Back in the 60s, stores weren't allowed to be open on Sundays. My dad had some errands to run (He was a church elder, it was something to do with that.) and parking in the empty store parking lot was easier for him. My mom sat in the car while he did whatever. She got bored, and decided to do some shopping. The door was unlocked, and there were employees inside. They were all giving her odd looks, but she didn't understand why. Someone had to literally open a till to ring up her cart full of purchases, which she thought was definitely weird, but still shrugged it off. She met my dad as they both reached the car at the same time. He asked where she got all the stuff she'd bought. She finally had had enough of all the weirdness and snapped "From the store, OBVIOUSLY!" while pointing at the building and the bags. My dad looked confused and responded "But it's Sunday.". Finally, after longer than it should have, my mom started cracking up, shortly followed by my dad. The store was owned by a Jewish family. Their Sabbath is on Saturday, but the state laws dictated they couldn't be "open" on Sundays. So the family had everyone come in on Sundays and do inventory, reset displays, etc. When some random woman wandered in on a Sunday, they didn't refuse her service. While my parents were driving away, they did notice everyone in the store lined up at the windows, awkwardly waving with confused smiles. 🤣🤣🤣 On a positive note, shortly after that our state changed the laws, and allowed most stores to be open on Sundays. It started with that town, seeing as they had a rather large number of Jewish people who settled there after WWII. My parents became friends with those store owners, and they'd laugh together while retelling the story for decades to come.❤
Story 17: the poster is correct, but also completely and utterly insufferable and desperately needs to knock back the tallest glass of humility they can find.
It's like: 1) What are the real problems, and what are the real and practical solutions? The problem is that there are so many ideas of what the problems are, or what the solutions are that people fight each other instead of their ideas. 2) Don't focus on religion, politics, or global conflicts. Instead in a completely secular manner, go do these politically controversial things, and impose the "correct" view across all nations and cultures. Totally with you that OP is describing a real problem, but it's more of a problem inherent to humanity. Humanity is just as inherently valuable as it is broken.
A supermarket I worked at around 2000-2002 closed for good, there had been signs about it all over the store for weeks. After it closed many of us worked there for a few more days to inventory any non-perishable items. Despite all the closed signs and the "In" door being locked people continued trying to get in, some pulling open the "Out" door to get inside, and not understanding that we were competely closed for business.
You can put up all the signs you want, but you can't make them read. I work in Security for a school minding the gym when its rented for sports leagues and practices. Every year, I tell people locked gate does NOT mean climb the fence and let yourself in. Every year, someone I know was present for that talk does it, and is shocked there are consequences. Don't start me on when we required sign ins. People would stare at the hand high letters, ALL GUESTS MUST SIGN IN AND OUT, stare at the sheet...then ask me what it's for, or if they really have to. No, I do this for fun. YES YOU HAVE TO!
The guy in story 17 is the perfect example of what happens when an idiot has a little knowledge and thinks he’s an expert. I’d be surprised if can get the date right 2 days in a row!
At work I listened to two people get into a very heated argument about when Cinco de Mayo is. The first said it was always the first Friday of May and the other said it was the first weekend of May. When I explained that Cinco de Mayo literally meant May Fifth, they both laughed at me and then continued their debate.
@@twocrow48 it's only logical to believe that as in the USA it's the "Mexican day" and Cinco de Mayo is indeed a national holiday in Mexico. But the actual Independence Day in Mexico is on the eve of September 16, therefore it overlaps between 15 & 16 of September. "Quince de Septiembre". Also you'll never find Chili con carne in Mexico (they don't even know what it is, it's from Texas, even though it's delicious), and you won't find hard-shell U shaped tacos a la Taco Bell either ^^ In fact it's a whole lifestyle to be able to wrap a soft tortilla around your food, and bite it without spilling the contents on yourself 😄😄 Cheers!
@@luketimewalker to be fair I thought everyone knew American Mexican food was vastly different. Nacho fries aren’t a thing even tho those are decent half the time 💀
While I was working at a U-Haul store, a section of the property had a gravel pit put in for drainage. It was a good five feet deep so trying to drive over it was never a good idea. One day our own marketing manager was visiting the store and tried driving our forklift over the gravel pit, and of course it got stuck. Our marketing manager everyone…🤦♂️
Well keep in mind that this gravel pit was filled in all the way, but there’s no solid ground for traction. I could forgive the average person for trying to drive over it if they weren’t aware of that fact, but was the marketing manager. This guy was notorious for overseeing and micromanaging projects like this, so he should have known better.
This all reminds me of the time i worked at a gas station. We closed at 10 pm, turned all the gas pumps, and our car wash off for the night, but we stayed inside until 10:30 pm to clean up/count register money. I swear to god we had at least a few people come in every night either a few mintues after we close or more and would demand we pump their fuel. Thankfully, we had a policy that after the lights inside were turned off, service stopped for the night, and those were on an automated timer. So fun to tell people to leave and watch them leave in a huff when we wouldn't do what they wanted
One night we were moving and pulled into a gas station. The pumps were shut off, but there were still workers. Upon realizing that the place was closed, I asked if there was a place nearby that was still open. Unexpectedly, the manager turned the pumps back on. We filled our three cars with 200 litres of fuel and tipped handsomely. We plan better now.
@@michaelbujaki2462 Ive seen that happen plenty. Maybe its someone from out of town, and theyre nice and polite. I dont know many people who wouldnt try to do something for those who arent assholes.
Though we are meant to be social creatures, most infants are naturally self-centered ('Feed me, clothe me, change me, hold me.' if they could speak). This often must be taught away but never fully goes away. Some are never taught. Others refuse to learn. As long as there is one person who does not consider others as important, then world peace will be difficult to maintain, if attained at all.
Worked at dollar general I have endless stories lmao. My favorite is the woman who got pissed at me because she couldn’t find hostess snacks… while they were right behind her. She just looked laughed and apologized. She didn’t realize I was also the cashier so it was awkward when I then followed her to the front and checked her out 😭
Working at Wal-Mart from 2 PM to 11 PM, I'm still dumbfounded at the amount of customers still taking their time shopping near 11 PM or even after like we're still open 24 hours, even though we make announcements throughout the last hour of the night (I'm the one who does the announcements on my working days, and I make sure I'm VERY loud and clear). We haven't been 24 hours since April 2020, the company has no plans to ever return to 24 hours, and somehow some customers still haven't gotten the memo. I can understand customers not realize our location doesn't sell cigarettes in 3 1/2 years, that's fine, we're off a highway so I'm sure many come from areas with Wal-Marts that aren't smoke-free, but Wal-Marts that close at 11 PM are pretty universal for almost 5 years now.
When I worked retail, we had a person come in an hour before closing, ignore the closing calls, my manager turned all the lights off, but the 2 front rows. She was still in the clothing section shopping in the pitch black. We finally got to leave 45 minutes after closing time.
some people act like closing time is just a suggestion. You could scream the announcement, and they’d still be strolling around like it’s 24/7. Five years and they still don’t get it.
Someone from a summer job felt the need to tell me that different countries had different words for each thing. This was after I told him that I just returned from a semester in Spain. I was called over educated for having a driver's ed class at my high school that explained how a car worked along with how to drive one. When I told a coworker how effective birth control is when used properly, she replied, "Shut up. You don't even HAVE any kids." Duh.
Declaring a person dead when they're still alive or vice versa is a dumb mistake but.. imagine not believing somebody is dead when they really are. When my dad passed away my mom sent copies of his death certificate to anyone that might need it. It's been over ten years.. the credit card company still calls asking for him. The Internet and phone won't allow my mom to change the bills to her name. They would need to speak to my dad. Guess we need to buy a ouija board. 🙄
My dad died a little over 3 yrs ago now. Some bills still come in his name. We have told them, and some of them came to his funeral, but still won't change the name on the bill.
Every day that I drive. Lately you can't even go a single day without someone driving down the wrong side of the road. Saw a video today of someone driving up over a sidewalk and over a path by a school
Idk if what I'm saying counts but some of my friends will ask how much money I have(either in my banking account or on hand) or they'll ask me to borrow money/ask me to buy something. I'll tell them I don't have the money(even if I do) or I'll tell them it's none of their business what I currently have in the bank. For whatever reason they never get the point and they continue to ask. Idk if they're stupid or just don't care.
1: those aren't friends. 2: they are both stupid and don't care. If they're anything like how the people I know that do that, they'd sooner Rob their own dying mother than work an honest hour of work. (Or myself and my dying mother after we give them a temporary free place to live after a serious tragedy, then try to blame it on me)
I've always hated forever chemical balloons. I remember that balloon fiasco as it was leading up to the event on tv, and couldn't believe it was going to happen.
"Forever chemicals" are non natural chemicals that don't break down, often toxic and accumulate in nature or the body over time. (according to a quick Google search)
I work in IT, I spend most days wondering how the vast majority of the population hasn't managed to wander into traffic because they saw something shiny. A lesser but not insignificant percentage of the time is spent trying to understand how some people managed to become the owner of a business, and the remaining time is dedicated to restraining myself as I somehow have to politely explain something along the lines of "spraying WINDEX on your laptop keyboard to clean it, and then attempting to use it after it shut itself off several times and you smelled something burning... was, in fact, not a good idea"
I worked at a large national clothing store in a mall selling men's clothing. We had poster size signs with Levi's on them on sign holders and on the walls. A customer came in and asked if we sold Levi's. I just shook my haed and said yes sir we do, pointing to the 30ft wall of Levi's.
Honestly, I've done this a couple times. Each time I just go "Oh... shit, I probably should of looked before making a fool of myself." and chuckle at my stupidity. Both times I got them to chuckle with me (or at me, either way it's fine cause I deserved it). 😂😂
I was once in a bakery and wanted a pretzel. They said they don't sell pretzels. I was confused and left the store to look again at it from the outside. There was a 2 m big metal pretzel in front above the storefront as logo with the name of the store. Only cause it is advertised, it doesn't mean they sell it. So sometimes asking the obvious is not that obvious.
@@DragonstoneWolfe Ive done that staring at the item in question, usually for several seconds first. Were all human, and can totally blank at any time.
#17 is just plain silly. It's not people being dumb when they don't set their differences aside it's that people have different experiences which give them different world views that have them believe different solutions are what's necessary. All you did was give a laundry list of what you think was wrong with the world and you think if someone disagrees with you they're dumb and they should just do what you want. That's just tyranny. While you may have good intentions it doesn't change the fact that many people go astray with good intentions.
They are also dumb for thinking that it's about people being different, when the root cause of people not working together is actually selfishness and a desire to keep the status quo from the haves versus the have nots. Sure, people could work together, but then Africa might become the world's superpower continent, and the USA won't like that etc.
So with the story talking about frozen, that was a exaggerated story of what the director personally went through the ski lift stopped while he was on it and he was worried about getting down, but then it started back up and brought him back down so he did a movie about people getting stuck on a ski lift. I entered the contest the face of horror and he was one of the directors that they got to talk about their movies.
Used to work in a school as a science tech. I was prepping some chemicals (diluting conc sulphuric acid iirc). So i had my labcoat, apron, face shield and gauntlets on, working under a fumehood. Like proper fully kitted out in PPE because you dont want that stuff getting on your skin. I had locked the door to make sure no one wandered in while i was working and i hear the door handle go so i turn round and look through the window on the door and see one of the teachers. Any reasonable person would have probably gone "PPE, door locked. Ill come back later" instead they took out their keys and unlocked the door and asked me for something super unimportant they needed for a class hours later. I just stared at the for like a full minute before telling them i was busy at the moment
My husband was a custodian in one of the school districts. Teachers were notorioue for going where they shouldn't like the one who tried to cut through the gym when the floor was being waxed. She fell and hurt her leg. Office help would use bathroome that were meant for kids' use.
@@adelerodriguez2432 if it's not going somewhere they shouldn't it was using some equipment they shouldn't. On more than one occasion I put big "do not use" signs on stuff only to come back later to find it turned on and the sign moved
I also went to school with a girl who didn't understand that you actually had to pay back credit cards. We tried to explain this simple concept but she still thought it was unfair advertising.
I’m a semi truck driver and as you can imagine, it’s not easy finding a parking space in the city when I need to head into the store for a snack. Most times I park in the turning lane or divider lane. Put my four ways on and head inside. It always baffles me to see people waiting behind me in that lane know the truck has its hazards on and the engine is off.
A state lottery I work with got multiple complaints because they had a different host one week. The regular host came down with laryngitis. The host doesn't draw the balls; they just call the numbers drawn. But no, there must have been some sort of scam going on.
OMG! First story made me think of this in a random way lol! I volunteer sometimes at a Salvation Army store. The store is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays, but people are usually there sorting through donations and hanging clothes and stuff. Sometimes people will leave donations outside of the store when it's closed. I mean, like, why? Let's assume for a minute that volunteers and employees enter and exit the building through the side door. Donations may be missed, and potentially get, ya know, rained on and ruined or something. Annoying but whatever. Last time I was there, there was a white board outside stating to please bring donations when the store was open. There was also a rope across the railings by the front entrance to deter people coming up to the doors. There were still at least two people who left donations outside of the building, and didn't bother to try to call the store or main Salvation Army building to at least maybe be like "I wanna donate stuff but can't come back tomorrow. Any chance there's someone I can give them to?"
During Covid I worked at Walgreens we had a limit on our rubbing alcohol 1 per household. This woman had two or three bottles so I politely let her know the rule. She looked me dead in the face and said “oh but it’s not for my house it’s for my clothes?!” Covid brought the worst out of people. We had to put a sheet in front of the door at night when we closed for cleaning. People would bang on the door bewildered.
My sister. She had post -Polio Syndrome and had to retirwvin her 50s. She eventually got a laptop but, being late to the game, really knew nothing about using it, so I stronglyvurged her to take a class, which she did. Somehow, though, she just didn't 'get' some things. Like Google. She called me one day (I kice 3 hours away so couldn't stop by) to ask me this question: When I Google something, is there a live person at Google who answers my questions? It took everything I'm me to not burst out laughing, while simultaneously reminding myself that I had worked with computers for 33 years *dumb terminals, but still...) while she had been in display in large department stores for longer, so had no exposure to computers.
A lot of people at the stores I worked at, co workers from hell, co workers that can not read a room and talk to a guest of my hotel about how "USA will start a war" (I am so sorry Mr. from Hawaii). We can add also here all the arguments I had on the net through the years. Several of them the other side would write me here so hey we all have our ups and downs.
Got pulled aside when picking up my pre-school-age son from daycare. They told me that during lunch, he had made a gun out of his sandwich. This was a well-established place that had been running for years. I don't know how much experience they'd had with young boys, but I managed not to ask if he'd shot anyone. Later, I just told him not to do that. Problem solved.

2:06 oh NOOO.. so much pollution! Balloon releases are terrible for the environment. Please think of something else to do for your celebrations and weddings! Mylar balloons last forever
I remember that my elementary school used to do the balloon thing back in the 1980s. I think they quit that after the infamous balloon disaster. I'm glad they did!
@@melissacooper8724 My school back then also did a balloon thing too but it was different project. We tied a nice note on the balloon and released it. The idea was to put a smile on the face of the person who found it. It was a weird idea to me as a kid, especially if the balloons got stuck in trees or electrical lines, etc... Fortunately they didn't continue to do that after a while as the pieces were bad for the environment.
It took me many years to understand that balloons actually fell back to the ground when they ran out of air, for some strange reason, I thought they went into space. Don’t worry, by the time I figured that one out I was at least 10, so some concepts did take me forever long to figure out, that was not one of them. I did a series of vending machines in high school, drove me crazy when they were not filled properly. What do I mean by properly? I just mean the right thing in the right slot, although that bothered me too, they have to be slanted in such a way that they can fall down when the little claw thing that allows them to Appear in the slot to grab them. Her food vending machine that is for soda, vending machines, and is different for cans as opposed to bottles, or at least I think it is. There are many things that could’ve been wrong here, the man could’ve been blind, it was sprite? That’s the only way I can see him doing that and then doing it again. I went to a special high school for the blind and we had posted on the wall next to the vending machine, what combination you which item. Kubin slightly mentally slow, and I’m being very generous with that term, I will not use the R word here.

For example, my father has a decent strength store, a decent charisma score, not the greatest score, and ungodly score, but obviously wisdom was his dubstep. The man has no common sense.
Story 5 I could imagine that the person confused which row the C and E was indicating. If the letters were hanging below the Colas and thus right above the Sprites, he might have thought the letters were meant to indicate the Sprites by hanging above them. And for story 14, I guess that girl confused powdered sugar with flour, so she had too much flour but no sugar in it.
That "safe for microwave" could be me, i'm sometimes very dumb and sometimes the opposite hopefully, my thinking would be some other thing including microwaves or diffrent strengths of microwaves, then i realise it would probably refer to something one normally do to stuff related to food. i can cast a too wide net in my thinking. I'm designing machines, custom made machines and robotics. I can be somewhat lost in the wrong setting :D
Not reading signs in the stores is nothing new, everyone has a brain fart moment or overlooks something. But my confusion when i was pushing carts outside and a women came up to me asking where the entrance to our store was. The entrance underneath a large sign with our logo underneath the only pointed part of the building with 2 very large doors that cant be missed were completely invisible to this women 😂
I may have commented already, but I’ll comment again, because I can. The guy in retail, my mother has done that last one I’m more than one occasion, and then we generally say it could be her old number, and then rattle off the old number because I have, my cell number, her cell number, my cell number, my mother‘s old cell number, and my original home phone number memorized. And the one about the toys, I would’ve added to that question it says 6+ or 8+, however, I do not want to insult the child’s intelligence, therefore what would be most appropriate? Literally did that last week, that week weekend with some Legos I was getting for my nephew, although he’s 13 and not 10.
I was in my car with my mother. We were heading home after taking care of a few errands. I had my phone plugged into my car's stereo, and I had Last Week Tonight playing, specifically the one about voting. While I was driving and thus was not watching the video (I already had long before this story), my mother was. Occasionally, I would catch very quick glimpses of her face, and every time I did, I'd see this look of pure horror, which was always at the points where John Oliver not only pointed out how so many of the Republican talking points on voting security were BS, but for the few ones that were not, they were _always_ being committed *_by Republicans._* And then, after John pointed out that the then-latest proposed bill that would have actually resolved the real security issues - the same ones the Republicans were always using for themselves - was voted down by Republicans, my mother said, "Republicans will protect our voting rights." Yes, after *_ALL OF THAT EVIDENCE,_* that was her conclusion, and she has never been one to troll. She genuinely believed that, even after all of that evidence that showed that she believed in a quite massive lie. I am still split on whether or not I should have just snapped a turn in front of that oncoming loaded logging truck so that we would get t-boned (with her side being struck first), because I genuinely thought, "You just successfully argued against any and all continuation of your existence" - and again, _that was my mother._ And for the record, no, I did not make that turn. Ever since then, whenever I am reminded of something absolutely dumb that people say, do, or believe, I remember that time, which then always follows with "I got my genes from that, so there is a very real possibility that I will go from being stupid to being ^^^^ing stupid, and knowing my luck, I am ^^^^ed."
Yikes, man, that’s a heavy situation. Political conversations with family can really test your patience, but good call not making that turn. Just keep reminding yourself you're your own person, even if you came from that.

why would anyone go to a tea house to drink crappy coffee it's just like the people who drink tea at Starbucks it's a fucking tea bag in water for which you pay the price of a high end coffee product at least in most of the tea houses I've been to there were at least exceptional tea varieties and a great ambience I'm sure whatever coffee is served in a tea house is made in the cheapest coffee machine they can get but that probably doesn't matter here in America brother the sense of shame about drinking coffee in a tea house or the break with cultural norm that that means is non-existent
Right? It’s wild. Going to a tea house for coffee is like going to a steakhouse for salad. You’re just not getting the best version of what you’re there for.
People instantly believing some random stranger on the internet making baseless accusations against the biggest TH-camr on the platform.

To be fair, most bowls you buy aren’t technically microwave safe. Just because it isn’t third degree burns doesn’t mean it’s safe. Especially children’s bowls. Those things will melt your flesh off with a 30 second microwave heat up.

I could forgive the average person for trying to drive over it if they weren’t aware of that fact, but was the marketing manager. This guy was notorious for overseeing and micromanaging projects like this, so he should have known better.
This all reminds me of the time i worked at a gas station. We closed at 10 pm, turned all the gas pumps, and our car wash off for the night, but we stayed inside until 10:30 pm to clean up/count register money. I swear to god we had at least a few people come in every night either a few mintues after we close or more and would demand we pump their fuel. Thankfully, we had a policy that after the lights inside were turned off, service stopped for the night, and those were on an automated timer. So fun to tell people to leave and watch them leave in a huff when we wouldn't do what they wanted
One night we were moving and pulled into a gas station. The pumps were shut off, but there were still workers. Upon realizing that the place was closed, I asked if there was a place nearby that was still open. Unexpectedly, the manager turned the pumps back on. We filled our three cars with 200 litres of fuel and tipped handsomely.
We plan better now.

Though we are meant to be social creatures, most infants are naturally self-centered ('Feed me, clothe me, change me, hold me.' if they could speak). This often must be taught away but never fully goes away. Some are never taught. Others refuse to learn. As long as there is one person who does not consider others as important, then world peace will be difficult to maintain, if attained at all.
At this rate Independence Day (the movie) needs to happen for world peace to happen.
Worked at dollar general I have endless stories lmao. My favorite is the woman who got pissed at me because she couldn’t find hostess snacks… while they were right behind her. She just looked laughed and apologized. She didn’t realize I was also the cashier so it was awkward when I then followed her to the front and checked her out 😭
Hey, at least she apologized. Maybe she had a horrible day.

I say that pretty much every time I hear about people doing a thing.
Working at Wal-Mart from 2 PM to 11 PM, I'm still dumbfounded at the amount of customers still taking their time shopping near 11 PM or even after like we're still open 24 hours, even though we make announcements throughout the last hour of the night (I'm the one who does the announcements on my working days, and I make sure I'm VERY loud and clear). We haven't been 24 hours since April 2020, the company has no plans to ever return to 24 hours, and somehow some customers still haven't gotten the memo. I can understand customers not realize our location doesn't sell cigarettes in 3 1/2 years, that's fine, we're off a highway so I'm sure many come from areas with Wal-Marts that aren't smoke-free, but Wal-Marts that close at 11 PM are pretty universal for almost 5 years now.
Ikr?! You would think people would catch on by now! Especially since Wal-Mart has signs on their doors stating their hours!
When I worked retail, we had a person come in an hour before closing, ignore the closing calls, my manager turned all the lights off, but the 2 front rows. She was still in the clothing section shopping in the pitch black. We finally got to leave 45 minutes after closing time.
some people act like closing time is just a suggestion. You could scream the announcement, and they’d still be strolling around like it’s 24/7. Five years and they still don’t get it.

Declaring a person dead when they're still alive or vice versa is a dumb mistake but.. imagine not believing somebody is dead when they really are. When my dad passed away my mom sent copies of his death certificate to anyone that might need it. It's been over ten years.. the credit card company still calls asking for him. The Internet and phone won't allow my mom to change the bills to her name. They would need to speak to my dad. Guess we need to buy a ouija board. 🙄
My dad died a little over 3 yrs ago now. Some bills still come in his name. We have told them, and some of them came to his funeral, but still won't change the name on the bill.
Thats actually not even legal. You can sue those companies.

Idk if what I'm saying counts but some of my friends will ask how much money I have(either in my banking account or on hand) or they'll ask me to borrow money/ask me to buy something. I'll tell them I don't have the money(even if I do) or I'll tell them it's none of their business what I currently have in the bank. For whatever reason they never get the point and they continue to ask. Idk if they're stupid or just don't care.
Never answer that!! I can't think of one real friend that would ever do that. You make sure you keep those boundaries high
1: those aren't friends.
2: they are both stupid and don't care. If they're anything like how the people I know that do that, they'd sooner Rob their own dying mother than work an honest hour of work. (Or myself and my dying mother after we give them a temporary free place to live after a serious tragedy, then try to blame it on me)

I've always hated forever chemical balloons. I remember that balloon fiasco as it was leading up to the event on tv, and couldn't believe it was going to happen.

I work in IT, I spend most days wondering how the vast majority of the population hasn't managed to wander into traffic because they saw something shiny.
A lesser but not insignificant percentage of the time is spent trying to understand how some people managed to become the owner of a business, and the remaining time is dedicated to restraining myself as I somehow have to politely explain something along the lines of "spraying WINDEX on your laptop keyboard to clean it, and then attempting to use it after it shut itself off several times and you smelled something burning... was, in fact, not a good idea"
A lot of this isn't about being dumb, it's about infinite entitlement. Rampant Main Character Syndrome.
I worked at a large national clothing store in a mall selling men's clothing. We had poster size signs with Levi's on them on sign holders and on the walls. A customer came in and asked if we sold Levi's. I just shook my haed and said yes sir we do, pointing to the 30ft wall of Levi's.
Honestly, I've done this a couple times. Each time I just go "Oh... shit, I probably should of looked before making a fool of myself." and chuckle at my stupidity. Both times I got them to chuckle with me (or at me, either way it's fine cause I deserved it). 😂😂
I was once in a bakery and wanted a pretzel. They said they don't sell pretzels. I was confused and left the store to look again at it from the outside. There was a 2 m big metal pretzel in front above the storefront as logo with the name of the store.
Only cause it is advertised, it doesn't mean they sell it. So sometimes asking the obvious is not that obvious.
Sounds like this could have been one of Bill Engvall’s “here’s your sign” stories.
@@DragonstoneWolfe Ive done that staring at the item in question, usually for several seconds first. Were all human, and can totally blank at any time.
#17 is just plain silly. It's not people being dumb when they don't set their differences aside it's that people have different experiences which give them different world views that have them believe different solutions are what's necessary. All you did was give a laundry list of what you think was wrong with the world and you think if someone disagrees with you they're dumb and they should just do what you want. That's just tyranny. While you may have good intentions it doesn't change the fact that many people go astray with good intentions.
They are also dumb for thinking that it's about people being different, when the root cause of people not working together is actually selfishness and a desire to keep the status quo from the haves versus the have nots. Sure, people could work together, but then Africa might become the world's superpower continent, and the USA won't like that etc.

So with the story talking about frozen, that was a exaggerated story of what the director personally went through the ski lift stopped while he was on it and he was worried about getting down, but then it started back up and brought him back down so he did a movie about people getting stuck on a ski lift. I entered the contest the face of horror and he was one of the directors that they got to talk about their movies.

Used to work in a school as a science tech. I was prepping some chemicals (diluting conc sulphuric acid iirc). So i had my labcoat, apron, face shield and gauntlets on, working under a fumehood. Like proper fully kitted out in PPE because you dont want that stuff getting on your skin.
I had locked the door to make sure no one wandered in while i was working and i hear the door handle go so i turn round and look through the window on the door and see one of the teachers. Any reasonable person would have probably gone "PPE, door locked. Ill come back later" instead they took out their keys and unlocked the door and asked me for something super unimportant they needed for a class hours later.

I’m a semi truck driver and as you can imagine, it’s not easy finding a parking space in the city when I need to head into the store for a snack. Most times I park in the turning lane or divider lane. Put my four ways on and head inside.

OMG! First story made me think of this in a random way lol! I volunteer sometimes at a Salvation Army store. The store is closed on Mondays and Wednesdays, but people are usually there sorting through donations and hanging clothes and stuff. Sometimes people will leave donations outside of the store when it's closed. I mean, like, why? Let's assume for a minute that volunteers and employees enter and exit the building through the side door. Donations may be missed, and potentially get, ya know, rained on and ruined or something. Annoying but whatever. Last time I was there, there was a white board outside stating to please bring donations when the store was open. There was also a rope across the railings by the front entrance to deter people coming up to the doors. There were still at least two people who left donations outside of the building, and didn't bother to try to call the store or main Salvation Army building to at least maybe be like "I wanna donate stuff but can't come back tomorrow. Any chance there's someone I can give them to?"
During Covid I worked at Walgreens we had a limit on our rubbing alcohol 1 per household. This woman had two or three bottles so I politely let her know the rule. She looked me dead in the face and said “oh but it’s not for my house it’s for my clothes?!” Covid brought the worst out of people. We had to put a sheet in front of the door at night when we closed for cleaning. People would bang on the door bewildered.
Wow, “it’s for my clothes”? People were really out here trying anything to get around the rules 😂
I don't know if it's a New York thing, but people tap on the store windows with their car keys if they want to get in.

My sister. She had post -Polio Syndrome and had to retirwvin her 50s. She eventually got a laptop but, being late to the game, really knew nothing about using it, so I stronglyvurged her to take a class, which she did.
Somehow, though, she just didn't 'get' some things. Like Google.
She called me one day (I kice 3 hours away so couldn't stop by) to ask me this question: When I Google something, is there a live person at Google who answers my questions?
It took everything I'm me to not burst out laughing, while simultaneously reminding myself that I had worked with computers for 33 years *dumb terminals, but still...) while she had been in display in large department stores for longer, so had no exposure to computers.
A lot of people at the stores I worked at, co workers from hell, co workers that can not read a room and talk to a guest of my hotel about how "USA will start a war" (I am so sorry Mr. from Hawaii).

Got pulled aside when picking up my pre-school-age son from daycare. They told me that during lunch, he had made a gun out of his sandwich. This was a well-established place that had been running for years. I don't know how much experience they'd had with young boys, but I managed not to ask if he'd shot anyone. Later, I just told him not to do that. Problem solved.
Did he shoot anyone?
Did anyone feel like they were going to be shot?
Did he grab someone else's sandwich and bite it into some kind of ammo?
Lmao!

I remember that my elementary school used to do the balloon thing back in the 1980s. I think they quit that after the infamous balloon disaster. I'm glad they did!
????
@@melissacooper8724 My school back then also did a balloon thing too but it was different project. We tied a nice note on the balloon and released it. The idea was to put a smile on the face of the person who found it. It was a weird idea to me as a kid, especially if the balloons got stuck in trees or electrical lines, etc... Fortunately they didn't continue to do that after a while as the pieces were bad for the environment.
@dragonfliesnh4204 That was why we did it, too! And you're right it was bad for the environment, and it was also bad for the birds.
Omg yes i really dislike balloon releases for this exact reason.
November 2024 you know what I mean
It took me many years to understand that balloons actually fell back to the ground when they ran out of air, for some strange reason, I thought they went into space. Don’t worry, by the time I figured that one out I was at least 10, so some concepts did take me forever long to figure out, that was not one of them. I did a series of vending machines in high school, drove me crazy when they were not filled properly. What do I mean by properly? I just mean the right thing in the right slot, although that bothered me too, they have to be slanted in such a way that they can fall down when the little claw thing that allows them to Appear in the slot to grab them. Her food vending machine that is for soda, vending machines, and is different for cans as opposed to bottles, or at least I think it is. There are many things that could’ve been wrong here, the man could’ve been blind, it was sprite? That’s the only way I can see him doing that and then doing it again. I went to a special high school for the blind and we had posted on the wall next to the vending machine, what combination you which item. Kubin slightly mentally slow, and I’m being very generous with that term, I will not use the R word here.

For example, my father has a decent strength store, a decent charisma score, not the greatest score, and ungodly score, but obviously wisdom was his dubstep. The man has no common sense.
Story 5 I could imagine that the person confused which row the C and E was indicating. If the letters were hanging below the Colas and thus right above the Sprites, he might have thought the letters were meant to indicate the Sprites by hanging above them. And for story 14, I guess that girl confused powdered sugar with flour, so she had too much flour but no sugar in it.

That "safe for microwave" could be me, i'm sometimes very dumb and sometimes the opposite hopefully, my thinking would be some other thing including microwaves or diffrent strengths of microwaves, then i realise it would probably refer to something one normally do to stuff related to food. i can cast a too wide net in my thinking.

Man, I've been through several dumb people moments.
I may have commented already, but I’ll comment again, because I can. The guy in retail, my mother has done that last one I’m more than one occasion, and then we generally say it could be her old number, and then rattle off the old number because I have, my cell number, her cell number, my cell number, my mother‘s old cell number, and my original home phone number memorized. And the one about the toys, I would’ve added to that question it says 6+ or 8+, however, I do not want to insult the child’s intelligence, therefore what would be most appropriate? Literally did that last week, that week weekend with some Legos I was getting for my nephew, although he’s 13 and not 10.
TIL that arugula is another name for rocket! Maybe that's why the guy was getting confused?

I was in my car with my mother. We were heading home after taking care of a few errands. I had my phone plugged into my car's stereo, and I had Last Week Tonight playing, specifically the one about voting. While I was driving and thus was not watching the video (I already had long before this story), my mother was. Occasionally, I would catch very quick glimpses of her face, and every time I did, I'd see this look of pure horror, which was always at the points where John Oliver not only pointed out how so many of the Republican talking points on voting security were BS, but for the few ones that were not, they were _always_ being committed *_by Republicans._*
And then, after John pointed out that the then-latest proposed bill that would have actually resolved the real security issues - the same ones the Republicans were always using for themselves - was voted down by Republicans, my mother said, "Republicans will protect our voting rights."
Yes, after *_ALL OF THAT EVIDENCE,_* that was her conclusion, and she has never been one to troll. She genuinely believed that, even after all of that evidence that showed that she believed in a quite massive lie.
I am still split on whether or not I should have just snapped a turn in front of that oncoming loaded logging truck so that we would get t-boned (with her side being struck first), because I genuinely thought, "You just successfully argued against any and all continuation of your existence" - and again, _that was my mother._ And for the record, no, I did not make that turn.
Ever since then, whenever I am reminded of something absolutely dumb that people say, do, or believe, I remember that time, which then always follows with "I got my genes from that, so there is a very real possibility that I will go from being stupid to being ^^^^ing stupid, and knowing my luck, I am ^^^^ed."
Yikes, man, that’s a heavy situation. Political conversations with family can really test your patience, but good call not making that turn. Just keep reminding yourself you're your own person, even if you came from that.
