Where you abruptly snap your
head around and irritably bellow, “WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!” up into the trees whenever a bushy-tailed nut-gatherer makes a chattering scolding ruckus when you are merely minding your own business and working quietly in your
yard. Sometimes this stress-relieving action
may actually be performed mostly for the entertainment of others in your vicinity, particularly easily-amused giggly children --- you
may indeed be highly irritated by the squirrel's inexplicable/unwarranted noisy tirade, but everyone knows that your own crimson-
faced outburst really isn't gonna do much good overall, since squirrels obviously ain't gonna keep quiet just '
cuz you want them to.
Sometimes doing a squirrel shout-out is
indeed effective in shutting up dat noisy fur-varmint, at least for a few minutes… guess he’s so non-plussed at my sudden bellowing outburst that he doesn’t know quite what to make of it all. But in any case, I still
fail to see what he’s getting so pissed off about in da first place --- I’m not bothering him or even paying him any mind, and I sure as shootin’ ain’t after his
precious acorns, so what’s his beef with me, anyhoot???
