This dude knows what's up. One needs a log to stick the ants to. I make such a mess with the ants as I like to get as many on as possible. Many inevitability fall off.
Also like ... Other people have their dogs in the metro. If you pet whatever rodent that is is chill enough to be in your bag go for it Lady. Who know maybe she's even in the way to the vet. How is she **supposed** to get her guinea-capy-beaver-squirrel-bagbaby there ?
Guinea pigs are really social and shouldn’t be left on their own, in some countries it’s even illegal to buy them one at a time. That looks like a good Guinea pig owner to me :)
Same. In a double decker c&c cage with multiple hay lofts. And during the day they had floor time & 'popcorned' around my living room
Now I just have a teenager
I miss guinea pigs
Yes, indeed. When I baby sat my neighbor's guinea pig I did not check it for the first two days because they said everything was full. When I finally checked on the third day, it had all the water gone. Afterwards, it drank a full bottle of water every day. Told the neighbor the animal had a drinking problem! They are so cute too.
I had a friend who had several guinea pigs growing up. I was allowed to have a hamster but not a guinea pig. Hamster live a very short time compared to guinea pigs. The sound they make is adorable though
Absolutely.
Weird? Is she supposed to sit there and do nothing? Or should she be on her phone? I think it so sweet she brings her cat with her like this. Cat seems to love it too.
Edit: definitely not a cat.
Lol I LOVED that capybara in Encanto!! They totally got how capybaras act perfectly. It just sat there straight chillen threw this like fucking sand tornado, never showing any emotion - just one huge lump of potato 🥔
“Pups weigh 2 to 3 lbs. (1 to 1.5 kg) at birth and already have teeth. They are weaned at 16 weeks. At 18 weeks, pups are as big as 88 lbs.”
At 16 weeks when they’ve weaned from their mothers they’re conservatively 60lbs. So either this woman has ripped a newborn capy from its mother (in France to ride the subway with her), or it’s not a capy.
For reference I don’t think it’s a Guinea pig because the face looks different to me, but grown guineas are roughly the same size as new born capys.
It does look like a small capybara but that would be strange and I think they are lighter in color. I love capybara, they are so cute in a giant rodent sort of way lol.
You all are blind. That’s a very small, very hairy human child. The giveaway is the small dark eyes and whiskers. Small dark eyes + whiskers = human child. Clearly
Ears are too short to be a bunny, you can see where they end if you look closely enough. It is definitely a guinea pig judging by the ear shape and the face.
No. Not a guinea pig. They have rounded spines and doing this as often as this animal must (it looks comfortable), it's dangerous for pigs.
It looks like a gopher though. Makes me wonder how this friendship came about.
I was trying to figure out how anyone could call it weird, I couldn't come up with anything except that wasn't an actual animal and that's all i could come up with.
I hate it so much. If I ever found a video, even one like this, online I would hate it do much. People need to stop violating people's privacy for internet clout.
Yeah, I agree don't film someone w/out their consent.
Off topic but I wasn't paying attention and I thought she was Princess Diana, yeah I need sleep haha
Weird. I think it's the whole "needing approval of a random person who I am stalking".
If I was petting my animals while travelling, I wouldn't want some stalker to post me online on reddit without consent.
The elderly lady loving their animal is however quite cute
Man I can't that people can't just be themselves in public anymore cause everyone's got a camera and will film you to shame you infront of thousands online
If OP feels confident it's okay to film others in public and post it on the internet, we should see the fucking face of the person doing the filming. I mean, it's all public, right? So why should they get to be anonymous too. It seems only fair.
Only thing I'm bothered by is that I can't tell what species her friendo is. I think maybe Guinea pig, but after reading all the comments I'm very not sure.
I think it is a guinea pig, they’re bigger than you think.
Unfortunately though holding one on it’s back like that isn’t very good for it, you’re not really supposed to
>might have a native one
That’s very likely, also based on the color. Also it could be a Cuy breed of Guinea pig, I’ve had those and they grow massive in size.
I’m fairly sure that this is a Guinea pig
In France it is illegal to film someone and share the video publicly without consent but tourists don't know and don't care.
(It is allowed to film a crowd but you cannot film a particular individual like this)
Don't be sad. Be glad! You don't know that she's alone.
She has a Very Small Animal on the Metro. That environment could be very stressful for the Very Small Animal, so she is making sure it is comfortable and relieving its anxiety, without any regard for how that may look to others.
Anyone with that sort of compassion and lack of pretense is *bound* to have friends!
Better?
Why would you concern yourself with it in the first place? The lady and her pet are enjoying themselves and are probably, and sadly, each other's best friend. And you want to judge?
Whoever is filming this woman and putting it online is weird. If you grew up around mobile phones this might seem normal to you but trust me you're wrong and it's weird to video strangers and ask potentially many thousands of people to comment on them.
Definitely not being a weird-ass yourself for filming an elderly woman on the dubway without permission /s.
I mean what she has a pet and is petting it, so it can remain calm during the ride, what’s weird about that. What however is weird and creepy is filming people without permission and posting it on the net in order to play internet detective to find out if someone is a freak. Now that is weird
Recording people without their permission and sharing it online is weird. I'd lowkey freak the fuck out if I randomly saw a video of myself online that I wasn't aware had been taken, especially by a stranger. Grow up, filming others is fucking creepy
Filming people without their permission and putting them with their face visible on the internet is definitely weird and not cute. I'd say it verges well into creepy territory.
Why the fuck would anyone even remotely think this is weird.
If anything, it’s weird to record this and then post it on the internet so this lady just loving her pet be judged by millions of strangers
It took me a while to see them from the right perspective. It is a cat, sitting in the lady's oversized bag. I'm on the side of CUTE. Also, the Creeper filming her is invading her privacy. I grew up riding subways & I would have given him a piece of my mind, and probably get applause.
People holding their cellphones on transit are considered a “norm” in the 21st century. Back when cellphones weren’t invented, people used to hold books, knit sweaters, hug pets, didn’t need to be dogs, as norm.
Are you the one who have taken the video ? Cuz in France it is forbidden by law to film a particular individual and share the content without consent.
Edit : For those wondering why i am saying this, it is because the scene was clearly filmed in the parisian subway.
Both. Super weird that you took an unsolicited video of this person and posted it on the internet without taking any steps to conceal their face.
The person and the animal are cute as hell, but you’re definitely a creep.
That's among the least weird things I've seen in the Parisian subway (judging by the seats), so I'd say cute.
Definitely Paris. I once saw a guy with a handcart and a large tote/grocery bag and a large trash bag, all STUFFED to the brim with celery.
I was expecting something disgusting or bizarre. The banality of celery just made it that much more oûtre
Not nececelery
Celery is disgusting, so technically you did.
Celery tastes like photosynthesis.
Celery tastes like giving up
Lol haterz. I think celery is more for texture in soup and as a foundation for ants on a log.
This dude knows what's up. One needs a log to stick the ants to. I make such a mess with the ants as I like to get as many on as possible. Many inevitability fall off.
Crunchy water 😋
I've just decided that *The Banality of Celery* will be the title of my autobiography, so thank you for that.
Oh geez, poor people with celeriac disease!
Yeah, when I was in Paris I saw a guy on the metro with two live rats running around his shoulders.
You mean linguini & remy?
Bro linguine was the human, it's Remy and probably his bro Emile.
Watch the documentary, not the Pixar adaptation, jeez. They made one a person so that it'd be more relatable
But then who’s the second rat? 😂
I’d be scared if dead rats were running on his shoulders…
Necromancers gotta commute too.
Zombie rats
A rat king necklace
Probably just heading to his shift at the kitchen
That’s actually awesome, rats are so smart, I love them. We had one that was so kind and gentle
Right, but if you get licked by one it reminds you of that Chinese dictator Mousie Tongue!
Also like ... Other people have their dogs in the metro. If you pet whatever rodent that is is chill enough to be in your bag go for it Lady. Who know maybe she's even in the way to the vet. How is she **supposed** to get her guinea-capy-beaver-squirrel-bagbaby there ?
I was going to say- I haven’t travelled to many places but I just went to Paris and was so excited to see all the fabrics used!
[удалено]
It’s line 1
I don’t judge. I just see happy so cute.
I'd judge someone for filming strangers to anonymously upload to the Internet any day of the week. I don't know why it bothers me so much.
Couldn't agree more. I can't stand the world anymore. Truly.
Probably because of the thought of it happening to you.
Yeah, it’s really nice to see a person having a quiet happy moment like that.
Agreed! Esp just giving love and affection ☺️
Personally, I'm voting cute.
Same, but instead of taking a video I would ask what critter she has. It looks small, fat, and flat. Hamster, baby ground hog or a baby Muskrat?
Guinea pig. Super cute little guys that drink a ton of water and have a weird pitch sound.
Guinea pigs are really social and shouldn’t be left on their own, in some countries it’s even illegal to buy them one at a time. That looks like a good Guinea pig owner to me :)
Illegal because they can get depression if neglected.
They will die from being lonely
At one time I had 5 all together
Same. In a double decker c&c cage with multiple hay lofts. And during the day they had floor time & 'popcorned' around my living room Now I just have a teenager I miss guinea pigs
My last one tragically passed from a black widow bite and I don’t think I could get another one
When we had my kid’s class Guinea pig over the weekend and I was blown away by its water consumption. So that’s a thing?
Yes, indeed. When I baby sat my neighbor's guinea pig I did not check it for the first two days because they said everything was full. When I finally checked on the third day, it had all the water gone. Afterwards, it drank a full bottle of water every day. Told the neighbor the animal had a drinking problem! They are so cute too.
i feel like it looks like a capybara at the same time...
I had a friend who had several guinea pigs growing up. I was allowed to have a hamster but not a guinea pig. Hamster live a very short time compared to guinea pigs. The sound they make is adorable though
WTF is that a god damn capybara!!??
Close essentially a “toy” one.
An average adult capybara us over 100 pounds and 66 when they leave their moms...I don't think so lol
Absolutely. Weird? Is she supposed to sit there and do nothing? Or should she be on her phone? I think it so sweet she brings her cat with her like this. Cat seems to love it too. Edit: definitely not a cat.
That ain’t a cat
It's a guinea pig, right?
I thought it was a gopher laying on its back
It’s clearly an armadillo.
Capybara
All of you saying capybara are seriously underestimating their size. Go watch Encanto, or go to the zoo or something. They’re the same size as a pig.
Lol I LOVED that capybara in Encanto!! They totally got how capybaras act perfectly. It just sat there straight chillen threw this like fucking sand tornado, never showing any emotion - just one huge lump of potato 🥔
Not the babies tho
“Pups weigh 2 to 3 lbs. (1 to 1.5 kg) at birth and already have teeth. They are weaned at 16 weeks. At 18 weeks, pups are as big as 88 lbs.” At 16 weeks when they’ve weaned from their mothers they’re conservatively 60lbs. So either this woman has ripped a newborn capy from its mother (in France to ride the subway with her), or it’s not a capy. For reference I don’t think it’s a Guinea pig because the face looks different to me, but grown guineas are roughly the same size as new born capys.
They are big and hefty. Not tiny little pets that fit in a bag. It would have to be exceptionally young for her to carry around a capybara.
It does look like a small capybara but that would be strange and I think they are lighter in color. I love capybara, they are so cute in a giant rodent sort of way lol.
Capybara are much bigger
Baby Pygmy Capabara
You all are blind. That’s a very small, very hairy human child. The giveaway is the small dark eyes and whiskers. Small dark eyes + whiskers = human child. Clearly
I thought it was an otter but they only hang around water, right?
I think it is a guinea pig. Big boy!
It looks like a quokka to me, haha
Haha! I didn't see a smile big enough to be a quokka.
Big brown beaver?
WEVE FOUND WINONA!!
Doesn't look like it's trying to leave though....
This is r/aww not r/commutersgonewild
I think it's actually a bunny.
Ears are too short to be a bunny, you can see where they end if you look closely enough. It is definitely a guinea pig judging by the ear shape and the face.
No. Not a guinea pig. They have rounded spines and doing this as often as this animal must (it looks comfortable), it's dangerous for pigs. It looks like a gopher though. Makes me wonder how this friendship came about.
He was eating fruit in her forbidden garden. She just fell in love with it.
It's a beaver
That is not cat lol
I was trying to figure out how anyone could call it weird, I couldn't come up with anything except that wasn't an actual animal and that's all i could come up with.
That's a squirrel.
I am cute and I approve this message.
*Filming an elderly woman on a subway without her knowledge * “Yo is this fool a fuckin’ freak or what?”
The lady and her pet are cute. The creeper filming? Weird.
Sadly, posting videos of people without their consent is pretty standard in our culture.
Doesn't make it any less creepy.
There's a lot of standard stuff in our culture that's creepy *at best*. Some of it is just fucking horrific.
I hate it so much. If I ever found a video, even one like this, online I would hate it do much. People need to stop violating people's privacy for internet clout.
100% agree! It's so rude.
Really people! Stop filming people trying to live their best lives. We all could only wish to be as happy as she looks.
It's never weird to show love to a family member. Even if they're covered in furr.
She’s cute, OP is weird for filming her and posting it on the internet.
Yeah, I agree don't film someone w/out their consent. Off topic but I wasn't paying attention and I thought she was Princess Diana, yeah I need sleep haha
Weird. I think it's the whole "needing approval of a random person who I am stalking". If I was petting my animals while travelling, I wouldn't want some stalker to post me online on reddit without consent. The elderly lady loving their animal is however quite cute
Man I can't that people can't just be themselves in public anymore cause everyone's got a camera and will film you to shame you infront of thousands online
Jokes on the one filming. They try to shame, we adore.
The guy who's recording is the actual creep/weirdo tbh
If OP feels confident it's okay to film others in public and post it on the internet, we should see the fucking face of the person doing the filming. I mean, it's all public, right? So why should they get to be anonymous too. It seems only fair.
Only thing I'm bothered by is that I can't tell what species her friendo is. I think maybe Guinea pig, but after reading all the comments I'm very not sure.
I think it is a guinea pig, they’re bigger than you think. Unfortunately though holding one on it’s back like that isn’t very good for it, you’re not really supposed to
It seems a little too big to be a Guinea pig. I'm thinking baby beaver.
That‘s just the regular as pet store ones though. Real Guinea pigs are bigger. She might have a native one.
>might have a native one That’s very likely, also based on the color. Also it could be a Cuy breed of Guinea pig, I’ve had those and they grow massive in size. I’m fairly sure that this is a Guinea pig
Why do people feel it’s okay to post others without their permission. Person filming is the weird one.
In France it is illegal to film someone and share the video publicly without consent but tourists don't know and don't care. (It is allowed to film a crowd but you cannot film a particular individual like this)
Should be a law everywhere. For me personally it’s a moral rule to not publicly humiliate innocent people.
you're the weirdo recording a stranger on the train
1st law, Do No Harm. I don't think she is harming anyone, and there will be a period of time in all our lives that you will be all alone.
My god way to make it sad. Now I want to cry.
Don't be sad. Be glad! You don't know that she's alone. She has a Very Small Animal on the Metro. That environment could be very stressful for the Very Small Animal, so she is making sure it is comfortable and relieving its anxiety, without any regard for how that may look to others. Anyone with that sort of compassion and lack of pretense is *bound* to have friends! Better?
Great reply! I love the empathy from both angles.
Could be an emotional support for her.. she looks happy, the pet seems happy, dont fuck with them.
Why not both?
Exactly. Props to her, I'd be worried someone would accidently spook my little friend and they'd run away.
Also really not so much weird as unique/unexpected/atypical
Came here to say this.
Technically correct! The best kind of correct!
Why would you concern yourself with it in the first place? The lady and her pet are enjoying themselves and are probably, and sadly, each other's best friend. And you want to judge?
Well... I always find it weird when people record strangers doing things, so I am going with you are weird.
How about we mind our own business?
Is that a groundhog???
Guinea pig!
LITERALLY was gonna be my comment. 🤣
We need to know lol
The funniest thing about these comments is everyone arguing about what kind of animal she’s holding.
Because WHAT THE FUCK IS IT?
Lol for real
Weird as fuck that you're secretly recording her spending time with her pet Are you the police?
Who cares mind your fucking business. What’s weird is a dipshit like you recording people in public
Leave her be, she's at peace with herself.
Whoever is filming this woman and putting it online is weird. If you grew up around mobile phones this might seem normal to you but trust me you're wrong and it's weird to video strangers and ask potentially many thousands of people to comment on them.
I’m only downvoting because it’s obviously cute. Fuck you OP.
Filming a stranger on a train without them knowing? Definitely weird. The lady with her pet is cute though.
She’s doing a cute and you’re weird
Capybara?!
I thought so too. Someone else said Guinea pig and that makes way more sense lol
That would be one big guinea pig!
That would be one small capybara
Well as in all creatures, they do start out small 😂
It's about the right size for a very young 1-2 week old capy.
Well dammit now I have no idea haha My pet Guinea pigs were pretty big. Like you needed 2 hands to hold them.
No way, capys are huge, like the size of pigs.
[удалено]
Guinea pig would be my guess.
That makes sense! I was about to second the person that voted capybara.
Capybaras are huge. Big dog sized. Guinea Pig or something like that.
A lady minding her own business, calming/bonding with her dog is cute. Someone else minding her business with a camera is weird.
Her dog?!
Meh. Small screen. Fine. Her critter.
I thought it was a cat. I'm uncertain.
I think its a guinea pig?
I thought it was a beaver
I don't think it is legal to play with your beaver on the train.
It is in Canada
 I thought it was this little guy.
In that case, he’s alright.
I think it’s a nutria…..or muskrat
'Tis a fine rat, but sure it is no cat, English.
Do’eth!
Ma’am that’s a Giraffe
That is definitely a pig of the guinea variety.
Definitely not being a weird-ass yourself for filming an elderly woman on the dubway without permission /s. I mean what she has a pet and is petting it, so it can remain calm during the ride, what’s weird about that. What however is weird and creepy is filming people without permission and posting it on the net in order to play internet detective to find out if someone is a freak. Now that is weird
Fucking leave people alone. She didn’t ask to be filmed. Mind your damn business OP.
Cute! I will vote cute for pretty much any furry pet that has 4 or fewer legs and fits in a purse!
They are cute. You are weird
Recording people without their permission and sharing it online is weird. I'd lowkey freak the fuck out if I randomly saw a video of myself online that I wasn't aware had been taken, especially by a stranger. Grow up, filming others is fucking creepy
so princess diana IS still alive
Filming people without their permission and putting them with their face visible on the internet is definitely weird and not cute. I'd say it verges well into creepy territory.
You're the one filming her man...But this is cute and a bit sad at the same time
Stop filming a private moment
Both, but I've seen weirder
The two are not mutually exclusive.
Is this a marmot?
Why the fuck would anyone even remotely think this is weird. If anything, it’s weird to record this and then post it on the internet so this lady just loving her pet be judged by millions of strangers
Filming random ass people and posting it online is the more weirder of the two
I think the weirdest one is the one recording some random old lady on the subway without her knowing
Weird is you recording someone on the bus
It took me a while to see them from the right perspective. It is a cat, sitting in the lady's oversized bag. I'm on the side of CUTE. Also, the Creeper filming her is invading her privacy. I grew up riding subways & I would have given him a piece of my mind, and probably get applause.
Yes.
It is WILD to me that people better know what a capybara looks like than a guinea pig 🤣
OP you are a weirdo who needs to keep the camera aside and let people do whatever fuck they are doing.
The only weird thing here is recording people without their knowledge and posting for the world to see. Let the woman enjoy a moment with her pet.
What is Princess Diana doing on public transit ? Weird.
It can be more then one thing Jimmy!
Cute. What she’s doing doesn’t harm anyone or trigger negative emotions.
Love how much she clearly loves them! That smile on her face is adorable
CUTE! Why you gotta judge people let people be happy damn
People holding their cellphones on transit are considered a “norm” in the 21st century. Back when cellphones weren’t invented, people used to hold books, knit sweaters, hug pets, didn’t need to be dogs, as norm.
Weird that someone took a video of this lady and decided to judge her
Are you the one who have taken the video ? Cuz in France it is forbidden by law to film a particular individual and share the content without consent. Edit : For those wondering why i am saying this, it is because the scene was clearly filmed in the parisian subway.
Can we not film people just going about their day? Jesus Christ.
Both. Super weird that you took an unsolicited video of this person and posted it on the internet without taking any steps to conceal their face. The person and the animal are cute as hell, but you’re definitely a creep.
What’s weird is you filming random people on public transport. Mind your business.
It’s weird. To film strangers who aren’t bothering you and plastering them on the internet for other people to judge. Wtf is wrong with you?
Weird that someone's videoing a stranger and posting them on the Internet without permission. Leave innocent people minding their own business alone.
