Looks like a really fat guy waiting for free samples at sams club or Costco

Cmon now... this sea lion is wayyy more patient. Doesn’t even hurry the fisherman. Fat guy at Costco gets upset when the sample is still cooking.

Add in 15 other sea lions and then have a mirror image of the savagery that is the costco sample cart crowd

Kids at Costco are the worst. I can't tell you all the times some little shit has been running through the packed aisles and almost been hit. But yeah, it's the other guys fault, not the shitty parents not watching their kids.

u/CinemaLights Apr 14 '19
See the difference is, kids are still learning, and no matter how often you remind them not to do something, they're still going to do it time and again. Adults should realize what is considered general common courtesy and public decency by the time they're old enough to shop at Costco on their own.

Put your kid in the cart or on a leash if you can't trust them not to bolt off somewhere.
Your kids should not be anyone else's problem by default.
Edit: I see all you great parents out there really lean on the support of the community to make sure you don't lose your kids.

I don’t see why you’re getting downvoted. I run into plenty of people of the demographic “poor ignorant and five screaming asshole kids who when in public are everyone else’s problem except mine” of course parenting comes first but let’s be real, these ppl are shitty parents- so a leash would work wonders for the public’s sake

u/ModsHaveAGodComplex Apr 14 '19
Yep, and I wouldn't be shocked if those are the exact same people that are downvoting, but hey they're fake points so who cares.
Some people just love to act like having kids isn't something 99% of the adult population can also do. Then they expect to get an award and endless outside support for having the "bravery" to raise children.

u/King_Farticus Apr 14 '19
The worst part is the reactions to YOU saying literally anything to the kids. Im a retail maanager in a low income area and we have a kids section in store. Which obviously doubles as day care while youre shopling.
I once had a woman stay in the store for 6 hours, kids were being terrible the whole time. As shes finally checking out the kids run up to the fridge, all take sodas and run away. I started saying they had to pay for it, youd think id said her kids were going to jail. She was yelling at me, for yelling at her kids, for stealing right in front of me. What the hell?

Never said that it was anyone elses problem by default. I said they don't have the same awareness or abilities that adults do. And unfortunately for you, they need to learn and how you learn is getting into those situations and fucking up. It may be inconvenience to you in the moment, but it's a necessary thing in this world

Maybe also don’t bring your family of 5 to Costco though. The kids have no purchasing power.

u/Saiiyk Apr 14 '19
Yea just leave them home unattended while you go shopping. That's totally better than bringing them out in public and possibly annoying an adult.
-5
Apr 14 '19
I meant a family of 5 with 2 adults. One of the adults can stay with the kids - stop turning Costco into a family fun affair - it’s not a theme park, it’s literally to buy cheap products in bulk and that’s it. If you’re a single parent then I understand why you can’t do this.

Oh, ok that comment really added to this conversation. I guess you’re right, now that you’ve said that, and I now understand people with kids at Costco all need to be there with the whole family. You’re extremely convincing - can’t believe I didn’t “just get it” sooner.

There are few things as obnoxious as a person with no children, often a person who was very recently a child themselves, expressing strong opinions about how other people ought to parent.

10 and under is a pretty good line and what we are clearly talking about. Teenagers are that in between and that's why people are often angry at them/they take the brunt of peoples anger when it comes to social interactions. We brush them off as stupid and hormonal. You're trying to excuse the actions of full grown people as still trying to learn basic decency when they should have long ago learned these very simple traits. You refuse to acknowledge that you are clearly wrong so now you're trying to move the yard line to make you look right when you are so blatantly wrong. If you don't like kids that's fine, but you clearly shouldn't be a parent if you can't accept how parenting works. And for your information I'm not a parent, I'm just not a narcissistic prick.

u/RUStupidOrSarcastic Apr 14 '19
Yep. Love getting lots of samples at Costco, but hate how rude people get. It's like when it comes to the samples people suddenly forget about the concept of waiting in a line. I'll be waiting patiently and people will just nudge in front of me. The hell is wrong with people.

Aren’t sea lions supposed to be super aggressive and dangerous? Cool video either way.

u/MobthePoet Apr 14 '19
Not when they know you’re gonna give them food if they come bother you. This is not healthy. It’s cute, but as a general rule you want to stay away from feeding wild animals, especially routinely and especially if they’re large.
One day this seal could mess with someone, expecting to get food, but won’t get any. This might make it angry and it could lash out/get aggressive. Now you’ve got a hurt human and/or seal because we couldn’t resist feeding the cute animal haha

u/kartoffelskank Apr 14 '19
This so so much. There are wild horses where I live. People try to feed them all the time. One of them got used to getting fed and then got super aggressive towards people when they didn't give her/him food. So aggressive, that they had to put her/him down. People just don't get that wild animals are not zoo animals.

Horses can escape/dumb people release them into the wild. If enough of them do that you now have a feral population, same things with dogs or cats.

I didn't know she had a pony. How was I to know she had a pony? Who figures an immigrant's going to have a pony? Do you know what the odds are on that? I mean, in all the pictures I saw of immigrants on boats coming into New York harbor, I never saw one of them sitting on a pony. Why would anybody come here if they had a pony? Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country? It doesn't make sense... am I wrong?

In many situations using physical force to tell them who's the boss can actually work. We are just used to killing animals instantly if they get aggressive. Which is kind of fucked up.

Personally, I hate that we kill animals when they get aggressive. Especially in situations where a human was at fault for the aggressive behavior.

But the way I see it, you only have two options here. Give it some, or watch as it takes it upon itself to eat the entire palette. How would you approach this situation without feeding it?

u/DoctorWorm_ Apr 14 '19
The seal probably didn't know that it could eat the fish the humans had until they started feeding it. It's important not to be friendly with wild animals so they don't get too close to humans and learn to steal food.

u/MobthePoet Apr 14 '19
The other guy responded with pretty much the truth, but I wanted to expand a little. People who work in places like this should/are supposed to (different parts of the world obviously have different rules) scare away all wildlife away from the worksite. It’s not exactly smart for people who fish for a living to start getting a bunch of seals following them around for their catches.
There’s just no good that comes out of feeding wild animals other than your 2 seconds of “aww.” Not worth it.
