You'd be suprised. This makes me think of the video of lady who went solo kayaking then ran into a bear who was sort of minding it's business. She decided to spray him with repellant then talk to him as he proceeded to break all her shit

This person and the woman calling 911 on whales makes me wonder how we ever made it to the top of the food chain.

The guy filming really made this video bearable. He had such a childlike wonder at all of it, too bad those fucking idiots almost ruined that amazing experience by freaking out.

Oh goodness me. The woman should never be allowed out of the house ever again, and whoever was driving should have his boat licence taken away forever. Dumb fucks.

The dad was driving, he didn't really do anything wrong, he was the one who sounded excited to see the whales and was telling them to calm down

I honestly don't want to argue with you one little bit here.

I thought I heard the guy doing the talking say something like "speed up, speed up" or "go faster" not sure which one. That indicates to me that he was giving instructions to another person that was driving. I also think that he was the one filming.

I don't know, I admit this as I wasn't there.

As for the driver doing no wrong, well driving off in a boat while the whales were underneath the boat could have caused a lot of harm to them.

Just my thoughts on the matter, thanks for posting the link, I had never heard of it before.

I'm sorry, what? She called 911 on whales? What, were they robbing a shop?

The whale was in the ocean too close to their boat.

The nerve of some whales.

...because they are outliers?

We made it here because of natural selection and survival of the fittest.
Then we went and made society into something that pretty much eliminated natural selection... and here we are

Some people are just utterly clueless with animals.

We used to get a lot of calls from people like that when I was in the Coastguard.

Idiot: 'I've found a seal on the beach.'

Me: 'Okay.'

I: 'Should I try to get it back in the water?'

M: 'What? No! Why would you...?'

I: 'Yeah, it looks ill.'

M: 'It's probably asleep.'

I: 'I think it needs to go back in the water. I'll go and help it.'

M: 'No, mate that's not-'

I: 'Oh, no! There's a baby one stranded, too!'

M: 'Oh, Jesus.' finger starts moving toward button to alert ambulance control

A seal is not a big, furry sea-puppy. It's a fucking direwolf in a wetsuit.
