Some People

I just don't get some people. Do they do what they do because they are attention whores? Chronic liars? Whatever.
Here's what I'm talking about.
I recently broke my finger. It got caught in the collar of my humongous monster dog and snapped. No biggie. Its all wrapped up so when at work I have to field the same question over and over again. 'What happened to your finger?"
Again, no biggie.
So, I give a quick run down of how my gargantuan 100lb. puppy broke my finger. Which always, inevitably leads to the question; "What kind of dog is it?"
So, for the record he's a white german shepard / wolf hybrid. A big, pretty, dumb, smelly dog. He just turned a year old and has some more growing to do.
Now, let me take a moment to branch out and tell you something else. My wife babysits two kids for a lady who works in civilian capacity at the prison I do. One day, she decided to take a picture of the two year old kid she babysits, standing next to our big dire dog to give a sense of how big the dog is getting.
Here's the picture, my wife gave a copy of it to the kid's mom:
Well anyways. Back on topic. I'm explaining for the 100th time to someone at work the broken finger / what kind of dog I have story when the office goes, "Oh! Mrs. "X" has a dog like that too!" (Mrs. "X" being the woman my wife babysits for).
Knowing Mrs. X, I correct the officer and inform them no, she doesn't have a dog. The reply? "Oh yes she does. She's been going around showing a picture of it and her son to everyone."
Ah, I see. Its a misunderstanding. The picture is of her kid, but not her dog. I correct the officer on making the mistake of assuming it was her dog, and informed them that in fact it was my dog.
The officer screws up her face and informs me that Mrs. X has spent the past several days showing off the new picture of her dog. Then had another officer confirm that indeed Mrs. X was bragging about her dog and what she feeds him and what she does with him.
WTF.....
Hell, brag about your kid! He's in the damn picture! Are you that much of an attention whore that you have to concoct dog stories for a dog you don't own?
Its not a huge deal. It was just another reminder as to why humans irritate me at times.
