    There is always an exception. One of my older coworkers once came in to work with a sprained ankle. I asked why and he said he got it from kicking a dog, with zero remorse in his expression. I wish I had not asked. I knew he was weird but that detail cemented my opinion of him.

      Maybe the dog was about to attack a small child.

      I’ve seen someone poke a dog in the ass with a stick. They were a hero. Dog was latched on to someone’s leg.

        Yeah it’s possible it was a defensive move. But I don’t think he framed it that way, and I would absolutely be sure to clarify why I kicked a dog if that were the truth. Honestly I would probably lie to avoid having to explain that.

        Sadly this was a while ago and I don’t remember if I asked for more details. I just remember it was super awkward.
