I don't know if I would have been pissed too if I was telling about my dog having a terrible dental procedure and someone started telling me about their kid's dental challenges. Possibly of course.
I might have done the same thing as the person did - it would have been an attempt to relate and I probably, without more, would not understand what had pissed the person off.
Ah well - the farmer and the cowman should be friends. One man likes to push a plow; the other likes to chase a cow - that ain't no reason why they can't friends.
