Posted | Contributed by Jeff

A woman from Celebration was attacked by a bird and suffered severe brain injuries as she walked on a dock at Walt Disney World Resort, according to a lawsuit that claims Disney knew seasonal nesting birds are a threat to guests.

You would think with that dome that covers all of WDW they would be able to keep angry birds out.


Life is an amusment park -and I can't get off of the damn spinning teacups!

I think Angry Birds is a Columbia Pictures IP. WDWCo doesn't have any control. ;-)

I read "Under The Dome" by Stephen King. Spoiler alert, it did not end well. For those living under the dome, or for me, the reader. It wasn't a good book.

Edit: Yeah, I'm derailing the thread, but it looked pretty much DOA to begin with. Which is too bad, because it has everything needed to be hilarious.

I work in downtown Cleveland in the Flats. A few years back one of our customers, an older lady, forgot her wallet in her car, and went out to her car to get it to pay her check. She was really nice when she went out. She came back in fuming mad. Apparently the seagulls had used her car as target practice. She made me come out and look at it, and yeah, this thing was pasted pretty bad.

She was SCREAMING at me. It's a new car, she just got it, on and on. She demanded we pay to have it detailed. I politely explained to her that we don't own the birds, and what they do we have no control over. She called the next day to complain... about ME. Because I was mean and wouldn't have her car detailed.

In short, yes, people do expect a company to be in control of all of nature. It's hilarious.

That would be about the time I would go out and directly sh*t on her car myself.

Should’ve told her you would have a talk with the gulls not to do it again. 😝

I occasionally perform in plays for a local professional theatre company that’s been entertaining Columbus audiences for 30+ years. The shows are free, and we pass the hat for donations. The setting is outdoors in a beautiful park but, as you might imagine, along with that come the usual challenges. Weather, heat, etc. People show up early and claim their spots on the lawn armed with their picnics, beverages, and bug spray. It’s a nice evening of theatre.

One particularly warm, bright day I was out on the lawn talking to the director before the show. And here she comes, with the “I need to speak to the manager” look on her face. She looked straight at this guy and said “Excuse me, but are you going to do anything about the sun?” We both assumed she was just joking and this usually jovial fellow chuckled and brushed it off. She came back with an unprintable reply. He said to her “Ma’am, I have a lot of powers here, but that ain’t one of em!” I said “You could wait and come back for act 2- it’s usually dark by then.” She stormed off in a huff. And probably kept her crappy dollar in her purse.

Some people....
