Being accused of stealing my dog

[Lukehunt 15]

basically im pissed off, i was walking my dog round the usual fields and walked past a barn that i have permission to shoot my air rifle, this is the only place i have permission to shoot on at the minuite as im just starting out. so i walked past and the farmer stopped me as he was about to drive out the barn in his 4x4 and asked me in an angry voice a load of questions like "is that your dog?" "when did i buy it?" "who did i buy it off" etc etc then just sped off without a goodbye or nothing. Basically hes trying to say iv nicked her... im sick of it to be honest, iv only had permission there about 2 month. Iv been going down alot to try get on his good side but everytime i ask him a question or try make conversation im getting one word answers then he walks off... im young but there no need to accuse me of thieving my dog and treating me like a retard. i dont want to be on his bad side as its the only place i can shoot but im not going to be made a mug of. sake.

Maybe he was just trying to make conversation with you............

To be honest mate, if he thought you were a young dickhead, he wouldnt give you shooting permission. Some farmers are just funny buggers and can come across very off and grumpy.

 

or maybe the dog is nicked if you bought it in?

by giving me 20 questions about my dog? without a hi or a goodbye? i try talk to him all the time im there so he doesnt think im some wierdo but he shows no interest what so ever so why would he now?

True, shes a pup of my uncles litter mate shes most certainly not nicked :s

some farmers are a bit strange like that,just grumpy f@ckers, its just how they are, once they get to know you proper they are ok.

Aye I know alot of farmers who at first glance seem like dick heads but you just get used to them most are tired and got a million things to do and don't socialise much, it kind of comes with the job not having much time so don't be put off by it, like ideation said he's shown you enough respect already by letting you shoot on there so it's not all bad

Sounds like a right grumpy c**t , id put him straight though otherwise u could be treated like a mug by this guy untill it pisses you off that much you give up the permission

[Lukehunt 15]

to be honest i wouldnt be too bothered but i think i deserve a little respect? and he could atleast have the decency to say hi when i come instead of blanking me. I was actually thinking about asking him if i could set a live rat trap up in his barn but i think im in his bad books now so f**k that

Aye time is money and all that, especially to farmers , at end of day you got the permission that's all that counts, that's all I'd care about

[Ideation 8,216]

Aye what a total c**t, the bloke lets you shoot on his land, but doesnt stop and make polite conversation with you. b*****d

 

Ferret features - its going to go down real well a kid giving shit to an older bloke who has given him permo!

[Lukehunt 15]

i dont give a shit about him talking to me, its the fact hes accusing me about nicking my dog... i respect the fact he has given me permission thats why i havnt said anything already, but hes a ignorant c**t he has no respect for me what so ever

i think you are perhaps a bit sencative ,farmers are notorious for being awkward and susspicious .did you ask him if you could take the dog with you ,or just do it , perhaps you should have asked him if he would mind if you take the dog ,instad of just what to some may appear ,to take advantage and just take it ,,
