Getting angry at the behavior sometimes feeds the behavior

Yes. This.

They’re somehow too stupid to do anything right but smart enough to know how to annoy you to your core.

Roommates/ex’s dog will smack her tail on shit and I KNOW she does it on purpose. Because it’s not the normal “happy” wagging tap rhythm. It’s “WAP……WAP WAP……….WAP……WAPWAPWAP” and no one is paying attention to her so I know she literally does it on purpose and he swears she doesn’t. And then if no one pays attention to her she’ll loudly chew her fucking bone right next to us and stop any time we move a muscle and she thinks someone is about to interact with her. Then go right back to the loud gnawing if we don’t.

I was waiting for a post like this because I absolutely agree lmao. I get gaslit by everyone else but I fucking KNOW they do.
