by A Reddit poster isn’t exactly making friends and influencing people.
Writing on the subreddit known as AITA (“Am I the a—–e”), a man with the username “Other_Computer_7702” sought the opinions of others after a dramatic encounter in a park with his infant son and a couple aggressive and unleashed pups from a stranger.
He started his post by saying, “I hate dogs. I can’t stand them. I hate them, I avoid them, I do everything I can to not have them in my life.”

That said, he then described what happened “in the neighborhood park”.
He said he and his wife were there with their six-month-old baby boy.
“Best child in the whole world,” he wrote.
One man described an experience in a park in which a stranger’s puppies charged at him, his wife and their young son while they were relaxing on a picnic blanket. “I hate dogs. I can’t stand them,” the man wrote on Reddit. (iStock)
The three of them were “having a picnic” and it went “great,” the man wrote.
He said their “baby [was] on a big blanket and having the time of his life, rolling, playing, giggling. It [was] great to see him so happy.”
But those moments of bliss then apparently turned ugly.
“Before I know it, some puppies are headed straight for us. They’re loose.”
The man wrote, “Before I know it, some puppies come right at us. They’re off the leash and their owner is just standing on the walkway watching them run towards us.”

The man on Reddit wrote that he “didn’t notice [the dogs] until they were pretty much on our blanket. At that point I picked up my son and shouted ‘WTF’ at the man. He looked shocked that I didn’t enjoy the stunt” he and “his dogs pulled,” the man added in his Reddit post.
The Redditor continued, “My wife yells at him, I yell at him. I stand up straight [said]’I hate your dogs, can you have them?'”

The man said the stranger’s puppies “just sit on our blanket and expect to be petted. I start walking up to the man and yell at him to get his dogs.”
The Reddit poster continued, “He’s starting to get mad at us. He says they’re friendly and just wanted to play, they’re not going to hurt anyone. [But] I tell him he just ruined our lunch.”

The Redditor added that the man tried to “excuse his and the dogs’ behavior by saying they’re puppies.”
“He finally grabs his two dogs and says, ‘Who doesn’t like puppies?'”
However, the Redditor wrote, “I don’t care. I just want[ed] he and his dogs are gone.”
He said he “cursed” at the man “constantly”.
The man with the dogs apparently told the Redditor to “calm down” – but he was unable to do so.
“In hindsight I may have been too aggressive,” one man wrote on Reddit about his behavior towards some overly friendly young pups. (Fox news)
“I keep scolding,” the Redditor wrote, “and he finally grabs his two dogs and says, ‘Who doesn’t like puppies?'”
Apparently, the man then “finally” left — but “he ruined our lunch,” the redditor said.
He also wrote, “In hindsight I may have been too aggressive with him.”

He then asked others what they thought of what had happened. (He didn’t share where the incident happened or anything more about the dog owner.)
Fox News Digital reached out to a New York-based psychologist for insight into the incident.
On Reddit, many people agreed with their opinion.
“You had the overreaction of the century.”
Nearly 6,000 people responded to the post; some 3,000 responses poured in.

One commenter wrote that the pet owner “shouldn’t have let his dogs run loose in a non-dog park” — but then addressed the original Reddit poster with an unvarnished comment.
A man writing on Reddit didn’t appreciate it when some young dogs charged at his son during a park picnic. However, the man didn’t get much sympathy on Reddit given his strong response. “Man sounds a bit irrational and immature,” one commenter said of the post. (iStock)
“You had the overreaction of the century of ‘bluntly telling him you hate his dog’ and swearing continuously, especially next to your kid,” the person wrote.

Someone else wrote bluntly, “I actually hate kids for the most part. I’ve never yelled at a parent when their free-range toddler waddled over and tried to talk to me. I just said, ‘Bye bye’, walked away.. … and that is even offensive to most parents.”
This particular commenter added, “I can’t imagine what the reaction would be if I picked up my bag and ran screaming at the parent to contain their brat because ‘I HATE YOUR CHILD!'”

Another person shared a different point of view. “I love all animals, but untrained, rampant puppies running off to a picnic with a six-month-old baby is a recipe for disaster.”
Someone else wrote: “It’s keep swearing and carrying[ing] on and scream[ing]”I hate your dogs,” that’s the problem.”
Someone else said of the original poster, “Man sounds a bit irrational and immature.”
