    I spent several years working as security at a large warehouse building that had a retention pond just past the parking lot. Every year like clockwork they’d show up in early spring and nest right up against the building at the emergency exits. -It was our job to check these emergency exits at least twice per shift. Once it got late enough into the spring the facilities manager would register with the state and remove the eggs, but each year they’d come back, and we would have to wait over a month before the eggs could be removed and they’d stop attacking us. I hate these birds.

    I will note, as stupid as people are saying these birds are I do recall at least one of them remembering me and/or my uniform to selectively charge at me in the parking lot as i was going to my car. The one I’m thinking of waddled right past multiple people that were closer just to come at me.





  • The “infidelities are always there” part sounds like a cope. I’m not a great authority on relationships or marriage as I’ve mostly opted for single life but I have spent a lot of time around the various aspects of substance abuse and the way you describe this discussion sounds eerily similar to people with substance-use issues saying “everybody drinks” or “everybody uses drug x.” It might be true of the people they surround themselves with but it’s not representative of the broader population as a whole…

    -On a seperate note you’re really making me want to attend my 20th reunion next year. /s

    -Lastly I just want to clarify that i’m interpreting the term “cheating” to being different than a poly/open-relationship. As I understand there’s an element of deception or lack of communication when it comes to “cheating.”
