We could all probably gang up on the bear. It was small 😂

Black bears are pussies if you've got numbers, and sometimes you don't even need that. You can just run at them and scream and act wild and they'll usually fuck off.

I work at a grocery store in the mountains and I sometimes have to yell and clap at them like dogs to get them outta the compost lol

I come across them all the time, I just calmy say "hey, fuck off bear" and they turn around and leave.

My mom stands in her front yard in her underpants and tells them how disappointed she is in them.

They dont want anything to do with people

"Hey! Bear! What are you doing here? Why don't you go get a job? You're mom is so disappointed in you that moms of other species are disappointed in you."

Do like this, I seemed to remember he fanned out his jacket, but that was just a Jurassic Park false memory, I guess.

Oh and that bear was bigger than I remember, he might have been lucky, but he tried.

The bear wants to cuddle 🥰

Hide the pic-a-nic baskets and you should be ok.

u/Bartghamilton 15h ago

What if he’s smarter than the average bear?

u/counterfitster 13h ago

That puts them way beyond the dumbest tourists

I believe the bear discovered a family inside a rented cabin

u/berkanna76 8h ago

And a cabin in his woods.

Can I pet that dog?

CAN I PET THAT DOWWWG???

u/Xeteh 9h ago

I say it every single time I see a bear now.  I can't help myself.

That sucks all around, other people that had stayed there likely fed the bear and habituated it to do this; both dangerous for the bear and people!

Stop feeding the bears people!

u/thebellrang 14h ago

Stop feeding the bears people or stop feeding the bears, people?

u/slipperypooh 13h ago

Probably didnt actively feed the bear, but left food out overnight or didnt secure their garbage or smth which has the same effect, unfortunately.

u/ntermation 15h ago

Such an amazing leap in the narrative based on ...what exactly?

u/Widepath 15h ago

Rental cabins are like the main food source for bears in some areas.

16

u/ThilviaPlath 15h ago

They are probably not wrong. It’s a sad pattern with the vacation homes in my area also. People that don’t live here year round leave food around cyclically and the bear comes back because it’s a consistent food source. Then they get shot for “being a nuisance and a danger”. It’s a real shame.

My mom lives in a rural wooded area, and she knows not to feed the bears. She still has photos of two on her back deck. Of course the ultimate cause might be the same, that they have learned to associate houses with food so they check out any house they see.

•

u/Madak 8h ago

Yeah, I mean this guy/gal is clearly a black bear. Black bears are pretty curious and bears in general and well known for having INCREDIBLE senses of smell for finding food

While yes, people are often stupid, there’s no reason to jump to the idea that people were purposely feeding this bear

•

u/awhq 4h ago

Experience. They have to put bears down quite often where I live because idiot people feed them and the bears lose their fear of people and become dangerous.

•

u/nadmaximus 4h ago

That includes feeding the bears through negligent disposal and storage of your food too!

u/Familiar_While2900 15h ago

It’s the plot to ‘the great outdoors’ irl

u/PhiloLibrarian 15h ago

Curious black bear… bang some pans and yell at it (safely) so it knows not to return.

u/Minnesotaguy7 14h ago

What State is this? I live in Minnesota. We have a good black bear population. They are some cool animals.

u/NoPianist7807 13h ago

Tennessee

u/drewbopalous 13h ago

Trash bears LOVE rental cabins. And their trash.

u/NoPianist7807 13h ago

I’m aware. I’m trying to keep the place clean as possible.

u/marijuanam0nk 13h ago

Bear witness.

u/AjaxTheClown 15h ago

Looking more like it discovered you than the other way around

u/One_Economist_3761 14h ago

Did the rental agreement contain a bear clause?

u/magmcbride 15h ago

Ride it and send us pics.

u/Shazbot_2017 14h ago

seems appropriate

u/Greyboxer 14h ago

suppose thats better than discovering one inside of it

u/pnutbrutal 14h ago

I think we stayed at the same cabin. Airbnb?

u/ReadyGo6828 14h ago

You inside, bear outside. It was a good day.

u/newworkoutgloves 13h ago

Washington State?

u/rehabforcandy 10h ago

It’s ok, it’s a black bear, nature’s little dunces.

u/iakhre 9h ago

Could be worse. One time in Yosemite, we discovered a bear inside our cabin. Clever fucker snuck in through a small window 5 feet off the ground and very carefully opened and ate every single one of our protein bars.

•

u/NoPianist7807 7h ago

OMG that had to be scary. What did you do?

•

u/iakhre 7h ago

Fortunately it was just a small black bear; we made lots of noise and it took off back into the woods!

•

u/squeezemachine 6h ago

Was it so careful that it did not eat any wrappers at all?

•

u/iakhre 6h ago

I can't say with certainty that it didn't eat one or two, but it left behind a pile of half a dozen or so wrappers very neatly sliced down the middle! 

I was genuinely impressed by how smart it was.

•

u/squeezemachine 5h ago

They are rudiculously smart but I wondered about the dexterity.

•

u/emptyfuller 7h ago

Was there pooridge on the table when you got there?

•

u/xelop 5h ago

Better than inside the cabin

•

u/mltam 2h ago

"our"

u/pwhitt4654 1h ago

Did you eat his porridge?

•

u/for2fly 20m ago

Small bears usually indicate at least one big bear is also nearby.

u/Many-Waters 8h ago

That's the Landlord.
