This actually happens at my work, the whole building is aware, someone (with too much time on their hands) even created a Twitter account for him. We've been reminded not to feed him (as if). Here's an actual photo of our work coyote:
photo cred: 3CP Coyote twitter account
Let me preface this story by saying that I am TIRED. My brain is slightly mushy lately and I'm not certain that I have been consistently speaking in complete, coherent sentences. Working too much this month? Yep, I definitely have. Anyway...
So as I was leaving work today, I was thinking, what would I do if the vicious 3CP (our building name) coyote came out and snarled at me. And I very smartly thought-I would swing my laptop bag around and bop him on the nose, of course. And then I was thinking, but that might make him mad and he might really attack me. So what I needed to do is swing the bag...and KEEP swinging. And then I was thinking about what would I do if I didn't have my laptop bag? I would use my foot, right? And just give him a swift bop on the nose. But then there's that "KEEP swinging" factor.
And then it hit me....
If you're attacked by a wild animal.....strike this pose:
And then TWIRL. Twirl like your life depends on it. It just might...Why do you never hear of this on the news??? Why don't self defense classes teach this?? Did I really just discover the secret to good self-defense???
You heard it hear first folks.






5 people have something wonderful to share:
being married to a ballerina...they got a pretty decent kick...smiles.
The paver may say "no parking", but he is CLEARLY loitering.
I had a coyote right in my driveway one morning. I yelled at it, clapped my hands, went towards it, etc. It eventually kind of just walked off. I was definitely more afraid of it than it was of me!
My son refuses to go outside when it's dark. He's too afraid a coyote is going to get him!
you are genius even when tired.
They are probably more scared of you. I would love to see one close up (as long as he didn't attack of course)
