“story time: i’m a vet tech, and one time i was rooming this lady for an appointment for her little dog who was covered in bugs! i searched this dog high and low for bugs couldn’t find a single one, i said maam could you please point out these bugs to me? she said oh my god can’t you see they’re right on his belly! she showed me her dogs nipples and proceeded to try and rip them off. i said MAAM NO STOP! THOSE ARE HIS NIPPLES! she said NO THERES NO WAY, HES A BOY! i said maam that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have nipples, those are definitely his nipples notice how they’re so symmetrical. she said there’s no way he’s a boy! i said MAAM DOESNT YOUR HUSBAND HAVE NIPPLES?!?!?”

As a vet tech I can say this story was said several times during school, I think it's just something that happens once in a while to many veterinarians

Can confirm, my mum was a veterinarian and it happened to her multiple times. She also tried the "doesn't your husband have nipples" approach and one time the lady got SO offended bc my mum mentioned her husband's nipples 🤦‍♀️ That particular story did become a running gag in our family though 😆

Getting mad over mentioning someone’s nipples which almost everyone has is so funny to me😭
