Happy Doggo Day!

By Holyguacamoly - This FML is from back in 2014 but it's good stuff - Iceland

Today, at work I had to explain to a client that male dogs can wear red collars and it doesn't make them "gay". The client then got angry and stormed out of the store, causing me to get written up. FML

OP had NO reason to try to change how the client viewed the world...OP deserved it for telling the client how they thought the world should be. #31 you are perfectly right

It's a collar it doesn't mean anything right? It is just a way of identification aside from the tags

Wouldn't that be weird, putting on a certain colored shirt to change your sexuality instantly. What an idiot.

Red? Seriously? If it had been pink or purple, they'd still have been an idiot but it would be a little more understandable. Not that dogs can see colour anyway, much less give a damn about human colour-gender associations.

I meant to say they can't see THAT colour - dogs lack one of the sets of cones that humans have in their eyes and are red-green colourblind. Sorry for being in a rush.

Unless I misunderstand the meaning of "red green colorblind," I believe dogs only have blue and green color receptive cones, so wouldn't they just be red colorblind?

Red is considered a gay color in Iceland? You should tell the politicians in the US that. They're BIGTIME fans of the color red.

I wish people would stop associating bright colors with homosexuality. It's such a stereotype. Just... no.

I work at a pet supply store myself and although we're in a really liberal, progressive neighborhood, it's insane the amount of men who need their dogs to reflect their sexuality. Even if they're walking their wife's poodle, they absolutely refuse to hold a pink leash. My response is usually to joke WITH them instead of at them, "Oh yeah? I guess your dog is gay now" and they don't feel like I'm making fun of them, we're just sharing a joke. They usually realize how foolish they're being.

When my husband got his english mastiff, as a joke, I got a bright pink collar with sparkly crowns all around it for her and managed to find a leopard print shirt that said princess to fit her. When my big tattooed, shaved head, car loving husband came home and saw his dog all prettied up and me giggling like a maniac, he just went with it. It didn't bother him one bit. Just like the time I bought our son a black sparkly tutu to dress up in so he could be like his older sister when they played dress up. Then no fighting over her tutu (my son looks up to his big sister and always wants to do what she does). Again, husband seeing his son in that, bashing cars around the living room just shook his head and said, "whatever". These things does not make a person, child, dog or their owner gay. If so, I think many many fathers out there that wear a tiara, let their daughters paint their fingernails and play tea with them are in for a huge shock.
