Hey, I might smell like pot but at least I don't chuck dead pigeons at people! That role is reserved for crack heads.

And I thought it was weird that some people I didn't even know randomly threw a water balloon out of a car at me once, years and years ago (hurt like hell because they were traveling pretty fast). That made me pissed but this sounds weird and not even funny weird, can't think of a bright side to dead pigeon chucking.

Seriously we should trade weird stories some time. That would be epic because if this is one of them I have a feeling you've got some pretty good ones. Here's one to tickle your fancy: Back when I was in my early twenties I worked at a truck stop doing maintenance. When I went into the bathroom to start cleaning it I passed a guy who had just come out. He couldn't stop this deep belly laughing of his and I asked him what was up. Then he said "you've got to see this" and showed me what was in the bathroom. On the floor I found a big plastic bag with a bra, two balloons, a wig, and fake eyelashes. Apparently the last customer in there came in a "woman" and came out a man. The best part was I had a good idea of which "Lot Lizard" this was, so I busted up laughing and showed the plastic bag to everyone there like it was a piece of pure joy. I would say "look what I found" and everyone would be in stitches.

That's awful...so sorry someone did that to you. People are just weird. I'd also be worried about the bird having some disease...if you start to feel strange at any point, it might be a good idea to see a doctor.

Thanks everyone. I haven't gotten sick and it has been several days. I think it was just a one-time occurrence.

I've seen that same person lurking around for a few months now. That was the only time he has done anything to me.

Even though a dead pigeon is bad it's better than a brick!

Hmmm... I might have 1) caught said bird, 2) thanked pitcher of dead bird, 3) taken it home to put in the freezer, 4) stuffed it.

But then, I manage a natural history collection.

I guess it goes to show, there are many different ways to react in any given situation...

I also love the look on peoples' faces when I pull out my nitrile gloves, pick up a bird, and stuff it in a Ziploc bag.

And in case you are wondering, I am generally more concerned about diseases I could pick up from regular exposure to other humans, than occasional exposure to a dead bird... :wink:
