Sometimes the best laid plans are meant to be broken. That’s what Alicia Jessop, a sports law professor at Pepperdine University, found out on arecent trip.
Theself-proclaimed “true millennial”wound up with the accidental photo of a lifetime while trying to capture a picture-perfect moment on the coast of Maine. All she wanted was a picture of herlobster rollin front of a lighthouse—but the seagull watching her had other plans and proceeded to swipe the sandwich right out of her hands.
On the website she created after the incident, aptly namedseagullstolemylobsterroll.com, Jessop recalled how she took an impulsive trip to Maine after leaving a work conference in Vermont. “I always dreamt of eating a lobster roll on the coast of Maine,” she said. “With a few hours to spare, I booked a rental car and drove through New England to York, Maine.”
Stopping at Fox’s Lobster House adjacent to the city’s famous Nubble Lighthouse, Jessop was thrilled to finally fulfill her dream of eating a fresh Maine lobster roll and ordered one to-go.

She then went back to the restaurant and ordered another lobster roll—spending a total of $43 on lobster rolls for the day—which she finally got to enjoy.
After, she sent out a quick tweet as she left the parking lot to share the funny experience with her followers. By the time she landed back in Los Angeles hours later, her photo was trending. The original tweet now has over 201,000 likes and 28,000 retweets.
