You stopped for geese

These things would never get anywhere near you in the bush. Because they know better, the only reason they parade across the street is because you submit to them.
Funny though, you would never give another human being (in the dtes for an example) the same amount of dignity.
And if that person is a cyclist. All bets are off, it’s like they’re not human.
But geese. Everyone stops for the geese. What the f.

They're called cobra chickens for a reason, they're scary.

... a cyclist, and I never had that many problems, and, when I did, I would shout at the driver and 9/10 times they would apologize. I've heard from female friends who cycle, who are much smaller than me, tho, that some drivers can be aggressive.
As for the DTES, if you are going to get so high you have to lay down, its common courtesy to do this somewhere other than the middle of the sidewalk.
As for Geese, geese are cute, and if you hit one it would make ppl sad. Just yesterday there were some geese + goslings (baby geese?) in Stanley Park by Lost Lagoon. Too cute.
In the end, as a well-placed Freemason told me, "it isn't supposed to make sense."

Agreed. I was attacked by one at the park once. It was being aggressive with anyone walking on the path for some reason.
What's your suggestion?

Just run over the geese? I would no more run over them than I would a human. All living things on the road should get the brakes as needed.
As for cyclists (and I'm one), maybe if we all stopped at stop signs and could actually "submit" to traffic law and geese and people, we'd all be safer and get less angst from others using the roads.

Another confessional thought of resentment and jealousy that someone (foreigners) or animals (geese) get preferential treatment. Post-pandemic, it seems people really feel owed something and not getting it.

Hey Idiots if anything gets in your way while biking or driving you stop !!
Unless you get off on murdering something.
It's quite simple.
Some people are so damn obtuse.
So What!

Let's all run down wildlife whenever the opportunity presents itself. What a wonderful world that would be. I like the geese. They're smart and work together to thrive. They would never think that one of the humans would cripple them just for the fun of the moment.
