The awkward situation faced by many dog walkers crossing paths when one is on a lead, the other isnt (although many variants are possible with more than one dog per owner.)
The dog owner who has not put their dog on a lead is worried that the owner who has put their dog on a lead is cosidering them to not be in adequate control of their animal.
Likewise the owner who has their dog on a lead may feel they are not giving the dog enough freedom.
Normally resolves itself in one of 3 ways.
1. The non leaded dog owner says 'He's friendly' and the comment is confirmed by the dogs behaviour.
2. The non leaded dog annoys the leaded dog, the leaded dog owner expressed disapproval and apologies are made usually ('Hes normally SOOOOOO friendly!')
3. The owner of the non leaded dog puts their dog on a lead.

Roommate: Yes... but why the fuck would you want to do that?
Me: Because... *facepalm*

Get the no lead in their pencilmug. AKA: Shift Lead Fever
Pronounced: (LEED FEEVUR)
When a shift lead or a coworker on a higher pay scale constantly calls out of work due to their sick time paying well enough to live on with little to no consequences as a result.
Can also be used as a way to say somebody at work is faking being sick.

Josh called out of work for the 5th time this month! Our boss wont punish him because he’s a senior technician and “cant afford to lose him”. Must be Lead Fever.

Get the Lead Fevermug. The name of the demographic cohort between the "Silent" generation and "Generation X," currently called the "Baby Boomer" generation. After the waning of Baby Boomer political power, approx 2030-2040, the newly predominant Millennial generation will update the name of the Baby Boomer generation to the Leaded Generation.
This new name will describe the generation's selfish and misguided behavior, as well imply the causal link between poor decision making and exposure to lead sources (such as lead paint and leaded gas) which were common pollutants prior to the Clean Air Act and other regulatory action.
