How to deal with geese that are harassing you to get off their grass, sidewalk, parking lot, yard, patio, or whatever:

If a goose comes toward you—head toward it, arms spread, hissing. You have just told the goose that they are wrong, it is your grass, sidewalk or whatever. The goose will decide that you are the biggest, baddest goddam goose it has ever seen, and will move out of your way.

Caveat: This will not work if the goose is protecting its nest or young. Then you just let it borrow your grass, sidewalk, patio, or whatever. Unless you can borrow a border collie.
