Geese cause a minor traffic jam
Michael Bolden/Post
I was waiting to turn on to Route 50 in Prince George's County this week, when this minor traffic jam on route 704 caught my eye. The geese weren't in a hurry and drivers were becoming a bit frustrated as the birds ambled back and forth across the lanes.

Geese have picked up on DC-area laziness and no longer fly.

Hey, the geese live here, too. Give them a break.

I'd rather the geese crap on the pavement than on my car, my lawn, or the golf course.
I wonder how much damage a goose would do to your car if you just downshifted and floored it instead of stopping for them.

I was commuting on my bicycle on Eisenhower Ave. in Alexandria one afternoon recently when a family of geese blocked the road about half a block from where I wanted to cross. I don't know how the drivers felt about it, but it bought me time to get across. After crossing, as I continued on my way, the geese blocked my way on the bike trail. I was happy to wait for them - tit for tat.
