rob190364 2,594 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Just thought I'd share my little irritation of the day, (bare in mind this is from a very intellent bloke who is the managing director of an IT company)... Went into the office this morning and as I walked in and started making myself a brew I heard our IT consultant talking to one of the directors, he hadn't heard me come in. For some reason he was telling her about his new pet ferrets, he was saying how he used to have pet rats but got ferrets this time cos he was fed up of the rats leaving trails of urine around the house (rats walking round the house????? ). One of the girls asked him if he goes hunting with them and he said no, she told him that I go hunting with mine.....and then it starts, conversation, went as follows (all with me listening in from the next room): "A lot of people use ferrets for hunting but they're not supposed to be for hunting, they are a domestic animal. People use them, but it's not natural for the ferret to hunt , they are supposed to be pets the same as another other domestic animal such as dogs, cats etc. If you start trying to use ferrets for hunting there's a very good chance they'll either get stuck, or you'll put them down a hole and they'll just disappear and you'll have no idea where they've gone. It's a common misconception that the purpose of ferrets being domesticated is for hunting, they will hunt, but they don't want to". A couldn't stand it any longer so walked in and told him I've never heard such a load of shite in my entire life. Annoyingly he insisted he's right and started trying to lecture me on the ins and outs of ferrets, he's had them for less than 3 months, I've had them for 28 years!! Next part of conversation: "Ferrets make brilliant pets (AGREED!), the only downside to them is the smell (AGAIN, AGREED), they work in the same way as a skunk (ERM!), in that if they're in the kitchen on the floor, and I accidently drop a plate or a cup, they'll spray me with scent in the same way a skunk would". At this point, thankfully I got a phone call so didn't hear the rest of the conversation. How staggeringly ignorant can you possibly get!!! After he'd gone I spent the rest of the day ranting on about how a f'ckin mong he is. He also said after these die they're not going to get any more pets, at which point I informed him that ferrets live for 12 years + so he'll 60 when they die....or if he comes in the office spouting shite again when I'm there they just might outlive him!!!! Just thought I'd share it, it still winds me up now just thinking about it! 1 Quote Link to post
