Re: Vultures on my perch
I have uncontrollable rage when I see vans like that. I literally can't control my anger. I honk, make lewd gestures...sometimes even kick signs down.
I am otherwise totally laid back.

Re: Vultures on my perch
caddy/catty/kitty (whatever the term is) corner to our office and down the street. But we have a massive parking lot so they congregate there and then get out on the street that leads to our office and the clinic as well as the street to the clinic. There are protestors at least 50% of the time and that is fine. It's when they start displaying these disgusting images directly in my line of sight that I get bothered.
I've talked to them and asked to remove the images but to no avail.

Here's another pic from ground level. You can't see anything but I'm going to spoiler it anyway.
They block off part of the entrance for these people.

Re: Vultures on my perch
If I am reading this correctly, they are using a private office parking lot that does not include parking for the clinic. If this is true, why not have their vehicles towed?AWvsCBsteeeerike3 wrote:caddy/catty/kitty (whatever the term is) corner to our office and down the street.

Re: Vultures on my perch
I have no idea how they could police that. I know our office manager put in a call to the building manager, but it's a parking lot shared with two (2) four-story office buildings and one (1) two-to-three story office building. It would be impossible to determine who was legally parked and illegally parked unless you saw them unloading their signs and/or had their pictures displayed on their vehicle (eg, that van). Further complicating the matter is the state is doing massive amounts of highway improvements in the area and had to purchase some of the parking lot we use. So, it is completely possible the state purchased the parking lots and the land is now public right of way. On top of all that, these people obviously have money to make these signs and buy cars/vans/posters/etc. It is entirely possible they are clients of one of the companies (insurance company right across the way from us for example or the lawyer downstairs for another) in the complex.
To answer your question, I don't know. They are the ones that called the police, so I doubt they were trespassing.

Have you considered that they are simply awaiting instruction?

Start a dance party in your office or maybe make some Chris Duncan trophy humping gestures. Problem solved.heyzeus wrote:Our office is built on a green belt. There are ledges on every floor. Evidently this is the habitat for hundreds of vultures. During the winter, they fly back and forth between two buildings, from ledge to ledge; each time they land on the ledge above our floor, they rain down an unholy sheath of liquid vulture [expletive] all over our floor to ceiling windows. My office window looks like a Jackson Pollock painting now, and the window washers come out like twice a year.
The second part of the rant: Sometimes one or two (or three) of these nasty things will stand on my perch, staring at me. I'm sitting still for much of the day, so clearly they hope that I'm dead and would like to feast on my decaying flesh. The best is when they peck at the window with their beaks, and use them to pull out little bits of the sealant that holds the windows in place.
Nasty [expletive] animals. I'M NOT DEAD YET YOU [expletive] BOTTOM RUNG OF THE LIFE CYCLE
