OP, a 23-year-old woman, recently rescued a skittish puppy named Daisy and attended her aunt Anna’s birthday party, leaving Daisy at home due to her fear of new people. Upon meeting her cousin’s new girlfriend, also named Daisy, OP made a lighthearted joke about sharing the same name, unintentionally upsetting the girlfriend who insisted that her name was for people, not dogs. Despite attempts to diffuse the situation, OP’s cousin and his family demanded that she change her puppy’s name to accommodate the girlfriend’s discomfort, citing it as the first time the cousin has brought a girl home and claiming OP’s refusal is insensitive. While OP offered to apologize for any unintentional offense caused, she adamantly refused to change the puppy’s name, seeing it as an unreasonable request and believing the girlfriend’s reaction to be an overreaction.
So keep scrolling down below to read the whole story narrated by OP and make sure to read it till the end otherwise, you won’t be able to connect to the story below.
1. OP asks whether she’s an A-hole for joking about her dog sharing its name with her cousin’s girlfriend.
2. OP has a puppy named Daisy which is 7 months old. OP rescued her from a shelter and her previous owner neglected Daisy. She is severely underweight. Recently it was OP’s aunt’s birthday so she left Daisy with her housemate as she thought she wouldn’t like new people.
3. OP’s extended family was invited including his cousin’s new girlfriend. When they met for the first time she told OP that her name was Daisy she told her so was her puppy’s name. She got offended and said her name was for people and not dogs.
4. Later OP’s cousin texted her that she was rude to her girlfriend and she needed to change her puppy name. OP said she could apologize to her but she could not change her puppy’s name.
5. OP now wants to know whether she’s an A-hole for doing this but she thinks she is being insensitive as it is a weird request and she’s overreacting.
6. They are acting childish I mean how sensitive can you be and how much of a dumb person they are.
7. I agree with this user completely. OP rarely sees them and even if she sees them regularly still it doesn’t make sense to change her dog’s name.
8. they are the ones who are weirdos. NTA.
9. Entitled people are the worst.
10. That’s a good solution she can change her name.
11. Not even a single person said OP is an A-hole which sums up a lot of problems.
12. I think she needs some therapy.
13. Hehe a cute little reply.
14. Maybe this could be the case that she doesn’t like dogs.
15. A very odd thing I would say.
16. It is pretty ridiculous and they are literally on another level of entitled.
17. I can guarantee she never had a dog.
18. I am laughing, see nobody got offended.
19. Daisy is one of a dog I assume.
20. This user is speaking facts.
