I watched a short documentary on this quite a while ago. Apparently this is a thing and people get 'marked' by seagulls for life. The people in the doc were talking about how it had affected their lives and especially ruined their social lives. Sorry OP

will try and find a link

There's been a lot of 'joke' threads on GAF recently so I want to make it clear that this is very much serious.

On Friday, when I was walking to the library, there was a seagull, with a distinctive red spot on the upper left eye, perched on the black hand railing outside the Law School. I remember thinking it looked a bit bizarre perched there. When I walked past it, it seemed to look at me and I could sense an intelligence behind those eyes. It followed me as I went past. Exactly 10 seconds later, I heard a flutter of wings and a dollop of whitish poo hit my Ralph Lauren coat. After swearing a lot, I made it to the library and gents toliets to clean up the mess.

Then on Saturday, I spotted a seagull hanging around outside the library. It was attacking a paper bag quite viciously and occasionally stopping to look around as if to non-verbally challenge the people going past. It looked a bit like a drunk cunt tbh. However, as I went past, it sort of just completely stopped to stare at me. It just sort of stood upright and cocked its head towards me. I got a good look at it and recognised the red spot on the upper left eye. In my head I pictured myself walking up to it and smashing its little face in but in the end, I gave it a knowing nod, you know, to form a non-verbal understanding like I've got your number bro and turned back to go home. Exactly 1 mile later, as I was approaching a busy crossing, I felt a splat near me. A flutter wings brushed overheard and I caught a glimpse of the seagull with the red spot land a few feet ahead of me.

On Sunday, I started having weird dreams and being woken up at 6am from knocking/pecking sounds at my window. But when I woke up, there was nothing there. I told my friends and family but they just laughed and looked at me like I was a nutter.

Monday (today): The seagull with the red spot on the upper left eye pictured below. Waiting for me near the bus stop which is nowhere near our last 2 encounters. ITS THE SAME FUCKER.

But that's a black backed Gull, they have always eaten things like that, they even eat small rabbits. It's all scaremongering, to sell shit newspapers. A few years ago it was foxes, now gulls.

I live near St Ives where they regularly attack stupid tourists that insist on feeding them, despite the hundreds of signs telling people not to.
 
Lots of people have a hard time making new friends. I'm confused as to why you're being so resistant.

I'll have you know my quote unquote joke thread was in fact super serious.
 
A seagull stole my mate's sandwich from his hands once. Their menace must be stopped.
THEY ARE BECOMING BOLDER.
 
OP just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about parody thread culture (I'm a troll), but originality and subtlety are huge parts of it. It's not like it is on 4chan where you can become successful by reposting the same shitty meme every day. If you screw up a parody thread on GAF, you bring the banhammer on yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the people of GAF, after going full DetectiveGAF on this, are not going to be entertained by this thread, nor will they make cray photoshops and gifs for it. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but this OP has alienated the entire OT side with this move.

OP, publicly apologize (green waves mean cries of apology) or you can kiss your member status goodbye.
 
Well, this thread took a pathetic turn.

This is the first time in ages that I found one of these posts funny.

Then this ivory bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it boasts,
“Though thy crest be shorn and regal, this
Library's strictly legal,
Ghastly grim and ancient Seagull wandering from the Nightly coast—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian coast!”
Quoth the Seagull “IT'S A REPOST.”

Not enough love for this. Reminds me of the Tuskan Milk Poe parody.

I feel like every time he posts in another thread and avoids this one someone should reply to whatever he says with a picture of the seagull.
