Dogs and Transportation: Good boy

Good boy

By Anonymous - 17/02/2013 06:01 - United States - New Bloomfield

Today, I was riding my bike, when I saw a large dog sitting in front of a house. I started to really crank the pedals, figuring that by the time it saw me, I'd be long gone. My chain popped off, I lost control and crashed onto the side of the road. The dog hadn't moved. It was a statue. FML

Today, I ran into a parked car and fell into the gutter. All because a dog suddenly barked at me. From the other side of a wooden fence. FML

Today, I rode my bike to the grocery store. I left my bike on the small bike rack they have outside the door. When I came out 5 minutes later I found someone had tied their enormous, growling German Shepard to the same rack. I had to wait for the owner to come out who then laughed at me. FML

Today, my bike slipped on ice and I slid spectacularly for several meters. While my helmet saved me from a cracked skull, nothing could protect me from landing leg-first in the dog poop somebody hadn't bothered to pick up. I had to go to school like that. FML

Today, I ran over a chipmunk. On my bike. Its mangled carcass got caught in the spokes and decided to join me on my ride. FML

Road rage

By fUcKOAHdSAjl - 16/08/2013 18:41 - United States - Manchester

Today, my dog was riding my car's passenger seat. He clambered over onto my lap, causing me to lose control of the wheel for a few seconds. As I tried to knock him off me, I lost track of my speed, and ended up being pulled over for reckless driving. FML

Today, my friend and I were racing on our bicycles when my chain snapped. I went over the handlebars and slid, on my back, for about ten feet. FML

Today, I was walking my husky when she saw a cat and bolted toward it. I couldn't let go of the leash because my hand was tangled up. Forced to run along, I ran into a parked van at full sprint. I lost my dog, broke two ribs and have to pay for the dent in the van. FML

BIKES

Today, I was riding my bike down a road I know is quite hazardous. Having almost been hit in the same spot the day before, I rode across the intersection very satisfied without having been injured. Until I crashed into the guy front of me and flipped over my handlebars. FML

Multitasking

By the_dog_sitter - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while I was walking my friend's dog around the neighborhood, I watched as a little girl fall off her bike. I let go of the dog and ran over to help. The girl was OK but the dog ran into the street and got hit by a truck. FML

Today, I swerved to avoid hitting a dog that ran in front of my car. The dog was fine but I hit a road sign, ripped off my rearview mirror, and cracked my passenger side window. When I got out to examine the damage to my car, the dog growled at me. FML

He saw a human and acted like a statue so he wouldn't be disturbed! Clever boy!:D

Because every dog that isn't a statue will attack people...

I know not all dogs are aggressive and ferocious, yet I am scared of dogs, so is my little brother, this due to the fact of when we were children, he got bitten by a crossbred. He had a really thick coat on, so he was fine, but yeah it traumatized us. Sucks for your fear OP! Hope you're okay.

Scarecrows deter birds. Scarepersons ward off pedestrians and cyclists.

Why are you afraid of a dog anyway. That's crazy.

Something simmilar happened to me once. I was running to my house and I saw a twig on the ground and for a split second my subconscious mind interpreted it as being a snake and I completely stop and spazz out as in stop where i was put my arms in front of my chest and jump with one leg up in the air. Then I realized I freaked out over a twig.

You shouldn't just assume that a large dog is going to be aggressive. YDI

I get that you shouldn't stereotype the big dogs, it does bother me when people act like certain breeds are always dangerous. That said, I feel like if you don't know (because some big dogs are still going to be aggressive, just not all), it would often be safest to assume the worst. In a situation like this, where you aren't interacting with the dog at all. Also, OP may have had a phobia of dogs. I've known people with it before. Even if it's a smaller dog or one that couldn't easily attack them, it can still scare them, and the larger or more unrestrained the dog is the worse it gets.
