Picture this: you’re out for a morning jog, minding your own business, and suddenly you spot the most adorable puppy you’ve ever seen! You can’t help but ask the owners if you can say hello. After a few minutes of cuddling and bonding with the pup, you notice the wife is getting irritated. Turns out, they also have a baby with them, and the wife is upset that you didn’t acknowledge her newborn. Now you’re left wondering if you were really rude or not. Let’s dive into this story and see what happened!

Puppy Love vs. Baby Drama: Was I Rude?
Our protagonist (24F) was enjoying a morning jog when she encountered a couple with an adorable puppy. She couldn’t resist saying hello and spent a few minutes bonding with the pup, which brought her comfort after recently losing her childhood dog. However, the wife became irritated, accusing her of being ‘beyond rude’ for not acknowledging their newborn baby. Our jogger doesn’t have the same instant warm feelings towards babies as she does for animals, but she doesn’t dislike them either. The husband intervened and ushered his wife away, leaving our protagonist questioning if she was actually rude. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
