One year after a hurricane, my pool was full of blue crabs, they chased me ex around the patio when he was trying to get them out, hilarious

It's my understanding that this is why the vast majority of pools in FL are fenced in.

There are different ways to end a pool party..but none have quite the panache as a live alligator.

Anyone know if she was hurt? That f**ker but her hand.

Kept thinking he wasn't just trying to pry the mouth open but rip it's fucking jaw off. Balls o steel!
MsMax75
I really want to know how this was filmed. Did he set up the phone before he jumped in to get the dog?
yaddiex3
A surveillance type camera. To monitor activity in the pool area.
nolamem
Happened in Nov. in Florida (of course) co-op called "Sharing the Landscape" campaign sets up the cameras. The pups name is Gunner. He's ok.
bobaFoot
The speed at which the dude got out is commendable.
MindRape
Wondering how much flak he got for that
ARandySavageGifForEveryOccasion
The girl moves deeper into the pool.
GnomeDeGuerre
What else could she have done?
BrokeMyFunnyBone
Instinct is to move back, his back was to the edge of the pool, her back was to the center.
BreathBeStank
Her fight or flight ducked her over. The move was probably too grapple and throw it away
pdh99
Better get a fence up!
HeraldofOmega
Maybe build a wall to keep them out
mshyde
They climb fences just fine, but I think you'd at least be able to hear that and have a head start. Foil their stealth mode.

He totally left her.

Reminds me of the movie Force Majure (or the US remake Downhill) - great movie btw.

Agreed. Loved that he took his phone and left his kids!
circlebreaker
Real talk, almost anyone would recoil from a surprise reptile attack.

Amazing how equality goes out of the window when it comes to survival.
Ghlargh
You mean how survival brings out the equality in him? Trusting her to take care of herself, not helping her just because she is female.
He did help her, rather limply at the end. I meant the comments TBF.
Rugmier
They were doing “something” before the attack, but as soon as the creature went in, the boyfriend was like: yep! You’re on your own now!??
GoldDragonHighLord2
fucking bitch
okay calm down lol
no, dude just dips and leaves his girl in the water with a gator.

Maybe the girl was the gator's and she was cheating on him?

Less than 1 Alligator fatality per year in the US. At least 1500 deaths by hypothermia each year.

You could just live in the middle of the Pacific ocean. We don't have any of these things in Hawaii. Worst we have are centipedes.
don't you have cockroaches the size of 1970's skateboards?
And tsunamis, volcanoes and the Imperial Japanese Navy bombing you randomly on Sunday mornings.

Tappo melkeen ? -24°C almost daily, eyelashes and nose hair freezes. Bresthing hurts. There's dry cold, and "wet" cold. Wet hurts more. ;_;
zylla2
Wet cold seems to go right through clothing.
It does. Sticks to skin and then freezes right away. Even dry hair gets frozen.

Or put up a fence, like most people who live in these areas.

I actually like the masks for this reason. Keeps the nose warm.
They help, but at nearly -30 Celsius I just need more.

Common myth. Pools aren’t required to have fences here. I’ve lived in 3 homes with pools. No fended. Florida resident

Well if you have a croc problem, id say theyre probably not required, but still mandatory.
SlasherQuan
I'm pretty sure that's a monitor of some sort.
ebonybutterfree
It’s a law according to the link provided by @jbilly90 but it only applies to pools built after the law was enacted.
TK421isAFK
Or houses sold after the law was enacted. Also, most insurance companies will require you to put one in or they won't insure your house.

Why would you not want one?

That's one of the dumbest arguments against a safety device, especially for a luxury product.

Ive seen it. My gpa had one when i was a kid in the 90s. My bff has one at her house. I live in fl too
For some reason I’m getting a Caribbean vibe, perhaps a backyard pool at a Mexican Airbnb. I think that’s a crocodile.
I vote caiman, that's a really narrow snoot.

Snout looks more pointed than a gator's.

I don't think there are any crocodiles in the America's. Gators and caiman though.
There are, and they're protected https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_crocodile

You are correct, it’s a crocodile that attacked a couple at a resort in Zimbabwe. One sec, be back with a source.
