Got chased by a goose while running a line to a backyard shed

I was in a quiet neighborhood in Springfield, trying to fish cable through a tiny gap in a fence. This goose came out of nowhere, flapping and hissing, and I had to drop my fish tape and run. Anyone else have a crazy animal story from a job?

A goose in Springfield... that's a new one. They're usually so chill in parks.

Usually so chill" is the part that gets me. They're only chill until you accidentally get between them and a gosling, then you learn real quick why the French used them as guard animals.

Ever think geese were just big ducks? I had to run from one at a park install last year, and now I treat them like feathered security guards. That hiss is no joke, way scarier than any dog bark I've heard.
