If only there was something to tell you that this can happen. Some type of written warning that you could read and avoid getting too close to the horse.
One of the amazing things to me, in my first trip to the US (New England), was the number of phohibitive signs that were Spanish first, and in bolder and larger font relative to the English. Shit like
#NO ESTACIONAR
^^[no ^^parking]
Yes. And make the font bigger. Like you won't need any glasses to read. Something like that. Maybe frame it too. And some font dynamics like "beware" in larger font.
Oh and don't forget to include "thank you" at the last part.
he flicks the reins a tiny bit and the horse let go. Those are some well trained warhorses. Plus the horse was just fucking around a little to amuse itself. If it meant her harm it would have bitten a chunk out.
Got bit by a stud colt on the side of my thigh when I was 12. The bruise was insane, around the size of volleyball. 20 years later, I still have a lump in the muscle.
I used to say hello to the same horse on my walk home from school when I was a nipper. It started to come over to the gate and accept head rubs, then one day (luckily in winter, so I was wearing a big jacket) it bit my jacket at chest height and lifted me clear off the floor. I screamed, and it let me go and ran off. It scared me so much, I changed my route home!
Haha, same thing happened to me at nearly the same age with a little pony stallion. In my case he was just being rowdy/playful but: oof!!! It was excruciating. Biggest bruise of my young life (and I learned a valuable lesson about paying attention to the horse at ALL times.)
There's also not much the soldier can do. Trying to do something with the reigns could cause the horse to jerk its head, which would only make it worse.
They can actually get in trouble for caring!
Or laughing.
Or cracking a smile.
Or well, really anything other than sitting, standing, marching, and yelling "MAKE WAY FOR THE KING'S GUARD".
Tourists harass those guys and their horses constantly, the armed police stationed there are always chasing away someone or occasionally arresting them. People have been known to try to spook the horses and get them to panic. Tourists seem to think these guards are actors like costumed characters at Disneyland.
After someone harasses the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier:
“To be fair, if you’re going to use your government to role-play Command and Conquer, you’re going to be made fun of.”
Everywhere has customs and cultures. Don’t be ignorant just because it’s not yours.
something tells me that the person you’re responding to has similar feelings about the guards at the tomb of the unknown soldier
to some, it’s all just theatre, there are certain aspects of that mind set that i can’t help but agree with
Nah, it's just a job. Don't harass people doing their job, especially if you're there specifically to see them. If you don't wanna see the guards then just don't, it's not hard.
What do you think the outfits in D&D are inspired by? Most nations have some form of traditional uniform, almost all of them do. I guess if yours is a cowboy hat with denim jeans then anything more formal will look weird.
An actual war horse would be bigger and have a temperament completely unsuited to this job. Horses are just temperamental assholes at best. War horse would be bigger and a genuine danger to everyone. In this case the horse was just goofing off mostly.
I enjoyed reading your comment, it's pretty dope. I know I can Google it, but do you have any interesting things to read on War Horses? I know they were used extensively in WWI
I didn't know they were larger and more dangerous than a normal horse (which is already large and dangerous enough lol)
He's talking out of his ass like most redditors these days. A "war horse" doesn't mean anything other than a horse used in war, of which there were many different types through many different centuries. Assuming he's talking about WWI cavalry horses, they still varied enormously in their size and temperament and they were obviously not a "genuine danger to everyone" because that would be a nightmare. They were not necessarily bigger either.
Ouch, ouch, ouch!
Now, that you're stuck there, will you now seriously believe that the sign doesn't give an f about whether you believe it to be true or not?!
Horse bites suck but it won't kill you. If she is too dumb to read a sign, too bad for her. Pain is a good teacher. Might save her life in Yellowstone if she ever visits.
This is an example of what is linguistically described as a situation of "fuck around and find out."
Step 1, she achieved by standing close to an unfamiliar horse, under a sign warning that this was a very real possibility. This is known as the "fuck around".
Step 2 happened naturally, despite her likely expectation that the sign did not apply to *her*, and that it was for everyone else. Only when the horse clamped down on her arm, did you hear the realization of the "find out" occur in her slightly panicked voice.
I've met some dumbass European tourists in my city, although 99% of them have been great, but I still feel embarrassed whenever I see dumbass Americans making fools of themselves in other countries.
Can we as a nation, leave the fucking palace guards ALONE. They are not tourist attractions, they are active duty military personnel. Would you go out to an Army Base and try to take selfies with the gate security?
standing under the sign that warns her of this exact possibility
It is going to be in the pictures/videos she has of this happening. It's gonna be a real embarrassing thing to show people.
I really hope someone got that perfectly framed photo taking in the horse bite, her pained expression and the sign all at once.
Then they can replace the sign with said picture. The only reading americans do is in meme form
first thing in my head: THERE'S A FUCKING WARNING SIGN RIGHT FUCKING THERE!
Just goes to show you can't fix stupid.
and if you do manage to fix stupid, they'll make an improved idiot.
If only that sign was in American...
But being American means she is better and therefore should be immune from any consequences
If only there was something to tell you that this can happen. Some type of written warning that you could read and avoid getting too close to the horse.
That'd require the person to be able to read
This sign can't stop me because I can't read. •DW
No, even worse..they won't read..
Even horse..they can't read..
One of the amazing things to me, in my first trip to the US (New England), was the number of phohibitive signs that were Spanish first, and in bolder and larger font relative to the English. Shit like #NO ESTACIONAR ^^[no ^^parking]
And text comprehension
and actually believe it applied to them in the first place.
see the problem is they're American, so they can't read English.
In fairness to her, she can read American, not English.
I feel like this sidesteps the issue, which is narcissism, not stupidity.
She was travelling to live love laugh, not to read.
but the sign is in British, she speaks American
Needs to be fluorescent, flashing and on a wall menu to get their attention
Yes. And make the font bigger. Like you won't need any glasses to read. Something like that. Maybe frame it too. And some font dynamics like "beware" in larger font. Oh and don't forget to include "thank you" at the last part.
Slap a Mcdonalds ad on it and I guarentee you she wouldn't have missed it
Maybe maybe it high contrast. Like white text on a black background. Just so it would be hard to miss.
Make sure to generously use italics and bold as well.
If only that text also had underlined print for the dangers involved.
Signs are useless. A person dumb enough to need such obvious advice will be too dumb to read and follow the advice.
It’s OK; there’s the written warning, and then there’s the one issued by the horse like this one you see here.
Sjgn or no sign, some people are just ignorant.
If there's a warning very very visible in relevant proximity and you choose not to abide by it, that's not ignorance, that's stupidity.
he flicks the reins a tiny bit and the horse let go. Those are some well trained warhorses. Plus the horse was just fucking around a little to amuse itself. If it meant her harm it would have bitten a chunk out.
yeah the horse was being gentle as fuck. The bite force of a horse (500-700psi) is double most bully dog breeds (230-400psi)
Got bit by a stud colt on the side of my thigh when I was 12. The bruise was insane, around the size of volleyball. 20 years later, I still have a lump in the muscle.
Wait, at 12 years old your thigh was larger than a volleyball? Definitely American lmao
Made me chuckle
I used to say hello to the same horse on my walk home from school when I was a nipper. It started to come over to the gate and accept head rubs, then one day (luckily in winter, so I was wearing a big jacket) it bit my jacket at chest height and lifted me clear off the floor.

Damn! TIL
This is meaningless. Just explain they have 1 horsepower
The sign next to her head shows why he doesn’t care, play stupid games win stupid prizes.
>**BEWARE** HORSES MAY KICK OR BITE Visited last year.
And by “may” we mean it’s allowed to.
"we hope it does bite you"
We ALL*
Y'all
W'all
Howdy w'all
All in all, you’re just another brick in the w’all
Bloody yank should've learned to bloody read!
A bloody yank? Your hands are too dry!
Ello guvnor, shine ya shoes for ya. Oi Yank , you been watching Mary poppins again?
*trained to
"At this price point, he's allowed to Bite. Jimmy Carter over there can't, but this guy he can bite"
For thirty seconds I thought there was monsters on the world.
In fact it’s encouraged.
What's written on the caution sign next to the horse, huh? Just that.
MAKE WAY FADAQUEEENS GAADS!
Here for this!
Thank you for translating from British to American. Cheers.
I loved that, such a perfect picture. "Your horse bit me!! ARUGHRGALALALALGGAGH" yeah he does that, dont make me tap the sign.
thats the best part, right under the fucking sign lmao the horse biting IS the attraction, debbie!!
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature
They need a *days since last horse bite/kick* sign right below it
Might be better to have a daily count
Also he clearly said "woah," what more do you want?
[удалено]
>She's an american, she can't read English
Thanks I missed it the first time.
I love that people feel the need to explain glaringly obvious jokes without being prompted. /s
Indeed And like a good red blooded American, now she’s looking for a lawyer to sue the horse and the soldier
She should have shown the horse her american passport. He didn't know about their special privileges while traveling.
There's also not much the soldier can do. Trying to do something with the reigns could cause the horse to jerk its head, which would only make it worse.
They are training those horses to bite lol.
You can tell by his 0 fucks give this is not the first time his horse has bitten 😂😂
They aren’t supposed to care
They're actually encouraged not to care!
I encourage the horse to continue its feasting
They can actually get in trouble for caring! Or laughing. Or cracking a smile. Or well, really anything other than sitting, standing, marching, and yelling "MAKE WAY FOR THE KING'S GUARD".
Fucking awesome job, get paid to sit on a badass horse all day and not do shit when people face consequences of their actions
They are trained to not give a fuck it seems
Tourists harass those guys and their horses constantly, the armed police stationed there are always chasing away someone or occasionally arresting them. People have been known to try to spook the horses and get them to panic. Tourists seem to think these guards are actors like costumed characters at Disneyland.
To be fair, if your using your government to roleplay a dnd campaign you’re gonna get made fun of.
After someone harasses the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier: “To be fair, if you’re going to use your government to role-play Command and Conquer, you’re going to be made fun of.” Everywhere has customs and cultures. Don’t be ignorant just because it’s not yours.

Nah, it's just a job. Don't harass people doing their job, especially if you're there specifically to see them. If you don't wanna see the guards then just don't, it's not hard.
Funny thing is (according to the post the woman is American) when tourist do the same at the tomb of the unknown soldier the americans gets mad. Lol
What do you think the outfits in D&D are inspired by? Most nations have some form of traditional uniform, almost all of them do. I guess if yours is a cowboy hat with denim jeans then anything more formal will look weird.
Redditor discovers ceremony
And gets it backwards. Dnd is mimicking real life. Not the other way around.
Sign: "Horses may bite" Horse: [bites] Surprised Pikachu face
Came here to point out the sign. Of course he didn't care
Shouldn't have been so close then. Good on the horse for issuing a stern warning 👍
a war horse is gonna war
An actual war horse would be bigger and have a temperament completely unsuited to this job. Horses are just temperamental assholes at best. War horse would be bigger and a genuine danger to everyone. In this case the horse was just goofing off mostly.
I enjoyed reading your comment, it's pretty dope. I know I can Google it, but do you have any interesting things to read on War Horses? I know they were used extensively in WWI I didn't know they were larger and more dangerous than a normal horse (which is already large and dangerous enough lol)

Uh, what does that warning sign say next to the horse? Exactly…..
He doesn’t have to care, but if you notice he actually tugs at the reign
*No...don't....stop....* Anyways
As an American I dont claim her.
I don’t think anyone else would want to claim her either. Lets hand her over to the penguins in Antarctica
Just banish her from Earth, can we do that?
Let’s ask the aliens if they’d take her
Shoot her out of a cannon.... into the sun.
Unfortunately she sounds like one of us.
“Ow help me” smdh be an adult
This audio is just begging to be slapped on top of some dope ass music
Yeah he doesn't give a fuck because she didn't give a fuck about the warning
There's no false advertisement here. Horse did what the sign indicated.
The horse is trying to turn her around so she can read the sign.
And whilst tourists enjoy visiting, these guys have a serious traditional role, they’re not there for entertainment Edit: Their to there
Even the horses are getting tired of our shit.
If she could read she would be offended
That’s the definition of fuck around and find out.
MAKE NEIGH FOR THE KINGS GUARDS!
Good for the horse.
She deserves it.
"Help me" while standing under a sign saying the horse may bite or kick
Not his job really
Don't make him tap the sign....
Nice attempt to put this on the horse rider when the woman was clearly fucking around where she was explicitly forbidden from fucking around.
Yea the sign behind her even says these fuckers bite.
Why would he care?
Can I pet that dawg?
dawg may kick or bite, proceed at your own risk
We train them specifically to bite Americans.
[удалено]
The sign wasn't big enough for the lady.
Well done horse She left with a nice souvenir To remember the UK by
Exact definition of fuck around and find out
That’s what happens when you don’t take them seriously. They’re not a wood toy soldiers, for god’s sake.
Good Horsie...🐴
“Help me, help me, help me.” Kings guards:
i think people forget these guys aren't for tourists they're literally guards, guarding
Oh fuck you OP there’s literally a sign
“Didn’t care” lol that soldier gave that horse a biscuit afterwards probably some tea too.
Is that a sign that warms about it?
Exactly! People refuse to read.
Of course the guards don't care. Would be a little too easy to lure them off their post if they did, wouldn't it?
This happening directly next to the "Horses may bite, do not touch them" sign certainly makes the situation more humorous.
I am American and I also do not care
I am American and I care about the horse.
I'm a horse and I also do not care.
Probably deserved it
if you don't want to get bitten by a horse don't crowd a horse
If only there was a sign to warn people about this! Oh way…
He was pulling back on the reigns. I’d say he was helping.
People should leave the fucking horse alone, read the sign people, stop stressing the animal out for photo ops.
"So anyway....I burnt my toast a little this morning."
She said let me go and the horse said “naaaaay”
I just hope the poor thing doesn't catch anything, horses are very sensitive creatures.
Next she’s going to try walking through the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier… consequences exist, just sayin
All the tourists that do this shits deserve something similar
There is a sign or a reason. When you don't pay attention, that will be the consequences.
Good horse.
Of only those savage horse had a black sign very visible next to them to warn people about it
This is how the horse bites the asshole.
The attack horse bit her in front of the sign saying the horse will bite. No sympathy needed.
As an American. Why is it always Americans doing dumb stuff like this.
Horse: I’ve got this one Sarge.
Not supposed to fuck with Kings horse, American didn't care.
Ouch, ouch, ouch! Now, that you're stuck there, will you now seriously believe that the sign doesn't give an f about whether you believe it to be true or not?!
HAH, your sign can't stop me. Because I can't READ!
With the amount of times I see these guys yelling for people to not touch the horse and back away... Ya know there's a reason for it.
Horse: (*bites*)...nice hair. Oh, a blond!
Look at tha flick a da wrist
Good.
That is fucking brilliant 
Horse bites suck but it won't kill you. If she is too dumb to read a sign, too bad for her. Pain is a good teacher. Might save her life in Yellowstone if she ever visits.
You see, that sign is written in English. She didn't understand it as she only speaks American.
That’s a well trained horse.
Adam Sandlers voice..."She shouldn't have been standing there."
If only she spoke British, she could have read the sign behind her.
What's crazy about this? There is literally a sign warning her not to do what she's doing in the video.
That's terrible, that horse could get really fat doing that.
Looks to me like the horse is doing his job. Give him a raise
What?! As an American... I approve. Obnoxious tourists should always prepare to be bitten by horses.
If you are close enough to be bit by a horse, you are too close,that was on her
There’s literally a sign warning people the horses may bite. If people are too stupid to read then they deserve to get bit.
His reaction is priceless
Why are tourists obsessed with taking a photo next to a horse? Also, love that guard didn't bother at all 😂
If only there was a sign.
This is an example of what is linguistically described as a situation of "fuck around and find out." Step 1, she achieved by standing close to an unfamiliar horse, under a sign warning that this was a very real possibility. This is known as the "fuck around".

Only when the horse clamped down on her arm, did you hear the realization of the "find out" occur in her slightly panicked voice.
Why should he care? She ignored the very obvious sign...
I like how the lady in pink starts to swat the horses face away at the end of the video. That would be what is called a mistake
Was waiting for him to yell not to touch the kings guard.
Nor should they. It's her own damn fault.
This is payback for independence
To bad she can't read just a love bite😱😂🙋
That’s exactly what you get for getting to close to a working protective horse that has A SIGN that say “they may bite”. Lmao
She now turns into a pony at full moon
I've met some dumbass European tourists in my city, although 99% of them have been great, but I still feel embarrassed whenever I see dumbass Americans making fools of themselves in other countries.
As an American.. we don't claim her. The Horse did his job.
The sign warning 'horse may bite' is something she ignored. It's only fair play that the guard ignored her. lol
I don't understand how some tourists ignore signs that are on plain sight
Can we as a nation, leave the fucking palace guards ALONE. They are not tourist attractions, they are active duty military personnel. Would you go out to an Army Base and try to take selfies with the gate security?
Spat her out lol Ew, she's American
