10 Ways That The Walking Dead Has Prepared You For A Zombie Apocalypse

If Rick hasn't drummed 'survival' into your head by now then you're probably screwed.

For some of you, the idea of a zombie apocalypse keeps you up at night. It's the most terrifying thought that you can think about in your day and if it does happen, you have no idea how you're going to react. You're either going to be completely badass like Shane or Daryl or you'll pussy out like Carl or Father Gabriel, neither of which is good in the long run. You're constantly thinking of ways that you could improve your current zombie plan and you always keep some tins stocked up in your cupboard, you know, just in case. One of the deal breakers with people that you have just met all depends on how good their zombie plan is. Are they going to know what they're doing or are they going to try and scrounge off of you and slow your group down? If they don't even give you an answer straight away of location, defensive method and weapons, then walk away and never look back. You understand that you're sometimes being irrational, but shows like The Walking Dead have prepared you in ways that you would have never considered before, and you're grateful for your conscientious attitude and note taking during every season. People might think that you're being silly but stranger things have happened; Katie Hopkins still gets airtime, and if that can happen, then walkers can happen. So do as Scar sings and always be prepared.

10. Don't Keep Zombies As Pets

Unless you're willing to rip off their jaws and arms and have them on leashes for the rest of your life, they're never going to become entirely domesticated; they'll always want to eat you. If you have a spare barn kicking about, perhaps it's better to be used as a shelter or as a space dedicated to storing supplies as opposed to keeping a bunch of dead people as pets. Plus, that way, you get to eat the chickens instead.
