Just got Sh** upon by a seagull before I put the roof up!

All over my jeans!

Looks as if I've had a bit of an accident with Pam and her five sisters!

Had to tell someone as I think it's actually quite funny.

Had just parked the car and was about to put the roof up and splat!

Surely this has happened to others? Come on own up!!!

Feel for ya man, I live by the coast and so been lucky only had the car **** in by a seagull while it was parked outside my house with the top down, but man what a mess :x

But I have been **** on by a pigeon :!: I was going under some tree's and I felt and heard this splat, I looked across at my wife and she just burst out laughing as I had been hit right in the middle of my forehead, nice.

I got my car crapped in just before the start of Highlander II. Still, the police didn't come looking for me at the hotel, so I guess I was lucky. :twisted:

Arght not you too!!!
Driving in Glasgow yesterday evening, I thought I saw something drop from the sky in front of me, braked instinctively and a load of droppings splattered my bonnet and windscreen... YUCK!!!!!!! They were HUGE!!!! Got a very tiny bit in the cabin on the subwoofer grille which cleaned right off but I had to go straight to the jetwash before it dried out...

I'm sure these bastards really aim for it when they do it, had I not braked it would have been all over the cabin (and myself). "Good luck" is something the RSPCA invented so we would be less inclined to use shotguns on these critters.
wwwwOOOff!!!

Luckily I have not yet had a seagull crap on me yet but I was driving home the other evening and a seagull hit the windscreen whilst diving for some food in the road. Now I don't know about the seagull but I nearly crapped myself.

Luckily for the seagull it did fly off so hopefully not too badly injured.

Well it happened again.

This time I was lucky enough to get crapped upon from a great height by another seagull while driving.

This afternoon in Greenock at the traffic lights across from the police station. Just pulling away and SPLAT!

Bonnet jeust at the wiper blade, onto the windscreen and then all over the passenger seat.

I swear if anyone had been in the car then they would have had it all over their face. Totally dead square on the headrest.

Now all cleaned off.

Twice in a week though that's got to be some sort of record!

Left my car under a tree the other day with the hood down.
Then returned to my car & drove home. Went indoors & then back to my car intending to return to work. By some act of good fortune I just happened to check my seat & noticed that what must have been something the size of an albatros had dumped on the back of it. So I go indoors to check my shirt & sure enough it was all over the back from my having sat in the seat 1st time round without checking it.
Just as well I checked & changed my shirt, cos I know the guys at work wouldn't have told me. They'd have had a laugh watching me walk round with that lot on my back. Not something I'd dream of doing if the same thing happened to one of them though of course :lol:

One of the funniest things I saw was a car coming the other way with a dead pidgeon wedged in the radiator grill. It's bad enough walloping a bit of innocent wildlife, but driving down the road oblivious to the fact that EVERYONE else also knows! And can you imagine getting out of the car to find out just why people were staring at you... :roflmao:

My mates a fisherman, one sh** in his open mouth once, he's been talking sh*** ever since.

I live in Jersey so seagulls everywhere, the thing is what do they eat?
When they dump on the car there's loads of it and even if washed immediately it's a sod to shift.

Can't tell you how many times I've had burgers taken from the barbecue by seagulls, lots of holiday makers eating fish & chips have had food taken from their hands.

One bloke living near the police station had enough of them and took a shotgun to them, never was caught.

Birds have to aim for nice cars!

They must purposely s**te on our cars, cos think about it, what are the chances of them hitting us by accedent!

I parked under a tree at me mates house once and found 3 or 4 Bird turds on the bonnit of my car!

Grrrr, not good on a black car!
