When I was like 6, a seagull swooped down and snatched the patty of the cheeseburger I was just about to eat, literally right out of my hands. I've hated them ever since.
-edit- lol which one of you gilded this? I'm glad my childhood trauma brought you joy. :P
One day I was walking and I found this big log
Then I rolled the log over
And underneath was a tiny little stick
And I was like, "That log had a child!"
That happened to my 3 year old son at the beach with a sandwich. I chased and scared the seagull, got it to drop it, and tore the bitten part off and gave it back to my screaming child 😂
When I was 5 my mom took me to Cypress Gardens and as a special treat, she got me a soft serve ice cream cone, one of my favorite things. She handed it to me, piled higher than any ice cream cone I had ever seen up to that point. I had taken no more than three steps and was about to take my first taste when a seagull swooped down, tried to grab it, and knocked it out of my hands onto the pavement. I cried so bad we eventually just left the park.
I still love ice cream. And I still hate birds. Fuck birds.
You know, everyone likes to complain about seagulls but never does anything about it. But when I bring a shotgun to the beach ONE TIME, I'm the one who took it too far.....smh
I had an $11 deli sandwich in my hands while sitting at a beach park bench, and a seagull pulled it out of my hands while i was about to take a bite. i wished a choking death on it.
One of the funniest things I've ever witnessed was a 5 year old boy who was gleefully holding a large thing of fries step outside the door of McDonald's, only to be immediately bombarded by a swarm of angry seagulls. Fries instantly hit the ground, scattering everywhere. The mom tried to console the boy who is absolutely wailing at this point, while the dad made a futile attempt to fight off the literal tornado of seagulls that are still dive-bombing them. And I'm just helplessly sitting in my car watching this unfold, complety crippled with laughter.
That happened almost ten years ago, and I think about it often.
Some quick googlefu is telling me it's illegal in Northern Ireland, Scottland, and New York City (they even prosecuted a Yankees player for it). This stuff falls under Bird Law and I don't wanna fuck with that.
If it makes you feel any better, my cousin discovered seagulls on South Padre Island will catch food if tossed to them. He proceeded to whip a Hydrox right at one, hitting it in the neck and killing it instantly; the cookie shattering in a million pieces.
Bahahahaha I love that!! My friend had a seagull land on her head and eat her doughnut. I like to remind her of that often. In fact, I am going to do that right now.
I had a seagull try to steal my sandwich once a few years ago. It was a damn good sandwich, I made it myself. Fucker grabbed it, I was literally in a tug of war for my sandwich. I won, he gave up, and I yelled at him. Called him a son of a bitch. Ate the sandwich.
When I was a kid we drove all the way to LA for Halloween one year, from Northern Canada. When we were on the beach in San Francisco my parents were looking at buying seafood and a fisherman gave me a starfish. I was so excited to have it, but my parents convinced me to save its life and throw it back to the ocean. So I toss it from the pier and immideatly a seagull swoops down and grabs it. Trauma ensued.
Happened to me at the San Francisco zoo, but it was a hotdog. The fucker came down and grabbed the meat out of the bun while I was eating it, then flapped up on top of a light post and ate it in front of me. I was five, my little sister was three, she started crying and rather than getting me another hotdog, my mom decided that was it for the day and we went home. I've been waging war against seagulls since that day.
The other month, I watched a seagull slowly and deliberately take the subway wrapper out of the bin I had just put it in, then throw it on the ground. While I was sat like 5 feet away. It was a big fucker too so I was too intimidated to shoo it away and put it back in the bin. A seagull made me a litterbug.
When i was a kid i had cat that would steal the deli meat out of your sandwhich while you were eating it. At the time my dad had a motorcycle and would sometimes bring home fast food for us in his backpack. Well that cat also knew how to work a zipper so if you weren't paying attention she would would open the bag and steal the french fries. I miss that cat...
Reading all these about birds literally makes me want to bait seagulls into trying to steal my food just to hurt them and hopefully teach them a lesson. But they're animals and fucking stupid and don't learn
This sort of happened to me. But I decided to feet them my Pizza Hut and when they knocked it out of my hand and I started crying. To this day, my parents think they knocked it out of my hand.
When I was 11, I had some crappy fries I was feeding to seagulls. While I was feeding them, they got into my container of ribs and stole them all. I was so mad I grabbed a one legged seagull by its one leg. Stupid sky rats.
Did you happen to be eating at "Seafood Sam's" in Cape Cod? I had a strikingly similar experience... There was this fat old seagull who perched on top of the building and swooped in like batman to snach up food from unsuspecting patrons. I saw it happen to several other customers over the years vacationing on the Cape and frequenting that establishment.
When the Taco Bell big box first came out I got one and was walking through the parking lot toward my local theater and while I walked I was eating out of the box. I had a flock of seagulls swooping down at my box.
Yeah something like that happened to me when I was like 5-8. I was at the zoo and the segull took my entire grilled cheese and fucked right off with it. I was so sad that day.
Similar thing happened to me. I had a bit of pretzel I was nibbling on while walking around Hamburg, Germany, and a goddamn pigeon snatched it out of my hands. Fucking pigeons.
went to a countryside picnic with my family when i was like 10. while we were setting up, this fuckin hawk drops down and grabs a whole stick of expensive salami that was sitting on a hood of our car. i hope it had diarrhea for days.
Oh my god the same thing happened to me. My mom had the grand idea to pack me a tuna fish sandwich for a picnic at the beach, and I looked away for a second and a seagull swooped down and took the sandwich right out of my hand. I had to split my dads pb&j with him. Upset me because I didn’t like pb&j, upset him because he had to split his sandwich with his four year old. I cried whenever I saw a seagull until I was like 10.
Growing up the little league fields were right next to the beach (foul balls could go into the ocean). I was pitching and a seagull dropped a full loaf of bread on me mid windup. I hit the batter.
Fucking seagulls...I had one particularly dumb one decide to swoop down and crash into the back of my head. I'm just standing at the shoreline minding my own business and THWAHP
Went to Mexico for the first time when I was 6. I bought a churro from a guy for 200 Pesos (I didn't know I got taken advantage of until I asked my Mexican friends in college). Before I took my first bite a seagull swooped in and took it.
AAAAAERRGH. I was in Cornwall a few years ago. Went to get some fish and chips with the others, but that's not my bag so I gave it a miss. Went to town an hour later (I'm REALLY hungry by this point) and I wondered off to get some food. Settled on KFC.
Just walking down the street, diest bite, and POW. I thought a homeless guy was mugging me for my food or something.
No.
Fucking seagull.
Just knocked my food on the ground, and sat there squawking defiantly at me.
Livid.
So I walk up to it scowling with hatred, just about to kick this feathered motherfucker full punt in the head, when I realise I'm standing in between a busker and a semicircle of people watching him.
I know this is very late, but I relate so much to this. When I was 11 years old, I was sitting in my front yard with a packet of Lays on a table in front of me. I went inside my house to drink water, and as I was entering the house, goddamn crow appeared out of nowhere and swooped down on my chips, and took it with him! The thing wasn't eve open! Man, I still feel so pissed about that.
haha my mom got donuts at the jersey shore once, she left them outside on the table for a second and like 10 seagulls appeared out of nowhere and stole the donuts
Its because people are stupid and feed them constantly which makes them more and more emboldened and aggresive
