    Snake prejudices... Grrrrr!

    SO today I was told that I'm (and I quote) 'Mental' for having anything to do with 'those filthy animals' that are 'the inbodiment of satan' let alone having them in my house. Same mare of a woman informed me that she hoped I didn't have children as she felt it would be 'boardering on abuse' to 'expose' my children to them..... she was a customer.... everything I could do not to stuff her book on puppy care up her a**eh*le.

    You should keep a little wallet fold-out of cute pictures of your snakes just for special people like that

    Wow... Just, wow. I've always thought that anyone over the age of twelve that needs to buy a book to tell them how to not kill a puppy probably shouldn't HAVE a puppy to begin with.

    Coventry, the wonderful (ahem) city that we now find ourselves calling home, is full of ignorant, bigoted, ignorant, poorly educated, idiots. Fortunately, I work from home or with customers around the country, so I don't come into contact with many of them. Char unfortunately works in a shop, fortunately it's a bookshop which keeps the worst of them away.

    I'm currently in the process of collecting Satan's embodiments from around the world. So far I have snakes (Europe) and a pacman frog (South America). Does anyone have suggestions for what harmless critter I should get next? lol

    Why not go the whole hog? You've got snakes and a frog, you need a lizard. I'd like to suggest a Komodo dragon. :-)

    I neglected to tell you that this vile woman was buying the puppy care book for equally vile child (who wrecked a display while she looked on and did nothing), because she was getting a puppy for the kid for christmas..... Clearly the whole "Don't buy dogs as christmas presents" campaign has fallen on deaf ears....
