You're starting to get on my last nerve, dog nutter [name redacted].
“Just wear earplugs, stupid” is dismissive and insensitive BS as it places the burden of managing a noise problem entirely on the person being disturbed, rather than addressing THE SOURCE of the noise or acknowledging the full complexity of the situation.
1) No, wearing earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones won't solve the problem of barking dogs, bc dogs will still bark and not everyone has or uses earplugs anyway.
2) No, bc barks often bark all throughout the day and you can't reasonably expect people to wear earplugs 24/7
3) It doesn't even drown out or fully muffle the sound of barking, you a--hat.
4) I'm also talking about barking in general and how menacing and abrasive and out of place it is, not just as a noise disturbance.
4a. Barking is also evidence of the domestic dog's mindless mutant aggression.
5) In essence, this shifts the responsibility and blames the victim, implying that the disturbed person's discomfort is a personal failing that can be easily fixed with a simple accessory, rather than a legitimate problem caused by someone else's inconsiderate behavior, or the actions of a worthless barkbag.
6) It ignores the source: It avoids asking the person making the noise to be more considerate (e.g., lower the volume, move elsewhere, use their own headphones, train their dog or not have one), thus enabling their disruptive behavior to continue.
7) It also overlooks practical and health concerns (some may not be able to use earplugs or headsets, or take allergy meds etc)
8) It minimizes the very real feelings of others, and disregards their right to comfort.
9) Saying this crap also invalidates needs: It sends a message that the disturbed person's need for quiet and peace is less important than the dog's inferior desire to make a completely pointless and needless fucking noise. And that is not acceptable.
