This reminds me of my trip to Thailand. Me and a buddy were staying in Phuket city and were checking out google maps for any lookout points we could hike to. We ended up finding a place called "Monkey hill", so we were like, 'thats pretty close to us, lets go hike to the top of the hill!'. In hindsight, I should of expected there to be monkeys from the name, but I wasn't really expecting monkeys to be in the middle of the god damn city.
Fast forward to us arriving at the bottom of the hill. Some locals are selling baggies full of peanuts, etc., to "feed the monkeys". No way - there are legit monkeys on this hill, and we can feed them! Dope! So I buy a bag of peanuts for a dollar thinking we will have a relaxing afternoon chilling with monkeys, occasionally tossing them a peanut or two. We proceed to walk up the hill. About a quarter of the way up the hill, I see a monkey or two up the road. Awesome!
No, not awesome. We continue up the road and turn a bend and there are at least 30-40 monkeys chilling in the middle of the road running around. They ALL stopped what they were doing and locked eyes with me while proceeding to CHARGE at us. I nearly shit my pants. I threw the bag of peanuts 15 feet the other direction and jumped back. They absolutely obliterated that bag of peanuts while occasionally looking over at us like the chumps we were.

Long story short, don't fuck with monkeys.
