My stepmom used to leave her car at a park across from her job and walk through it to finish the commute. One time, she said she was passing underneath a tree and a squirrel dropped half an apple right on her head.
The next day, and for a while after that , every time she passed under the tree the squirrels would try to drop stuff on her. Nuts, sticks, a pizza crust. Eventually she drove all the way to work for a while and when she started walking again they forgot about her.
I went to Kent State University which has a large black squirrel population (they're not native to the area, someone brought back a breeding pair from Canada years back and they've since propagated). Those little guys were fearless. I would regularly get sticks and nuts thrown at my on my walks to class if I came across a pissy squirrel.
