I 26F have started dog-sitting recently using the app Rover. I had dogs growing up in a rural area but this is my first experience caring for one in a city so maybe I’m still figuring out the etiquette.

Yesterday I was on a walk and the dog stopped on the sidewalk to poop and it happened to be in front of a clothing store. It was not in the door way but as the store front was all windows, the shop owner could see and came out the door to yell that it’s disrespectful to let the dog poop in front of a business and that I’m very rude.

As soon as I could tell he was going, I grabbed a poop bag out so by the time she came out I feel it was clear that I was going to pick up after the dog. It’s also a city block where stores are side-by-side so there isn’t much of a way to avoid being in front of a store all together but I would try to move the dog if they were going in the walk-way and I always pick up after them.

I don’t know what else I could’ve done in the situation but the shop owner was very mad so I feel bad about it. AITA?

ETA: We were on the way to the park (about a 10 minute walk) when this happened and if I didn’t make it clear, yes I did pick it up and did my best not to leave residue.

Hi I’m looking for a good chocolate chip cookie cake (or open to other suggestions) for this weekend. I don’t love particularly sweet or “cakey” cakes and haven’t had a birthday cake in years so trying to make it special.

I’m willing to go anywhere in Brooklyn (or other boroughs based on a strong recommendation). Thanks!

Does anyone know if Maley or Fautheaux play in the commissioners cup finals if that counts against their allotted games? Beyond that are only the rostered 12 at the end of the season eligible for playoffs, can the team save dev spot games, or are the full 14 available to be called?

Just curious because I’m still figuring out how the dev spots work

It drives me crazy as a reader/viewer when the narrative leaves no ambiguity to the fact that a character is dead (buried in a coffin, bleeds out in another character’s arms, we see/ are told a bullet goes through the heart) just to be told later that they faked their death with either no excuse or an incredibly improbable excuse.

I don’t mind if it’s ambiguous (they’ve been missing 5 years and assumed dead, no one found the body, etc.) but if it’s clearly outlined that they are dead then it takes me out of the scene and I just feel like whoever wrote this lied to me.

So I’ve (25F) never been someone who minds Pap smears. They luckily aren’t painful for me and I’m pretty good at compartmentalizing so I don’t view them as sexual or violating. I also need to get them pretty often.

Last time at a new obgyn’s office(I just moved), right before my pap my doctor went to get a chaperone and I was fine with that (in the past I’ve even let med students in to watch because they need to learn somehow and I don’t mind). My doctor then brought in a woman in her early 20s in scrubs who was not introduced to me so idk what her role/ job was (my guess would be a nurse or CNA).

They were then laughing and joking (not about me but kind of about the situation) during the exam and at the end the doc asked how she felt about seeing her first pap (this was news to me) and the girl said it was “kinda gross” and she hoped she didn’t need to sit in on more of them.

I don’t take this personally at all but it made the situation less comfortable and so I’m considering asking not to have a chaperone this time. I do know that it can also be for the doctor’s safety/ comfort though or might just be required policy so I’m curious to hear other opinions.

The rest of the appointment that the “chaperone” wasn’t present for was great and the doc was professional and very helpful!

This is probably a regional or language barrier thing but for some reason it comes off really pretentious and bothers me when this word is pronounced “FIN-ance” or “FIH-nance” instead of “f-EYE-nance” or “FINE-nance”.

(sorry I’m not well versed in phonetic spelling but hopefully this makes sense)
