I agreed to walk a disabled neighbour's dog... no good deed goes unpunished

3 options OP:

1. Move

2. Kill the dog

3. Kill Calvin

Come out to him & say goodbye.

Stop being a doormat.

I mean...you volunteered, so I can't agree with the manipulation part.

Just let him know that you REALLY need that time to clear your head. That you've got some shit that you need to think about. Hopefully, he can take a hint, but it doesn't sound like he can so you may have to be direct.

Also? THIS is why I don't volunteer to help people. I routinely donate money, clothes, etc. but FUCK walking someone's dog.

[quote]3 options OP

Or all three.

Assuming this isn't a troll post, just tell Calvin that he seems fine to take the dog out by himself now but that if he can't go out himself, you'll walk the dog.

[quote]Stop being a doormat.

Yes, if Calvin won't accept it, "No" or "I can't do it any more" are complete sentences. You do not need to elaborate further.

Everything but the bloodhounds snappin' at her rear end!

This. Never. Happened.

Calvin appears to have some issues…

R9 why this reads like an EST.

What R1 said, and I'd add a #4 LEARN BREVITY. Good god, when you make up stupid stories, you want the reader to have interest, to go along with your lame scenario.

Try harder next time. We might play along.

[quote] Calvin is also very active in his church and has a theology degree from a private Christian University where students have a to sign a covenant agreeing to no sex outside of marriage and specifically no same-sex activity.

This makes it more of an EST in Canada. We don’t really have these freak religious types unless they’re immigrants trying to scam the government by declaring their home a “church”.

“My neighbor is a friendless cripple who suckered me into going on long walks with him and his stupid dog.”

Too many minor details = not true.

Ok,i interesting story. Got weird when you said Calvin checks his dog poop for switchblades. Pretty sure that’s not gonna make its way through a dog without either of you noticing it DYING before it was passed.

If he can maneuver his wheelchair in bad weather, then he can walk the dog, and there is no need for you to be there.

Your neighborhood sounds pretty gross. Obviously what Calvin meant was that he wanted someone to accompany him on walks with the dog in case he needed help. It sounds like you were willing to help the dog but not Calvin since you felt the need to inform us he has primitive religious beliefs about gay sex, even though his legs are wet noodles.

Hey, fair enough, but if you won't move, tell the wheelchair that since you have discovered he is capable of walking the dog himself you need that time for other things. If there comes a time when he can't do it himself you will help out. If he makes you feel guilty just get in his face and snarl "listen ya gimp, you should have rescued a chihuahua instead of a large dog that needs an active owner, are you mentally defective too?"

You ignorant slut

I won't care if I can be here on the street where you live.

It’s infidel, thanks. And that school is extremely obscure and you would be hard pressed to find anyone IRL who has actually gone there.

Just tell him your work schedule has changed and you're not able to do it anymore.

r18 You searched so diligently, but you are an idiot. Bless your heart.

0/10

r22 It actually has a 5000 student enrollment and a few campuses and was the subject of a high profile Supreme Court case when provincial bar associations refused to grant credentials to their law graduates specifically because of their anti-gay stance. If you are Canadian and you've never heard of them, then you are the idiot.

Hey, OP lives where the streets are paved with fentanyl-laced coke! I'm movin to Canada!

Sounds like the kind of person who should have an indoor cat.

You’re a sweet person op. Don’t listen to these jerks. Do tell your neighbor you’re busy.

I think you can clarify that your offer to do it *only* applies to when he can't, and that you would prefer to do so solo, to clear your head and for needed alone time/mental health break as a poster upthread stated.

I think that's gentle enough to not hurt feelings and also set a clear boundary.

r24 Oh my goodness, you are trying so hard. Bless you!

Tell him that having given it a great deal of thought, and having experienced the implications first hand, you've decided that [bold]people in wheelchairs shouldn't get dogs.[/bold] Period.

I'm sure basic knowledge appears like a great effort to you, r22.

r31 Oh sweetheart, I hope things get better!

Is your neighbour Madison Cawthorne?

Are you Canadian?

No one cares about Christian bullshit here. That is minuscule for a college or “university”. If you think that a place like that would be well known here then you’re the idiot. Are you even Canadian?

They've been all over the news r34... you know, that stuff that non-idiots pay attention to.

OP? What would Jesus do?
