Seen wonderful karma at work today

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

I think you can report it to Mumsnet using the ! in a circle immediately underneath it, explaining why, and they will take it down for you.

I have a family of crows that I've befriended in work. Every lunch time they get one of my crisps (Not each, they get one between them and Boss Crow decides who owns it).

I've been wondering just how much they recognise me, or whether they're this friendly with everyone who sits near them with food.

Anyway, two days ago I'm sat on my usual bench eating my lunch. They've already had their daily crisp so they've dispersed a bit, when a family with a small child comes near, and the kid starts running towards the crows, roaring.

Next thing I know I've got 5 crows all huddled around my feet and under my bench. I was well chuffed to realise that they see me as one of their own.

I’m well jealous
I want my own gang of corvids

Isn't it officially a murder of crows?

Yes, three or more crows are called a "murder" of crows. One or two is just "attempted murder".

Mind you, if it's a heck of a lot of crows then it's probably a rookery.Grin

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 29/07/2024 14:39

I used to be told that if I saw one rook, it was probably a crow.

If my kids were doing something they shouldn't then I wouldn't have an issue with someone else telling them off for it.

Are you always planning on being with your children? If you are then someone else won't need to tell them off anyway!

Unless you're one of those parents that think 'my child would never' in which case, if another adult approached you about their behaviour you'd say it wasn't possible anyway! Win win for unruly children.

No that’s not what I mean at all. My child is quite challenging but I do my best to improve her behaviour and certainly I’m not one of those “my child can do no wrong” parents. When she’s in school or in childcare of course whoever is looking after her can discipline her, but I just don’t tolerate strangers coming up to my child and thinking they have the right to tell her off however they see fit if for any reasons I’ve taken my eye off the ball.
