Title: Angry goose
Post by: Mulberry1990 on March 08, 2011, 14:48

Soooo thought i'd share my traumatic morning with you all.. I was casually walking along to the bus stop today, on my way to an interview with my university, past the little river near by with my friend, when I look up and see a goose running towards us hissing (do geese hiss? well what ever noise it was making it was loud!)
So I inform my friend that the goose is coming at us, she looks up panics and starts screaming and running for her life, at which point the goose speeds up and heads for me, so I run too. We both finally reach safety and my friend informs me that she lost her shoe wayyyyy back down the road and had just left it and carried on running.
So lucky me, I get to go face the angry goose for a second time! I edge back down the road trying to not let the goose notice me, sneak up to the shoe grab it and run for my life!
All in front of 20 people waiting for the bus and laughing manically, wasn't the best start to my day!!

Some geese are downright nasty!

Great comedy value if you are not the one getting the agro. :D :D :D

This is why geese make great guard-animals!  You'd have to be a pretty determined burglar to face up to one of those at full force.  :D

These days someone at the bus stop probably recorded the event on their phone.  We will be looking out for it on YouTube.   :tongue2:

Never run or turn your back on an agressive goose! Run towards them staring at them-they will run off. Its all bravado.

You most probably made 20 people's day and will be centre of conversation all day.
It maybe Bravado, but I think I would still run!
Thank you for sharing this and making me smile.   :tongue2:
