I wanted a new hi-vis coat for work as mine was too small. I asked stores for one but they said I'd only had a new one 6 months earlier so, tough, come up with a better reason or get lost. 2 days later I put in another request complete with photos. We were looking for some youths who'd broken into a nearby house. I was standing chatting idly with a dog handler (actually I just put dong handler, good job I noticed that one) and idly reached out to pat the nice German Shepherd on the head but unfortunately poked it in the ear with my finger. As it was dragging me round on the floor, the handler kept saying "What did you do that for? He doesn't like it if you do that." Instead of "Leave." One armed coats are not a lot of use, unless you've only got one arm. Which if the dog hadn't got bored I probably would have had.
People at my work think im weird now as i just nearly spat coffee everywhere when i read that.
Ijust have funny images in my head now of the dog being poked in the ear.
