17 Things You Didn't Know You Could Rent

I hate the idea of dog rental.  It sounds like Canine prostitution to me.  If you want a dog and  aren't sure what breed you want (if you're a breed snob, like me) then go to a dog show and talk to the people who are showing, or to a dog park and engage the owners in conversation.  People love to talk about their dogs.  If you want the companionship of a dog occationally but can't afford it or your landlord won't allow it, then go to a shelter and volunteer.  These poor rented dogs are bounced from one person to the next and probably have no idea what's going on or who their master is.  Dogs are pack animals and want to be with their pack.  They are not nomads.

I'm also not crazy about the wife rental.  I get the concept and think it's brilliant, however not so crazy about the title.  Seems a bit sexist to me. 

RENTING DOGS? That's horrible!!!! If you wan to see if you are allergic to dogs, GO TO A BREEDER AND SPEND TIME THERE! Dogs are like humans. It's like being a foster child (in this case dog) and being taken from one home to another and when you finally find one you love you have to go spend time with someone who wants to see how their family 'reacts' to dogs! :(

Isn't that like animal cruelty?

Some of these suggestions are ludicrous or downright offensive.  Paying 1/3 the price of an iPhone to rent it for ONE WEEK is an absolutely ridiculous waste of money.  Renting sex dolls?  Ewwwwwwwwwww.  Renting dogs?  I'll just say I feel the same as prior posters, it seems cruel to the animal.  But I have to laugh that so many more people are offended by the idea of renting a dog than they are the idea of renting a wife!  Because, obviously, a wife is someone who will clean, cook, organize, plan events, and otherwise be a faithful servant....disgusting.  There's nothing wrong with hiring someone to do these jobs, or being the person that feeds their family through this kind of work (I worked as a housekeeper through college) but I'm horrified that we still consider wives as domestic slaves.
