[–]mastercylinder2 40 points41 points ago

One of my biggest hurdles training my dog is trying to teach him to look at where I point instead of sniffing my finger

[–]FarmerTedd 99 points100 points ago

Well, stop sticking it up your butt.

[–]Blinking4U 1 point2 points ago

How 'bout you make me?

[–]A_British_Gentleman 5 points6 points ago

It is possible though, dogs are one of the few animals capable of understanding pointing.

[–]ooo_shiny 1 point2 points ago

Saying that for some reason my mind went straight to Charlie Dog from Looney Tunes saying he is 50% pointer and to demonstrate he points at stuff.

[–]Mayortomatillo 43 points44 points ago

This makes me smile every time

[–]thehalfwit 10 points11 points ago

I like the part where he points, and the cat goes in that direction.

It was exactly what Spielberg would do.

[–]cmhhss1 0 points1 point ago

This is a very polite way of pointing out that this is reposted for the umpteenth time without being a prick. Kudos, sir.

[–]Mayortomatillo 0 points1 point ago

I'm a sir :)

[–]Thechriswick 134 points135 points ago

Another hateful comment toward your posting of something you probably thought was cool and legitimately didn't know it had been posted before.

[–]ntrlybtyarly 39 points40 points ago

What do people that hate reposts actually want other people that haven't seen it before do? Do they want those people to search Reddit with the key words "cat directions gif"? how do they expect people to even know what things are out there to look for?

[–]E_N_Turnip 35 points36 points ago

I have no idea. Reposting something a day or two later is annoying, but I enjoy seeing things a few months later.

[–]zrag123 5 points6 points ago

He earns my upvote because i haven't seen it before.

[–]koolman101 1 point2 points ago

You can do a search for the link (just putting the link into the search bar). That is if that specific link to the gif has been posted before.

[–]stacecom 0 points1 point ago

It's not about the reposting so much as everyone who's seen it before voting it up.

It makes the front page no longer what's new, but "hey, remember this?"

[–]WolfzHD 26 points27 points ago

I actually prefer this one

[–]MrBrawn 8 points9 points ago

I don't.

[–]FourForty 110 points111 points ago

First i've seen it.

So, Fuck all the whiners.

[–]cnov 22 points23 points ago

About the 6th time I've seen it, Fuck it, still gets a smile.

[–]thecoolsteve 14 points15 points ago

Same here. The complaining about reposts is getting out of control.

[–]nomogoodnames 8 points9 points ago

I agree. I laughed, said "Ah this is funny, I enjoyed laughing at this again." Then I downvoted it and was going to leave, but felt compelled to clarify that I did what you are supposed to do

[–]BoneyarDwell89 0 points1 point ago

I see more posts complaining about reposts than actual reposts.

[–]hideisalive -5 points-4 points ago

Redditor for 4 months.

[–]Doc88 1 point2 points ago

Agreed! I can't stand this shit. Well some of our fellow humans FourForty, think the world revolves around them and only them. Entitled little dickwads. This is why I think I will end up in prison for murder in the next five years because of something stupid as this or an idiot driving in the left lane and going slow which is meant for passing only. Sigh. Damn humans.

I am sorry, horrible drive home today. It sucks especially when you're tired.

[–]junkeee999 23 points24 points ago

Complaining about a repost is the worst thing one can do on Reddit.

You know there's a system in place of showing approval, which naturally elevates desirable posts to the top, repost or not. Just use it and shut the fuck up. And if a repost goes up high, guess what? It means people liked it. Where's the harm?

Nobody and I mean nobody thinks you are hip and cool for pointing out that you are so glued to Reddit that you have memorized every popular past post, thus causing you to yawn at this shameful repost.

[–]mad-shatter -1 points0 points ago

Complaining about repost complainers complaining about reposts is worser than the worst thing one can do on Reddit.

[–]junkeee999 1 point2 points ago

False. What I'm doing is noble and brave.

[–]mad-shatter 0 points1 point ago

Then you're a moron.

[–]Lefty07 0 points1 point ago

worser? smirk

[–]jooze 0 points1 point ago

I'm sure you realize

[–]JBurrows_ -2 points-1 points ago

We wouldn't have to complain about people saying "repost" all the time if they followed reddiquette.

[–]pinballwizard16 14 points15 points ago

Sorry I wasn't a redditor a few years ago (or whenever it was reposted last, as people have frequently reminded me and you). Have an upvote.

[–]joshychrist 8 points9 points ago

I like the one with words better.

[–]ayures 8 points9 points ago

Yes, it's old, idgaf I haven't seen it in a while.

Now that that's out of the way, fun fact: Cats don't understand pointing like dogs and humans do. The cat was probably investigating the guy before running off or was startled by the guy and ran off in the opposite direction of him.

There. I ruined it for you. Are you happy?

[–]jakestrictor 1 point2 points ago

Yes, ruined. Have a upvote.

[–]greeneagle692 1 point2 points ago

saw this a long time ago. anyways, i would point too if i was the man, it just seems like the natural thing to do.

[–]Nawlins44 0 points1 point ago

Ha, like just a natural reaction

[–]TaslemGuy 0 points1 point ago

I wonder if the cat actually understood the direction, or just ran away from the angry man with the flailing arms.

[–]les2moore 0 points1 point ago

This has been posted many, many times...but I still love it!

[–]Surch 0 points1 point ago

How many times can I see this repost and still crack up? Keep it coming. Let's find out.

[–]FifeeBoy 0 points1 point ago

I like this plain version the most, I hate it when it has the text on it. It takes away from the scene imo.

[–]Big_Wax 0 points1 point ago

I dot usually say when I think something is cute, but I think this is pretty damn cute. Sincerely, some dude.

[–]SwedishShaman 0 points1 point ago

First time I have seen this, took me several minutes to stop laughing. Enjoy the upvote.

[–]Anielkar 0 points1 point ago

I see this pic and I think Canada for some reason.

[–]il_marcello 2 points3 points ago

Did you enjoy it months ago? How do you know it was the first time it was posted?

FWIW, I hadn't seen it then and I enjoyed it now.

[–]ColdCaulkCraig 0 points1 point ago

I complained about complaining about reposts before it was cool.

[–]svtracerd -1 points0 points ago

I call dibs on reposting this next month!

reddiquette

[–]Janake -3 points-2 points ago

You like to shit out that "reddiquette" link all over the place, but have you READ the entire reddiquette? You probably break rules in there all the time. You can't justify something being "not okay" by saying it's against the rules if you break some of the rules or if you think it's okay to break some of the rules.

[–]SkySilver -1 points0 points ago

Would you kindly point out my rule breaking?
