THE PARKING LOT – Pop quiz: How would you feel if you walked out into a parking lot and a pack of wolves was lurking around the cars? Or if you were in that same parking lot and it were taken over by a pride of lions or a sleuth of bears?

My guess is you'd be freaked out. Terrified, even.

After all, parking lots are supposed to be calm places. Predictable places. Boring places.

So it's surprising to see animals move in. Even if the animals in question are a rafter of turkeys. That's right, a group of turkeys is called a rafter. And the rafter in this video is undeniably intimidating.

This scene unfolded in Asheville, North Carolina. The user who uploaded the video reports that they were leaving the laundromat when they encountered this turkey gang acting like "it was their lot, their cars ... no big deal."

Seems like a pretty accurate description.
