My parents and I were staying in Ocean Springs, MS over Thanksgiving, and decided to take a drive to Pascagoula on Black Friday. We were having a nice day, and walked up to this shop to take a look. My parents both collect and deal antiques, so we often stop at antique shops. As we were traveling with my two dogs, we take turns going into shops unless someone expressly invites them in. I was going to sit on the brick wall of a flower bed in front, but since the dogs were antsy, I decided to walk them around. We walked over to another flower bed, and my smaller dog (who is still 45 pounds) was sniffing a plant while my bigger dog (70 pounds) decided to jump up next to the flowers. Since there were new pine needles covering the dirt, I started leading her off, and telling her to get down.

He turned and went back in the store, and began griping about dogs in his "expensive flowers" (Shasta daises are the new rose, y'all), and my mother walked out. She knew what was up. After she heard my story, she called my dad on his cell and he left, too. I am a 48 year old woman who does not let her dogs run amok, and I certainly do not need a cranky old person to mansplain respect for property to me, especially when I'm dealing with it. The dogs didn't even knock a single pine needle out onto the sidewalk, so his ire was both misdirected and overblown for the situation. If he is going to overvalue dead flowers and pine needles, one can assume that his valuation of...

Everything is so over priced. They also have a roach infestation. A tiny roach I've never seen. Nancy smashed one on the counter and told me all about...
