thinking abt when we were in costa rica and we visited a place that let you feed the local spider monkey troupe + they would climb on you to do so, and the guides were very clear about hey do not fucking leave anything loose on you. ESPECIALLY glasses of any kind they are SO shiny and SO grabbable by a monkey sitting on your shoulder directly next to your head. put your glasses in your bag i am so fucking serious. and then this random ass rich girl just Ignored All Of That Entirely and left her glasses on, monkeys snagged them and ran away to the treetops with them and at first she was like "haha thats so cute!!!" then after a couple minutes turns to the guide and is like "ok how do i get them back" and hes like "😐...you dont. theyre wild monkeys. i told you to keep that stuff out of their reach" so she starts throwing a fit like "what do you mean i dont, they were expensive and i need those", and then not even a minute later the monkey chucks the two snapped halves of her glasses to the forest floor

#she spent the entire ride back alternately pouting and complaining that they didnt stop it from happening lmao #side note that whole excursion was most certainly bad for the monkeys and a rabies risk however i did #not plan the trip or its excursions i was just kinda Brought Along #and had i been in charge 'feed wild animals' would not have been on the list #but just like. maam they are monkeys. they do not give a shit nor fuck that your glasses were prescription.#they do not comprehend glasses or money or nearsightedness.#they see a shiny breakable thing and go 'ooh shiny i want to break it'#we also had a different trip for a night hike thru the woods to look at animals (i had a terrible time bc there #were so so so so many ants i spent the entire time looking at the ground so i didnt step in ants and let them climb on me)#and on the ride back the dad of this other tourist group who looked and acted like Old Old Old Money was #being super shitty to the driver for driving bad but like. the driver was doing great its just that roads in costa rica are #deeply fucking insane‚ like thr fact that we didnt have or see a single crash the entire time we were there astounds me #there was one (1) stoplight we saw and it was treated entirely as a suggestion no matter how strong the traffic #but anyways yeah the driver was doing terrific this dude just had 0 like ability to contextualize anything #and his family just fucking WENT OFF on him it was so funny #me my bf and his mom were all sitting together in the back and while they were melting down we kept just looking at each #other like 👁️👄👁️#it was so funny
