Today, while on a run, I thought I'd run into a flock of geese in a field. Doing so, I learned that when you do this alone, the birds don't fly away, they attack. FML
I agree, your life sucks (7117) - you totally deserved it (36911)

KARMA, FOOOL .

They're called Canadian Geese for a reason.
Be glad they didn't burn down the white house for invading their territory.
(War of 1812 joke there, btw.)
Lamest joke ever. And if they're Canadian geese what can they really do to you that would hurt, eh?

automatic win for referencing the birds. I was afraid of them for a few days after watching the movie/reading the short story. xD
OP - ydi!

The Birds is an awesome film!! =D
Creepy as fuck.
*EDIT* What the Hell happened to the comment by Jenkins about the Birds? =(
Got replaced by some rabbit raping comment.
Mine makes no sense now.
#128 - On 07/05/2009 at 8:52pm by Bringiton80
ahhh this has happened to me before. I was walking my dog, and the poor thing wanted to play with the geese, the geese did not want to play.
#3 - On 07/04/2009 at 7:38pm by cha40
this has happened to my dog. geese are never friendly. OP is stupid for doing this
#127 - On 07/05/2009 at 4:57pm by amy_shmamy
haha someone's never been around pissed off canadian geese before it seems
YDI
#5 - On 07/04/2009 at 7:38pm by grlwitperlEring
I have no pity for you.... you definitely deserve that one.
#6 - On 07/04/2009 at 7:38pm by thebigslim
Are you serious? You've obviously never encountered a flock of geese. You don't even need to go near them to be mercilessly impaled.
YDI for being a jerk...FYL for them being bigger jerks.
#7 - On 07/04/2009 at 7:40pm by Crimson_regret
YDI.
I have two geese and they are evil, flesh-eating bitches. Should have avoided them!
#12 - On 07/04/2009 at 7:47pm by HondaGirl2010
woah, they must be Canadian geese.
i tried this once they just ran and flew away. bad luck mate.
#13 - On 07/04/2009 at 7:48pm by iwearfeathers
Lol, you totally deserved that. But who am I to tell you that? I tried to pick up a baby goose a few weeks ago (yes, it was Canadian) and it's mother flew right at me and mauled my arm! ...all I wanted to do was pet it; it was cute..........
#16 - On 07/04/2009 at 7:55pm by ArtandLove
Yes it is THAT stupid. I'd rather fight a rottweiler than a flock of angry geese. I had a friend who had a couple "guard geese" to chase off intruders and those bastards would attack me every freaking time. And they can hurt bad.
Besides even if the birds hadn't attacked him it still would have a YDI for trying to scare what the OP thought were defenseless animals
Hahaha!!! YDI....MAJOR. Did you at least have fun trying to run from them?...
#19 - On 07/04/2009 at 8:01pm by missjazzy_love
Geese are nasty as shit. I've had bites on my legs that took weeks to heal. Haha, I can't imagine running into a pack of them, if you really didn't know that geese are Assholes FYL indeed.
#21 - On 07/04/2009 at 8:09pm by Phreephorm
yeah...its the GEESE who are assholes for not taking your shit...dumbass.
#24 - On 07/04/2009 at 8:17pm by organisedchaos
I love how some of you are saying YDI as if the very act of running at some birds is a VERY bad thing to do. Are you kidding me? She mever said that she was going to kill them or anything. FYL.
LOL. YDI but totally understandable. Had a couple geese growing up. Those are some of the most fowl tempered animals on the planet.
#28 - On 07/04/2009 at 8:28pm by SuperNovice
I was driving and these geese just walk into the middle of the road and cut me off. The one at the head of the group just stared me down. They aren't afraid of cars that weigh 3 tons and are 10 times bigger than them. Cocky animals.
LOL ydi temptation must have been so great for you to do something as stupid as that.
#17 lol again your right always do it with a group never or you'll get your balls handed to you by animals hahah
#39 - On 07/04/2009 at 8:55pm by DEVASTATOR
haha you do deserve that but ive been there and those f*ckers are vicious....live and learn.
#41 - On 07/04/2009 at 8:56pm by suicide_girl
damn geese, something like this happened to me once, except i didn't purposely try to frighten them.
I have two geese and they are nice.. they get greedy when it's feeding time and may snip a bit but other than they're fine. haha it sucks all geese aren't like mine
hehe I got the stink eye from a flock of geese while sitting alone at a park bench. I got the fuck out of there as fast as possible and avoided eye contact. YDI for fucking with geese!
Even if u did make em fly away u coulda been in danger as they all fly away and crash into you at once
YDI. i've known that if you annoy geese they will attack you eversince i was 3 (or maybe even younger)
"I thought I'd run into a flock of geese" I re-read this three times to make sure I didn't read it wrong.
haha i choked on my apple when i read your comment. don't know why
#100 - On 07/05/2009 at 6:10am by itsnotfair
lmao this totally made my day.
but i hate geese, there the bitchiest animals.
#60 - On 07/04/2009 at 10:51pm by MeLiSsa321123
I've said it a million times, but I'll say it again.
Karma, fool!
#63 - On 07/04/2009 at 11:03pm by DamienTheRabbit
LOL @ 59.
ditto.
some people really shouldnt be aloud go outside by themselves.
hazadous to their health and the health of other things.
#65 - On 07/04/2009 at 11:09pm by RedBlueGreenDot
I think everyone should start comments with FIRST! That way it will be pointless when the real first does it!!
Um, for starters never mess with Canadian Geese. And secondly, never EVER mess with Canadian Geese protecting their young, like they tend to do this time of year.
#70 - On 07/04/2009 at 11:27pm by justaquietghost
I know what you mean!
Now their babies look like adult geese , so I get attacked by the parents when I had no idea I was even near their baby!
I was on a bike too..
At my school they run away. I don't blame you either it's hella fun!!
#71 - On 07/04/2009 at 11:36pm by brunoisbeast
When will you people learn? This I'd the second 'I wanna be in a movie' FML today. People: you are not in a movie. GET THE HELL OVER IT
Just a note... It's a "gaggle" of geese, not a flock...
#80 - On 07/05/2009 at 12:46am by CyanideSoybean
I wound up fighting one of those bastards when i worked landscaping. damn thing broke my shovel. givin it was a fiberglass handle but still that was a scary fight... it sucks being the only guy on the team lol i have to fight pissed off geese.
Although it turned out we were too close to its nest and it got pissy.
#85 - On 07/05/2009 at 1:46am by Chad_Brisson
loL xD better bring along someone another time u do this..
#86 - On 07/05/2009 at 1:56am by xxxsportygurlxxx
Geese are dangerous. Once, I got ina fight witha goose; we pulled a blade on me. I atempted to attack it from behind, but it spun with a counter and slashed my face. Frustrated, I pulled a pistol and began to shoot at it. The goose, in a cocky way, began dodging at high speeds. I cornered it, and took the shoot; unfortunately, the goose managed to cut my bullet in half with its knife. It then took a slash at me, which I dodged; however, he ended up ruining my book shelf. I found a chain gun on the floor, and was just about to use it when.....I woke up.
#87 - On 07/05/2009 at 2:28am by GoodpointAllen
I love chasing geese!! That rarely happens if you're at least moderately tall. FYL
#88 - On 07/05/2009 at 2:35am by FuzzyWalnuts
We have geese where i go to schhol. cuz there is this huge lake in the back. once i was sitting out there, and all of a sudden there were well over 50 geese around me. i was so scared. but then it was awsome. cus i was the only one out there.
#89 - On 07/05/2009 at 2:51am by lonleygurl1989
You gotta expect these kinda things if your in Illinois. We're all assholes here, especially the geese!
#91 - On 07/05/2009 at 3:16am by SixGunPsychosis
Lmao, and btw, when you attack chickens with swords, they don't fly away like you'd think. Dozens of them swarm on you and peck you till you die :D
(I learned this in Zelda xP)
#92 - On 07/05/2009 at 3:29am by Avenging_Angel
EPIC YDI~
If you find annoying others funny, you deserve the geese running after you. *lol*
It's not right to scare them off for no reason.
Yeah, sheesh. Just run around, leave the geese to their thing, and they'll leave you to your thing. Show some respect.
Here in Jersey we get alot of Canadian geese at a football field they are so annoying they fly away and come back two minutes later, and then shit gets in our cleats.
You don't have horrible childhood memories of geese chasing you? ): Your parents should have taken you to the duck pond when you were younger (because geese like to hang around there for the free food)...
Ah well... atleast you can tell your children, because no one told you. >>;;;
They ain't pidgeons mate, they are geese. You should know that they are more agressive birds, and you should now know how immature you are.
#105 - On 07/05/2009 at 8:35am by Alexgoesfml
So you're obviously old enough to go for a run, yet you didn't know that geese are dangerous, vicious creatures?
I'm going to say YDI big time... not for being mean to the geese, but because HOLY SHIT you are SO STUPID.
obviously fake. poster would have known that a group of geese is called a gaggle, not a flock... LOL
#109 - On 07/05/2009 at 8:58am by hiddenassassin
hahaha not only do geese atack, they also have flock ore gaggle memory, next time they see you they will atack you again
Not only that, but their wings are big enough to break a grown man's leg.
Oh nature, always weeding out the stupid.
Been there done that. They get tempermental in the early summer with their young. I find it does make for easy target practice.
You all sound like morons..."lets run through a flock of geese and see what happens!" What do you think would happen idiot? I'm frightened by how many people have comments saying they've done the same...my faith in humanity is dwindling.
Pea-size brained geese:1
'advanced' humans: 0
#115 - On 07/05/2009 at 11:52am by vanaathiel
Although you probably should have run around them, I voted FYL because geese are the most horrible animal in existence. Screw mosquitoes are their malaria, we need fundraisers to ship those hissing pricks to a remote island. Maybe then there will be less crap lying all over the ground.
me and a friend did this...we werent really sober either...but we got it recorded and it was quite funny to watch us stumble around as what we called "gooses" (drunk) flew away.
Um... they have babies this time of year you know, and they're geese, not seagulls. YDI, for not using common sense.
#119 - On 07/05/2009 at 1:37pm by crybaby220
LOL obviously! Geese are pricks, I thought that was very common knowledge.
#122 - On 07/05/2009 at 2:49pm by U_idiot
I once fed a goose at a zoo and it bit my finger and made me cry. I was like six. geese is nasty. little f.u.c.k.ers
#123 - On 07/05/2009 at 2:50pm by freefire4629
LOL, who doesn't know geese are mean? But I really don't blame them, if someone came trying to step on me and my friends, I would fight back!
#124 - On 07/05/2009 at 2:51pm by heyitslain
When I die I want it to be the result of me attempting to fight off a gaggle of geese while rescuing a hot chick
#125 - On 07/05/2009 at 3:43pm by TheBigGamer
Just so you know, swans are even worse. They may be pretty, but they can knock you out with blows from their wings, they're that strong. Don't ever mess with a swan.
#126 - On 07/05/2009 at 4:35pm by SaphireScorpion
lol that happened to my little brother , he was 2 years old, and he wanted to see the geese, but they came to him. and they were as tall as him, and he got bit all over, i had to then come along, and beat them off with a stick while holding my brother high up in my arms, and try and run away at the same time, it was very difficult, and they run/fly very fast :|
#129 - On 07/05/2009 at 10:19pm by gemmanicole
grab your 12 gauge and start poppin off rounds.........whenever i see geese they are usualyl flyin...........if i just sat there and they started comin at me, hunting would be 1000 times easier

I run into flocks of geese several times a year and I've never been attacked. I'm not sure I believe this.
#140 - On 07/07/2009 at 1:53am by futurecatlady
Maybe they're different geese...or you just haven't met the evil geese. Because this could definitely happen.
ur dumb . first off what if u ran one over?
secondly, you'd have sh*t all over your tires.
#144 - On 07/07/2009 at 4:33pm by that_gurl15
smart one, the person wasnt driving, they were RUNNING
#146 - On 07/07/2009 at 7:44pm by cLaAaNdEsTiNe
All the Canadian Geese just need to go back to Canada
I heard they're endangered there anyway and its because all of them migrated to Ohio.
haha i gotta do this. one time i led some random goose towards a mother and her baby geese (the real term escapes me) using cereal. the mother seems to be even more protective than usual, to the point where the random goose now has a bald ass
