Today, I was eating a hamburger on the street when a pigeon came down to take a bite. I ran and got 30 birds or so chasing me. My legs were burning, half of my burger was gone, and an entire office building was laughing at me. FML

Today, I was eating with a friend while walking on the sidewalk. A couple of pigeons were bothering us so I threw a fry onto the street. As a flock of pigeons were gathering around the fry, a truck drove by. Only four survived. FML

Today, I was walking through the park eating fries. There was an old woman feeding a few pigeons. They didn't seem too interested, so I threw some fries down as I walked by to try and help her out. About 2 minutes later, I heard screaming. A huge group of pigeons were attacking the old woman. FML

Today, I spent the only money I had left for lunch only to take two bites before a seagull snatched my burger from my hands. I had to shamefully start walking back to work with a pair of girls laughing at me and an empty stomach. FML

Today, I killed a pigeon. It choked to death on a piece of bread I threw its way. FML

Today, I went to the supermarket and picked up some groceries, along with what I thought was a bag of chips. I ripped it open in the car and realized it was a bag of birdseed. As I spat out the birdseed through the car's open window and tried to clean the mess, a pigeon flew into my car and attacked me. FML

Today, I was unbearably hungry, so I went to Wendy's, bought myself a Baconator and took it outside to eat on the patio. One bite in, I went back to grab a few napkins. Within seconds of my departure, a seagull snatched it up. FML

Today, I was at the park when I saw a homeless man. I gave him my sandwich, since he needed it more than me. Seconds later, he was attacked by a flock of birds. FML

Today, as I was walking home with dinner, a pigeon pooped on my leg like a dive bomb. My hands were full carrying the food, so I had to walk the rest of the way with a smear on my jeans that everyone knew what it was. FML

Today, while leaving McDonald's, I threw a fry out the window to a flock of seagulls. I watched in the rear-view mirror as it landed in the opposite lane and about 60 winged rats descended upon the street, causing a truck to veer off the road and crash. FML

Today, I watched a little girl laugh while giving bread to some pigeons at a bus stop. A bus then arrived. All the pigeons moved out of the away, except one. Its head got crushed by a wheel, and some blood splattered onto the little girl's shoes, who then screamed. With laughter. FML

The bird had already taken a bite of it and yet you still ran with it? Were you planning on eating it still? YDI if so...

Sad. Face :( Everyone else, remember: logic doesn't often come into play when the fight-or-flight response is active. It's either get out or say and punch ever pigeon in the face--there isn't a drop the burger option; OP probably didn't even think of that and really, were the pigeons attacking him for keeping the burger away from them or attacking the burger for being delicious? I'm gonna go with the former and assume that if he had dropped it, he still would have had at least a few birds attacking him for a while afterwards.

just because their legs were burning doesnt mean they're fat. i'm 5'3, 115 and when i run hard, my legs burn. it's being out of shape, not fat.

THAT, my friend, is a true FML. No shitty, "Oh, here's one tiny incident that put a dent in my day." Yours is a true, one event that just highlights and summarizes your ****** up life. FYL man, and thanks for making my day haha!

YDI for not dropping the hamburger once a pigeon touched it. o.O seriously, I'd consider it inedible if a pigeon so much as flapped its wings near my food.

Nope, in Alabama too. During a break at Mobile Mardi Gras (the only ORIGINAL one), I went to a peanut shop for some cashews. Damn pigeons tried to fly off with the ENTIRE BAG.

Nope, in Alabama too. During a break of parades at the Mobile Mardi Gras (the only ORIGINAL one), I went to get some honey-roasted cashews from this peanut shop. When I went to a park bench to enjoy my peanuts, the damned pigeons attempted to grab the bag and fly off with it. One nearly succeeded.
