  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

A girl came up to me taking a drug use survey for a psych class. I started talking to her and she said she was from a small town and for fun they would pour NyQuil on a loaf of bread and the squirrels would eat the bread and fall asleep pretty much immediately. Her and her friend would take the sleeping squirrels and put them in her neighbors mailboxes and most of the time the squirrels would explode from the mailboxes and scare the shit out of her neighbors. I immediately fell in love with this girl and never talked to her again.

[–]xtfftc 302 points303 points ago

and most of the time the squirrels would explode

Couldn't you have used a different word? I totally hated that bitch for a split second.

[–]mnp 40 points41 points ago

I have unpleasant memories of the Butterfly Effect scene where a mailbox explodes...

[–]GreenFox1505 15 points16 points ago

damnit, I totally forgot about that... now I hate you.

[–]BrownNote 7 points8 points ago

That's a kind of Butterfly Effect-esque thing that just happened.

[–]Antbutter 73 points74 points ago

Dude, i am going to try this. Please tell me you are serious, because if I NyQuil a squirrel and it dies I will probably kill myself from the guilt.

[–]Thjoth 58 points59 points ago

If it's any consolation, the squirrel probably would have died in a mad, pointless suicide rush through moving traffic, anyway. So, if it does kill the squirrel, look at it as an act of mercy that you got him high as fuck first.

[–]Antbutter 12 points13 points ago

That is the smartest thing I have ever used to rationalize risking an innocent animals life.

[–]Vranak 19 points20 points ago

ex post facto rationalization

[–]complete_hick 12 points13 points ago

If you do this and they squirrel dies, I would recommend eating it. If you are unsure on how to dress, skin, or cook it, there are plenty of videos on youtube. Don't let it go to waste.

[–]goldrogers 19 points20 points ago

You take it home, throw it in a pot, add some broth, a potato... baby you got a stew going!

[–]thegreatvortigaunt 23 points24 points ago

For fucks sake... the guy is bullshitting. Also, don't drug squirrels. It's just wrong.

[–]TheTalkingCamelAnus 38 points39 points ago

It's nuts!

[–]putin_my_ass 8 points9 points ago

I immediately fell in love with this girl and never talked to her again.

Wow, congratz on staying in character until the end, Mr. Redditor.

[–]senexii 7 points8 points ago

Do you think that it's morally wrong to drug helpless squirrels?? If not...

[–]thegreatvortigaunt -1 points0 points ago

Of course it's wrong to drug random animals for fun, I don't get why people find this funny.

[–]OleDublinBobcat 34 points35 points ago

Because squirrel hats.

[–]IcedJack 7 points8 points ago

Classic Reddit.

[–]wanderso24 2 points3 points ago

Still a better love story than Twilight.

[–]Longfeller[S] 157 points158 points ago

Here's another one. She makes the hats herself.

[–]BoreasBlack 169 points170 points ago

She makes the hats herself.

Why am I not surprised that the girl attaching miniature hats to squirrels makes them herself...?

[–]U731lvr 98 points99 points ago

Wal-mart has a squirrel hat aisle

[–]Satafly 24 points25 points ago

I wish I lived in USA so I could check this

[–]Montgomrie 40 points41 points ago

As USA, I can confirm squirrel hat aisle.

[–]waggle238 16 points17 points ago

My town is FINALLY getting a Wal-mart next year, I can't wait just so I can go to this aisle (so tired of ordering squirrel hats from their online stores)

[–]Examen 8 points9 points ago

Goshdernit USA, you get all the cool stuff in your Wallymarts.

[–]silobot 5 points6 points ago

just wait, walmart will be wherever you live soon

[–]zissous4 7 points8 points ago

she's like britta

[–]AmberHeartsDisney 1 point2 points ago

That's a Mommy.

[–]chimicherrychonga 135 points136 points ago

That's so adorable! :D But how does she get close enough to the squirrels??

[–]lily_gulmohar 83 points84 points ago

I suspect she is friends with seven dwarfs.

[–]weebitIRISH7 125 points126 points ago

Our school's paper wrote an article about it: http://onwardstate.com/2012/10/03/meet-penn-states-squirrel-whisperer/

[–]Miora 233 points234 points ago

No offense but she looks like she would kill people for fun...

[–]Nyrb 57 points58 points ago

She trains armies of squirrels to attack them.

They certainly did not take the time or effort to make sure they had a flattering photo.

[–]J-Nice 20 points21 points ago

Maybe they took 50 photos and that was the best one. If so I NEED to see the other 49!

[–]Adultery 1 point2 points ago

she needs a shower, that's about it

[–]nomorepassword 11 points12 points ago

Maybe not people but how do you think she makes the squirrels keep a hat on their head ?

[–]waggle238 9 points10 points ago

thumb tacks are surprisingly effective

[–]for_the_trulz 9 points10 points ago

Serial killers need love too.

[–]gools 11 points12 points ago

Like she would cut your balls off then put a tiny hat on them

[–]akatherder 6 points7 points ago

aww they couldn't have taken a better picture of her?? looks like someone just randomly snapped it without a proper pose or advance notice. Poor girl

[–]centerbleep 8 points9 points ago

I feel... attracted... am I secretly a squirrel?

[–]Left-Hand-Path 6 points7 points ago

Yes. A new kind of squirrel... a secret squirrel.

We have the technology.

[–]comcamman 24 points25 points ago

that's some hard hitting journalism there.

[–]malagrond 12 points13 points ago

And really terribly written..

This is not her first bird however, but sadly, Chirpy passed away two years ago. (Feel free to pour one out for the fallen homie this weekend.)

Wat.

[–]comcamman 3 points4 points ago

Funnily enough that was the one sentence that stood out to me too.

[–]Frankyminion 6 points7 points ago

Holy crap. It has a Facebook page

Technically a web blog. Collegian is the school paper....but doesn't mean it's good at news.

[–]Hakuoro 29 points30 points ago

I came here to ask the same thing. Most of the squirrels I've seen are skittish as hell or aggressive

[–]Longfeller[S] 77 points78 points ago

City squirrels are extremely docile. They're so used to people I guess. But the squirrels are even more docile around her. They call her the squirrel whisperer.

[–]J0MS 40 points41 points ago

I live in Toronto and have never gotten that close to a squirrel. They run up a tree the moment you get near them.

[–]JXDB 14 points15 points ago

Hyde park in London the Squirrels are pretty tame. You can feed them out of your hand.

[–]xtfftc 4 points5 points ago

Also, they love ice-cream.

[–]harryISbored 22 points23 points ago

And taste like chicken.

[–]I3addog 8 points9 points ago

Then why not just eat chicken ?

[–]harryISbored 36 points37 points ago

Next time you see chickens running around in Hyde park, give me a call.

When I was in Central Park in NYC, I took this picture, the squirrels there gave zero fucks.

[–]jjremy 6 points7 points ago

Hamilton here. I've had squirrels eat right out of my hand.

Fun Fact: Their claws are very sharp.

[–]Longfeller[S] 2 points3 points ago

Canadian squirrels, man...

[–]zippy_zap 4 points5 points ago

I go here too. I don't think that anyone understands how extremely tame Penn State squirrels are until you visit here. They will come right up to you and they are everywhere, and I mean everywhere. If you have food, there will be a squirrel within 10 feet of you waiting.

[–]wtbrowni 2 points3 points ago

I go to IU, and it's they exact same thing. You can usually get about 3 feet away but then they run away.

[–]skysignor 3 points4 points ago

The squirrels around my apt will come right up to you, they even let me pet them sometimes. I suspect it's just because my neighbors feed them a bunch. All the squirrels seem to be pretty fat around here...

[–]gurley_man 4 points5 points ago

Squirrels on school campuses are generally very comfortable around humans. The ones at my particular school (University of Alabama) will take acorns out of my hand. It's probably easier than you think.

[–]pisscat 23 points24 points ago

is she gluing them on?

[–]jecowa 6 points7 points ago

I don't think so. I think she takes the hats with her when she's done playing with them. It looks like she can recognize the squirrels by their coats. The article says she found Sneezy and put a straw hat on her. Sneezy's facebook page shows her with several hats on. So it would seem that they are not permanently attached.

[–]Second_Location 3 points4 points ago

That was a deep cut. Nicely done.

[–]agentstartling 21 points22 points ago

This squirrel is pregnant/recent momma! I'm surprised she'd let someone so close.

[–]Jaquatic 2 points3 points ago

Aw I came here to state that observation....

[–]hodor_annyong 15 points16 points ago

I know this is cute and all, but this could be seriously harming the squirrels. Squirrels depend on their camouflage grayish-brown fur to keep them hidden from hungry predators, and this brightly-colored party hat is doing him no favors. This could potentially knock the delicate ecosystem out of balance. Just kidding I don't care at all.

[–]Longfeller[S] 4 points5 points ago

It's just squirrels and ducks around here... I'm sure they'll be okay.

[–]Elementium 4 points5 points ago

where I live, the squirrels run away up a tree and start sqwuaking at you immediately. However, one time I went to disney world, and the squirrels in the park walk right up to you and beg for food. F-ing adorable.

Just a word to the wise, never evereverevereverever try to pick up a squirrel. Even if they approach you because they are use to humans, they are extremely prone to aggression. The worse injuries that I have acquired whilst working at a Wildlife Center have been from squirrels, and I work with Great Horned Owls and Raccoons on a regular basis.

Back in college, we used to go squirrel fishing. We'd take some string and tie it around some food(peanut, candy, etc), toss it over the balcony ledge of our dorm and wait for the squirrel to try and take it. The trick is to not pull too fast or the squirrel will let go. You have to kinda pull slowly while they are trying to eat it. Then you can just pull them up.

Fun times.
