WHAT I HATE TODAY: Your daily dose of negative energy

Today I hate people who walk their dogs at the park on those long retractable leashes and then pay attention to everything except the actual locations of their dogs. These people seem to have misplaced the knowledge that the primary function of a leash is to limit the possible movement of their dogs, and find themselves in a state of constant surprise that, while they were concentrating on their cell phone conversations or staring directly at the sun, their precious pooches elected to use their 20 feet of slack to explore the crotches of nearby pedestrians, urinate on toddlers, or entangle themselves in the legs of passing skaters.
