I don't get..

People who don't have pets. I understand if your lease forbids you from having animals, but if you are free to do so and you don't.. I just don't get it.

Please share yours.

  • I do not get the low pants thing.  Why woud you want to wear your pants half way down your butt and have to constantly pull them up from falling completely around your ankkes.
  • I don't get why the volunteer in my office has to talk out loud to herself while she's writing.

  • I don't get the harsh restrictions on having pets in rental properties. If my pet causes damage I will pay for it. In the apartment we're hoping to rent they have about 12 dog breeds that are restricted from being allowed to be in your home. Husky breeds included. Our two big dogs are husky mixes. We've got someone fostering them until we can buy in about a year, but jeeze. They're the calmest dogs ever.

  • People are still takling about the cupcake thread? Wow. I mean, I'd read it if I saw it but I'm not going to go out of my way to find it or ask around for it.

    I also don't get AE's.

    YES!  ITA!  I walked into CVS behind these two guys with the pants halfway down the legs yesterday.  I just shook my head.  I don't understand how that got to be "cool".

    Allergies. Some people are extremely allergic to pets and look for properties that are pet free. If someone with a pet lived in one of those properties there would have to be massive cleaning to get rid of all dander.
  • MK, I agree. Especially places with no cat rules. What is my cat going to do? Especially if they have wood floors. I understand about peeing on carpets, but my cats would have to work really hard to destroy wood floors or tile.
  • Nuggs we saw a guy wearing skinny jeans below his ass the other day at the mall. I don't think he could move either foot forward more than a few inches without waddling. He looked like an idiot.

    Both.  Unless you're mixed, in which case you can't think about it too much or your head will implode and become a black hole.  A mixed hole?

    SEE NOW LOOK WHAT YOU DID.  Even space is racist.

  • Oh, and I don't have a pet.  And we own, so we could.

    But for us, we don't because we're too busy to give them the attention they deserve.  Between my three part time jobs, I work every day and I frequently have rehearsal at night.  FI works full time and goes to law school in the evenings.
  • I don't get charging monthly fees for having a pet at a rental. Charge a reasonable deposit and bill for any damages.

    Ok, I know you're a troll, but this logic is flawed. You say so in your post that people with allergies look for places that are pet free. There are loads of those out there. And why would a pet free place allow someone with pets to live there. Does not compute.

    My point is about those places that DO allow pets, but limit how many, what breeds, and weight limits. It's lame.

    The breed restrictions usually have more to do with a dog's "bite potential" than with any property damage the landlord is worried about.  There's a list of the top 10 "offender" breeds when it comes to dog bites, and most properties ban these dogs because they're considered "high risk."  I think it's stupid, because dogs bite when they're poorly bred and trained, not just because of their breed, but that's the logic that was articulated to me when I used to work at a condo building (and was stuck with enforcing these ridiculous rules!).

    Did you (general you) memorize that shiz in high school when you had to start taking standardized testing?

    As of a few weeks ago, I now know the hubby's, too.  Just good info to store in your brain.  Of course, I'm a numbers gal, so there's that.
