotic bad is Marble because he’s an asshole, chaotic good is peach because she’s the sweet happy one, and Kerm is chaotic neutral because he can be good if he needs to be, he’s just a nervous guy 😂
So my dog likes to sleep on towels, pillows and anything left on the floor. She hates sleeping on couches and won't make a noise so you will forget where she is and accidentally shut her in a room cause she's small. One day we couldn't find her and I was looking everywhere cause she is fucking weird and likes to do stupid things like tries to lay in the middle of the road outside our house or she'll paw at the electrical wires like I swear she has a fucking death wish. so I'm trying to find her and all the sudden I hear movement in my closet and she basically pulled pillows and blankets into a corner in my closet and made a nest. It's now like her official space since she'll cry if she can't sleep there and it's complete with a hanging pillowcase as the door. It's also the #1 place to find missing shirts that she thought would make it more comfy. She's like my little hoarder
I have a dachshund that makes nests of like dirty clothes from my hamper or if my blanket falls on the floor she adds it to her nest. and thats also where I find mounds of chewed in half underwear. and when she gets caught she just burrows with her nose to hide in said nest.
My dog thinks she's a cat. Like she's grown up with 3 cats and I rescued her as a puppy because her mom got hit by a car. So it's understandable since she hasn't really been around dogs as much as most have (like yeah I socialized her but I had to get her shots and make sure she was spayed and stuff first so she GREW UP with cats) and she perches I nth top of the couch, she hides in the little tunnels I have for my cats and she headbutts me because I guess she's learned that that means she loves me from the cats and like she'll get pets. One time when she was a puppy she tried to get up on the cat tree but got scared when it shook because she's so much heavier than the cats. And when she's playing she'll use her paws more than her mouth and it's so cute. I love her.
My syrian hamster Willow is an escape artist. She lives in a 40 gallon glass tank, so there's literally a 90 degree angle glass wall that I thought was impossible to scale. I thought wrong. One night I woke up to a crawling feeling on my shoulder and realized Wil was nestling into the crook of my neck. I turn my head to look at her and she just looks up at me like "oh hi mom" and then curls up and tries to go to sleep. I'm like what the hell?! I put her back in her cage, stole the nightlight from the hallway and set it up by her for observation. I watched her for a couple minutes, and sure enough she eventually showed me how she escaped. This bitch was scaling the back of her 12" vertical wheel - a STANDALONE wheel, not one that was against the wall of the tank - getting herself to the topmost part of it, and then leaping a good 5-6" over (she was a baby, about 4" long at the time) and 4" upwards (16" tall cage) to the tank's edge. Then she just suicided off the tank and fell onto the carpet. Flabbergasted, I watch her scurry over to my bed, fucking Spider-Man up the wall with her back against my bedpost and her paws scurrying up the wall, then she just casually sauntered over my sheets like she was a hot shit and climbed over to me, up my shirt, and back to my neck. Then tried to go to sleep again. On the one hand, shes cost me a fortune in getting her a taller tank and a lid for it, and an expensive wheel she couldn't climb. But on the other hand, it's good to know that when my little Willow escapes, it's to come find her momma 😍
Omg ik this is an old comment but I have a hamster that is fucking magic and has escaped so many times. My other one couldn't figure out how to drink from his water bottle for a few weeks so one is hella smart and is always running around and trying to escape and the other just sits around like he's having the deepest thoughts
My rabbit Roland is so damn picky about his vegetables. For most of his life he got romaine lettuce and celery, wouldn't eat cucumbers or peppers or anything else we'd try to give him. Occasionally he'd nibble on a green apple or carrot but overall it was Roland and romaine forever. One day I introduced him to kale and then it was all kale all the time and he wouldn't touch anything else. A month or so ago my work was getting rid of some bok choy and so I brought it home to him and he freaked out he loved it so much. So of course after that he would be picky about the kale, like he'd eat it eventually but was all sulky about it. Recently I got a deal on bok choy and was so excited to bring it home to him and see him be all happy over it. Fucker has had like three bites in two days. Bastard.
the bag thing bothered me cause they have to ask how many bags you want cause there's tons of people who will complain WHEN THEY GET BAGS and complain about TEN CENTS so we have to ask everyone and make sure they don't care
One of the dogs I used to have had a really nervous bladder. She would piss all over herself every time someone new walked in the room. One time the tv made a loud noise and she pissed herself.
OH MY GOD YES PEOPLE NOT HAVING THEIR DOGS ON LEASHES!!!! I have a little dog she's a Westie and I adopted her she was a small little puppy she was like 6 months at the time maybe and I walk her to this spot that I know all the positive great dog people hang out the dogs can peacefully play. But it's winter time so there's no one there except my with my tiny ass dog and this old guy with his husky. I have my dog on a leash bc I'm a reasonable human being and I ask him is he can put a leash on his dog bc I know they wanna play but my dog is tiny and slow and scared he's like don't worry he's well behaved. This huge ass heavy husky starts sprinting towards my puppy, JUMPS DIRECTLY ONTO HER and start kinda playing around but I hear her weaping so I pick her up, shout at the guy, get her to the vet. Turns out the husky completely destroyed my dog's knee so they had to put her under anesthetic and put like 2 screws into her knee, bear in mind I adopted her bc nobody wanted a puppy with a serious heart disease that basically meant there was an 80% chance she would not wake up after that operation. Thankfully she did and I didn't want to risk it so they just left the screws in and thank god her leg grew with the rest of her body bc that was a huge risk. Don't be a dick, unless you can 100% control your dog in every possible situation, have your dog on a leash
marxsia If someone caused my baby pain like that I would hunt that bitch down and put HIM on a leash. You fuckin knew his dog needed to be on a leash and look what the dog did, hurt your poor dog.
yeah, My dad has an almond orchard that is kinda connected to other people's orchard. there's a clear division between them. our "neighbor" was walking their dog along the path that connects the two orchards and we were walking ours. our dog is extremely well trained and so she doesn't need a leash, especially on our own property. there dog most definitely does need a leash. so we're walking along and their dog happens to see ours, sprints at our dog and bites her hard on the head. the owner of the other dog acted as if nothing was wrong even though our dog was BLEEDING. poor baby needed stitches and a weeks worth of antibiotics.
for annoying things my other dog does, she is the worst on a leash. she litterally can't walk on one without choking herself so we have to buy a harness instead lol. also, anytime you have a banana she won't leave you alone lol.
Harnesses do literally nothing for training pullers. It will stop her choking but it wont stop her pulling. I highly suggest trying a prong collar. I spent nearly 3 years training and using every tool on the market to stop pulling. Its the only thing that works - it is self correcting. Many people do not actually understand how to use them properly - there are a few good youtube videos on proper use.
CreepyMcSteezerson prong collars are not a solution, they are a bandaid. The only way to stop pulling is consistent training and positive reinforcement. I know it's incredibly frustrating, but that's really the best way. Prong collars are also inhumane.
Megan W I've studied animal training and care etc and front attach harnesses work best for pulling as the dogs get pulled to the side instead of back. Back attach harnesses encourage pulling for things like search and rescue when you want to follow the dog. All of them have reasons to be used. Check chains or choker chains are often misused. They are only meant to be used to create a noise to distract the dog not to choke.
Kermit sounds a lot like my cat. She doesn't really like me, but that doesn't stop her from following me around everywhere. She needs to be right there, but if I go to pet her, she usually runs away 😂
I had a goldfish that would do everything upside down. He would swim upside down, eat upside down and he would ether float at the top or lay on the bottom of the tank upside down, I would think he was dead until I tapped the glass and he would swim away. Like what the fuck?
Once i found my dog under the bed, chewing on something. I got her out and she had her little face all covered in pink lipstick. Turns out she was eating my favourite lipstick xD
catsrdop3 Well, I usually dislike the baggers who work at Publix, they always go all obsessive and creepy and say “I’ll take your bag out.” So many ducking times, it takes like ten times to say no! If I was put in that situation my actual thoughts would be “listen, I’m not a 95 year old lady, I’m a 18+ year old woman who can carry her own bags and push her own buggys.
I hate the bad ones who lie about where things are, the slow cashiers who take literally 10mins to check someone out with a line of 15 to 25 people behind you... And so on. The good ones are great the ones who actually give a shit and wanna help the customer are appreciated.
Audrey Because sometimes the cashiers are slow or don't handle the groceries properly or judge/ make comments based on purchases, as Jenna and Julien already talked about.
Life with Scout they are required to ask that for their job. Yikes. It’s literally part of their job description to ask politely to assist a customer to their car. It’s called being nice.
It's worse when the heavy dog has nails that need trimming! We have a pit and a lab who will rake the back of your leg and step on your foot every time the pass on the way out the door. Ouch!
I got a story for you. I have this big ass lizard who eats like fucking King Kong on steroids. He plows into his food like a little truck. So I decide to fill his dish up, yum yum yum fucking.. meat and stuff puree. So I give it to him and he starts running. Fucking full speed into this damn food. I fling my hands out of there and he smashes his face into the food. Not two seconds later do I hear this gargling noise that sounds like my shower drain after I shampoo my hair coming from this tank. I look over and he has this garbanzo bean like substance stuck in his nostrils. I go over to pull it out and this little shit runs all over the tank like I am gonna shove it back in there. I grab it and he bites me. Long story short it took about an hour to help him.
lmao relatable. my bird gets seeds stuck up her nose and when i try and help her get it out, she yells and flies in circles around my room lmao. she eventually sneezes it out but wow is she dramatic about it lmao
My corgi puppy does this thing at like 9pm every night (dog's on a fucking timer or something) where he just TEARS around my apartment. Even if we just went for a huge walk and he's exhausted he just bolts from one end to the other and then slams himself into the foot of our bed after each circuit. We've had to start sitting on the end of the bed with a pillow as a buffer so he doesn't hurt himself since his legs are too small for him to actually make the jump onto the bed. It's hilarious but also terrifying because I feel like he's just going to hurt himself with his manic running
My puppy does that! We call it the demon butt-run because he tucks his butt under himself. We think he does it because he gets tired but isn't ready to go to bed yet.
Alanna Matty my wire-haired terrier used to do the exact same thing. 11pm. Every. Night. The living room turned into an obstacle course and she would run in circles over and over, under the table, leaping over the sofa, etc. It's a puppy thing. She retired after the first year or so.
My cat Sunny steals my used q-tips and stashes them in his food bowl. Steals my socks to flip in the air. Loves opera music. Knows how to turn on the tv. Loves Asian men (I swear he's gay). And he's terrified of sneezing. He also hides during thunderstorms. My cat Maya loves guacamole. She thinks any towel that's around the house is for her to lay on. She kneads my lap when she's cuddly and I call it her va-jay-jay dance. She has to stick her paw in her water bowl every time before drinking from it and she knows how to meow the word "NO". My cats are weird.. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
My husky LOVES EVERYONE to a very extreme extent, like she will flip her fucking shit if there's dogs or people or any living creature anywhere near her and just rub all over them and howl and wag her tail. However, with me, she never jumps up on me, she never runs all around me when I get home, nothing. She'll just wag her tail a bit, maybe a tiny howl. She is absolutely not excited to see me ever. Just everyone else.
+CatsPlayPoker Dude my husky is the same way especially if there are children around. When we are in an off leash fenced dog area and she runs around other people can call her to them but me not a chance. She only listens to me in the house
My idea for how to phrase it: "Bags are 10 cents each. Do you have a preference on how many?" That leaves it open ended so if they don't care they don't have to specify, but you're still doing your job.
I work at a grocery store in Seattle. They put a ban on plastic bags and the paper bags cost 5cents per bag. If you bring your own we give you 5cents per bag on the bill
They charge for plastic bags in my state too. Reusable bags are great. They are cheaper in the long run, environmentally friendly and hold way more products when I have to carry them in.
It's crazy to me that this couple of sweethearts helped me so much to overcome my darkest moments and I really feel like I know them personally and they don't even know I exist. I don't even feel the need to meet them in person, I love to peek thru this window into their lives and I am glad they can censure things that they don't want us to see.
People who work in retail are programmed to work around the customers needs, we provide you with a service, thats what you pay for and thats what we get paid for. If you didn't bring bags with you and you don't say "hey can i grab some bags" we are just going to assume you want them in the trolley, and if your not listening to us or not paying attention at the register, we will just assume thats where you want them. The only reason we ask "how many bags do you want" is because you might want your cleaning supplies separate from your fruit and veg just in case it leaks, or maybe you want to buy another bag separate just for a particular item. Every customer is different and we try hard as retail workers to adjust to your needs when it comes to buying groceries. We are just doing our job and sometimes its nice to co-operate with us as much as we co-operate with you.
There's a lot of copperheads where I live, and my dog got bit one night when I let him out in our fenced in backyard to pee. I stayed calm, talked in a soothing voice, and gave him Benadryl, and jumped in the car and took him to the animal ER. He's fine now, he just had to take antibiotics and pain meds for a week. So when you go on hikes it's a good idea to keep Benadryl pills and some kind of treat you can put it in, and beforehand look up the dosage for their weight. It will keep the poison from doing damage as quickly. 💜
My rabbit does the same thing! Or she'll wait until I've just cleaned her litter box and pee right beside it. It's like why did I bother cleaning it if you're going to do that???
+Raya Ramzan I had a cat who pooped literally right next to the litter box. He would pee inside it, but when he pooped, he would stand inside the litter box and hang his butt over the side and let the poop just drop on the floor. Fuckin hilarious, but gross lol
+Raya Ramzan My over twenty pound cat Tara who freaking hates my new kitty Mitty, sits outside the litter box, watching Mitty pee/poop through the plastic door. It's like those closed off tops that you put over the litter box, and there is a plastic cat door they go through to get inside. Yea Tara watches Mitty through that plastic door. creepy af
At my store we're required to ask the number of bags you want because some people still get mad about the bagging law and dont want to pay for multipe bags XD
Cesar does not abuse animals he has saved hundreds of dogs and has had some hiccups but what trainer doesn’t I’d research a bit more before claiming animal cruelty
my corgi doesn't go on walks, she goes on carries. she refuses to walk with her leash, she either has to walk without a leash, or she has to have me carry her until she has to go to the bathroom. especially if there are stranger dogs around.
I know this was awhile ago but I feel the need to clear this up as someone who has worked in retail for many years. I understand your frustration with the bag situation, but it is equally as frustrating for the people who are working. At some places the cashier CANNOT continue with the transaction unless they know a specific number of bags that will be used so they can properly charge you for the tax. I understand that 10 cents is not that much in the grand scheme of things to you but there are people who will scream at the top of their lungs if a cashier charges them inaccurately. A cashier can never know how a person is going to react so if asking a simple question is going to avoid me getting screamed at.....I am going to ask it. In addition to this, in some situations managers are VERY strict and if the cashier did not ask that question they risk getting in trouble which could lead to them losing their jobs. This goes for credit card, store card, e-mail sign up, etc question. Retail employees are easily replaceable and some managerial staff knows that and uses that to their advantage. So, I'm sorry if it is an inconvenience to you for a cashier to ask you a simple question, but you have to think of the people on the other side of the counter that have a lot more to lose than you do.
Do they have aldi's on the west coast? I know in Ohio that's the only store where you have to pay for bags but its effing worth it cuz the food is so cheap AND you can even bring your own bags!(we reuse our aldi bags)
The reason you pay for the bags at Aldi is because they don't hide the cost of the plastic bags in their products prices like other supermarkets do. :)
I work at a grocery store in Maine, and right now the only place that charges for bags is Portland (I don't work in Portland). We have our standard questions we are supposed to ask every single customer; one of them is "Would you like your groceries in bags or boxes?" Even though the county we are in doesn't charge for bags, our company still wants to cut down on the amount of bags we use. They want us to use boxes that came off the truck and have been emptied instead of bags. I imagine in a place where they charge for bags, the management is probably on all the employees' asses about not giving away more bags than is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Like you said, +Jenna Julien, not many people where you shop get that many groceries all at once, so the cashiers/baggers are probably just worried about getting in trouble after you leave for using so many bags. I'm not judging or scolding or anything when I say this, but if you bring your own bags you will cut out that frustration from your shopping trip entirely. I just have a bag full or reusable bags that I keep near the door for when I leave to go shopping. You can even use the plastic bags you got from last time you were there. You could use something weird, like a suitcase or laundry basket if you felt like it. Maybe a wheelbarrow.
My Boston Terrier had problems with drinking and throwing it up, after trying this bowl as a last resort she no longer throws up. It is called the "Drink Better Dog Bowl" maybe Marbles should try it out. Dogs have different personalities and act differently in every situation, but one thing is a definite and that is that Jenna loves her fur babies. I hate when people bash dog parents for "babying" their dogs, listen I'm comforting and showing affection to my dogs get over it.
My 10 pound Bichon refuses to eat her dog food until after I have supper. She will watch me eat and after I'm done she will walk over to her food bowl and grab one piece and bring it out in the living room and make us watch her eat her low grade non steak dry dog food. She will continue this process over and over until she is full or she realizes we aren't paying attention to her tantrum. Also whenever I get her the meaty wet dog food she will refuse to eat it unless I make it look as if I enjoy eating it and serve it to her on one of my dinner plates. She also forgets my existence when outside. She will just walk away from me and if I call her name she will either ignore me or look at me like I'm an idiot, and continue about her way. If she realizes I'm close enough to grab her then she will surrender and roll over. Also she has time out in the bathroom and knows to stay there until her time is up. She thinks she's a human I swear.
that eating thing sounds like its due to status. They'll wait until the alpha or higher ranking is eating just in case they want some of their food, then when they have 'permission' they'll start eating their own food. Its very sweet really :)
Katie Allen i too have a bichon and this is really funny. my dog also takes one piece of food out of his bowl at a time and brings it to a separate room to eat it it's so weird.
cirquedumeow This sounds weird. I know. But try putting a rug under their food bowls. Not just a placemat...A big enough rug so they stand on it while they eat. My mom's chihuahuas didn't like being on tile or wood so they'd find the nearest carpet or rug. Let me know if it works. It worked for our little shitheads.
YES! I hate when people irresponsibly let their dogs off leash.. You never know how other dogs will react and it scares me because you never know how the dog will treat your dog! So I was on a walk in the neighborhood with my dog and I have a lab/pit mix so he's a goofy, medium-sized dog. Three little papillons ran at my dog..and bit his feet and my dog's actually scared of little dogs but the owners of the papillons didn't do ANYTHING! I was furious! My dog is my brother so I am protective of him hahah I was furious.
I totally agree. It's so rude, irresponsible, and careless to walk dogs off the leash, reguardless of how well trained your dog is. Unless you dog will not budge what so ever (which I have very rarely seen), put that pup on a leash! You never know what could set your dog or someone else's off.
I have a 14 year old pure breed Golden Retriever, my family got him as a puppy at about 7 or 8 weeks old from a reputable local breeder at the time. I love him, and he's definitely part of the family, but at 14 years old, he has more than a few quirks, for one, he's old so he's partially deaf, partially blind, and still stubborn as ever. He is definitely my moms dog, since when he was young my brother and I were still in school, thus he'd be home with my mom all day, so shes really his leader, that being said, at his age he has a tough time with the stairs in our house. Whenever my mom is home she's often going from upstairs to downstairs multiple times, and he'll follow her (cause that's just what he does) so right as he's laying down in one area, my mom is already up and going to another area of the house for whatever reason. And of course him being partially deaf and blind, he doesn't quite realize she left, by the time he's caught on he does the only thing he can think of, he barks, a lot..... quite loudly actually, and almost nothing will silence him. the only thing that gets him to go upstairs, a treat, show him a treat and suddenly he's super capable of going up the stairs but for the most part he really doesn't want to.
the head of my bed touches the corner of my huge window and every morning my little chihuahua will push the curtain to the side with his little paws and let a huge beam of intense heat and light shine onto me to wake me up and if that doesn't work he'll start rubbing his neck all over my face and eventually lick my face till I'm fully awake. Yeah it's super cute someday but can get super frustrating other times
My female dog grew up from a puppy around an older male dog who isn't fixed. So now my female dog tries to hike her leg up when she pees but she can't get her leg up well, so she ends up peeing on three legs and falling over.
In Maryland different counties have different bad policies. So where I live bags are free, but the county I work in charges 5 cents per bag and most stores don't offer paper bags.
We had an English Bulldog that didn't like rain. He hated to go outside to potty in the rain and sometimes if he really needed to go outside he would stand at the doggy door with it part way pushed in waiting for the rain to stop. If there was thunder with the rain he would camp out in the bathtub. There were a lot of storms during his 10 year life. He was also adorable because he understood everything I said to him - I taught him the name of every toy he ever had and he knew to get that toy if I asked for it. I could ask him if he wanted a bath and he would walk himself to the bathroom and get in the tub before I even turned on the water. I miss him.
My boyfriend has a husky that is overall a pretty good dog. he listens for the most part and since he's a husky he doesn't bark. but there is two things about him i could live with out... for one, yes he doesn't bark, but he does that like whining thing all huskies do, especially when we're eating dinner because he wants some of what we have. that's the one time he doesn't listen, you could tell him 1000 times no and he keeps doing it. the other thing i could live without is when you're sitting on the couch he'll come over and want to be scratched and petted so he'll lay his head on your knee or put his front paws on your lap. well that's fine and all i don't mind that, it's when he starts licking your face to show you he loves you he'll like nibble on your chin or ear. he doesn't bite, he just does little love nibbles w his front teeth but it gets annoying after a while bc he won't stop lol. but no matter what, he's always going to be my baby and i'll always love my big boy :)
That sounds like a really sweet baby, except for the whine-talking. My brother has a husky, and I was a little worried when he announced he'd be adopting her, because of the stubbornness and the reputed demand for attention. Turns out, she's incredibly chill and almost completely silent. Even when she's excited or wants something, she communicates almost entirely by motion and eye contact. The one thing she's not chill about is my mom's couch. She won't get on my brother's couch, but when she goes to visit my mom, that couch is her domain. She's weirdly polite about it, though. There's a sheet my mom lays out for her cats to sleep on, and the husky will do everything in her power to confine herself to that sheet, even when it's folded up. We figure she gets an E for effort.
this is old as shit, but i just wanted to share. like kermit, we manage to lock one of my dogs out constantly, like she'll be outside in the front and i dunno my dad usually just closes the door cuz its cold or whatever, and she wont make a SOUND. shes like very anxious and nervous and stuff (got her from the pound, she was most likely abused) and i guess she's like too polite to say anything? but she'll just sit on our porch for like half an hour in complete silence, maybe like a little bit of whining, before we manage to fucking find her and its hilarious and worrying. she also eats water, she doesn't drink it, she like chomps at it. my other dog is spoiled as hell, like he wont eat dry food if he thinks there's anything else remotely available. i love them both so much.
I've worked as a cashier in a grocery store, 10/10 wouldn't recommend, but there are always a set of questions that cashiers are told to say. So when they ask "How many bags would you like?" just think about how you'd feel asking the same question over 100 times a day. Be nice to cashiers man, cause they may be smiling but on the inside their feet and back are killing them and they just wanna sit down for a couple minutes. (Also I love you guys so much, dink dink ❤)
As someone who works in a grocery store, I can explain why we tell you some random isle the furthest away from us, or are seemingly annoyed. I work in the deli, so I therefore have NO IDEA what the grocery, produce, meat, seafood, dairy or bakery department stocks. Yet I still have people who will come up to the deli counter and ask me if we have a specific brand of canned lentils, or this type of gluten free bread. Like I have no idea if we have that, and I was doing like 15 things at once, and I have like 3 other customers who need my help, but I am now obligated to go on this wild goose chase trying to find this thing for you, when I have no idea where it would even be. Which yes, it is my job to help customers. But it is not my job to know every single product in the store, and where it is. If I'm not busy, I'll gladly track down if we sell lentils in bulk. But no one needs to find something when it isn't busy.
My pibble only wants to sit ON you...not near you, next to you... ON YOU. He's a 100% mush and cuddle bug, just the sweetest pup on earth...just be prepared to snuggled, hard.
My dog does this thing called reverse sneezing, and it's typical in shih tzus. She literally sounds like she's choking and grunting. Someone said to hold her fucking nose shut to let her breathe through her mouth but like ???? What ?????
I have two shih tzus and when we first got them we thought that the little baby boy was chocking bc he is mentally retarded and doesn't understand most things so my whole family flipped out so I looked it up and learned he just sneezing 😂😂😂 \\ my grandma was dog sitting the dogs along with her poodle and the baby girl started sneezing and my grandma freaked and called my mom and my mom had to explain to her that she was sneezing
I had a cat that loved metal and hated opera. When I played metal, he'd run full-tilt from room to room, jump on the furniture, try to play with random objects, and generally act like a kitten. When we played opera he screamed like a literal child and bit our ankles. Animals are fucking weird.
Awwwwh Kermit with the neediness is just like my dog 😂😂. Had her since a puppy exposed her to loads of different things so she wouldn't be a nervous dog.... that didn't fucking work 😂😂
All the big grocery places where everyone does the "big shop" (like 2 weeks of food) in the UK, delivers. Some even have a "click and collect" option so you can order it all and pick it up if your out. All packed and everything for you. It's awesome.
The 'shallot' thing made me think about Alyssa and Sam (who have a RUclipschannel) and went to a restaurant and asked if the meal they wanted to order, had any gluten in it, because I think one of them is allergic to gluten. And the restaurant owner asked THEM 'what is gluten?'... Omg like what, how are you owning a restaurant???!
+Aleah Rippeon No, you need to know about gluten of all things if you're a restaurant owner. They are held responsible if someone has a gluten allergy and their chef(s) didn't maintain a gluten-free cooking process, resulting in a reaction. It is definitely worrying for me if anyone deemed to be "in charge of my food" doesn't know about something that could possibly be life-threatening to me, even if I don't have a gluten allergy.
Gluten allergy wasnt really even a thing until more recently. Places would have gluten free items but couldn't guarantee that it was made in a gluten free environment. I've noticed a lot of older managers or restaurant owners arent familiar with it, because...like I said, wasnt really a thing. People who had allergies would just make their own food at home. Now everyone expects dishes to be COMPLETELY made to order....and unless you run a restaurant where you advertise that, it's a real pain in the ass 😅
Watching this nowadays when they are sponsored by Postmates a lot is a little funny because they are so shocked and awed at the concept of grocery delivery
If its in Upstate NY, the "Half a cow" is probably the schuanns truck. I don't know if it's everywhere, but especially in the winter, we would always get our meat delivered through them :)
Jeremy Hofecker If you live near eerie PA then you live quite close to the most western part of NY. :) oh never mind, I read that wrong as Im exhausted from depression and lack of sleep. lol
I love my Schwan's man lol he comes by on a regular basis now without having to preorder and let's me get what I want! That's how they do it in VA, he just comes by and if you order then they come regularly. Www.schwans.com you can see if they are near you.
I have a 130 lbs akita and while he's friendly, he is a control freak and he needs to be the one in charge and I fucking hate it when people have their dogs off leash because in my area its always little dogs and their owners always say "it's okay, he's friendly!" like BITCH it doesn't matter if your dog is friendly, mine might not be and under the law where I live you would be the guilty party if your dog got attacked because your dog wasn't on a fucking leash.
Irradiated Cutie I totally agree with you! It's not just big dogs that are off leash where they shouldn't be but where I live small dogs, like Pomeranians and rat terriers are off leash and that is just asking for trouble because my husky mix is usually fine but she does have prey drive and if your little dog isn't leashed it's not my fault if he gets attacked. It hasn't ever happened to me but I just hope it doesn't.
Might be her pronunciation. I got really confused till she said it a few times . I heard "shall-its" where as to me It sounds more like "shaa-loht" for a second I thought she said shale . But I'm a kiwi, we say shit weird ... idk .
Without fail every time we buy leeks from the grocery store the cashier never knows what they are to ring them up. It's very annoying to have to describe what a leek is over and over.
I'm late to the party but I was at the store a few weeks ago and bought spaghetti squash, rung up as zucchini, and an onion--a regular old onion-- and the woman rang it up as beet roots. I've also had to explain what avocados are to a surprising amount of check-out clerks!
I'm from Ohio and we have Aldi where you have to pay for your cart and your bags and they won't ask if you want bags they will just leave it at the end of the checkout unless you specify that you want a bag.
It's all just a puppy thing. Like the peeing, toilet training takes time. The energy - they have good days and bad days, you just have to keep them constantly active which is a win win situation. The chewing - they will grow out of it as long as you keep reinforcing discipline. My girl still chews but only on things she knows she can have like her toys, bones and sticks (but sticks are only allowed to be chewed outside). Obviously I catch her with the odd pen or tampon now and then but most of the time its her toys or bones. Paesh will grow out of it :)
Yessssss so fucking annoying. That happened to me at a dog park. We were about to enter the gate, and the lady ran over shouting saying NO!! you cant come in here. My dogs aggressive. Could you come back late? -_- why should you be allowed to take up the entire park just because your dog sucks??
Let me just start with saying, you guys are GREAT "parents", they wouldn't have it better any other way, you see that you guys love them with a passion, and that is just how it should be if you decide to take that big step in getting a dog! So well done :) I love these podcast videos, I´ve been watching both your channels separately for ages, but just came across this one, and I am addicted, watch it at the gym while running on treadmill or whatever! But our dog, Daisy! She is such a spoilt lil thing, and it is all our fault, we can't leave the house for 10 minutes, cos she will try and scratch through the door to get to us. Once we had her in the yard, big spacious place faced in with a cute little dog house, but we were gone for maybe 30 minutes, and she had chewed herself through the fence and meet me at the end of the road when I came walking like nothing had happened :P we love her to bits though, and wouldn't really want her any other way, she is super friendly and dont care about any other dogs when we are out, we are the only focus :) Thanks for an amazing podcast, love you guys! :)
In Austin TX you have to bring your own bags. They stop having them in stores as a way to cut back on trash and be more green. Only messed up thing for me is that I forget they do that since I live in the next county and we still have bags. So I'm the one carrying everything g in my hands
Also, I think everyone has their bad dog stories. But its what makes you love your pups. My dog, just yesterday, took all the chicken we had in a bowl cooling that was on the stove and ate it. Then when we told her it was bad, she looked at the cat like she has done it. Way to pass the blame lol
The mental image of Kermit trying to shoulder charge a door is fucking hilarious
Sooo Kermit is needy, Peach is destructive, and Marbles is snappy. I think they all balance each other out 😂
rockNroll I'm. Kermit lol
crystal mendez
I’m all of them.
I'm so glad I found this podcast this morning. HAVE I GOT A STORY FOR YOU.
My boyfriend (Jon) and I were getting ready for work this morning and we have a 6 month-old kitten that just likes to see everything we're doing in the morning. So Jon is trying to pee and the kitten likes to literally look into the toilet bowl while Jon is peeing, so if Jon forgets to close the bathroom door, he has to like hold his foot out while peeing so the kitten doesn't get sprayed with piss.
I was walking out the door to leave and I hear Jon scream "OH NO, OH GOD, OH DEAR GOOOOOD!" And I'm freaking out because I'm thinking "Oh holy shit the cat just died," but NO. (Not that I'm mad the cat didn't die, it's just that what happened was so fucking awful.)
The fucking kitten tried to perch on the toilet bowl while Jon was peeing and FUCKING FELL INTO THE TOILET BOWL WITH JON'S PISS IN IT AND THEN HE RAN AROUND THE ENTIRE FUCKING HOUSE LIKE A FUCKING LUNATIC SO THERE'S PISS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE THAT I HAVE TO CLEAN UP WHEN I GET HOME.
Fuck that cat.
No but I love him a lot and he's cute.
I had this happen, but it was less horrible because there wasn't pee in the toilet bowl at the time. My roommate's stupid horrible boyfriend had this kitten he completely neglected. She was sweet and loving, but a little dumb and rambunctious, so he just didn't feed her or change her litterbox or let her into the room he shared with my roommate. The result was that she bonded to me.
Anyway, this dummy liked to explore my bathroom when my boyfriend and I were getting ready in the morning and the toilet lid was usually up because (? I'm not even sure there was a lid on that toilet). One day, one of us commented to the other that she would almost certainly fall in. The next day, she did.
She then did exactly as your kitten did and ran all over the apartment, dripping toilet water. We could not stop laughing.
Oh my god this made me laugh to hard 😂😂
I know you commented this two years ago but I'm laughing out loud at this
@@leemz9110 i know you commented this a year ago but did you keep the cat?
@@lizziebozzie2418 no. That little fucker gave her to one of his friends while I wasn't around, out of spite.
Kermit is chaotic bad
Marble is chaotic good
Peach is chaotic neautral
YES! hahaha amazing
That's LMFB this is so accurate
That's LMFB I feel like chaotic bad is Marble because he’s an asshole, chaotic good is peach because she’s the sweet happy one, and Kerm is chaotic neutral because he can be good if he needs to be, he’s just a nervous guy 😂
this makes Bunny neutral good, a good timid goil
Omg that's so true tho
So my dog likes to sleep on towels, pillows and anything left on the floor. She hates sleeping on couches and won't make a noise so you will forget where she is and accidentally shut her in a room cause she's small.
One day we couldn't find her and I was looking everywhere cause she is fucking weird and likes to do stupid things like tries to lay in the middle of the road outside our house or she'll paw at the electrical wires like I swear she has a fucking death wish.
so I'm trying to find her and all the sudden I hear movement in my closet and she basically pulled pillows and blankets into a corner in my closet and made a nest. It's now like her official space since she'll cry if she can't sleep there and it's complete with a hanging pillowcase as the door. It's also the #1 place to find missing shirts that she thought would make it more comfy.
She's like my little hoarder
Awwwwhh that is so cute!
I have a dachshund that makes nests of like dirty clothes from my hamper or if my blanket falls on the floor she adds it to her nest. and thats also where I find mounds of chewed in half underwear. and when she gets caught she just burrows with her nose to hide in said nest.
+AlanaCastillo yea same
UR DOG SOUNDS SO ADORABLE AND IM IN TEARS CAUSE I WISH I HAD A DOG
That's so cute
From the way the camera kinda fisheyes, it looks like Julien's right forearm and Jenna's left forearm are HUGE hahaha
lol
*****
It's more funny than problematic. Get a more pleasant perspective on life, please.
their outer arms look all swolo and their inner arms look all weak and malnourished ahhaha
HAHAHAAH LOL NEVER NOTICED THAT
Deniz Balik first thing i noticed, when did she grow those hammer forearms lol
My 180 pound Rottweiler thinks that he is tiny, and tries to sit in everyone's laps. It's a struggle. 😂
Mirranda Chapman Lol I rather have that problem with my dog.
😂 he's great, just makes it difficult to sit on the couch.
My boyfriends rott. does the exact same thing! She's the biggest sweet heart though!
My Staffie is the same :) it's super cute . But I can never see TV .
So does my 120 pound German Shepard he things he is a Chihuahua😂😂😂😂😑
My dog thinks she's a cat. Like she's grown up with 3 cats and I rescued her as a puppy because her mom got hit by a car. So it's understandable since she hasn't really been around dogs as much as most have (like yeah I socialized her but I had to get her shots and make sure she was spayed and stuff first so she GREW UP with cats) and she perches I nth top of the couch, she hides in the little tunnels I have for my cats and she headbutts me because I guess she's learned that that means she loves me from the cats and like she'll get pets. One time when she was a puppy she tried to get up on the cat tree but got scared when it shook because she's so much heavier than the cats. And when she's playing she'll use her paws more than her mouth and it's so cute. I love her.
Awww... May I ask what kind of dog she is? ^-^ (just to imagne the picture better)
Katherine NO see my kitten was around dogs til I got her at 2 months and she acts like a little dog
***** shes a mix. Shes got daschund, boston terrier, jack russell and a bunch of other breeds in her. Shes a cutie
Katherine NO I love her
Katherine NO my dog is a cat dog he’s like a cat person but a dog.. most other dogs scare him
my chihuahua used to drink so much water and every time he'd throw up a little bit lol
in one of Jenna's vlogs Marbles does the same
Sil is fabulous which one?
Ezra Ángel Jaramillo my chihuahua peed in his water and on his son and then later came back and drank the water
I forgot how to read Chihuahua ...I didn't recognize it as a word so I just spend 20 mins trying to figure out what a chye-hoo-a-hoo-a was
My syrian hamster Willow is an escape artist. She lives in a 40 gallon glass tank, so there's literally a 90 degree angle glass wall that I thought was impossible to scale. I thought wrong. One night I woke up to a crawling feeling on my shoulder and realized Wil was nestling into the crook of my neck. I turn my head to look at her and she just looks up at me like "oh hi mom" and then curls up and tries to go to sleep. I'm like what the hell?! I put her back in her cage, stole the nightlight from the hallway and set it up by her for observation. I watched her for a couple minutes, and sure enough she eventually showed me how she escaped. This bitch was scaling the back of her 12" vertical wheel - a STANDALONE wheel, not one that was against the wall of the tank - getting herself to the topmost part of it, and then leaping a good 5-6" over (she was a baby, about 4" long at the time) and 4" upwards (16" tall cage) to the tank's edge. Then she just suicided off the tank and fell onto the carpet. Flabbergasted, I watch her scurry over to my bed, fucking Spider-Man up the wall with her back against my bedpost and her paws scurrying up the wall, then she just casually sauntered over my sheets like she was a hot shit and climbed over to me, up my shirt, and back to my neck. Then tried to go to sleep again.
On the one hand, shes cost me a fortune in getting her a taller tank and a lid for it, and an expensive wheel she couldn't climb. But on the other hand, it's good to know that when my little Willow escapes, it's to come find her momma 😍
Pearl of a Girl Nursery awww
That's actually adorable
OMG thats cute. How is little Wil now :P
Omg ik this is an old comment but I have a hamster that is fucking magic and has escaped so many times. My other one couldn't figure out how to drink from his water bottle for a few weeks so one is hella smart and is always running around and trying to escape and the other just sits around like he's having the deepest thoughts
awwwe aha
I have 4 dogs and they're all uniquely stupid.
Patiii1120 same one of mine runs into walks and licks walls randomly
kay loeffler One of mine likes to bark. At the main gate when it opens. And closes.
Patiii1120 this is my favorite comment 😂
AshleyMarie D. I'm glad 😂
My lizard says hi
My rabbit Roland is so damn picky about his vegetables. For most of his life he got romaine lettuce and celery, wouldn't eat cucumbers or peppers or anything else we'd try to give him. Occasionally he'd nibble on a green apple or carrot but overall it was Roland and romaine forever. One day I introduced him to kale and then it was all kale all the time and he wouldn't touch anything else. A month or so ago my work was getting rid of some bok choy and so I brought it home to him and he freaked out he loved it so much. So of course after that he would be picky about the kale, like he'd eat it eventually but was all sulky about it. Recently I got a deal on bok choy and was so excited to bring it home to him and see him be all happy over it. Fucker has had like three bites in two days. Bastard.
the bag thing bothered me cause they have to ask how many bags you want cause there's tons of people who will complain WHEN THEY GET BAGS and complain about TEN CENTS so we have to ask everyone and make sure they don't care
My dog has worked out how to open the bathroom door so she lets herself in while I shower and she tries to join in 😂
One of the dogs I used to have had a really nervous bladder. She would piss all over herself every time someone new walked in the room. One time the tv made a loud noise and she pissed herself.
Elsie Crosley omg
Elsie Crosley my dog does that like u could literally call his name and he will piss everywhere 😂😂
My parents dog pees every time a small child comes near her.
Elsie Crosley same
😂
My dog is a mini blue heeler (cattle dog) He dumps his food on the floor and "herds" it into the corner before he eats it.
Vickie Anders The mental image I have from that is wonderful 😂😂
That is hilarious. 😂
OH MY GOD YES PEOPLE NOT HAVING THEIR DOGS ON LEASHES!!!! I have a little dog she's a Westie and I adopted her she was a small little puppy she was like 6 months at the time maybe and I walk her to this spot that I know all the positive great dog people hang out the dogs can peacefully play. But it's winter time so there's no one there except my with my tiny ass dog and this old guy with his husky. I have my dog on a leash bc I'm a reasonable human being and I ask him is he can put a leash on his dog bc I know they wanna play but my dog is tiny and slow and scared he's like don't worry he's well behaved. This huge ass heavy husky starts sprinting towards my puppy, JUMPS DIRECTLY ONTO HER and start kinda playing around but I hear her weaping so I pick her up, shout at the guy, get her to the vet. Turns out the husky completely destroyed my dog's knee so they had to put her under anesthetic and put like 2 screws into her knee, bear in mind I adopted her bc nobody wanted a puppy with a serious heart disease that basically meant there was an 80% chance she would not wake up after that operation. Thankfully she did and I didn't want to risk it so they just left the screws in and thank god her leg grew with the rest of her body bc that was a huge risk. Don't be a dick, unless you can 100% control your dog in every possible situation, have your dog on a leash
marxsia
If someone caused my baby pain like that I would hunt that bitch down and put HIM on a leash. You fuckin knew his dog needed to be on a leash and look what the dog did, hurt your poor dog.
yeah, My dad has an almond orchard that is kinda connected to other people's orchard. there's a clear division between them. our "neighbor" was walking their dog along the path that connects the two orchards and we were walking ours. our dog is extremely well trained and so she doesn't need a leash, especially on our own property. there dog most definitely does need a leash. so we're walking along and their dog happens to see ours, sprints at our dog and bites her hard on the head. the owner of the other dog acted as if nothing was wrong even though our dog was BLEEDING. poor baby needed stitches and a weeks worth of antibiotics.
for annoying things my other dog does, she is the worst on a leash. she litterally can't walk on one without choking herself so we have to buy a harness instead lol. also, anytime you have a banana she won't leave you alone lol.
Harnesses do literally nothing for training pullers. It will stop her choking but it wont stop her pulling. I highly suggest trying a prong collar. I spent nearly 3 years training and using every tool on the market to stop pulling. Its the only thing that works - it is self correcting. Many people do not actually understand how to use them properly - there are a few good youtube videos on proper use.
Thanks for the recomendations!
CreepyMcSteezerson prong collars are not a solution, they are a bandaid. The only way to stop pulling is consistent training and positive reinforcement. I know it's incredibly frustrating, but that's really the best way. Prong collars are also inhumane.
Megan W I've studied animal training and care etc and front attach harnesses work best for pulling as the dogs get pulled to the side instead of back. Back attach harnesses encourage pulling for things like search and rescue when you want to follow the dog. All of them have reasons to be used. Check chains or choker chains are often misused. They are only meant to be used to create a noise to distract the dog not to choke.
I love the rants, honestly. They're super entertaining and hilarious.
I can't stop thinking Julian's shirt looks like chibi Deadpool with closed eyes..
Kermit sounds a lot like my cat. She doesn't really like me, but that doesn't stop her from following me around everywhere. She needs to be right there, but if I go to pet her, she usually runs away 😂
I had a goldfish that would do everything upside down. He would swim upside down, eat upside down and he would ether float at the top or lay on the bottom of the tank upside down, I would think he was dead until I tapped the glass and he would swim away. Like what the fuck?
BEST FISH EVER😂😂😂
HAHAHAHA WTF
troll fish
ultimate troll fish omg
+Savannah Washington i think it means the fish has a fucked up swim bladder
Once i found my dog under the bed, chewing on something. I got her out and she had her little face all covered in pink lipstick. Turns out she was eating my favourite lipstick xD
as a grocery store worker..... why does everyone hate us
catsrdop3
Well, I usually dislike the baggers who work at Publix, they always go all obsessive and creepy and say “I’ll take your bag out.” So many ducking times, it takes like ten times to say no! If I was put in that situation my actual thoughts would be “listen, I’m not a 95 year old lady, I’m a 18+ year old woman who can carry her own bags and push her own buggys.
people just tend to have a stick up their ass I apologize on their behalf
I hate the bad ones who lie about where things are, the slow cashiers who take literally 10mins to check someone out with a line of 15 to 25 people behind you... And so on. The good ones are great the ones who actually give a shit and wanna help the customer are appreciated.
Audrey Because sometimes the cashiers are slow or don't handle the groceries properly or judge/ make comments based on purchases, as Jenna and Julien already talked about.
Life with Scout they are required to ask that for their job. Yikes. It’s literally part of their job description to ask politely to assist a customer to their car. It’s called being nice.
usually anxious, bites people, needs constant attention. sounds like me. :)
"bites people" dame
loves chicken
Dyl San ACTUALLY ME
It's worse when the heavy dog has nails that need trimming! We have a pit and a lab who will rake the back of your leg and step on your foot every time the pass on the way out the door. Ouch!
Dyl San same thats why idk why my boyfriend is with me 😂
Dog stories start at 10:00
connie Rood
u a real 1
Oh boy thanku
I got a story for you.
I have this big ass lizard who eats like fucking King Kong on steroids. He plows into his food like a little truck. So I decide to fill his dish up, yum yum yum fucking.. meat and stuff puree. So I give it to him and he starts running. Fucking full speed into this damn food. I fling my hands out of there and he smashes his face into the food. Not two seconds later do I hear this gargling noise that sounds like my shower drain after I shampoo my hair coming from this tank. I look over and he has this garbanzo bean like substance stuck in his nostrils. I go over to pull it out and this little shit runs all over the tank like I am gonna shove it back in there. I grab it and he bites me. Long story short it took about an hour to help him.
I'm crying laughing lmaoooo
OML IM FUCKING DYING
catmink1 OMG😂😂😂😂
_.lorea._ I laughed so hard at this
lmao relatable. my bird gets seeds stuck up her nose and when i try and help her get it out, she yells and flies in circles around my room lmao. she eventually sneezes it out but wow is she dramatic about it lmao
My corgi puppy does this thing at like 9pm every night (dog's on a fucking timer or something) where he just TEARS around my apartment. Even if we just went for a huge walk and he's exhausted he just bolts from one end to the other and then slams himself into the foot of our bed after each circuit. We've had to start sitting on the end of the bed with a pillow as a buffer so he doesn't hurt himself since his legs are too small for him to actually make the jump onto the bed. It's hilarious but also terrifying because I feel like he's just going to hurt himself with his manic running
Alanna Matty My dachshund does the same thing! Every. Single. Night. Just like a tiny crack head.
Lol my Corgi-German Shepard mix does that
My puppy does that! We call it the demon butt-run because he tucks his butt under himself. We think he does it because he gets tired but isn't ready to go to bed yet.
Lmao my chihuahuas do that after baths
Alanna Matty my wire-haired terrier used to do the exact same thing. 11pm. Every. Night. The living room turned into an obstacle course and she would run in circles over and over, under the table, leaping over the sofa, etc. It's a puppy thing. She retired after the first year or so.
My cat Sunny steals my used q-tips and stashes them in his food bowl. Steals my socks to flip in the air. Loves opera music. Knows how to turn on the tv. Loves Asian men (I swear he's gay). And he's terrified of sneezing. He also hides during thunderstorms.
My cat Maya loves guacamole. She thinks any towel that's around the house is for her to lay on. She kneads my lap when she's cuddly and I call it her va-jay-jay dance. She has to stick her paw in her water bowl every time before drinking from it and she knows how to meow the word "NO".
My cats are weird.. But I wouldn't have it any other way.
Picachki jo
My cats fucking love Q-tips! One of mine also moves his water bowl before he drinks out of it and spills fuckin water everywhere.
My husky LOVES EVERYONE to a very extreme extent, like she will flip her fucking shit if there's dogs or people or any living creature anywhere near her and just rub all over them and howl and wag her tail. However, with me, she never jumps up on me, she never runs all around me when I get home, nothing. She'll just wag her tail a bit, maybe a tiny howl. She is absolutely not excited to see me ever. Just everyone else.
+CatsPlayPoker Dude my husky is the same way especially if there are children around. When we are in an off leash fenced dog area and she runs around other people can call her to them but me not a chance. She only listens to me in the house
Same!!
HA! so much for dogs being loyal!
Omfg mine looses her shit when she sees me, she literally jumps on me and howls and its too much to handle lmao
That's what huskys do. theyre usually un-loyal.
THE PODCAST HAS COME SO FAR I'M SO PROUD OF MOM & DAD
we have to ask how many bags first bc we're not allowed to charge bags without consent we have to ask how many or confirm it
Thank you for letting us know
My idea for how to phrase it:
"Bags are 10 cents each. Do you have a preference on how many?"
That leaves it open ended so if they don't care they don't have to specify, but you're still doing your job.
like he's being shot at by the police
I work at a grocery store in Seattle. They put a ban on plastic bags and the paper bags cost 5cents per bag. If you bring your own we give you 5cents per bag on the bill
what? hahaha whats the point??
more earth friendly:)
They charge for plastic bags in my state too. Reusable bags are great. They are cheaper in the long run, environmentally friendly and hold way more products when I have to carry them in.
ellectrifying I live in Tennessee, our bags are still free.
Thank god bags in texas are still free 😂
Cermit is a cat omg 😂
Jennas arm looks fuckin JACKED
GET ARMS
Chicago is like 12 or 13 cents each! And of course ago inform 2 things, & leave begin car and end uphaving so much shit!
her phone looks like an iPad because of the camera 😂
Renata Reid calm down! They were talking about how her arm looks weird because of the fisheyed lens not in general 👍🏻👌🏻✌🏻️
LOL i honestly thought it was an iPad the entire time until I read your comment!
I have 3 chihuahuas! I get it lol. Marbles sounds like a typical chihuahua.
I cant even press snooze in the morning, my cat hears my alarm and starts crying -.-
Sarah Cornell like ur profile poc
It's crazy to me that this couple of sweethearts helped me so much to overcome my darkest moments and I really feel like I know them personally and they don't even know I exist. I don't even feel the need to meet them in person, I love to peek thru this window into their lives and I am glad they can censure things that they don't want us to see.
People who work in retail are programmed to work around the customers needs, we provide you with a service, thats what you pay for and thats what we get paid for. If you didn't bring bags with you and you don't say "hey can i grab some bags" we are just going to assume you want them in the trolley, and if your not listening to us or not paying attention at the register, we will just assume thats where you want them. The only reason we ask "how many bags do you want" is because you might want your cleaning supplies separate from your fruit and veg just in case it leaks, or maybe you want to buy another bag separate just for a particular item. Every customer is different and we try hard as retail workers to adjust to your needs when it comes to buying groceries. We are just doing our job and sometimes its nice to co-operate with us as much as we co-operate with you.
Steph Grace 👏 Yes
There's a lot of copperheads where I live, and my dog got bit one night when I let him out in our fenced in backyard to pee. I stayed calm, talked in a soothing voice, and gave him Benadryl, and jumped in the car and took him to the animal ER. He's fine now, he just had to take antibiotics and pain meds for a week. So when you go on hikes it's a good idea to keep Benadryl pills and some kind of treat you can put it in, and beforehand look up the dosage for their weight. It will keep the poison from doing damage as quickly. 💜
My rabbit sometimes pees right outside her litter like c'mon y u do dis
My rabbit does the same thing! Or she'll wait until I've just cleaned her litter box and pee right beside it. It's like why did I bother cleaning it if you're going to do that???
The sass is real lol
+Raya Ramzan I had a cat who pooped literally right next to the litter box. He would pee inside it, but when he pooped, he would stand inside the litter box and hang his butt over the side and let the poop just drop on the floor. Fuckin hilarious, but gross lol
+Raya Ramzan My over twenty pound cat Tara who freaking hates my new kitty Mitty, sits outside the litter box, watching Mitty pee/poop through the plastic door. It's like those closed off tops that you put over the litter box, and there is a plastic cat door they go through to get inside. Yea Tara watches Mitty through that plastic door. creepy af
+Raya Ramzan lol omg imagine what people would think reading my reply if I didn't mention Tara and Mitty were cats xD
At my store we're required to ask the number of bags you want because some people still get mad about the bagging law and dont want to pay for multipe bags XD
It'd be cool to see a collab between the dogs and Cesar Millan😂
Cesar does not abuse animals he has saved hundreds of dogs and has had some hiccups but what trainer doesn’t I’d research a bit more before claiming animal cruelty
Jacqueline Leblanc she didn't say that she said she wanted to see him like play and work with the dogs to get rid of their fetishes and things
my corgi doesn't go on walks, she goes on carries. she refuses to walk with her leash, she either has to walk without a leash, or she has to have me carry her until she has to go to the bathroom. especially if there are stranger dogs around.
I know this was awhile ago but I feel the need to clear this up as someone who has worked in retail for many years. I understand your frustration with the bag situation, but it is equally as frustrating for the people who are working. At some places the cashier CANNOT continue with the transaction unless they know a specific number of bags that will be used so they can properly charge you for the tax. I understand that 10 cents is not that much in the grand scheme of things to you but there are people who will scream at the top of their lungs if a cashier charges them inaccurately. A cashier can never know how a person is going to react so if asking a simple question is going to avoid me getting screamed at.....I am going to ask it. In addition to this, in some situations managers are VERY strict and if the cashier did not ask that question they risk getting in trouble which could lead to them losing their jobs. This goes for credit card, store card, e-mail sign up, etc question. Retail employees are easily replaceable and some managerial staff knows that and uses that to their advantage. So, I'm sorry if it is an inconvenience to you for a cashier to ask you a simple question, but you have to think of the people on the other side of the counter that have a lot more to lose than you do.
Yassss perfect timing. 1 am boredom
Sarah Alyssa haha same!
Where abouts do you guys live? It was 6am where I am when you wrote this :)
Do they have aldi's on the west coast? I know in Ohio that's the only store where you have to pay for bags but its effing worth it cuz the food is so cheap AND you can even bring your own bags!(we reuse our aldi bags)
Swamptreader I love aldi's ! that place is my jam !
Besides that part of Aldi the thing I don't like about it is that the food goes bad easily
The reason you pay for the bags at Aldi is because they don't hide the cost of the plastic bags in their products prices like other supermarkets do. :)
Yo Aldi's bags are the best! We use them for everything. They are so frickin strong. So worth it!
Haha that is so funny, Aldi is from Germany and using these bags is like the stereotype of poor people over here 😂 (but they are really strong indeed)
I work at a grocery store in Maine, and right now the only place that charges for bags is Portland (I don't work in Portland). We have our standard questions we are supposed to ask every single customer; one of them is "Would you like your groceries in bags or boxes?" Even though the county we are in doesn't charge for bags, our company still wants to cut down on the amount of bags we use. They want us to use boxes that came off the truck and have been emptied instead of bags. I imagine in a place where they charge for bags, the management is probably on all the employees' asses about not giving away more bags than is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Like you said, +Jenna Julien, not many people where you shop get that many groceries all at once, so the cashiers/baggers are probably just worried about getting in trouble after you leave for using so many bags. I'm not judging or scolding or anything when I say this, but if you bring your own bags you will cut out that frustration from your shopping trip entirely. I just have a bag full or reusable bags that I keep near the door for when I leave to go shopping. You can even use the plastic bags you got from last time you were there. You could use something weird, like a suitcase or laundry basket if you felt like it. Maybe a wheelbarrow.
My cat sits in the kitchen at 2am and screams and it only wakes me up XD
My Boston Terrier had problems with drinking and throwing it up, after trying this bowl as a last resort she no longer throws up. It is called the "Drink Better Dog Bowl" maybe Marbles should try it out. Dogs have different personalities and act differently in every situation, but one thing is a definite and that is that Jenna loves her fur babies. I hate when people bash dog parents for "babying" their dogs, listen I'm comforting and showing affection to my dogs get over it.
My 10 pound Bichon refuses to eat her dog food until after I have supper. She will watch me eat and after I'm done she will walk over to her food bowl and grab one piece and bring it out in the living room and make us watch her eat her low grade non steak dry dog food. She will continue this process over and over until she is full or she realizes we aren't paying attention to her tantrum. Also whenever I get her the meaty wet dog food she will refuse to eat it unless I make it look as if I enjoy eating it and serve it to her on one of my dinner plates. She also forgets my existence when outside. She will just walk away from me and if I call her name she will either ignore me or look at me like I'm an idiot, and continue about her way. If she realizes I'm close enough to grab her then she will surrender and roll over. Also she has time out in the bathroom and knows to stay there until her time is up. She thinks she's a human I swear.
that eating thing sounds like its due to status. They'll wait until the alpha or higher ranking is eating just in case they want some of their food, then when they have 'permission' they'll start eating their own food. Its very sweet really :)
Katie Allen i too have a bichon and this is really funny. my dog also takes one piece of food out of his bowl at a time and brings it to a separate room to eat it it's so weird.
cirquedumeow This sounds weird. I know. But try putting a rug under their food bowls. Not just a placemat...A big enough rug so they stand on it while they eat. My mom's chihuahuas didn't like being on tile or wood so they'd find the nearest carpet or rug. Let me know if it works. It worked for our little shitheads.
My toy poodle does the same thing. He'll eat one piece of food at a time and stare at me the entire time.
YES! I hate when people irresponsibly let their dogs off leash.. You never know how other dogs will react and it scares me because you never know how the dog will treat your dog! So I was on a walk in the neighborhood with my dog and I have a lab/pit mix so he's a goofy, medium-sized dog. Three little papillons ran at my dog..and bit his feet and my dog's actually scared of little dogs but the owners of the papillons didn't do ANYTHING! I was furious! My dog is my brother so I am protective of him hahah I was furious.
I totally agree. It's so rude, irresponsible, and careless to walk dogs off the leash, reguardless of how well trained your dog is. Unless you dog will not budge what so ever (which I have very rarely seen), put that pup on a leash! You never know what could set your dog or someone else's off.
Yea that's something totally different, and I'm cool with that. What I'm not cool with is when a German Shephard is chasing my chihuahua
Did not expect half of that convo or ranting. Lovedddd ittttt.
I'm watching this for like the 3rd time idk it's just fun for some reason
I have a 14 year old pure breed Golden Retriever, my family got him as a puppy at about 7 or 8 weeks old from a reputable local breeder at the time. I love him, and he's definitely part of the family, but at 14 years old, he has more than a few quirks, for one, he's old so he's partially deaf, partially blind, and still stubborn as ever. He is definitely my moms dog, since when he was young my brother and I were still in school, thus he'd be home with my mom all day, so shes really his leader, that being said, at his age he has a tough time with the stairs in our house. Whenever my mom is home she's often going from upstairs to downstairs multiple times, and he'll follow her (cause that's just what he does) so right as he's laying down in one area, my mom is already up and going to another area of the house for whatever reason. And of course him being partially deaf and blind, he doesn't quite realize she left, by the time he's caught on he does the only thing he can think of, he barks, a lot..... quite loudly actually, and almost nothing will silence him. the only thing that gets him to go upstairs, a treat, show him a treat and suddenly he's super capable of going up the stairs but for the most part he really doesn't want to.
the head of my bed touches the corner of my huge window and every morning my little chihuahua will push the curtain to the side with his little paws and let a huge beam of intense heat and light shine onto me to wake me up and if that doesn't work he'll start rubbing his neck all over my face and eventually lick my face till I'm fully awake. Yeah it's super cute someday but can get super frustrating other times
Flash forward 2020 ... everyone getting grocery’s delivered to their from door. Lol
My female dog grew up from a puppy around an older male dog who isn't fixed. So now my female dog tries to hike her leg up when she pees but she can't get her leg up well, so she ends up peeing on three legs and falling over.
I bet BananaSplit and Cornetto don't give Jack and Erin this much trouble.
In Maryland different counties have different bad policies. So where I live bags are free, but the county I work in charges 5 cents per bag and most stores don't offer paper bags.
Bag policies*

We had an English Bulldog that didn't like rain. He hated to go outside to potty in the rain and sometimes if he really needed to go outside he would stand at the doggy door with it part way pushed in waiting for the rain to stop. If there was thunder with the rain he would camp out in the bathtub. There were a lot of storms during his 10 year life. He was also adorable because he understood everything I said to him - I taught him the name of every toy he ever had and he knew to get that toy if I asked for it. I could ask him if he wanted a bath and he would walk himself to the bathroom and get in the tub before I even turned on the water. I miss him.
My boyfriend has a husky that is overall a pretty good dog. he listens for the most part and since he's a husky he doesn't bark. but there is two things about him i could live with out... for one, yes he doesn't bark, but he does that like whining thing all huskies do, especially when we're eating dinner because he wants some of what we have. that's the one time he doesn't listen, you could tell him 1000 times no and he keeps doing it. the other thing i could live without is when you're sitting on the couch he'll come over and want to be scratched and petted so he'll lay his head on your knee or put his front paws on your lap. well that's fine and all i don't mind that, it's when he starts licking your face to show you he loves you he'll like nibble on your chin or ear. he doesn't bite, he just does little love nibbles w his front teeth but it gets annoying after a while bc he won't stop lol. but no matter what, he's always going to be my baby and i'll always love my big boy :)
That sounds like a really sweet baby, except for the whine-talking. My brother has a husky, and I was a little worried when he announced he'd be adopting her, because of the stubbornness and the reputed demand for attention. Turns out, she's incredibly chill and almost completely silent. Even when she's excited or wants something, she communicates almost entirely by motion and eye contact.
The one thing she's not chill about is my mom's couch. She won't get on my brother's couch, but when she goes to visit my mom, that couch is her domain. She's weirdly polite about it, though. There's a sheet my mom lays out for her cats to sleep on, and the husky will do everything in her power to confine herself to that sheet, even when it's folded up. We figure she gets an E for effort.
I could literally listen to them talk about this grocery delivery service _FOR HOURS_
Julien's stress about the plastic bags at supermarkets killed me
Driving home today, I found myself saying ... Kermit, Cermet, Squaremet, Smarmet, Squiramet ... I have a problem.
this is old as shit, but i just wanted to share. like kermit, we manage to lock one of my dogs out constantly, like she'll be outside in the front and i dunno my dad usually just closes the door cuz its cold or whatever, and she wont make a SOUND. shes like very anxious and nervous and stuff (got her from the pound, she was most likely abused) and i guess she's like too polite to say anything? but she'll just sit on our porch for like half an hour in complete silence, maybe like a little bit of whining, before we manage to fucking find her and its hilarious and worrying. she also eats water, she doesn't drink it, she like chomps at it. my other dog is spoiled as hell, like he wont eat dry food if he thinks there's anything else remotely available. i love them both so much.
I've worked as a cashier in a grocery store, 10/10 wouldn't recommend, but there are always a set of questions that cashiers are told to say. So when they ask "How many bags would you like?" just think about how you'd feel asking the same question over 100 times a day. Be nice to cashiers man, cause they may be smiling but on the inside their feet and back are killing them and they just wanna sit down for a couple minutes. (Also I love you guys so much, dink dink ❤)
As someone who works in a grocery store, I can explain why we tell you some random isle the furthest away from us, or are seemingly annoyed. I work in the deli, so I therefore have NO IDEA what the grocery, produce, meat, seafood, dairy or bakery department stocks. Yet I still have people who will come up to the deli counter and ask me if we have a specific brand of canned lentils, or this type of gluten free bread. Like I have no idea if we have that, and I was doing like 15 things at once, and I have like 3 other customers who need my help, but I am now obligated to go on this wild goose chase trying to find this thing for you, when I have no idea where it would even be. Which yes, it is my job to help customers. But it is not my job to know every single product in the store, and where it is. If I'm not busy, I'll gladly track down if we sell lentils in bulk. But no one needs to find something when it isn't busy.
11:47 Julien's perfect impression of Kermit crying
My pibble only wants to sit ON you...not near you, next to you... ON YOU. He's a 100% mush and cuddle bug, just the sweetest pup on earth...just be prepared to snuggled, hard.
dpbrown4766 honesty I’m _down_ lemme come over to hang w/ your dog
My dog does this thing called reverse sneezing, and it's typical in shih tzus. She literally sounds like she's choking and grunting. Someone said to hold her fucking nose shut to let her breathe through her mouth but like ???? What ?????
my boston terrier does too
my shih tzu does that to sometimes its really odd and scary because you think they would be choking but then its over and your like wtf is wrong lol
I had a shih tzu when I was little and he did the same thing, my mom thought it was asthma lol
I have two shih tzus and when we first got them we thought that the little baby boy was chocking bc he is mentally retarded and doesn't understand most things so my whole family flipped out so I looked it up and learned he just sneezing 😂😂😂 \\ my grandma was dog sitting the dogs along with her poodle and the baby girl started sneezing and my grandma freaked and called my mom and my mom had to explain to her that she was sneezing
My shihtzu/poodle mixes do this too. Blocking their nose doesn't help much for mine but massaging their throat works a lot.
144 dislikes are so from grocery shop workers and Kermit 😂😂
I love watching you two together, you are so real and you compliment each other well
hahahaha! 36:23 - 36:27 Jenna quoted UNFORGIVABLE! LOL!
my dog hates doctor who. he cries until you turn it off????
I had a cat that loved metal and hated opera. When I played metal, he'd run full-tilt from room to room, jump on the furniture, try to play with random objects, and generally act like a kitten. When we played opera he screamed like a literal child and bit our ankles. Animals are fucking weird.
Awwwwh Kermit with the neediness is just like my dog 😂😂. Had her since a puppy exposed her to loads of different things so she wouldn't be a nervous dog.... that didn't fucking work 😂😂
"i mean 10 cents, im a big baller, you can go crazy on the bags"
All the big grocery places where everyone does the "big shop" (like 2 weeks of food) in the UK, delivers. Some even have a "click and collect" option so you can order it all and pick it up if your out. All packed and everything for you. It's awesome.
The 'shallot' thing made me think about Alyssa and Sam (who have a RUclipschannel) and went to a restaurant and asked if the meal they wanted to order, had any gluten in it, because I think one of them is allergic to gluten. And the restaurant owner asked THEM 'what is gluten?'...
Omg like what, how are you owning a restaurant???!
Btw the channel is Alyssa Pacheco :)
I guess you just gotta be a good manager, and not necessarily a good chef, lol!
+Aleah Rippeon
No, you need to know about gluten of all things if you're a restaurant owner. They are held responsible if someone has a gluten allergy and their chef(s) didn't maintain a gluten-free cooking process, resulting in a reaction. It is definitely worrying for me if anyone deemed to be "in charge of my food" doesn't know about something that could possibly be life-threatening to me, even if I don't have a gluten allergy.
Gluten allergy wasnt really even a thing until more recently. Places would have gluten free items but couldn't guarantee that it was made in a gluten free environment. I've noticed a lot of older managers or restaurant owners arent familiar with it, because...like I said, wasnt really a thing. People who had allergies would just make their own food at home. Now everyone expects dishes to be COMPLETELY made to order....and unless you run a restaurant where you advertise that, it's a real pain in the ass 😅
Watching this nowadays when they are sponsored by Postmates a lot is a little funny because they are so shocked and awed at the concept of grocery delivery
My dog will hop on my bed, roll around, get all the covers, then take up as much room as possible leaving me curled up in a ball trying to get heat
What a daddy, "I always wake up when he cries" awwwwwwwww
I love binge watching these podcasts, love you guys ✌🏻
If its in Upstate NY, the "Half a cow" is probably the schuanns truck. I don't know if it's everywhere, but especially in the winter, we would always get our meat delivered through them :)
Kati Nicole I live in Ohio ( pretty near New York actually ), and yeah. We have a lot of them here too.
Jeremy Hofecker If you live near eerie PA then you live quite close to the most western part of NY. :) oh never mind, I read that wrong as Im exhausted from depression and lack of sleep. lol
There was a shwanns truck when I lived in Vegas
I love my Schwan's man lol he comes by on a regular basis now without having to preorder and let's me get what I want! That's how they do it in VA, he just comes by and if you order then they come regularly. Www.schwans.com you can see if they are near you.
Kati Nicole My parents get ice cream and stuff from Schwanns and we're from NE. I love their ice cream
I love how Julien looks like he just has a HUGE leg and arm because of the camera's perspective.
*Jenna's arm : "arm powers activate"
I think it's because of a fish-eye effect in the lens. (I don't know if that makes sense)
I listened to this for the first time just now, and yesterday, I got amazon fresh delivered to my house for free for the first time ever. I LOVE ITTT
Probably one of the funniest thing I have ever watched!!
ik i’m too deep in the old podcasts when there’s no comments from the past 7 years
I have a 130 lbs akita and while he's friendly, he is a control freak and he needs to be the one in charge and I fucking hate it when people have their dogs off leash because in my area its always little dogs and their owners always say "it's okay, he's friendly!" like BITCH it doesn't matter if your dog is friendly, mine might not be and under the law where I live you would be the guilty party if your dog got attacked because your dog wasn't on a fucking leash.
Irradiated Cutie I totally agree with you! It's not just big dogs that are off leash where they shouldn't be but where I live small dogs, like Pomeranians and rat terriers are off leash and that is just asking for trouble because my husky mix is usually fine but she does have prey drive and if your little dog isn't leashed it's not my fault if he gets attacked. It hasn't ever happened to me but I just hope it doesn't.
People don't know what shallots are?? What? Lmao
Claymore007 risotto ftw
Might be her pronunciation. I got really confused till she said it a few times . I heard "shall-its" where as to me It sounds more like "shaa-loht" for a second I thought she said shale . But I'm a kiwi, we say shit weird ... idk .
Without fail every time we buy leeks from the grocery store the cashier never knows what they are to ring them up. It's very annoying to have to describe what a leek is over and over.
ashleyxofashions A wild onion? I know thats wrong but for simpletons it works. lol
I'm late to the party but I was at the store a few weeks ago and bought spaghetti squash, rung up as zucchini, and an onion--a regular old onion-- and the woman rang it up as beet roots. I've also had to explain what avocados are to a surprising amount of check-out clerks!
This is one of those rants that you can just put on in the background and listen to while doing other stuff. I like it:)
I love just listening to ur guys podcast while working on something that takes a long time
I'm from Ohio and we have Aldi where you have to pay for your cart and your bags and they won't ask if you want bags they will just leave it at the end of the checkout unless you specify that you want a bag.
I think that's how all Aldi's work
You don't pay for your cart, you put a quarter in and get it back only if you return it.
in france it's like that in every grocery store
Yes! I'm from Ohio and we have that in North Carolina too because I moved there like 6 years ago
ye we have that here in ireland👍💜
It's all just a puppy thing. Like the peeing, toilet training takes time. The energy - they have good days and bad days, you just have to keep them constantly active which is a win win situation. The chewing - they will grow out of it as long as you keep reinforcing discipline. My girl still chews but only on things she knows she can have like her toys, bones and sticks (but sticks are only allowed to be chewed outside). Obviously I catch her with the odd pen or tampon now and then but most of the time its her toys or bones. Paesh will grow out of it :)
The worst one is people who have their dogs off lead and then tell you to get your dog away because their dog is aggressive. (Inset slow blink here)
Yessssss so fucking annoying. That happened to me at a dog park. We were about to enter the gate, and the lady ran over shouting saying NO!! you cant come in here. My dogs aggressive. Could you come back late? -_- why should you be allowed to take up the entire park just because your dog sucks??
elizabethxxpaige / I think that they should be the ones not allowed in the park, that annoys me too
Aw Julian feels so bad about Peach, you can tell by his face it's so cute.
Let me just start with saying, you guys are GREAT "parents", they wouldn't have it better any other way, you see that you guys love them with a passion, and that is just how it should be if you decide to take that big step in getting a dog! So well done :) I love these podcast videos, I´ve been watching both your channels separately for ages, but just came across this one, and I am addicted, watch it at the gym while running on treadmill or whatever!
But our dog, Daisy! She is such a spoilt lil thing, and it is all our fault, we can't leave the house for 10 minutes, cos she will try and scratch through the door to get to us. Once we had her in the yard, big spacious place faced in with a cute little dog house, but we were gone for maybe 30 minutes, and she had chewed herself through the fence and meet me at the end of the road when I came walking like nothing had happened :P we love her to bits though, and wouldn't really want her any other way, she is super friendly and dont care about any other dogs when we are out, we are the only focus :)
Thanks for an amazing podcast, love you guys! :)
In Austin TX you have to bring your own bags. They stop having them in stores as a way to cut back on trash and be more green. Only messed up thing for me is that I forget they do that since I live in the next county and we still have bags. So I'm the one carrying everything g in my hands
Also, I think everyone has their bad dog stories. But its what makes you love your pups. My dog, just yesterday, took all the chicken we had in a bowl cooling that was on the stove and ate it. Then when we told her it was bad, she looked at the cat like she has done it. Way to pass the blame lol
