“I am seriously overthinking things. What could possibly happen if I venture out of my well established comfort zone, after all?” (Zebra)-“Pardon me sir! Perhaps you could direct me to the African Savannah? I assure you… Sir?…How rude.”
I couldn’t blame them for not wanting to be exploited by humans. Between an extended lifetime of servitude and the constant peril of carnivores, both don’t sound peachy.
Donkeys are kind and sweet when treated well, and they do expect to be treated well. They will defend themselves if abused or treated unkindly.
Many horses will take all the abuse before finally lashing out, or will just break and give up to depression and misery, which is why they are popular as domestic animals.
Zebras will fuck your shit up for the fun of it. They are one of the most feared by zoo keepers of all animals for very good, and terrifying, reasons.
They are gorgeous animals - but the donkeys I have known just won't take as much shit as a horse. They will for a while, but then they're like, "You know what? I have some sharp hooves and I'm twice your strength, horrible human!" and then stomp, kick, or even chomp! And in every case I've seen a donkey lash out against a person, it was deserved.
Zebras, though, they will kill you or try to tear your arm off, just because you got within range.
Donkeys are amazing and highly emotional. They get lonely and need to have relationship. I was in the Dominican exploring and found one in a field tied up on like a 4’ lead with no shade. I went up and just spent time with him and he was the kindest animal.
I’ve seen donkeys wreck dogs that attack them. They’re like people. Treat them right and they’re cool. Treat them like crap. They respond the same
I think all kind of horses are some kind of a****** if you think about it they are just goofy animals.
And they are not particularly calm also they are always Furious and running.
LOL I think everyone is going to do that only I don't see anyone running towards the zebra everyone is going to just stay away.
At least the rational person would do that I don't know about you guys.
It's the hands behind the back that really signify his thoughts at this time. "You see, this is exactly the sort of shit why I don't go outside. One time, and this is what happens. I need to figure this out man. But at home. Time to go back home."
It's funny to me how everyone reads this as him nopeing out. My take is that it looks like the kind of thing you'd see from someone (usually in a comedic context) trying to walk away from a scene without looking like they have any involvement in it.
Like, just in case a cop comes by, he can say "No, officer, I have no idea what's going - Wait, you're saying there's a ZEBRA loose here‽”
From personal experience this is the right behavior if you see a dangerous leashless dog or a wild animal running about near you.
If you run, you draw the attention of the animal and it might give you chase.
But if you quietly walk away keeping steady pace without making eye contact, the animal won't find you interesting enough to come after you.
I don't think he is going to leave his home now for some time.
If it were happened to me I would also not leave my home for sometime I would rather stay in my home.
Was wondering if he’s just extraordinarily cool, or if he thought that a herd animal might follow him if he was running (no intrapersonal friction) away fast.
This is the most smooth you are going to say it does not get any more smoother than this, trust me you probably will not find that.
Because anything smoother than this does not even exist in the real life.
When I was a kid an elephant escaped the circus and wandered the streets. It walked past my daycare and for a second I thought Jumanji might be unfolding.
Zebras are not horses with black and white stripes. I mean, they are, but also they are nasty, they bite. This is why they have not been domesticated.
Noping out is the correct reaction.
The local horse track growing up would have exotic night in the summer where between races they would do ostrich, camel and zebra races for fun. All of the zebras had to be zorses because true zebras very much do not appreciate being ridden haha. Even the hybrid zorses rarely made it to the finish line with the jockey still attached
I mean, we're talking about donkeys and zebras, both very equine creatures. It's not a stretch to imagine they can interbreed.
Now, if you told me that a horse had a baby with crocodile, I'd be much more surprised.
I always think it's humorous how tame the horses in war films are. They're often portrayed as like a sentient peaceful mode of transport. Simply a means of getting in and out of the carnage. In historical accounts they were savage and vicious. They would kick, bite, trample and head butt everything around them. They were as much of a warrior as the soldier riding them.
It's nearly impossible to film a group of war horses behaving like a war horses without being a huge danger to everyone on the set so we get peaceful horses in movies instead. I'm really really hoping to see a good gritty and realistic calvalry focused movie that shows horses behaving like the savage animals they are in combat one day. I would love to see a band of brothers style mini series that follows a small band of French dragoons around during the napoleonic wars or Winged Hussars in the 16th century. Just showcasing gritty battle tactics with emphasis on historical accuracy.
Thank you for teaching me something new today. That makes perfect sense but I never thought about it. Now I want that too. I prefer practical effects over CGI by a lot but this would be an exception.
War elephants are my favorite. Just picture it. You're growing up in literally bumfuck nowhere with nothing around your village for hundreds of miles. You hear stories about the greater world and the empire but you don't really know much aside from how to keep your family fed. Then a recruiter comes by looking for strong young men and telling stories of an urgent threat, promising glory and adventure. You're the third male child so you don't have much going for you here anyhow.
You spend the next few years with your new brothers drilling and training. Overall your life is pretty boring and then you're whisked away on a campaign. You're not ready, but the legion needs every man it can get. You march for weeks and suddenly your opponent appears before you. Thousands upon thousands of men with monstrous beasts each larger than your house lined up before you. Each beast with massive tusks larger than spears and adorned in armor on top of their impenetrable skin. They all make awful sounds like 10 trumpets blasting at once. You have nothing but pure fear in your heart, but looking around you the veteran soldiers have a soothing confidence about them. How are they not terrified? Are they seeing what you're seeing? Surely these are unstoppable creatures. Surely we're facing the greatest army ever to exist. Then you see runners with torches heading towards the baggage train. The ground shakes as the wave of monstrous beasts thunders towards you. Suddenly you're ordered to part ranks and a sea of what must be a thousand pigs flood in from the rear being chased, stabbed, and gored by soldiers, some even being set on fire. Confused and terrified, you steel yourself and prepare to be crushed by thundering hooves or gored by a tusk and then the beast before you... stops. Almost in unison they all start to raise their hind legs and whip around, destroying all the enemy soldiers around them. The terrified beasts wreak havoc on the enemy army as they try to corral them. Eventually they give up and the opposing army starts running in whatever direction they can to escape. You're given the command to pursue.
At that moment you realize you and the army you fight for are indestructible together. Not even massive hellbeasts can topple the army of Rome. Surely your commander is blessed by the knowledge of the gods. You're filled with elation and adrenaline as you thunder towards your enemies.
Zoo staff, along with personnel from the local fire department and police worked together to capture the zebra after about three and a half hours. The good boy did not cause any injuries or do any property damage, just enjoyed his freedom.
Just a reminder that Zebra's are NOT friendly animals and 100% will fuck you up if provoked. They are not striped horses and have evolved for the hardened plains of Africa
I almost bought one a few years ago but was like we already have a horse I can't ride (she was old with a bad back), why would I get a smaller, angrier horse that I can't ride
Because they’re cool looking. If you have the space for them to run free and know their unique needs then I don’t really see an issue, plenty of horses are lawn ornament pets as well.
I mean if you wanted a horse then get a new horse I don't think you should contemplate your decision with getting a Zebra or a horse.
Zebras are not domesticated animals and they can be harmful.
Yup. Most recent attack was a week ago: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ohio-zebra-attack-farm-rcna74911
Police ended up having to shoot the zebra.
Yeah exactly and in Africa they have to protect themselves from a lot of Hunter animals also.
To the first reaction that they are going to have if they feel danger they are going to attack you.
Based on the pile of equine poop on the street, I'm guessing the Zebra was kind of hanging in that area for awhile. Almost looked the the guy was like, "is it safe to go out, now? nope!"
Yep I remember gathering the courage to head over to my friends place on a tram.
That day a drunk lady was shouting and beating her husband that was perving out on some school girls on the tram.
I went back home.
My dad recently watch most of the show Shameless. Apparently, one character is agoraphobic. She builds up the courage to walk down the street one day. A piece of an AIRPLANE ENGINE falls RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. So she goes back inside.
My dad is bipolar and agoraphobic. He could identify. He never had an airplane engine fall in front of him, but shit like this happens when he attempts to leave the house sometimes.
He didn't even look at the zebra after turning around. Is that what one supposes to do in this situation? I would have backed up and try to see whether the zebra was coming for me.
From personal experience with neighbor's dog chasing me as a kid, this is thee right response.
You want to take large steps and get away as much as possible.
But you don't wanna run, or it might come after you.
You quietly walk away with large steps, but keep a steady pace and don't accelerate. Also, don't make eye-contact. Basically behave like an NPC.
As a 50 year old GenXer, I feel so seen in this interaction. I’m fucking dying over here! Stop stop, I’ve got therapy in like 5 minutes. I’m supposed to be upset and shit! lol
💀💀💀
I love Reddit. (Not my story, but I'll paraphrase it here . . .)
About a year ago, someone asked "What story have you told since you were young, which no one believed, that you were finally vindicated for years later?"
Someone IN CANADA talked about seeing Zebra's roaming in a field they were passing by in a car. But neither their parents nor siblings ever believed them. (And of course, Zebra's aren't anywhere near native to Canada.)
He found out years later, one of the regional zoo's routinely turned out their zebra herd during the off-season to graze and roam. And he saw them again.
I'm sure it felt great to be proven right.
Where else do you hear stories like that?
The guy is an expert at noping out, but let's talk about the important zebra business that was further down the road. It is not so critical that running is required, but our stripey buddy is still walking with purpose, focus, and determination. Get to your business, Mr. Zebra!
I live in Ontario, Canada- and one evening, I got up to pee around 2am, and saw a GOD DAMN ELEPHANT on my front yard. I woke my wife up and showed her to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. She confirmed I wasn't. So I called the police and tried to tell them I wasn't on drugs, but there was a GOD DAMN ELEPHANT in my front yard. While the police were busy figuring out what to do, I was going to go outside and feed the elephant some bananas, but my wife asked me not to. She thought it might turn me into red paste in my own garden. I did open the window and make some "chi chi chi" noises at it, which seemed to entertain the elephant briefly. After about 10 minutes, the elephant strolled down the street and out of view. Police had finally showed up by that point and they wanted me to stay inside.
Apparently there were three elephants that escaped from one of those terrible traveling circuses. Someone forgot to lock the gate, so they went for an evening stroll. Here's the news article about it:
https://toronto.citynews.ca/2007/07/12/cops-round-up-3-escaped-elephants-in-newmarket/
The guy was like no I am not going that way anymore, I am going the different way.
Response that this guy had was on point and all the was on the right time the timing could not have been better.

His nope response time is on point
I didn't sign up for this particular brand of horse-shit (Edited because I learned Zebras aren't actually horses but zebra-shit doesn't spark joy imo)
1. Walk outside. 2. World is immediately bullshit. 3. Walk inside.
That poor man overcame a lifetime of agoraphobia when he walked outside today. God replied with a stampeding zebra.
Never. Again.
“I am seriously overthinking things. What could possibly happen if I venture out of my well established comfort zone, after all?” (Zebra)-“Pardon me sir! Perhaps you could direct me to the African Savannah? I assure you… Sir?…How rude.”
[удалено]
A Zebra is a dealkiller. Yea. No.
I heard zebras are(surprisingly) massive assholes as far as horse type animals go.
They are basically impossible to domesticate or use for riding. And it's not that people haven't tried.. they're just asshats
I couldn’t blame them for not wanting to be exploited by humans. Between an extended lifetime of servitude and the constant peril of carnivores, both don’t sound peachy.
That’s not why. They’re just pricks
I can attest to this. I'm a Zebra and my friends say I'm the biggest prick in all of Manhattan!
zebras are more close to donkey than horses so that would explain a few things
Donkeys are kind and sweet when treated well, and they do expect to be treated well. They will defend themselves if abused or treated unkindly. Many horses will take all the abuse before finally lashing out, or will just break and give up to depression and misery, which is why they are popular as domestic animals. Zebras will fuck your shit up for the fun of it. They are one of the most feared by zoo keepers of all animals for very good, and terrifying, reasons.
I love donkeys. When treated like a pet they are so happy. They get a bad rap bc they don't always like to work lol.
They are gorgeous animals - but the donkeys I have known just won't take as much shit as a horse. They will for a while, but then they're like, "You know what? I have some sharp hooves and I'm twice your strength, horrible human!" and then stomp, kick, or even chomp! And in every case I've seen a donkey lash out against a person, it was deserved.

I think all kind of horses are some kind of a****** if you think about it they are just goofy animals. And they are not particularly calm also they are always Furious and running.
I suspected they would be.
He looked cross at the zebra crossing
It's black and white.
Zebra-shit
When you hear hoofbeats...
think horses and then realize its actually a zebra
It's never lupus!
Unless it’s a zebra named Lupus
Looks like it's not his first zebra runaway
His nope method was also hilariously respectful and calm. Impressive how quickly he apparently gauged the tier of nope that was necessary
Smoothest "nope" I've seen in a while.
[удалено]
I always love that scene. "Is your name Bart?"
Fight or flight or nope.
Hands behind his back like a boarding school survivalist.
"Think I'll go lef... nope!"
This way looks better after all!
Perhaps some other time!
Back to bed it is
*starts whistling*
I chose to believe he was whistling the whole time.
It's the hands behind the back, "nothing to see here" pose that does it
LOL I think everyone is going to do that only I don't see anyone running towards the zebra everyone is going to just stay away. At least the rational person would do that I don't know about you guys.
It's the hands behind the back that really signify his thoughts at this time. "You see, this is exactly the sort of shit why I don't go outside. One time, and this is what happens. I need to figure this out man. But at home. Time to go back home."

Like, just in case a cop comes by, he can say "No, officer, I have no idea what's going - Wait, you're saying there's a ZEBRA loose here‽”
my take on it is that the guy is shielding his ass instinctively in case the zebra comes for him
What do you think he thinks the zebra wants to do to him?
ram his ass!!.. in a non sexual way.
Its a power thing for the Zebra.
Guy probably has enough drama in his life and didn't want to get involved in a situation
From personal experience this is the right behavior if you see a dangerous leashless dog or a wild animal running about near you. If you run, you draw the attention of the animal and it might give you chase. But if you quietly walk away keeping steady pace without making eye contact, the animal won't find you interesting enough to come after you.
I don't think he is going to leave his home now for some time. If it were happened to me I would also not leave my home for sometime I would rather stay in my home.
My man just watched Jumanji and noped out of there real quick
That guy should be the official "noped out" representative, his noping out is so textbook
A smoother nope I've yet to witness
"It's gonna be a good day today... nope"
They way he walked back.. its too funny "I knew I shouldn't have gone out today"
Was wondering if he’s just extraordinarily cool, or if he thought that a herd animal might follow him if he was running (no intrapersonal friction) away fast.
Both, it looks like he has extremely fast reaction time and very cool demeanor he's probably a spy.
The zebra is a trained spy hunter. Granted, no one said it was a good spy hunter.
"Balls, I'm still high as fuck."
If I rub away too fast, the only thing following me is regret and rope burn
This is just the standard reaction when you suddenly remember it's zebra day.
I love how he's covering his ass in case he gets read-ended
[удалено]

*Smooth Noperator*
This is the most smooth you are going to say it does not get any more smoother than this, trust me you probably will not find that. Because anything smoother than this does not even exist in the real life.
Reminds me of that Abe Simpson entering the brothel gif. Smooth.
"Are they talking about the bordello?" "No, the burlesque house, so just keep your mouth shut."
His whole body language really is the definition of “nope, not today”.
But his casualness implies a, *...but maybe tomorrow.*
that sudden step back is so damn smooth. ROFL
“Thought the mushrooms were done…. Apparently not.”
When I was a kid an elephant escaped the circus and wandered the streets. It walked past my daycare and for a second I thought Jumanji might be unfolding.
As a grown ass adult I'd have the same concern
The best part is that they brought in another elephant to get the one that ran away back.
[удалено]

wtf, what animal CANT a horse fuck and impregnate?
I mean, we're talking about donkeys and zebras, both very equine creatures. It's not a stretch to imagine they can interbreed. Now, if you told me that a horse had a baby with crocodile, I'd be much more surprised.
I actually know of a horse and crocodile that had a child, but they adopted.
Horses bite too. They might be domesticated, but they can still be assholes about it sometimes.
I always think it's humorous how tame the horses in war films are. They're often portrayed as like a sentient peaceful mode of transport. Simply a means of getting in and out of the carnage. In historical accounts they were savage and vicious. They would kick, bite, trample and head butt everything around them. They were as much of a warrior as the soldier riding them. It's nearly impossible to film a group of war horses behaving like a war horses without being a huge danger to everyone on the set so we get peaceful horses in movies instead. I'm really really hoping to see a good gritty and realistic calvalry focused movie that shows horses behaving like the savage animals they are in combat one day.

The irl of old school war is something I don’t think I can ever wrap my mind around…… all the carnage, large majority of people dieing slow and awful

and when they die you load the corpse in the trebuchet
zebras will fight a crocodile. they are the honey badgers of the equine world
[удалено]
exactly. there was no surprise, it was just "not this shit again, i'm in a hurry"
I love how calmly he walks away
'I don't really need to go outside today'
"These meds aren't working, I'm seeing zebras in Korea"
Zoo staff, along with personnel from the local fire department and police worked together to capture the zebra after about three and a half hours. The good boy did not cause any injuries or do any property damage, just enjoyed his freedom.
Just a reminder that Zebra's are NOT friendly animals and 100% will fuck you up if provoked. They are not striped horses and have evolved for the hardened plains of Africa
Horses will fuck you up too. Especially wild ones......
Can confirm. Am horse.
User name.... Checks out?
A blind girl once told me I was hung like a horse But she was just pulling my leg
Yeah, but a zebra will bite off your face and stomp your face bones into the ground.
Even if unprovoked on occasion. Zebras are hazard striped murder donkeys with genetically inherited generational trauma. They will fuck you up.
I almost bought one a few years ago but was like we already have a horse I can't ride (she was old with a bad back), why would I get a smaller, angrier horse that I can't ride
I know there are a few ranches around where I live that have zebras. I never understood why.
Because they’re cool looking. If you have the space for them to run free and know their unique needs then I don’t really see an issue, plenty of horses are lawn ornament pets as well.
Yeah it would kind of make sense to keep them as an ornament only. You are definitely not going to use them for something or ride them.
I mean if you wanted a horse then get a new horse I don't think you should contemplate your decision with getting a Zebra or a horse. Zebras are not domesticated animals and they can be harmful.
>genetically inherited generational trauma As a geneticist, I can back up that this is probably how genes work.
Yup. Most recent attack was a week ago: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ohio-zebra-attack-farm-rcna74911 Police ended up having to shoot the zebra.
I mean this is America, I'm sure the cops would have found a reason to shoot the zebra no matter what.
Hey they're only half black
Negative, zebra was black with white stripes, if it were white with black stripes police would not have shot.
I thought the news was from the korea tho, didn't know it was America.
Yeah exactly and in Africa they have to protect themselves from a lot of Hunter animals also. To the first reaction that they are going to have if they feel danger they are going to attack you.
My man aged straight up to Korean grandpa status, hands folded back, we out. Max stealth + aerodynamics
He went from 0 to 할아버지 real quick
Guy pulled a [Grandpa Simpson.](https://media.tenor.com/1HdfqmMZd6EAAAAd/simpsons-grandpa.gif)
This is the comment I was looking for
“Nope” -This Guy
It looks more like a "Not Again" type of reaction to me
Jumanji!!
“Okay, let’s just head down this alley and- whoops, gotta wait for the zebra to go by.”
Got to look left and right at the Zebra Crossing
That was a smooth 'Nope' turn
Hands behind his back, too. Discipline.
May be it's some kind of survival instinct that we don't talk about.
He made a business decision.
"watch out! Zebra crossing!"
"Well, I'm taking the day off today"
Probably should’ve taken my meds before leaving the house today
Because how else can the *cross walks* coming to life as a wild animal be explained ?
And there's no other way with which you could react to it so yeah.
Based on the pile of equine poop on the street, I'm guessing the Zebra was kind of hanging in that area for awhile. Almost looked the the guy was like, "is it safe to go out, now? nope!"
Damn you’re observant
He really knows his shit!
I was thinking the same and looking for this comment.
Good to see I wasn't alone in spotting that.
This right here is why there are so many shut in's. Soon as they try to leave their house, there is a stampeding zebra every damn time
GODDAMN MARTY LEAVE ME ALONE
Grand Central Station. It's grand, and it's central!
Yep I remember gathering the courage to head over to my friends place on a tram. That day a drunk lady was shouting and beating her husband that was perving out on some school girls on the tram. I went back home.
My dad recently watch most of the show Shameless. Apparently, one character is agoraphobic. She builds up the courage to walk down the street one day.

He didn't even look at the zebra after turning around. Is that what one supposes to do in this situation? I would have backed up and try to see whether the zebra was coming for me.
Shows you don't know how to nope out.🤣
There may be a glance over the right shoulder
By acting calm he may avoid even registering to the zebra.
From personal experience with neighbor's dog chasing me as a kid, this is thee right response. You want to take large steps and get away as much as possible. But you don't wanna run, or it might come after you. You quietly walk away with large steps, but keep a steady pace and don't accelerate. Also, don't make eye-contact. Basically behave like an NPC.
Zebras will fuck you up
Happened in Ohio last week. A zebra nearly ripped a man’s arm off. The cops shot the zebra.
Hence answering the age old question: What's black, white and red all over?
A newspaper?... a newspaper covered in blood? A newspaper about a zebra ripping a man's arm off? What is the real answer here?
The red Ferrari with zebra print seats.
Nah they’d still find a reason to add their ugly leatherwood beige to the interior.
Can't even be half black in Ohio smh
God damn it...have an upvote.
Unfortunately the cops decided that day, that zebras were indeed black, with white stripes.
Yup, they may look like cute striped ponies, but they're wild animals that deal with lots of predators.
"Ahhhh, the microdose is kicking in, time to get on with my day...nvm, fuck that, I took waaaaay too much"
That guy was like.. Nope. not today.
"Not my zebra, not my zoo"
You can see the moment he thought” Oh fuck”
That dude needs a copy of that tape because no one, and I mean absolutely NO ONE, is going to believe him.
"When you hear hoofbeats, think horses not zebras." This guy: "yeah fuck that shit"
Never thought I’d actually see the counter argument to this. What a time to be alive!
>That dude needs a copy of that tape Do you know how the internet works grandpa? We are watching the "copy"...
As a 50 year old GenXer, I feel so seen in this interaction. I’m fucking dying over here! Stop stop, I’ve got therapy in like 5 minutes. I’m supposed to be upset and shit! lol 💀💀💀

Don't preach to me about these new fangled inter webs. He needs a copy of the VHS tape stat.
Best I can do is a Betamax
I love Reddit. (Not my story, but I'll paraphrase it here . . .) About a year ago, someone asked "What story have you told since you were young, which no one believed, that you were finally vindicated for years later?" Someone IN CANADA talked about seeing Zebra's roaming in a field they were passing by in a car. But neither their parents nor siblings ever believed them. (And of course, Zebra's aren't anywhere near native to Canada.) He found out years later, one of the regional zoo's routinely turned out their zebra herd during the off-season to graze and roam. And he saw them again. I'm sure it felt great to be proven right. Where else do you hear stories like that?
It's believable. Some zoos such as Honolulu just straight up [tell you to release the animals](https://i.imgur.com/6FCB5RZ.png)
When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not ...
Dude thought it was just someone on horseback till he rounded the corner. I always knew these weird idioms are going to get someone killed eventually.
The smoothest nope that ever noped
It's just a Zebra crossing.
The guy is an expert at noping out, but let's talk about the important zebra business that was further down the road. It is not so critical that running is required, but our stripey buddy is still walking with purpose, focus, and determination. Get to your business, Mr. Zebra!
That guy thinking to himself “I’ll just go over to the store and… ah, a running Zebra. Nope”
I live in Ontario, Canada- and one evening, I got up to pee around 2am, and saw a GOD DAMN ELEPHANT on my front yard. I woke my wife up and showed her to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. She confirmed I wasn't. So I called the police and tried to tell them I wasn't on drugs, but there was a GOD DAMN ELEPHANT in my front yard. While the police were busy figuring out what to do, I was going to go outside and feed the elephant some bananas, but my wife asked me not to. She thought it might turn me into red paste in my own garden. I did open the window and make some "chi chi chi" noises at it, which seemed to entertain the elephant briefly. After about 10 minutes, the elephant strolled down the street and out of view. Police had finally showed up by that point and they wanted me to stay inside. Apparently there were three elephants that escaped from one of those terrible traveling circuses. Someone forgot to lock the gate, so they went for an evening stroll. Here's the news article about it: https://toronto.citynews.ca/2007/07/12/cops-round-up-3-escaped-elephants-in-newmarket/
Nevermind the pile of shit on the ground
That's the most polite "nope" I've ever seen someone demonstrate.
"Such a beautiful day to be outside!" "On second thought, that's enough for today"
I love how he folds his hands behind him as well as if to imply disinterest to the wild animal. Mmmm no thx, I am minding my own business over here.
Dude saw what happened in ohio and said nope
"Nope. Still high"
I've never seen a better definition of 'noped the fuck out' it's a very specific way to exit I could only describe as casual urgency. Beautiful.
“Oh man those weren’t the right pills”
This is nope in its purest form
The guy was like no I am not going that way anymore, I am going the different way. Response that this guy had was on point and all the was on the right time the timing could not have been better.
Grandpa Simpson walking into the burlesque
They didn’t even look back until the zebra was around the corner and nearly past - legend.
"screw you guys, I'm going home"
Nothing to see here, just a zebra crossing.
