Dog Section- Your biggest pet peeves in Questions?
What can you absolutely not stand (grammar, content, anything-wise) when browsing through questions here?
Ex: I hate when people spell every single word wrong. I understand a few mistakes, but there is a line there somewhere.
Legit: As Groomers, how much do you expect to be tipped on a dog? As clients, how much do you tip your groomer?

Okay, so my groomer add on was so I could learn a bit.
Our newest addition is a Standard Poodle/Golden mix and I left the groomer a $10 tip. I didn't feel like I tipped enough (he did a GREAT job) but this is also the first time I've ever had to use a groomer.

Pet Peeve: when people are completely closed minded and refuse to learn something new
Legit: Depends on the service. Just to get his nails clipped, I tip $3 (because it makes it an even $10, which is easy LOL). For a bath, ears and teeth brushed in addition to the nails I tip $15 (because it makes an even $60 LOL)
I cant stand the breeding questions...Now I know this is an answers forum but I just get peeved. Obviously these people aren't qualified to be breeding and I just don't like the fact that these people are basically playing with lives.For what? for money?for experimentation?its just disgusting.Its not about the betterment of the breed or the health of the dogs.These people put the mother at risk and the puppies...also its like why don't you look up the question before you ask because the same question has been asked a million times DAILY!
I tip my groomer 5-15 dollars on occasion(maybe if I ask for a special cut or something)...I get my dogs groomed on a regular basis(every 3months for my yorkies,7-8weeks for my toy poodle) plus they already have pretty good coats and are easy to groom(as far as they like it and arent hard to handle) so I feel like im a reliable client and don't always have to tip...That sounds cheap lol...but I tip more then not.Its just that whole trip usually ends up costing $130+.
Spelling, abbreviations, grammar etc. (I try to make sure mine is all correct) Asking questions that should be directed at a Vet. All the teacup, hybrid crap ( I get so sick of saying that teacups are for drinking tea and a Hybrid is a merging of two species, not 2 breeds) Asking questions about breeding after the deed is done, has anyone ever heard of research? All the ignorant crap being said about Pits and other Bullies. Some People in general bother me, same ignorant crap coming from there mouths every time. They never bother to learn anything new. People that are just rude, ignorant , uninformative, etc... I know some of the people above have the same issues as me. Losing some of my contacts, I really look forward to questions they post and the answers they give. Legit: I never take them to a groomer, but will make sure I tip if I do, did not know they got them.
What should I name my new dog?, How do I convince my mom, dad, uncle, etc to let me have a dog?, I'm looking for a purebred ickypoo or ickydoodle. Where can I find one for $50?, What is the best food to feed my dog?, and those are the ones that drive me the craziest.
Legit: As a former groomer, I liked getting tips however, I didn't expect or demand them. To me they were a reward for a job well done. If someone were to do a good job grooming my dogs, I'd tip them at least 10%.
