After My Female Coworker Got Pregnant from Hitching a Ride with Me, She Demanded My Dog Be Put Down

After my upstairs colleague, who often mooches rides from me, got pregnant, she demanded that I have my dog put down.

“What if your dog runs around and bites me, and I miscarry?”

“What if all the parasites and toxoplasma on your dog give my baby birth defects?”

“And I still need rides from you. What if your dog’s germs get on you and you bring them into the car?”

Her endless questions left me completely dumbfounded. I hugged my tiny, adorable little dog and found her words utterly ridiculous.

“If you’re worried, stop mooching rides from me. And I’m not your roommate, so whether I have a dog has nothing to do with you.”

But I never expected her to fly into a rage. She started ranting in the work group chat, painting me as a monster who bullied a pregnant woman and trying to get my colleagues to ostracize me. I laughed in disbelief. Some people just don’t know when to stop, and you can’t keep indulging them.
