To moo at cows when driving?

[InvisibleKnickers]

My children say I shouldn't do it, nor should I say "nee-naw" every time we pass an ambulance/police car or fire engine. I see nothing wrong in it and even do it quietly when they are not in the car with me

[RuggerHug]

Stubbly I'm just a thrill to be around, for all creatures ...I have no idea, they could just hang around to mock me in their own way!

[mlamle]

If you (we) see alpacas, it's The Law to sing the title song from Nuzzle & Scratch.

This conversation's brought back memories of a camping trip I went on with mates when I was late teens/early twenties. Our tribe included a couple of lads called Nick and Ben, who were sharing a tent; they were convinced the local sheep were calling them in the morning: "Niiiiii-iiiiiick! Beeee-eee-eeennn!"

[geekymommy]

If that's unreasonable, then I don't wanna be reasonable.

I think there is a llama invasion. A few farms near here too

[MillieMoodle]

• live rurally, not love love! Although we do love it

[MillieMoodle]

I make animal noises as appropriate. We love love rurally so can often hear baa-ing. I have been known to sit in the back garden and baa back, even though I can't actually see any sheep.

Wellthen in our village there is a family who own llamas. They take them round the village for a walk at the weekend, on leads and everything!

[Idliketobeabutterfly]

Yanbu lol. Grrrr autocorrect

[Idliketobeabutterfly]

Yabu. I moo at cows and also talk to my plants. My son hugs the tree outside the house when we are leaving for nursery.

[MummyBex1985]

I nee naw, baa and moo.

And also proclaim when I see duck signs.

[sallysparrow157]

I like to be rebellious and worry sheep - if walking through a field of sheep I will shout 'gas bills! Exams! Have you left the door unlocked?!' And so on at them

[feellikeanalien]

YANBU. We live in a farm cottage and I say good morning to the cows every day. I also bah at the sheep (and am now unable to eat lamb).

If I forget my DD (8) reminds me to speak to the cows!

[Wellthen]

Always do this, with pretty much any animal. Either excitedly say the name of the animal (the best time was: 'SHEEP... no, wait LLAMAS!' Yes, an actual field of llamas, dh and I were thrilled)

Or make the noise and usually both name and noise. The larger the animal the deeper you have to say it and its always said long with a stress on the vowel coooows, sheeeep, doooog etc

There's also a noise that goes with the way the animal is moving, like in a TV show when the music imitates movement.... but maybe that's just us.

[timelytess]

Where are you driving your cattle? Through farmland? Along country lanes? If there is no-one around, by all means moo, if that's what they're used to. Mine prefer Hup! and By!

Cats - miaow at them. I spoke to one this morning (I usually mew) and he was most surprised. I don't think he knew I could do that.

Dogs - growl, and bark. Unless they are big. So, small, yappy dogs, frighten the life out of them by barking fiercely.

[UntilTheCowsComeHome]

When I'm with DH, if we see an animal I point at it and say the type of animal. DH replies with the sound it makes.

This is the way it has always been.

We even do it when we're pissed off with each other.

[EmpressOfTheSevenOceans]

I just meowed at my cat & got a WTF look.

At a friend's house the other week, I was repeating the noises my cat makes when she's pissed off and her pair fled instantly. So I think I've got the swear words down, if nothing else.

[StubblyLegs]

Rugger I've just realised that I'm being played by them. They must have sensed I'd bought 10kg+ of pellets. How do you get yours to keep coming back then, without the promise of food?!

[eleventybillion]

I've found my people fellow nutters

I always say hello to the birds I meet, although oddly formal e.g. good morning Mr Blackbird. No idea why .

[justdontevenfuckingstart]

Moo cows! Our family have been mint saucers for 40 years. I say Punto Punto if I am behind another Punto.

[heavenlypink]

This is my belief .....

[iklboo]

I wave to horses, donkeys and and dogs looking through windows. Cars get 'the nod'.

[katemiddletonsnudeheels]

Are your children 18 and 20?

Have to confess to miaowing at my cat when he miaows at me, though!

[echt]

I'm using a film with students that has quite a lot of sheep in it at one point and we all join in the baa-ing. YANBU.

[RuggerHug]

Ah Stubbly we've run into a problem already. Yours have notions standards. Ours aren't fed by us, they just rock up for a chat. I feel yours have a 5* experience whereas here it is more of an EasyHotel type of accommodation. As you were

[BathshuaSpooner]

Yanbu. There is an ancient beautiful tree I see everyday on my way to work. I say Hello and Goodnight to my lovely tree every day as I go by. Times, I have driven by and forgotten to greet my tree, I can be heard shouting out the window " I'm Soooooorrryyyyyyy".

[CodyKing]

There were two cows in a field

The first cow said "Moooooo"


And the second cow said


"Ah I was going to say that!"
