Faux Pas No. 71

I'm one of those people who enjoys scaring pigeons.

If there's one trotting around the ground nearby, I like to stomp my foot or yell, causing it to clumsily fly away.

Best not to do this on a crowded sidewalk, as I learned today when I used the 'stomp/scare' technique and our icky little grey friend panicked and flew directly into a woman's' face, causing her to scream hysterically.

Which in turn caused everyone within earshot to gawk and stare at this frantic, pigeon-faced woman.

Which caused me to laugh and spill my large organically grown fair trade dark roast coffee, and that shit's expensive.
