i was maybe 12 or 13 and my mum and i were volunteering at a farm that rescued old/abused farm animals. we were sitting in a circle with the owners and other volunteers, and they started going around the circle saying how long they had been vegan. i was not vegan, never had been vegan, and am not vegan even now, and i said that. every person there (all adults) gave me intense stares and side-eyes, and one owner told me that i should think about how much i liked animals when i was eating them.
anyway, we got on to volunteering and it was going well until lunchtime. i had gotten mud in my boots, so my socks were muddy, and i was trying to clean them. two women in their 20s came over and asked me if i wanted a new pair of socks. i refused at first, but they insisted, so i said okay. they then said that the socks were out in their car, and i should come with them to get the socks out of their trunk. i said that i didn’t need them that badly, but they were very pushy about getting socks from their vehicle, which was ‘just near the end’ of the farm’ insanely long driveway.
i kept refusing until i had to say that i was going to find my mum, because they still insisted. so, i got up and left (quickly) with my muddy socks.
i later found out from my mum that these people shoved pedestrians in busy cities into booths with slaughterhouse videos running, in order to ‘spread awareness’. they were also infamous for their hundred-person ‘gatherings’ on their farm.
i ended up not telling my mum about the two women until maybe a year ago and she was very shocked.

yes my family is crazy. the feud was so bad, my father is chaotic narcissist, and my mother was a depressive narcissist. they were always relocating and running away from my mamas parents bc they disapproved of my papa nd resulted in a lot of ppl traumatized. but ev one is civil now.

when i was 6 i loved to read and found a womans magazine lying around my grandparents house. it had a lot of graphic sexual content like how to effectively masturbate as a woman and how to finger/eat a man’s ass. my mama went to pick me up and found me casually reading this magazine in the dining room and she got so mad at my grandparents for leaving me unsupervised. that led me to my research abt sex and probs why i was sexually awakened at a young age.

when a 40 something man called and screamed at the top of his lungs at me , the type of scream I’ve only received before from my mother, because I told him we were booked and he would have to take his dog to the emergency vet (I’m a vet tech) and he was screaming threats at me and said his whole family goes to my hospital and they’ll never go again blah blah blah. but he didn’t know his mom LOVED ME. and she made him call back and apologize the next day.
ALSO. one time this guy came in and was like. can you scan this dog for a microchip, I took my dog to a board and train facility and when I went to pick him up they gave me this dog , and this is NOT my dog… and he tried to tell the place that but they gaslit him and he was hours from home and it was getting late and he had to work in the morning so he took the dog, and it wasn’t his dog , they sent his dog home with someone else. Dogs were swapped back it all ended well
my job is always crazy, crazy clients, crazy animals, dealing with euthanasias everyday, and when I have to cut animals or pets heads off to send them out for rabies testing
