OT The right thing to do

[Tony Hwang]

What? you gotta joking. She shouldn't even talk with them.

[Tony Hwang]

Hmmm, Do you have a dog like that? I don't. Our dog never does anything like that. If he tries, our 3 cats will put a stop to him vice versa.

OT does not stand for On Topic. Just filter any subject starting with capital OT. I could tell you how to do it since you use Xnews...but then that would be Off Topic.

...with dog piss "accidents" all over the carpet. I wouldn't take my shoes off. Unless it's a service dog, don't say there aren't piss spots. If it were a service animal, it wouldn't eat shoes.

Moron! Putting OT in the subject line does NOT excuse wasting space in a topic group, any more than putting SPAM in the subject line makes spamming a topic group!

[Bob F]

Ummmm? If they don't know what OT stands for, why would they know to not read the thread?

[hrhofmann]

I'm even more scared about the Doctor's children, wonder how they will turn out when they grow up with that kind of example to follow?

but repling to said OT/Spam is *not* taking up space? I think the servers can handle it just fine, you on the other hand seem to be the waste

She's right, but in the long run it's not worth the fight. Don't work for those people.....this is a preview of any future problems with them. Get out while the getting is good. And whoever told her about those people, she should tell the referrer that the people did her wrong.

awww, that's bad. Not to mention cruel. The dog only knows as much as the owner tells it. It's the owner's fault. Who the hell are you? Are you Vick?

When our dog was a puppy, he pooped in the doorway to my daughter's BR. My daughter woke up and half asleep walked out of the room in bare feet and right into the soft poop. You should have seen her hop to the bathroom real fast to clean it off.

[Roger Shoaf]

Well she has the right to set her rates as she pleases. If they want her back she should up her rate she charges to pay for a new pair of shoes.

Next question is what kind of sneakers are worth $75?

[Steve B]

Two things happened. One, your daughter left her shoes where the dog could get to them, and the dog got to them. I'd say it was half/half responsibility.

Your daughter should thank them for the work, and not work there again.

A reasonable person would meet her at least half way on replacement. A reasonable person would have warned her about the dog. A reasonable person would have appreciated the fact that she was more concerned about watching the kids and not her shoes. These people don't seem to be reasonable, and next week it's just going to be something different.

[Steve B]

NO! Next week it will just be another drama.

I think your daughter displayed more maturity and diplomacy than these parents. You should be proud. Chalk it up and move on, but don't step in front of THAT bus again.

Anything decent.

Bert, opening an OT thread, and then complaining is like eating a steak and sending back the empty plate to the chef with your complaint. OT means off topic, by the way. New here, huh?

Steve

[Steve B]

And plonking solves the whole thing. Good bye, Burt.

[Steve B]

In my life, I have quit employers and told them that they do not meet my standards as employers. It goes both ways, you know.
