I know this title would clearly bring in smiles to people know me as I had to put few injections for dog bite even though it was just myself and doggie sir bumped into each other accidentally.
But of late in last few weeks, I am noticing that dogs kept chasing me on random timings on particular street. Be it around twilight time (say 5.30 to 6PM) or early mornings or late nights. This does not happen on daily basis as I rush thru that street to catch the bus in early mornings and return home in in evenings.
The set of dogs were regular ones in the street and they would give me a stare glance or sometimes just ignore. Sometimes they bark at someone wearing fancy dresses but when I pass by they wouldn't mind me at all.
This baffled me for few days and then I found a company thru a regular jogger for years. I seen him jogging around our area daily in mornings on daily basis but suddenly for last few weeks I saw him just doing his brisk walking. He normally engages me with some small talks if he notices I am not rushing towards the main road.
On one encounter last week, I asked him why he stopped jogging and walking, he said that he is also being chased by the dogs in that particular street. I happily announced that I was also being the target and he seems to be on the same mood that he got a company in distress.
Yesterday, he met me and then said he will accompany me upto bus stop which I gladly obliged, then he revealed most strange thing. It seems one weird crazy two legged one is playing with some gizmo to chase off the dogs. The gizmo works like this, it makes a buzzing sound to irritate the four-legged ones so that they move away from the location. But in reality, dogs gets irritated and on process of identifying the source of buzzing sound, they mistake the passersby in the street and start barking or chasing them off.
My companion chanced upon this weird stuff when he started observing the nearby houses whenever the dogs acted strangely. Suddenly he saw some 40+ plus guy holding that gizmo. He had noticed few times on different days / timings, then decided to barge into that house and asked that guy to explain what he was doing with that gizmo or should I call it as dumb invention.
Then he got the above explanation. He had given stern warning to that guy not to use unless dogs are creating nuisance in late nights disturbing sleep.
The other trend he explained is about speeding two wheelers guys intentionally drive near sleeping ones and rev up accelerator and whiz off, but the sufferers going to be pedestrains.
Weird People, Weird Inventions seems like one doesn't need to worry about lack of entertainment options but they should understand entertainment shouldn't affect others.
Phew.. I could write such big blog for such weird stuff which should have been put in 140 limit of microblogging :)
