Need Pet sitter maybe 2 nites a week<\/h2>\n
\n

I’m a sales guy that travels about 2 nites a week for work. I am looking for someone or preferably a couple that loves dogs and would like my dog Forest’s company. He is ZERO trouble, sits on your lap like your best friend and only wants his tummy scratched as much as he can get it done lol<\/p>\n

\nIf your going to reply with how much does it pay, don’t reply, i need someone to watch him that isn’t looking to make money off him<\/p>\n

a retired couple would be best as he loves being outside walking if possible or a fenced yard. Also he’d prefer no children. <\/p>\n

thanks,
\njeff

Translation: I need a pet sitter, but I’m not willing to pay for the service. <\/p>\n

What’s awful about this is that I can think of a lot of ways he could have spun this request that would have made it slightly less asshattish. For example, he could have said, “I know that elderly couples enjoy having animals around, so I would be willing to leave my dog with you a couple of nights a week while I am at work.” It still has the same meaning — i.e., I’m not willing to pay for a sitter — but it’s not as bad as “Don’t reply if you want pay because I’m not paying you.” <\/p>\n
