ducks

This Redditor, ColonelDredd, rescued a baby duckling from the icy grip of certain death this summer when he found it all alone.

If this were a Disney movie we'd expect the two of them to be bonded for life in an eternal love affair. They'd have a misunderstanding and part ways. But then in the third act the duckling would come and save ColonelDredd's family from a mustache-twirling villain.

Alas, that's not how life goes. Instead, as you can see, ColonelDredd was brutally attacked by this ungrateful little a**hole upon their reunion. 

Hey, still a better love story than Twilight.


The resulting thread lead to some extremely absurd stories about people's own experience with water fowl.  

In fact, one might be sitting near you on your next flight! fingers crossed
