It's not just farm animals...

... that are extracting revenge, they’ve co-opted farm machinery. From The Dorset Echo:

Dorset County Show: Runaway tractor terror A DISABLED woman had a lucky escape after a runaway tractor crashed into her mobility scooter at the Dorset County Show. Amputee Ann Topp, 73, was sent crashing into a stall in the dramatic accident. The tractor, part of a static display on top of a hill on the east side of the Dorchester showground, careered down a slope for about 100 metres before colliding with Mrs Topp...

First the runaway hay bale, now this; you'll have to start a whole new category.

McH, that was my first thought. But the lady was hardly a musician, let alone a drummer (she'd have struggled with the foot pedals).

If you were a Resistentialist, you would know that this sort of thing happens all the time, just not so spectacularly. "Les choses sont contre nous."
