Oh yeah, it's really annoying! My personal gripe (and apologies if he's on here) is the guy who LARPS as a shepherd on Hilly Fields with two incredibly well-trained sheepdogs. He walks around with them, off lead, but if another dog has the temerity to look to engage them with play he orders them both to lie-down and glowers at the owner (often me) until they have got their dog away from them. I mean, the unwritten rule is that offlead dogs can interact with each other (and Owen is the gentlest of greeters, offering his belly to any dog he can get close enough to) but it feels like shepherd-guy just wants to show-off his superior dog control, at the expense of his poor dogs who clearly want to play but have to obey at all costs.

it is annoying when someone rocks up and interrupts a play session though, often I'll get two or three throws of the ball in before someone has brought their "must be leashed at all times" dog into the park and I have to leash benny so he doesn't act like a dog and try to interact with them.
always feels like they make a beeline straight for the bit of the park we're in too just to prove some weird point.
