‘Keep moving, bro:’ Watch these Florida women hilariously try to get a baby gator out of the house

“Like, OMG, like IT’S HUGE! OMG!”

(Pick the dang thing up!)

An alligator with only one foot.

Abusing a disabled gator.

What has this country come to?

This is so the kind of thing that happens to me on a regular basis, though not with alligators. We have had all sorts of little animals in the house stories. Too many to count.

I swear...it was kind of funny to watch, but it would have been hilarious if that thing had turned and run right at her!

Those people are deranged!

This has to be my favorite GIF of someone trying to deal with an insect:

When I was a kid living in the Philippines, I was an avid bug/snake/lizard catcher. They had these big geckos that had wild colors that were maybe between six inches and a foot long with a great big triangular head and little fine needle teeth. They could walk upside down on the ceiling and had this REALLY loud sharp call that sounded like "EHHHH OHHHHHH" which they would do over and over and over again. Unfortunately, when you caught them, they wouldn't make the sound. Heh, we would put it in a jar and wait...and wait...but they wouldn't do it.

We would use a broom to sweep them off the ceiling and before it could get away we would pounce on it and grab it behind the head between a finger and a thumb, where it would dangle down, its mouth theateningly agape. And when they bite, they can bite damned hard and I know because one got me one time. Left two neat rows of pinpoint pricks the oozed little droplets of blood. The only way to get it to let go was to squeeze the crap out of it where you held it behind the head. The weird thing was, it would almost always shed its tail, so you never got one a foot long, they always had a stub of a tail when you got them.

I had never seen anything like that, and I remember the first time picking up the piece of the tail that shed off and thought "What the...?"

One day when I was in 7th grade shop class at George Dewey Junior/Senior High School (taught by the incredible Mr. Stauffer) and we saw a gecko outside the classroom. I grabbed a broom to bring it down, and when I swiped at it, it DID fall down...right onto my eyeglass-wearing upturned face. (I had those black plastic military issue glasses that later when I was in the Navy we call "BCD Glasses" (Birth Control Device Glasses)

The thing landed square on my face, and in a breathless panic I violently shook my head to rid myself of it, and my glasses went flying off. They landed a few feet away with that gecko firmly grabbing onto it with those weird feet!

Must have broke some law.

I was disgusted by this woman’s asinine behavior. Use the Swiffer to hold the gator’s head down and grab it behind the head, fling it over the fence. Her behavior was infantile beyond belief. A gator that size is a nothingburger to move.
