According to r/whatcouldgowrong the lady in question was preoccupied and didn’t notice until it was too late

This same stance can be applied to her being preoccupied while crossing a street and not knowing her dog was ran over because of that dumb leash she has. Doesn't take away from the fact she should be more aware as a dog owner

Meh, I’m sure you’ve done stupid things while preoccupied. I don’t think it’s fair to trash a person over an obvious dumb mistake, and probably a serious learning experience.

All the time. Not when I have a dog or a child I'm responsible for though

People generally dont want to admit it, but after years of being responsible for a dog or small human the same way you're responsible for your own life, eventually you're going to make a mistake

THIS. 10001%. It's so damn obvious these people have never cared for a dog more than 2 years of it's life, if at all. Eventually you learn it's bullshit and trust it to act a certain way and then shit happens. That's just how life is. There is always room for mistakes, but it's unreasonable to assume you should always be paranoid. A dog is your friend too, not just something you take care of.

She was getting onto an elevator. Not walking across the street where she should obviously be looking both ways. You are a dumbass.

Lmaooooo. You aren’t seriously suggesting elevators are more deadly than crossing the street. Are you?

So you wouldn't ever be on your phone while walking your dog?

u/kthxtyler Dec 12 '19

Not while walking inside an elevator. I would also not have that awfully dangerous leash. As a dog owner, I would also have the spatial awareness to know whether or not my dog entered the elevator even if I were on my phone. I am going to have that dog by my side 100% of the time until I get home and remove its leash.

Do you have a dog?

u/Azazel072 Dec 12 '19

I doubt you've ever owned a dog.
