Seems like everytime someone waves at me

This is the second gif I've seen of a bear waving. I wonder if there have been any studies of bear mimicry?

while waving bear is cool, it seems slightly dangerous given the only thing keeping them apart is a simple linked fence.

the bear is thinking "Hi, food!"

Sometimes when I'm out I wave at total strangers and act super friendly just to see how many pretend to know me secretly acting embarrassed that they don't remember who I am.

Ever done that thing where you think you see someone you know at a distance, so you wave just in case? Once I did that to someone on the Stanford campus who happened to be Blake Ross, one of the creators of the Firefox project.

I'm pretty sure he thought I was a geeky stalker.

Waving at a bear is actually the best form of defense when encountering a bear in the wild, once the bear starts waving the hiker should immediately charge the bear in an attempt to knock it off balance onto it's back. Once on it's back bears can't roll over without the help of other bears in the area.

I always thought the bear was thinking something like, "Look at this asshole waving at me, yeah I can do that too! DEERRRRRRRRRR. Idiot."

Well I'm legally blind. I can see people from very far, but I have no clue who they are until they're 6 feet away from me, unless they wear very recognizable shirt / hair / bear pelt, etc. So I've found ways to smile in a friendly yet non committal manner. One effect is that an average work conversation with me is done as we both walk away from each other, backward because as we walked by, I just realized who you were and that I needed to tell you something.

I like beeping my horn and waving at elderly people as I drive by. They always wave back and smile. They have no idea who I am but they probably feel good that someone took the time out to wave at them.

Is this the same bear?

If that's a kodiak, then that fence isn't really doing much. Electrically charged or not.

Glad it's friendly!

Just like how someone will say 'hi' or yell 'ferg!' and instead of just saying yo or something back I look at them and have to process it for a second...makes things pretty damn awkward.

That's adorable.

Just funny how a bloodthirsty beast can be friendly, all it takes is a small fence :P

OP hasn't been to a small town, driving down main street might as well be a parade

I love how the "fence" looks like a bunch of plastic 6-pack rings tied together at shin level.

Surely that will stop 4 tons of fucking bear.

shitterplug · 2 months

I have people honk and wave at me on a regular basis... I'm not even a popular person. It's a little unnerving at times.

There's 2 big fucking bears and only that pussy ass fence is in the way? Chuck Norris must have been the guy waving to the bears.

Obviously gaming for a lunch of Snagged Gull, not waving at the simple tourist.

I enjoy going to the boardwalk and waving at/high fiving random people I don't know to see how many of them wave/high five back.

I remember years ago during the first wave of the awful Fox Network, When Animals Attack, there was a segment on a mentally disordered young man at a zoo who believed that the bears were waving to him. Beckoning him into their enclosure. According the program, the man, encouraged by the waving, climbed the fence and was mauled.

Waving as a kid: "Aw how cute" Waves back Waving as an adult "Who the hell is that?" Awkward half raised hand
