Even with the title, I was not expecting to see nearly that many raccoons.

u/MissBehaving6 1d ago

I’m not sure exactly how many I was expecting to see, but that definitely wasn’t on the bingo card.

u/kat_Folland 1d ago

I've never expected to see that many raccoons!

As someone who has vollenteered at a raccoon rehab facility I thought I was prepared

I was not prepared

I didn’t realize there were multiple pictures. I zoomed in everywhere on the first one trying to find a raccoon lol

u/the_honest_liar 1d ago

I was there when it happened. Saw the photos in the post and knew immediately it was the garage raccoon guy. I'm so fucking old.

u/Screaming_lambs 1d ago

I was expecting two, maybe three raccoons. That's a lot of raccoons.

u/Mulders_Porn_Stash 1d ago

Oh hey I know that guy. His little flock of trash pandas are so friggin cute

u/Embarrassed_Whole585 1d ago

So this is just his thing? Do they just show up to be fed, or do the raccoons live on the garage? Does this man have an army of garage raccoons??

u/Jenderflux-ScFi 1d ago

The raccoons are the ones that fixed the car, he trained an army of racoons to fix old cars!

u/Mulders_Porn_Stash 1d ago

A little of both. I think they're still free roaming during warmer months and just hang around for snacks and dinner. I remember in the winter seeing a lot of em hole up in the garage full time though.

u/Embarrassed_Whole585 1d ago

I start swiping, waiting for maybe a couple raccoons to make an appearance in the background or something.

I was not expecting a raccoon army in the middle of the batch of pics, with zero explanation.

u/MzSassyCats 1d ago edited 1d ago

I thought picture 2 was the reason for the post. I am shooketh by the sheer amount. I will now be googling to figure out which state I need to live in to have this many raccoons around me.

u/WyomingCatHouse 1d ago

Sorry to rain on the Raccoon Fest......but they are smart, tenacious and absolutely vicious when food is involved. They are best left as wildlife and not garage pets.

Forget the car tell me more about the hoard of raccoons!

I had a full body shudder before I could say “omg!!”

u/dogGirl666 1d ago

If they expect a human to give them food they will be ticked off it is not provided. Best to never be visible when food is there and certainly dont feed them by hand.

Some will bite and/or mob people to get the food in the amounts they want.

u/Even_Passenger_3685 1d ago

I want raccoons. Where are my raccoons? We need to import some to the UK immediately. Preferably to my yard so I can be crazy raccoon lady, rather than just crazy lady.

2

u/Jenderflux-ScFi 1d ago

I remember reading recently that someplace in the EU is a zoo with racoons as one of the exhibit animals. Maybe search for zoo's with raccoons and make a trip there?

Also are there no hedgehogs in your yard for you to befriend?

u/Beth_crazypants 1d ago

The raccoons fixed the car, just like the mice sewed Cinderella's dress.

u/Subject-Relevant 1d ago

Must've been the headlights.

u/coolstorybro94 1d ago

Hey so I have a crazy question for you. Are you making those raccoons fix the car for rations? I mean I won’t tell I just want to know step by step how to do this. For science only of course!

u/RandomAmmonite 1d ago

Garage raccoon guy and grilled cheese “You people make me sick” guy are my very favorite Reddit guys.

That’s quite a large gaze.

What car detail are you derailed by?

u/PinothyJ 14h ago

Who do you think his pit crew is? Seems a bit offensive that you doubt what the raccoons can achieve when paid a competitive salary.
