Goose attack


I just saw someone get attacked by a goose!
Here's what happened. I drove into my work parking lot and the goose flew down from the second story of the parking garage. I had to slam on my breaks because I thought I was going to hit it. Then I was walking in, and carefully scooted by the crazy bird because I could tell it was on edge. All the sudden I hear a lady screaming, I turn around and it's on her head, flapping its wings and going at her. It scared the crap out of me, so I started running toward her yelling and flapping my arms (I probably frightened the lady more then the bird did) not really sure what I was going to do when I got there. Luckily it stopped by the time I arrived because I had no plan to stop the bird if it continued. She was fine, and no harm done except for her pride. I wish I had been quick thinking and grabbed my phone out to take a picture while I was running to help, next time I'll be prepared. Unfortunately when I see her from now on, I know it's going to be hard for me to keep a straight face, because if you think about it it's kind of funny. I'm sure there were people ducking (no pun intended) behing cars watching the whole ordeal, and it probably made there day. Moral of the story: if you spot a goose, in your parking lot, where you would normally park....park somewhere else. Those things will kill you.
