>This policy of allowing dog is pushed by a majority that cannot understand that some of us simply don't like dogs at all.

Should we also ban roses, because some people don't like them? How about no meat at the workplace because it could bother vegans?

There has to be some kind of compromise by everyone if people want to share a place. Be it accepting that some people love dogs, hate roses,....

At the end, if the majority likes something, you are on the losing end in a shared environment at least (as bad as that sounds). One could also argue it is rather selfish that you want a shared environment to suit your needs only.

If something bothers you that much then you have to somehow find a compromise. Maybe you can sit away from the dog owner coworkers or something or create "dog areas" and "no-dog areas." (Another compromise, like I mentioned).

If roses moved around, barked, and pooped on the floor, then hell yeah. Otherwise, that analogy sucks.

That's already the case if your office is a WeWork.

Did you just compare a dog with roses and vegan food in terms of annoyance?

I think we can all agree that dogs are obnoxious, take space, smell ,make noises, attack etc. Probably a factor a 1000 in annoyance

And for the record, I would not bring roses at work if it annoys one of my colleagues. Seriously those things are not even comparable though.

And for the record, you represent perfectly the dog owner that we all hate, that cannot understand that some of us are anxious around dogs. You think as if your dog must have all the rights and be treated as someone special

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with dogs, but this is crossing into flamewar and even getting personal. Please don't do that on HN. It's enough to express your view and leave it at that.

First of all, stop talking for others.

You hate dogs. Not we.

Second, I don't let my dog roam around and I am very well aware of people being anxious, but clearly you just hate on anything with dogs and are ranting here.

> First of all, stop talking for others.

Take your own advice. Sure, you think your dog is no problem, but you can't speak for every other dog owner.

You can safely assume that there is a group he is speaking for.
