I swear dog holders are some of the most inconsiderate assholes on the planet.
They'll gladly and knowingly put other people's safety as risk, if it makes the handling of their dog a tiny bit more convenient. They're sometimes even worse than car drivers in this regard.
@aesthr I was thinking of starting a service that lets dog owners who foolishly purchased those awful extendable/retractable leash cords send them in to be swapped for free, high quality, 6ft/2m leashes, just pay $999.99 shipping
