A jogger was left fuming after crazed seagulls "hit them on the head" twice - in one week.
The unlucky runner was so miffed they demanded a council do something about the "aggressive birds".
Their complaint is just one of a dozen gull gripes lodged with North Tyneside Council in recent years from people fed-up of the divebombing birds.
The birds also sparked a spat between neighbours amid claims one was repeatedly feeding them.
The other neighbour pleaded with the council to "send a letter to tell them to stop".
Hungry gulls have been blamed for a string of shocking attacks on Brits this summer.
A Chihuahua named Gizmo was reportedly pinched by a seagull from its owner's back garden.
The rising attacks has seen the birds branded 'psychotic airborne scumbags' by one British tabloid.
And across Tyneside there has been a spate of complaints over the birds.
South Tyneside Council's revealed an explosion in complaints this summer with locals moaning about the "nuisance" birds.
Three complaints were made in just one day in July - just 48 hours after Gizmo vanished.
And complaints have shot up South of the Tyne by 50% compared to 2018, Freedom of Information figures have revealed.
And in North Tyneside, a similar request has revealed locals have repeatedly demanded action since 2016.
One complainant urged the council to deliver leaflets to help people bird-proof their homes while another simply asked: "Can something be done about the number of seagulls in the borough?"
When asked what is being done, the council pointed ChronicleLive to its website which advises residents they can use tactics like gels and spikes to keep their homes bird-free.
South Tyneside Council previously told ChronicleLive its hands were largely tied by red tape over what action it can take.
“Unfortunately, there is no easy solution to the problems that seagulls cause," admitted Councillor Joan Atkinson, Lead Member for Area Management and Community Safety.
“We recognise that herring gulls can cause a nuisance, particularly during their brief breeding season while rearing their young.
"However, they are currently a red list protected species which limits the actions that we can take.
"Under current legislation it would be illegal to kill or interfere with the birds, nest or eggs unless there was a risk to public health or public safety and, even then, could only be a last resort when other forms of deterrent have been tried or are impractical."
