Seen wonderful karma at work today

Still see parents feeding ducks with white sliced bread.🤦🏼‍♀️

Since becoming mum to chickens I appreciate birds..thank you...the pigeons knew...I hope they telling this tale to their friends and family

I was going to a training day at a hotel, was about to pull into a narrow entrance leading to the hotel carpark but overshot so needed to reverse back a bit.

White van man was speeding and was right up my rear, beeping his horn.

As I got out of my car (I wanted to ask him if he would please reverse back a little so I could pull in) a small lorry pulled up behind him then joy oh joy a police car pulled up behind the lorry - which he couldn't see.

He wound his window down and was shouting all sorts of obscenities, & his passenger mate joined in - just as the police approached. When he drew breath, I said in a loud voice 'I was only going to ask if you would reverse back a bit so I can pull into the car park. You are both very rude!'

The police were then either side of their windows and said, 'We suggest you do as the lady has asked, then we will be having a word with you both.......'

Karma!!

Karma at work for sure!! Nice story!

I remember that thread! Did the OP ever start another thread with the outcome?

I went on a country walk with the in laws. My MIL is very critical of me and is not afriaid tell me my faults, but always out of earshot of my husband.

She was telling me my footwear (trainers) was no good and I should purchase an expensive pair of walking shoes like the rest of the family. About 2 minutes her trusty shoes failed her as she slipped over and slid about 10 metres down a hill. Covered in mud. I had a chuckle. My trainers didn’t let me down

Well done Karma, I absolutely hate when kids try to kick pigeons and can't understand why parents find that funny.

Not karma, but the other day I was in the park, walking my small dog on the lead, and there was a bunch of boys, aged something like 11-13 (let's say old enough to be in the park without their parents) who stood in the middle of the path.

One of them decided to scare and to bark at my dog, who naturally barked back and growled (not the bare teeth kind of growl, just the low growl of a scared dog), I pretended to unleash my dog and asked the boy if he wanted to have a word with him.

The boy ran away like I was suddenly walking a grizzly bear. His mates laughed at him and I asked them to never do that again, that it was very dangerous to deliberately scare a dog, even a small one can hurt them. I was livid but somehow managed to stay relatively calm.

After that I felt I definitely entered middle-age territory (I had never never told off kids before)

I live on a cliff and there are cattle, sheep and ponies roaming freely.

When the ponies have foals, the idiot tourists try to pet them and have their photos taken with them which results in some ponies feeling scared and they will run over the cliff edge resulting in a horrible death.

Even with signs, people don't care.

Vermin is just a definition I believe that if you take a grey squirrel to a rescue centre for treatment they're not allowed to be released as they're not native.

Sometimes it's not even tiny kids. I saw an at least 8 year old running at some ducks and swinging his leg as hard as he could to try and kick one like a football.

Parents weren't watching but luckily heard me say 'If that little bastard kicks a duck!..' and ran to grab him.

Vile little shit.

Doesn't mean you can abuse them.

Wtf is wrong with people?!

lol 🤣

Absolutely LOL
just because you believe an animal which has a right to be on earth is "vermin" doesn't mean your children or dog get to bully them.
I don't particularly like pigeons but scaring them for no reason is nasty

😃

Yeah. We saw one eat a squirrel once...

Well deserved 🤣

I had my kids out a few days ago at a local loch. There was loads of geese on the grass, gathered together. My kids were talking about them and showing loads of interest. My 5yo DS asks if he can chase them, I tell him no to just leave them alone etc. In comes 2 boys of around 10, who immediately start shouting and screaming while running straight into the group of geese, making them scatter and fly away. Their mums were standing talking and laughing at them doing it. Their faces could barely move and their lips stuck out inches from their faces.

My kids started asking why did those children do that, why were they not being nice to the birds etc. I told them (loudly enough for the mums to hear) that such behaviour is learned from their parents and some obviously don’t care to tell their children to be kind to animals.

I honestly hate when parents don’t teach their children to respect any animals.

some people carry a baggie of unsalted unshelled peanuts to pass out to lunchtime crow friends...we don't have crows in my area so I'm jealous of you enjoying workday lunches with them AND am so proud of you for being the human they ran to for protection!

Pretty sure this means you're a disney princess, here's your crown 👑 wear it with pride

So do we 🤷🏼‍♀️

The only karma I have seen was on the dual carriageway road into Peterborough. Some gimp in a soft top BMW very aggressively tailgated me all the way in. I pulled over to the left so he shot off, clipped a lorry and ended up upside down on the middle of the roundabout. I gave him a huge shit eating grin as he chambered out and I drove past.

If only. They take the entire clutch and are perfectly happy if there aren't any more eggs, because it's more important to them to have the last egg than it is for the species to survive.

Love this. The crow whisperer!

😁

It isn't just children. My office is opposite a very famous landmark in London and I get to see adults tormenting pigeons all the time.

In once case a complete arsehole with a buggy ramming it at pigeons for no reason. I said to him leave them alone, they're not bothering you.

I say it to anyone who does it.

The shit is awesome 👌

Your lack of self awareness is eye watering. Do yourself a favour, step away from the keyboard and for the sake of your children spend some time reflecting on how you are parenting rather than fighting an argument you must, at some level, realise you lost as soon you made your initial post.
