AITA for laughing at my buddy, who spent his entire 5-figure savings on a live peacock as a 'romantic gesture' for his Tinder date? He bought the bird from a sketchy breeder, thinking it'd make him look 'regal' or some cringe BS. Instead, the peacock took one look at his cramped studio apartment, let out a screech that sounded like a dying vuvuzela, then yeeted itself through a window. It's now terrorizing the entire suburban cul-de-sac, strutting across lawns, pecking at Priuses, and screaming at 4 AM. The local Facebook group is calling it 'The Community Peacock' and holding a vote on whether to trap it or just let it become a local cryptid. TL;DR: Man thought he'd get laid, ended up supporting an avian lord of chaos.
