i fully understand that everyone has there right to an opinion and that everyone is individual and so likes and dislikes different things.. So the girl I'm training up to do my job when i leave said to me and my colleague whilst my colleague was asking how Ditto was after his fight with Skitt, "i dont see the point in guineapigs" {:| (ive already taken a dislike to her anyway as she is very rude and tuts with impatience at my elderly clients).. I asked why and she went on to say " because whats the point in them? You cant do anything with them. They just sit there squeeking. There pointless pets that kids have you cant fo anything with them can you." so i was not impressed by her outbursts i replied with "well i think they are fun and loving little animals that both kids AND adults can love and id appreciate it if you didnt slag off my pet whilst in my car." and she just replied with "dont you think its a bit childish owning a guineapig" with a smirk on her face. So i replied with " dont you think slaggin my pet off and being a ***** with me to my face whilst your in my car is a little childish?!" by this point she could see i was not happy and so shut up. God the cheek though! How rude!
 
Yes too right i am only 22 myself but this girl is 18 very cocky and arrogant and is not suitable to be a carer its just a job for money to her because theres no other jobs for them these days. But i thought how rude it was for her to bad mouth my choice of pet .. I mean all she had to say was I'm not keen on guineapigs or even better not say anything at all!? It was a conversation between me and my colleague! Tut tut. Cant wait until todays over and havent got to see her again
 
I think I would have kicked her out the car too. Whenever anyone says to me "aren't they a bit boring" I always answer with a smile "it's clear you've never owned a guinea pig"
 
One of my old colleagues said something similar..."what's the point in guinea pigs?". I didn't take offence as such to it as each to their own and all that, but she did come round my house once and was fascinated by them. Loved Archie with his long, messy hair :)). They just don't know what fun, little creatures they are as they have obviously never owned one.

My colleague wasn't as rude as yours though so I do understand why you took offence to it. Silly cow! :))
 
Personally i'd have said "i don't see the point in giving you a lift when you have legs" then stop the car open her door and set her loose :)
 
God I hate people like that! At least we all know here that Guinea Pigs are lovely exciting pets to own, my friends all love my Guinea Pigs too! :p
 
o i have the same off one of the girls in work with me, not many people like her anyway & she said that she could never have guinea pigs in her house because they could pass diseases onto my boy & she could never have them crapping everywhere, she said she hates pets anyway & has cleaned her sons goldfish bowl out with bleach to kill them as she hates them but they are still alive!
i was like aaarrgghhhh! i nearly lunged at her!
i was showing the other girls photos of my son cuddling one of my pigs in a piggie sleeping bag & she was disgusted
i just call her sad & her kids will never know what its like to own & care for & love an animal
we have had hamsters of all sorts , mice, rats, a dog & goldfish
i think its important for children to be brought up with pets
 
It's bad manners to slag off anything (pets, hobbies, lifestyle choices) that another person obviously holds dear to them.

Some people should just have a mute button.
 
Some of my work colleauges couldnt believe i had my piggies for xmas off my other half ! they all said about them being for my little boy. he has 2 goldfish though.the does like to lie on the sofa watching tv with one of the piggies on him :)
 
I'm always getting grief for having them, and even more so now that we have 9.

I just tell them to go and jump and that I don't care what they think.
 
We love our piggies and we are 28 and 29! (I'm the older one)

She's just jealous she cannot find fun and nice things to fill her life with.
