I'd frame it as an off-the-wall question and post it on an anonymous social platform.

Some people are just really harry man.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 34 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

I mean, yes. But I wouldn't say where, to respect his privacy.

EDIT: Or her privacy.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 6 points 8 months ago

Alright boys we’re looking for a stretch of road next to the woods

[–] the_rogue@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

They will search everywhere if they think you are tellin the truth tho better keep shut

[–] NegentropicBoy@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Is it advice you are seeking? If so then keep quiet about it.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

For op and the Bigfoot sake.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'm more interested in the backstory of Bigfoot learning to change tires. Is this a regular occurrence? If so, do they usually wait for people to look away and zip through like a NASCAR pit crew or is there some communication involved? "Hey man, don't freak out but I'm a Bigfoot. Looks like car trouble, can I help?" or something along those lines. The former would explain the usual blurry appearance in photos but I like the idea that buddy Bigfoot is roaming the woods doing some casual roadside assistance and asking motorists to please be discreet once they're back on their way.

Either way, I'd probably keep quiet. Can't outrun or out-fight them in the first case if they didn't appreciate my disclosure. If it was the latter option, it'd be a real dick move to spill the beans after accepting a favor like that.

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The company AAA actually has an add-on called the enhanced Bigfoot package, but you have to ask specifically for it - like it’s on their secret menu and they don’t really advertise it.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So just call up and ask for roadside assistance plans but get it animal style. Makes sense.

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

🤣 good one

[–] livus@kbin.social 20 points 8 months ago

Of course not. If someone helps you change a tyre it would be a dick move to set them up to be captured and probably experimented on.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 8 months ago

i ain't snitching on a brother like that

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 16 points 8 months ago

I would be telling everybody about it unless Bigfoot asked me to keep mum.

There are some promises you don't break

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 13 points 8 months ago

Im no snitch, not trying to get bigfoot killed

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 8 months ago

Depends if bigfoot wants it or not

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not the first time this has happened to me

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Oopsie daisie! Lost another tire right next to where Bigfoot lives …

[–] ItsAFake@lemmus.org 8 points 8 months ago

Nah I ain't no snitch.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

What does bigfoot have to say on the matter?

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

"Ooga booga" - Dr. Big Feet

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

I did read somewhere that yeti are devolved humans from too much bad karma. Just saying.

[–] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

"But my name is Carl..."

[–] myeyesburn@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

Not if he said, "No one will ever believe you."

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

Hell no. Bigfoot gets to come out of the woods when and if he wants.

Don’t want to put the man in danger because he took the risk to help.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Only if he will accept a beer and kick back with me.

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'd tell the bigfoot to beat it since I can change a tire just fine on my own.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

But... How can you change a tire with such tiny little feet? Feet so delicate you wrap them up in something soft and then in something hard?

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

"Yeah this hairy bigfoot looking motherfucker helped me out. Swear to Christ I couldn't see a patch of hairless skin on the dude!"

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Who would believe me even if I said it? Might as well keep quiet and not cause people to be concerned about my sanity

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

Yeah that's how you get put on antipsychotics.

Fun fact: I had a minor surgery a lot of years ago with a cocktail anesthesia so that I remained awake. Thorazine was one of the drugs. It seems wild that it is used to test schizophrenia, because it certainly caused me to visually hallucinate, or maybe because it was part of the anesthetic cocktail. At any rate, I don't foresee myself ever consenting to taking it regularly. Holy moly, it was wild. And the hallucinations weren't distressing, but knowing I was hallucinating was. Not in a psychonaut kind of way, either.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.one 3 points 8 months ago

Hell nah, that’s just for me.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

Do you want ppl to think you're crazy? Because that's how you get ppl to think you're crazy.

[–] the_rogue@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Nop you can't beat it out of me

[–] Pika_nyan@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I'd tell everyone, but I'd make it a big story. The type like most people won't believe or even suspect that it's true, but they'll think I didn't present it to be true and it's just a story. But those who know... Maybe those who have been helped by him themselves... Those people will know that my story is the truth.

[–] Tazerface@lemmings.world 2 points 7 months ago

No. Assuming the creature is intelligent, I would ask "Why are you hiding?"

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

My car does not have a spare...

I would thank him for his offer to assist but let him know that unless he has access to a tire shop with proper tools it would be pointless to try

[–] AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

I would tell my best friend. Telling anyone else would be a waste of time.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What makes you think I need help changing a tyre?

[–] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Your dead body will make us think that.

You're going to start changing your tyre. Bigfoot is going to stop by and offer help. You're going to rudely tell Bigfoot to get lost. Bigfoot will get upset at you for the hostility. Weeks later someone will find your mangled body underneath your car. People will assume you made a mistake changing the tyre and then wildlife picked at your dead body.

You will go down in history as failing to change a tyre, all because you wanted to be rude.

BRASH BRO BASHED BY BIGFOOT BENEATH BROKEN BUICK details when we’re back after this

[–] ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 8 months ago

I don't own a car, have a license or drive, so if this happened to me, I would assume it was a dream

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Hellz yeah! Plus selfies!
