Pople do stupid things

[Triskelion]

People behave in the most incomprehensible ways sometimes.


I saw one guy in the gym locker room blow drying his carrot. And I mean, a carrot. Did he wash it and need to dry it in order to put it down his trousers or something?

Today, it was another guy blow drying himself nude - bent over and giving his anus a nice open blast of hot air, as well as anyone walking in the door. Hmm, springtime in Browntown.

Another time, I'm in the shower, and the only person there; and the whole thing is empty, and a guy comes in and takes the stall next to mine. His runoff goes over my stall floor and into a central drain. He then proceeds to hawk gobs all over the floor in the current going under my feet.

And today I'm standing waiting for a taxi, and an old guy comes up to me and rubs my belly and laughs! It wasn't mean-spirited or gay, just naive country bumpkin crap. I just laughed, but to be honest my first impulse was to fire a blunderbuss in his face.

Groups of people who walk mind-numbingly slow in amoeba fashion and never let anyone get past them or figure out which way to break. Or people who stop at the top of the escalator to look around and contemplate where they will go - then look surprised when you plow into them.

What stupid things have you seen people do?

I have seen (or rather heard) people call a man's penis a carrot.

Concerning your last example, I couldn't stand how many groups would walk shoulder to shoulder on a path at the zoo where I interned at a few years back, blocking other people's paths as if they owned the place.

That's funny

But it was literally a carrot, the vegetable. A useful gym accessory, perhaps?

 

[T'Baio]

You mean like misspell thread titles?

Let's play Find the Pople in the Pizza!

 

[Cutter John]

Well, I blow dried a bunch of potatoes once. After a female friend told me you were supposed to peel them THEN wash'em.

Though I admit it was done more for comedy effect than anything else.

Glad my little jokle wasn't overlooked.

Yeah, nice cover.

Maybe he was washing it after it had been down his trousers. Might have wanted to make a nice salad that evening.

Today, it was another guy blow drying himself nude - bent over and giving his anus a nice open blast of hot air, as well as anyone walking in the door. Hmm, springtime in Browntown.

Is he close personal friends with the carrot-washing guy by any chance? Because if so, I think I just solved the puzzle.

Depends on the gym.

I was just thinking that.

OT, how about blow through a stop sign with a cop sitting directly across the street. Within view.

It's fun to stay at the YMCA....

People who have no concept of the world around them, their environment, how their actions impact on others and themselves... this beguiles me.

I mean, you detain someone. Their back is against a 12 foot tall pillar. You inform them they're being searched. You move them slightly away from the wall so they don't feel pressured too much (I'm a nice, touchy feely kinda officer. No need to wind them up). You move to their side so you can search a leg and pocket. You bend down slightly as you reach the ankle. They kick your hand away, spin, and run... smacking their entire left hand side and face into the pillar and knocking themselves unconscious. You call London Ambulance Service.

And the moral of this story is... custody photos when you have a broken nose are kinda funny.


Hugo - Not THAT evil. Honest

We clearly just have very logical, problem-solving minds....

 

[Sheliak]

You should have grabbed his carrot and taken a bite.

Yes we do.

I remember once when I was a grocery bagger, this lady demanded -- very strongly -- her vanilla and chacolate ice cream be bagged seperately.


Another time I was shopping at someplace -- Wal-Mart I think -- and this old looking guy that probably had wind blowing between his ears, in his long-assed car pulls in slowly. He steps about a foot short of the think cement pole. He inches up closer, stops. Closer, stops. Closer, stops. Closer, dents his front bumper into it, and puts it into park. Way to go, grandpa!


This one I saw at Wal-Mart (again, coincidentally). I sometimes buy the Quaker granola bars, peanut butter flavor. Regular was out and only 25% Less Fat ones were in. Now, having worked as a stocker before, I know it doesn't take a genius to realize that isn't two slots for the same item almost right next toeach other, yet they just shove them in because it looks similar.


Picture this one: You have a four-lane street. The two lanes going one way begin to curve off to the left and a third lane appears on the right and curves rather obtusely. Inbetween the two lanes and that third lane is a large patch of yellow warning lines. Got that? Okay, now get ready for it:
Some dickhead in a fancy car is in the left-most lane. He barrells out, across the right lane (cutting close to someone), over the yellow lines, and into the third lane, cutting someone off.



I'm not meaning to insult you here, but rather point out the irony of starting a thread about doing stupid things when your thread title reads:

This I hate. People who walk around oblivious to those around him.

Do you realize the can of worms you're opening with me here?'

Sometimes in shelf-facing you dummy up the empty slots with other items to make the shelves look full.

More irony.
