Puking Pelicans Force Zoology Student to Quit Volunteer Work

Ever had one of those days where you’re excited to try something new, only to end up covered in vomit? Our zoology student protagonist thought they’d landed the perfect volunteer opportunity with pelicans, but things took a turn for the worse when they found themselves on the receiving end of a pelican puke-fest. With their professor and fellow volunteer expecting them to just suck it up and keep working, they were left wondering if they were in the wrong for wanting to tap out. Let’s dive into their messy tale…

Pelican Puke Party: A Zoology Student’s Nightmare

Our zoology student thought they’d signed up for a cool volunteer opportunity banding pelicans with their professor and a professional. But after getting vomited on by a pelican, they found themselves gagging and nauseated, unable to continue. Despite the professional’s insistence that it was just part of the job, our protagonist couldn’t stomach the thought of getting puked on 10 more times that day. They ended up sitting out the rest of the day, trying to distract themselves from their vomit-stained shirt. The smelly trip back left them questioning if they did the right thing. Let’s see what people have to say about this sticky situation…
