People should have learned by now to protect their food when seagulls are around.

Alicia Jessop found out the hard way you cannot trust the pesky birds.

She was just about to enjoy a tasty looking lobster roll when it was stolen by a seagull on Friday.

Pepperdine University sports law professor Ms Jessop only had herself to blame as her food was grabbed while she was taking a selfie in front of the Nubble Lighthouse.

She told Buzzfeed: ‘I was kind of like figuring out how to hold the lobster roll — Do I hold it long? Do I hide it wide? What angle should the lighthouse be in? — and then I just felt something move the lobster roll.

‘I didn’t even see the seagull coming.’

This is why we can’t have nice things. I was trying to take a picture of the lobster roll I ordered in Maine and well, this happened 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/N601vpQ41h — Alicia Jessop (@RulingSports) June 7, 2019

She added her lobster roll went everywhere before other seagulls came and finished it off.

Ms Jessop did see the funny side despite having to pay another $21.50 for a new roll at Fox’s Lobster House in Maine, United States.

She tweeted out a picture of her getting robbed, with the caption: ‘This is why we can’t have nice things. I was trying to take a picture of the lobster roll I ordered in Maine and well, this happened.’

Ms Jessop, who was returning from a conference, said she didn’t mind paying for another roll because it was on her bucket list to try one since she was young.

Many of her Twitter followers commiserated her for the loss of her lobster roll but a lot of them were still happy it had happened because of the brilliant selfie she took.

A user wrote: ‘I’m sorry you lost the lobster roll but that is an awesome picture.’
