As a big slobbery dog owner, a 150 pound Newfoundland, a few things to consider .....

1. If you go on vacation and need someone to watch your dog. Having a huge dog is a real issue. Our dog is the sweetest boy, but he is strong as a god damn ox so that rules my mom out from taking care of him because the 1% chance he wants to run after a dog or try and run out of the gate there is nothing she can do to stop him.

2. Slobbering. If it's not your dog people do not want to deal with insane amounts of slobber. So you can't really take them out and about. Shake their head and huge slobber gobs go flying 15 feet in any direction

3. Bathing and routine grooming take SOOOOOOO much longer. And are so much more imortant.

Still I love big dogs. Will probably go with something less slobbery and hairy next time though. Although our Newfie is the best dog we've ever had personality and temperment wise. He is just a lot more work.

That looks like a St Bernard in the picture.

The slobber is the worst part imo.

I'm a huge dog lover and slobber simply comes with loving dogs so I can deal with it better than most. But many many people can't deal with the slobber from my experiences.

Edit: after clicking on the picture for a better look I see the color isn't that of a st Bernard.

I really can't stand it when a computer monitor is up high and tilted down. I don't want my monitor looking down on me.
 
I have fall allergies. Sagebrush and ragweed from what my Dr told me, but I didn't do an actual allergy test, he just made a guess based on my symptoms. Seems legit as I get very congested in the fall SOME years. Not all years, but some. And this didn't begin until I was well into my 30s. So, onto my pet peeve...

Sometimes I mention that I have fall allergies. There's a certain type of person who seems absolutely compelled to respond to that with a boastful declaration that they DO NOT HAVE ANY ALLERGIES!!! YARGH!

Cool ****ing story. You must be a superior specimen of the human species. Thanks for saying that in a way that implies I'm like ****ing defective or whatever because I get congested for 6 weeks 1 out of every 2-3 years (often I get through a fall season without any symptoms).

People would not brag to a cancer patient that they themselves do not have cancer. It is a bit insensitive to point out good health to a sick person. I hope I've never done that, but fear I may have.

Trump would. He likes people who don't get cancer.

I have similar one when I tell people I am partially color blind and they start asking me "Oh, so what color do you see here?" pointing at some part of their clothes etc.

My son is red-green colorblind, and he gets this all the time. Of course within our own family we hounded him for a long time after we discovered this. We fount out in an accidental way. I had just done a color and hearing test at my work, so when I went home I thought my kids might find the color part interesting, so I found a bunch of the dot-number pattern cards and we went through it. My 3 younger were there at first, at the dinner table, and they all got them right. Then my oldest came in the room, he was maybe 13 at this time. I held up 2 or 3 and he got them right, then I hit the red-green cards and he was saying stuff that we all thought he was joking. Then he started to get upset saying "no that is what it says, you are all messing with me" and I knew he was being serious. We ran through all of them and noted his responses then looked it up and he is red-green colorblind, in fact I believe it was a mild to moderate deutan colorblindness. Googled it, yes that was it.

And yes it drives him nuts for the most part when people do this to him. But he also has fun with it and messes with people or catches us all off-guard with off-hand comments, and such. At a yard sale once my wife asked him to bring her the red book, or something, and he came back with a blue toy or something. She said, what the heck is this? And he said, eh, I'm colorblind.
