Try not to take it personally. They might not have been refering to you at all.

True story - several months ago I took Jan into the vet. I had put a towel in her carrier for her to sit on.

As I opened the door to the vets office, I was hit with the smell of pee - and I thought to myself - this place is really starting to go downhill. It wasn't until I was back in an exam room that I realized that Jan had peed in her carrier just as we went in the building.

Then 10 minutes later my husband came in and his first reaction when he entered the building .."smells like pee - this place is really starting to go downhill"
