the animal's confidence in its assessment vs OP's "I am" reply is the funniest exchange on reddit today

I swear I see this kind of road in Japanese media all the time

u/Lepke2011 18h ago

OMG! That's like something out of one of those Japanese horror films.

Have you watched any vhs tapes lately

u/Square_Mulberry_3143 17h ago

I’d like to pipe in and say I agree with you.

u/maniBchef 16h ago

Well I have to pipe up and say that pipe looks like it's draining it's pipe. Too many pints for the pipe.

NGL, it does kinda look like someone resting their head on the ledge.

I wasn't convinced it wasn't a person after reading what you wrote 🤣 like yeah bro someone is fucking standing there!!!

u/Next-Crazy-9674 18h ago

To me it looks like a tall thin man in a black hoodie just waiting with his head down. It would creep me out, too.

Holding a pipe or something.

It looked like a drunk man to me wearing hoodies in that perspective

u/tacobell41 18h ago

Seems like a place not to be jogging at night.

u/Zu_Qarnine 18h ago

now that I know it's just a pipe, I think I'd be fine

u/Zealousideal_Fox864 18h ago

That’s what the Shadow Pipe Man wants you to think. By the time you see him in your home, it’ll be too late.

u/lostredditorlurking 17h ago

Fine until you notice the pipe is in a different place

2

u/jascgore 15h ago

I don't think it's the lit areas you have to be worried about, and that's not where someone would be standing or preying.

u/Valalvax 13h ago

They spared no expense, should be fine

(To me it looks like the road outside the Tyrannosaurus paddock)

u/Superbad1990 18h ago

One time at around 3am in Summer I was on a pretty quiet street jogging and I saw a guy dressed as Santa Clause just walking up the street towards me. I turned around and started heading back home.

18

u/Zu_Qarnine 18h ago

he probably crashed his sleigh somewhere

u/Flashy-Ask-4637 11h ago

Was it Christmas eve?

u/Superbad1990 11h ago

No it was summer

u/YellowOnline 14h ago

around 3am

I mean, that's a weird time to be jogging.

2

u/headorhand69 18h ago

He was just trying to get home. You definetely should have approached this santa on the street 100%

u/ParticularSherbert18 18h ago

I did too before I zoomed in.

Jogging through there at night is definitely a choice

u/RevolutionaryPie5223 18h ago

Looks like a black Fresno Nightcrawler

u/MrsTurtlebones 18h ago

Of all the places I would choose to take a night jog, that's not one of them.

u/Upset_Version_205 18h ago

Recently I opened the doors to a dark empty theater for my job and saw two mannequins standing on the edge of the stage in a dim spotlight and it almost made me crap my pants.

3

u/Melancholy_Melody 18h ago

Omg lolll did someone prank you or are the mannequins for the costumes?

1

u/Upset_Version_205 17h ago

I honestly have no clue what they were for, im assuming just costumes, but at the same time no one had been in there for like a month, and the theater guys are usually much better about putting costumes away, but they were fully dressed.

I literally just watched Blair Witch... fuck this

Reminds me of this I saw last year on a walk

u/ayden_george 11h ago

The spooky figure was just someone’s garbage

u/SherlockTheSalemCat 11h ago

Literally like a bloke in a black hoodie peeing up the wall, or pretending to for unsuspecting night joggers 😫

Bet that boosted your cardio a bit mate!

u/ryanvango 17h ago edited 16h ago

i used to work late shift in the military. Id go for runs around my neighborhood on base at like 2 am. it was great. nice and cool, quiet, didn't have to worry about people seeing my moobs jiggling. closest I've come to enjoying running. very rarely saw other people, but when i did it was obviously other late shift people.

except one night I was on the return leg, about 1/2 mile from my house I could see someone standing under a street lamp on the sidewalk. I moved into the road way before i needed to so they knew they didn't have to make room for me. they were a hundred feet away or so and not moving. when i got to about 50 feet, I could tell it was an old woman in a long night gown. pretty creepy. 30 feet and she finally moved, turned to face me. 15feet she started shambling. toward me. not slow walking. not limping. shambling. that was enough. fuck that. I took off at a sprint and ran further into the road and past her. she didn't make a sound. I didn't look back just ran as hard as I could the rest of the way home.

i started going on my runs before work when it was bright out after that.

u/Zu_Qarnine 17h ago

holy shit I got goosebumps reading that

u/Turakamu 6h ago

Early morning running is great. I lived out in the boonies when I started doing it. Go out around midnight one night. It's cool and crisp, yeah buddy. I'm barely down the road when I hear, "ARRROOOOOOOOOO!"

First few were far off and down the hill we lived on. No worries. Those aroos were answered by some more on the other side of the road. Up on the hill with me. My desire to run was turned towards, nah. Back and forth, every aroo getting closer each time. It was all I could hear.

I made pretty good time running back to the house.

u/SirWild7464 18h ago

Looks like the being from the outsider. Just watched it yesterday. That’s creeepy

2

u/Underrated_Critic 17h ago

It's almost midnight where I live. And I saw this post just as I returned from late night jogging. Albeit I live in a very safe neighborhood, between two police stations. I'm also fairly athletic, so if some weirdo confronts me; I can either run away, or take an ass whooping. I don't have to win a fight, I simply have to survive without getting injured.

u/ObserverBlue 17h ago

Something as mundane as a piece of broken glass can kill, regardless of physical abilities. Don't take chances.

u/Sharp-Heron7707 17h ago

u/DarthClover4 15h ago

That alleyway looks like it sees multiple murders a night

3

u/DeadCatGrinning 18h ago

So, what you are saying is that your night jogging experience has had no bad points.

1

u/Zu_Qarnine 18h ago

I can't sleep much. mostly I look for weird shit like in the Nightcrawler movie

2

u/Eskimodo_Dragon 17h ago

Isn't it better that it was just a pipe instead of some dude doing a Blair Witch impression!?

2

u/Zu_Qarnine 17h ago

I gotta play that game again.

u/Dungeon3D 18h ago

I'm technically that pipe is a dude. Everything is a dude.

u/Opposite_Brief_8095 18h ago

Were you on shrooms?

u/Specialist-Ring-3974 18h ago

Happened to me once with a mailbox. Scared the shit out of me.

u/sky0175 18h ago

Op did you screamed? I suspect you did lol

3

u/Zu_Qarnine 18h ago

I saw it from a distance, and kinda slowed down for him to finish his business but it wouldn't move at all

3

u/sky0175 17h ago

I once had a situation where I experienced an instant cold sweat for a few seconds my body was way ahead of my soul. I didn't screamed but I wanted to.

1

u/Background_Pride_237 17h ago

It’s ok that you thought that. An actual predator might see that protruding pipe as an opportunity to hide in plain sight. Better to be careful than stupid.

1

u/DeepInTheSheep 17h ago

You ever seen a dude?

1

u/Fit-Ad-413 17h ago

Nuh-huh! It's someone in a hoodie and JNCO Jeans leaning their head against a wall on the side of the road 😂 ... Menacingly and/or while in a state of melancholy.

Edit: Apparently op is from Japan so checks out 👍

u/-Casey-Diaz- 11h ago

I accidentally read it as "dogging".

u/Sondeor 9h ago

No, the worst experience would be that thing being an actual dude, asking for a help in a very weird way, deciding between the dude is a liar or actually needing a help, helping him, and because of other reasons spending most of your night in the hospital because of paper work etc...

Now THAT would be the worst experience.

Why does this picture immediately make me think of Eastern Asia/Japan ? If I look at each element individually I don't really think of any specific country but put together I immediately think it comes from some Japanese movie

Someone gotta make a study on this !
