Please Do Not Pet The Employees
(I am a volunteer at the zoo, and I am walking around an exhibit room with a boa constrictor in my arms so people can pet her.)
Man: “Can we pet it? It’s not slimy, is it?”
Me: “No, sir, not at all. She’s very sweet; go ahead.”
Man: *pets snake* “Wow, it’s really soft.” *reaches for my head* “Let’s see if its handler is, too…”
Me: “?!” *dodges his hand*
(Thankfully, he left quickly!)
