Seen wonderful karma at work today

[Redgreenfroggy]

In London at the moment. Went to the Tower of London today, sat outside and as usual loads of pigeons.

2 lots of parents sat there laughing and filming their little darlings chase and kick out at the pigeons. One of the boys made contact with one. Just as I was about to open my month to have a go at the parents another pigeon flew over the dad’s head and did the most perfectly aimed shit that landed right on his bald head.

dad then stands up shouting dirty bastards and then realised quite a few people were laughing including myself and my lot. I was creased up. He and his family very quickly leave. The most funny thing was it was down to his own that the pigeons were flying all over in panic

Beautful Karma. Can anyone beat this with their own experience of Karma at work

On holiday last year and a couple of kids in the outdoor play area were trying to scare a small group of seagulls. One seagull took exception at this and chased one of the kids in return. Said kid ran right out of the play area screaming his head off while the bird flapped and ran after him. He'll probably now have a life long phobia of birds but served him right tbh

I didn't I was peeing pants laughing at him.trying to manoeuvre out of yellow box..😆

I suspect it is more that people equate "I don't take my children out because I can't cope with other people criticising them" with "other people feel they have to criticise my children's behaviour, which they would not do unless the children were poorly behaved", and in a thread about children kicking pigeons, that is the poor behaviour it is assumed you were talking about.

You really need to develop some self awareness as your responses are the bizarre ones

Or …….. my comments seem bizarre as they are the antithesis to the absolute nonsense spouted on here. Strangers congratulating each other for shouting at other peoples children should never be the norm.

😆 so it's ok for kids to hurt/try to hurt creatures but nobody should ever, ever say anything as it's not their kids. Okkkkkaaaaaayyyyyy.
I'll stick to my first response bizarre

Ha ha! Hopefully he and his buddies will think twice next time.

No.
Ewock had it right the first time.

This is why I’m conflicted about our local NYE fireworks. Scares the shit out of all the wildlife. I still hear the birds screeching in my nightmares 🥴

Oh, give over, do.

In the OP, the only person mentioned as shouting is the father of the children who had been kicking the pigeons, shouting at the pigeons because one shat on his head.

The idea of people shouting at children was introduced by you on the second page.

In the rest of the thread, we have people in a car shouting at the writer of the post, two boys shouting at ducks, a man in a Mercedes shouting abuse at a woman with a pram, a neighbour shouting because she was not given half the price of repairing a fence she had insisted previously was entirely hers, shouty children chasing pigeons, parents shouting because two people laughed when geese attacked their children back after being hit at with sticks, two boys of ten shouting and screaming at a group of geese, and a man shouting obscenities at another driver in front of police drivers he hadn't noticed.

A couple of pages after you started to accuse other people on the thread of shouting at your children, and of shouting at random strangers in the street, one person wrote "I have never understood why people allow their children to torment/abuse pigeons. It makes me so angry and I have shouted at many who do it." A couple of pages further on, one person wrote "I’d be first to shout if kids are behaving poorly towards animals but I know I wouldn’t be on my own in that." On page 8 one person wrote that she had shouted "leave that goose alone" at a child whose mother was filming her trying to hurt a goose. That is three people in ten pages who have said they would shout, or have shouted, at children not their own. Nobody seems to have congratulated them for it as far as I can see.

Apart from these three examples, the person using the word shouting (or shouts) in relation to doing it at children is you. Repeatedly.

proper laughed at loud at this; I bet it was a comedy gold sketch. If only you had CCTV to record it! 😂

Glad to see that your inability to leave the house with your 'poorly behaved children hasn't impacted your willingness to hand out parenting advice on other posts.

You can tell nothing at six. My eldest was behind until I got involved in year 3 (Covid times) and now three years in he is in the top tier of his year group. My advice is get involved by prioritising education at home. Spend lots of time with your child and encourage a curious mind to the world. Don’t leave it up to the school.

Maybe if those parents actually did more parenting then strangers wouldn't need to shout at their children....just a thought.

A nice example of karma in action - two friends went to Whitby on their motorbikes and were queueing for fish and chips near the harbour. A man behind them in the queue was muttering loudly about how he hated motorbikes and people who rode them, and they were trying to ignore him. They were served and left the shop with their food and sat down to eat it on a wall opposite. Out of the doorway came the muttering man with his fish and chips on a tray . As he scowled across at them, a seagull came down and grabbed his fish.

Oh dear... 🤦‍♀️

That was karma at its best, love it

😂

DH and I were walking in Richmond Park once, when we saw a tourist feeding Red Bull to a stag deer. Several people were trying to stop him and he was just laughing. Someone removed the can from him in the end.

But I also once saw a pelican size up a baby in St James's Park then open wide and put its beak right around the baby's head. The mother was in hysterics (understandably) and the baby wasn't too happy either. Took a bit of shooing to scare it off. Those St James's pelicans are fearless.

It proved nothing of the sort. Seriously, when you're in a hole, stop digging.

@EvangelicalAboutButteredToast you’re a pain in the tits even when you’ve stayed at home 😂

This thread is therapeutic! Oh dear, the story about Bertie the Shitland! This, and seagull lifting the fish from the motorcycle-hating curmudgeon has brought laughter to a trying day with an unwell ten-year old. Thanks, lovely Mumsnetters 🤣

I guarantee that God is not on the side of a convicted felon and rapist and .
Biden played a blinder by not announcing he was stepping down until after Trumps rallies had finished. All the rhetoric and ranting was targeted at him.
Then the Democrats neatly slid Harris into position. Genius!
For the sake of the world I hope that Kamala Harris triumphs.

What planet are you on? If your kids (or anyone's kids) are tormenting animals then they are fair game for being shouted at.

How about you discipline your kids rather than bleating that you can't control them? Discipline starts from when they are small. Stop making excuses and posting antagonistic shit on social media. You are in the wrong and everyone else can see it aside from you. Your poor kids. They don't stand a chance with you at the helm
