I hit a goose and now my neighborhood is at war

You can ask Jeff in Website Feedback to check whether this is a serial troller. Just provide links to the threads you suspect.

Someone already did and he confirmed there is no proof OP is a troll.

I get very tired of the constant troll criers. Seriously, if you have no interest in the goose outcome then don't read. If you live in such a state of paranoia that you think the OP must be a troll then just avoid the thread.

Hitting a goose seems very likely based on how often it seems to happen in many different places. I had no idea geese that are such jerks. A Ladies Christmas Ornament Exchange apparently is a thing too. I assumed it would be southern but if you google there is a HOA development in Pleasnaton CA that has one. They are all over Pinterest so it happens elsewhere.

And yet OP seems like a troll and may be one. So what if Jeff can’t confirm it, that’s not proof she’s real.

How many times have you accused the OP of being a troll on this thread? 8? 10?

Doesn't this make you the troll?

Its annoying enough for you to swoop down and cry troll whenever you want but then to keep repeating yourself after every post is obsessive. Please stop.

I live in the Raleigh Durham Chapel Hill area, and one look at the Raleigh Junior League page here and the fact that debutantes and cotillions are still a thing should convince the naysayers that such a thing does exist and yes, it is indeed called The Ladies Neighborhood Ornament Exchange.

Whaaaat? What do debutantes and cotillions have to do with any of this? Were you drunk when you were driving OP? Are you drunk now?

If you don't want to join the Junior League then don't. It is practically guaranteed that they don't want you either. Although if any of this story is true you should recognize that probably no one wants you now.

Hmm, a fake thread about a fake OP hitting a fake goose with some fake animal suffering thrown in for kicks. It doesn’t take much for you, does it?

nope, and clearly it doesn't take much for you either, since we're 17 pages in and you're still commenting.

It’s like watching a train wreck, we can’t stay away. What’s your excuse?

Omg. OP, if she’s for real, doesn’t need you to defend her against trolling. She does have an issue with animal cruelty, though, so maybe you could help her with that.

Also: There are multiple people here calling OP a troll. It looks like I’m one of the more restrained ones. But no, I don’t believe her.

OP, you missed an opportunity for dinner. If you call the right people, you can definitely keep and eat a protected animal you hit with your car.

Ha! We had duck for dinner last night. I told my husband about this thread and he said we could have saved $50 and gone to get OP's goose.

Are you from a third word country?

So, typically, it's not ok to "hit and run" a child or a dog. Not sure if you are very dumb, or just being obtuse (neither is a good look, btw).

OP, just throw yourself on everyone’s mercy and tell them you were too drunk to see the goose and be done with it.

I'm so glad I killed that god damn fowl
The list serv's mad, they're telling all the town
That goose was in my way, you know
He really had it coming, you know
I said so
They're all mad at me and I feel fine

LOL! I believe you, OP. Shit is crazy.

DP. It’s also not OK to hit and run a protected species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Or, morally, to hit and leave any animal in agony by the side of the road. Not sure how you missed the obvious analogy.

I drove to Montgomery Village in MoCo today; there were geese feeding right by the 4 lane road, in the median strip. Two were by the road, another 20 or so were milling around the median (which is fairly large.)

There are all over MoCo near any water feature, poop everywhere, and never migrate back to the great white north.

At what point in life does the Migratory Bird Treaty Act become common knowledge? I'm 45 and it hasn't happened yet. Nobody, literally nobody, expects the typical suburbanite to know this law.

Moreover, I would never get out of my car and physically handle wild animal roadkill unlessit was a cat or dog. I'm not educated on how to do that. Pp, rather than leave the goose in agony, would YOU get out of your car and put it out of its misery yourself? Haha. I doubt it.

Actually I would get out. If for no other reason than to see if, when I called animal control, to tell them to come for rehab stat or disposal when they’re available. Who said to put it out of its misery? Not me, because without xrays you don’t know what the rehabbers can do or not do. That’s the whole idea—there are groups that can help the goose, for free. You just need to take 2 mins to call them.
