Alexa, play "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls

By John - 10/07/2013 02:48 - United States

Today, while leaving McDonald's, I threw a fry out the window to a flock of seagulls. I watched in the rear-view mirror as it landed in the opposite lane and about 60 winged rats descended upon the street, causing a truck to veer off the road and crash. FML

Today, I was eating with a friend while walking on the sidewalk. A couple of pigeons were bothering us so I threw a fry onto the street. As a flock of pigeons were gathering around the fry, a truck drove by. Only four survived. FML

Today, I was unbearably hungry, so I went to Wendy's, bought myself a Baconator and took it outside to eat on the patio. One bite in, I went back to grab a few napkins. Within seconds of my departure, a seagull snatched it up. FML

Today, I left my sunroof on my truck open for 5 minutes while I ran into the bank. When I came out, a seagull had gotten into my truck. I managed to open the doors and get it out, but not before it tore up a seat and pooped everywhere inside my truck. FML

Today, I was eating a hamburger on the street when a pigeon came down to take a bite. I ran and got 30 birds or so chasing me. My legs were burning, half of my burger was gone, and an entire office building was laughing at me. FML

Today, I went to the supermarket and picked up some groceries, along with what I thought was a bag of chips. I ripped it open in the car and realized it was a bag of birdseed. As I spat out the birdseed through the car's open window and tried to clean the mess, a pigeon flew into my car and attacked me. FML

Today, I drove to the beach for an hour to relax before returning to the intense workload of midterms. A kid walking by threw a cracker near me and I was instantly attacked by a group of seagulls. FML

Today, as I was leaving Walmart, a huge group of birds settled along the wire above the street. I thought it would be hilarious to scare them, so I stuck my head out the window and screamed. The birds responded by simultaneously shitting on my car in very neat rows. FML

Today, while driving, I put on my hazards and slowed to a stop to let a family of geese cross the street. The pick-up truck behind me however, decided to change lanes and speed off, running over at least half of them. FML

Today, I was walking through the park eating fries. There was an old woman feeding a few pigeons. They didn't seem too interested, so I threw some fries down as I walked by to try and help her out. About 2 minutes later, I heard screaming. A huge group of pigeons were attacking the old woman. FML

Today, I spent the only money I had left for lunch only to take two bites before a seagull snatched my burger from my hands. I had to shamefully start walking back to work with a pair of girls laughing at me and an empty stomach. FML

It seems that a fry is an inverse grenade... Just toss it and a bunch of birds are sucked into it, causing mass destruction...

There's a difference between hitting one animal and potentially hitting a flock of birds. One is not so dangerous, the other has the potential to be incredibly dangerous.

88 - more dangerous than swerving, and potentially hitting another car, a tree, a lamppost, etc?

Leki_0609 11

Yea incredibly dangerous if it was a car, but it was a truck. I think you meant the truck was incredibly dangerous for the pigeons.

Isn't that a rule at the zoo and large parks that contain something.. I don't know, dangerous? Like... Bears? Generally not something like a bird. But I don't think I'd feed a seagull. More like a duck or pidgeons.

Although quite hilarious and odd timing. It actually doesn't come down to your fault. Don't be so hard on yourself. No you shouldn't have thrown the fry out of a moving vehicle but then again the other driver shouldn't have veered so hard. Hitting the brakes would have worked just as well. (Where I live this sort of thing -animals popping in the road- is quite common so maybe I'm just applying logic from here but hey they don't call it an opinion for nothing)
