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

here it is.

Really interesting thread.

When a man marries mistress it just creates a vacancy.

I don't think that's entirely fair: the kids themselves may not be actually disgusting, it's the behaviour that is disgusting. I know it's a quibble, but it seems to me important: when telling off my own children I tried to be careful to make it plain that it was not them I was angry with or disliked, it was how they had behaved. A bit like the woman who said to a daughter that she loved her, she just didn't like her very much at the moment. (I forget what the daughter had done: something nasty, like for instance trying to kick a pigeon.)

My worry is that I don't know whether for example Robert Thompson and Jon Venables started out tormenting birds unchecked, went on to tying tin cans to the tails of cats and never being told off for it, and ended up ... well, we know what they did before they were stopped.

Diddums, poor parents, let's have a whip round for them!

Maybe if they had made a better job when their sprogs were small they wouldn't now have parents who are 'ground down by their own children's poor behaviour'. If they are glad to sit back and let their sprogs misbehave then perhaps it needs random strangers to do their job for them though I would guarantee that they, the parents, wouldn't be happy.

"My little Maudie wouldn't do that!"

"Madam, I have the video."

My heart bleeds...

@PepsiAddiction Very funny post! Read it twice before I "got" "shitland".

@EvangelicalAboutButteredToast
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.

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 👌

😁

Love this. The crow whisperer!

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.

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.

So do we 🤷🏼‍♀️

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

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.

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

😃

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

lol 🤣

Wtf is wrong with people?!

Doesn't mean you can abuse them.

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.

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.

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.
