Humans love the tail pull.
Anyone who has fursuited has experienced having their tail yanked.
The usual culprit is a child, and hey, who can blame them? I'm sure
I gave Goofy fits when I was 6 years old.
Sometimes the tugger is an adolescent, trying to be funny.
One stern look from the plastic eyes sends them skittering
away like leaves in a strong breeze.
The real puzzler are the adults, especially the dreaded tail lifters.
Walking down Main Street I was accosted by these two young ladies.
I thought "Cool, another photo op" and got ready to pose.
Nope, they just wanted to look under ma' tail.
Really?
Ladies, it's just a dog butt. Nothing to see here.
Persistant little devils, they wanted to know the exact workings
of the suit. I showed them the front zipper and assured them that
only hole in the back is the one that my tail goes through.
They were hard to convince.
I agreed to a no-holds-barred caboose exam.
The ladies lifted and giggled, cackled and pointed.
Then they realized that it was just fur and cheeks.
Very boring.
They dropped my tail and gave me a shrug.
"Sorry," the taller one said. "I guess we owe you an apology."
"For what?" I asked. "That's the most fun I've had since Mardi Gras."
We exchanged hugs and they went back to butt patrol.
I resumed my dogwalk down Main Street.
Maybe I should stop walking around naked.

*waggwaggwagg* Oh the tailgrab! Yeah, I got the chance to experience this when I showed up in suit to the local bi weekly ARC PEI dance back in mid December. I knew it was just a matter of time until someone thought it a good idea to pull my tail. I had
salix with me as a spotter. Together, We showed a lot of people what furry and fursuiting is all about and he was very good at explaining things. He couldn't prevent the sneak attack to my tail from the drunken dancer though. It was a combination pull and lift/look. hehe. I wasn't all that offended but did turn around and give her the furry finger wagg. My spotter went ape shit and gave her a strongly worded lecture about not pulling tails. She looked shocked and ashamed so I gave her a big hug and danced with her and her friend for a bit. After a bit she apologized and gave me a muzzle kiss. I think her friend was jealous! In all I had a great time at the dance to spite having my tail lifted and pulled

I love it when people say that fursuiters should wear clothing when suiting. You are dressed up as an animal, animals never wear clothing. If you think about it, you are wearing more than most people because you can not be seen at all. The irony is actually rather amusing in itself. And the fact that you are considering it, makes it even more ironical (which apparently is an actual word too).
I love the fact that you take the time to reply to read every comment, reply to almost all of them (some you just can not reply to), and you are creative with all your comments. Thankfully, your comment was sarcastic, I hate when people cover up fursuits with clothing. All that does is bunch of the fur (and mat it up) and cover the great quality work that was done on it. And I am sure the fur does not stay in place that well either, which leaves bald spots.
I've had a few adults start fiddling with my tail. Silly curious humans. I usually respond by pulling (gently) on their belt or a belt loop and looking as confused as possible as if to say "where's yours?"
As always, great shot and great story! Maybe it's time for a pair of board shorts?

I once got a really bad tail-tugger; a young boy, maybe 5 or 6, and Hell in a tiny pair of Spiderman sneakers.
I was innocently making my way to school to do some suiting there, when I suddenly felt a lot of weight on my tail. I turned and there was the little brat, tugging, flailing, and yanking my tail; I think he wanted my tail for himself. After trying to negotiate with the kid, his mother came along and apologized, saying that her son loves fluffy animal tails. After hearing the reason why he nearly dismembered my tail, I forgave the kid and went on my way, but now I'm always very aware of my surroundings and I tend to keep my tail away from all young ones when I spot them.
It's a good thing my tail was sewn tough, or else I would have had to skitter home with a broken tail.

Isn't it interesting how after fursuiting for a while, the tail seems to grow a nervous system of its own that interfaces with the suiter through the belt? The slightest bump, yank, or lift is felt like it had been an appendage you were born with. The worst sensation is after a long con and after you pack everything away, you notice you're artificial appendage isn't behind you any more. Kinda like Ghost-pains.
OH, I've had quite a few tail pullers and lifters on my excursions... So much that I need to have my tail looked at by a qualifying veterinarian (My seam on top of the tail is ripping, easy fix though, and I also need to check the connection with the body suit. Yeah, sewn in tail...)
I've had some odd ones, but not that bad yet. The best/worst moment I had was while suiting around town for halloween and having two random college looking guys yelling at me to come over and talk to them. I approached them and was promptly greeted with them saying "Are you a furry? Do you yiff?" My response was simply "Huh? I have no idea what you're talking about, I just got this to wow everyone else at the contest." Then the one on the right disappointed, said "Oh, I thought for a moment that thing had a zipper." I ended the conversation with, "It does, how else do you think I get in and out of it?"
Me thinks you should carry a bottle of water to squirt their noses with next time someone tries to hike your tail like that. XD
