What would you do if...

[medic159]

... you came out from the mall and found a flock of sea gulls pecking away at the top of your car? :shocked

 

[imported_Sullybob]

Feed them AlkiSeltzer? j/k.

Scare them away. I wonder why they would be attracted to the cleanest shinest car in the lot.

 

[RedondoV6]

I'd be asking myself what I did wrong yesterday! :lol

 

[saltydog]

yea, that is not a good sign what did you do wrong yesterday! :hide:

 

[Accumulator]

Wow, that's a *picture* I wonder if there was something about that car (the LSP perhaps) that made it especially attractive to them.



I've often wondered by Seagulls seem attracted to large parking lots. I'm sure they know the difference, but I can't help but wonder if the lots resemble bodies of water.

 

[Scottwax]

I'd look like this

running towards my car.

 

[imported_Sullybob]

Maybe thats it. The seagulls thought that the roof of your car was a pool of water?

 

[SK2003TypeS]

I also think they see it as water. I notice I get nats, spiders and other little guyz hanging around too after a fresh wash or detail.



To answer the question, personally I'd spread my arms, wave them up and down and run at the car while screaming GAWWW !!! GAWWW !!! GAWWW !!! It usually works. It'll also put your friends in to hysterics if done properly.

Heh heh heh.



Yeah, to (actually ) answer the question, I'd scare 'em off too, but I'd try to *not* freak them out any more than necessary, lest they "scramble" to take off and scratch the car up even more. And some gulls aren't too scared of people (watch those beaks ).

Scottwax's post was the funniest then I have seen in days. Thanks for making my day.

I would "run so far away...."



Ok... who's old enough to get the reference???

I'd run at the Byrds screaming Turn! Turn! Turn!

Pretty funny. I think appropriatly enough that that song was written by A Flock Of Seagulls. I could easily be wrong though.

Scottwax / Sullybob between the two of you you hav my GF holding her sides, best laugh we've had for a long time...

 

[imported_Sullybob]

Thanks TOGWT. I wasn't sure if any one would get the AlkiSeltzer reference.

I don't think it has anything to do with that, it has to do with the GARBAGE that accumulates (no offense) in parking lots and the dumpsters from the stores nearby.

 

[bigltc]

They're door ding guards!

Easily amused, eh?
