Don't you just hate it when you're walking along and hear jingling behind you and turn round expecting to see a dog, only to see a woman with a fancy bag

@afewbugs lmao I've done this to so many people, I have a "security" bell on my (definitely not fancy) bag and have had situations where people were walking with their dog and looked behind expecting to see said dog and seeing me instead, and a staff member in my local little tesco told me he thought a cat had got in the store one day when I was there

@afewbugs oh and I have a bunch of other jangly things hanging on my bag also

@afewbugs@social.coop mmhh...
I wonder: would telling her help? What about offering here a dog treat? I think it's 50/50...

[afewbugs@social.coop]

@bovaz I can't go round telling random women they're good girls and offering them a treat, I'm married

[bovaz@misskey.social]

@afewbugs@social.coop fair. Fair fair fair.
I was thinking more along the lines of "sorry, I thought your bag was a dog, here have a treat".

@afewbugs I tend to startle people because I move around quietly. Recently a person in the elevator said I should have a bell wrapped around me neck to warn people of my presence.
