dumb encounters Options

[boobooxpp]

close if there's already this topic =x i only found "dumb sayings" or "dumb rules/laws" but not this one. (maybe there is...but too many pages =x) sorry if this is long =x

I went to a bathroom at burger king and everyone knows how their lock systems work (most has those locks that slides through a hole to hold the door at it's place + NO FAST FOOD PLACES GIVES YOU KEYS (unless it's really protective =.= ) okay, so as i was at the bathroom, someone's knocking and i said "someone's in here" but i guess he didn't hear me so he's banging on the door, and im trying to do my stuff . somehow, the lock came loose (for some reason, i guess the pushing of the door slowly moved the lock from it's place) and the door was opening while i was still on the toilet! the door was pretty close to the toilet so i started pushing against the door to close it but he kept on pushing back...i quickly wiped, pulled up my pants, washed my hands (while my foot was trying to hold the door in place), and swung the door open yelling at him "WHAT THE EFF IS YOUR PROBLEM? DON'T YOU THINK SOMEONE'S IN THE BATHROOM IF THE DOOR IS PUSHING BACK AT YOU? DOORS DON'T HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN YA KNOW! GODD!!"

i seiously think that people are extremo dumb.

Who/what are some dumb people encounters you've had?

I think this would contribute. At the Burger King drive through, on the bottom of the order screen it says "picture menus (with braille) available upon request" Stop and think for a minute. There are 2 reasons someone would need a picture menu with braille. One, is if you are BLIND! If you are blind, you would not be going through a drive through alone. The other person could tell them what the menu said. The second group of of people would be for the people could not speak English. (I am just going to use Spanish as an example because the majority of people who do not speak English speak Spanish.) If they don't speak English, how are they supposed to read the sign that is in English to find out if they can get a picture menu? If it said it in Spanish, then I would understand, but it's in friggen ENGLISH. So we pull up and ask the manager guy about this, why is that sign there. WE HAD TO EXPLAIN TO HIM WHY IT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE! Then he still didn't really get it.

Only in America.

Well, my story is from a day i went to wawa.
My dad bought a cup of coffee and i was there with him at the counter with the milk and sugar and stuff.. and i was looking there.. and then i saw this sign.. and i started cracking up because the sign read "no mo french vanilla" the fact that they misspelled MORE was funny.. and now my brothers and i laugh about it all the time.

I saw a sign like that in one of the wawas here in virginia.

I had something similar
At Dunkin Donuts I went into the bathroom sat down to take a crap and I thought I locked the door when I went in (it was one toilet in the bathroom so its only one at a time) and apparently I didn't and some guy walked in -_- I'm like WTF GET THE EFF OUTTA HERE! He's just like...ok ok let me just wash my hands! I'm sitting there and I'm like...omfg..

[boobooxpp]

AHAHAHAH omg lo mein that is frickin hilarious!! i almost spat out my drink xP omg wooo..

[parallel]

H0LY CRAP. That so happened to me before. But not a fast food place. I like. Screamed at this little kid who was trying to CRAWL under the stall. I was like ;LFJA;LFHAS;FA;. YOU LiTTLE SHiT. Aha. It was great. But that kid was STUPiD.

Anywho. After you said that to the person. What did they say?

[SillyCourtney]

Oh my gosh these stories are all pretty funny.

I've had something like that happen to me, but in a dressing room. Usually when a door is closed it means someone is in the dressing room, but some idiot lady and her kid open the door and I start yelling at them to get out and this lady is just staring at me. It didn't really help that I didn't have a shirt on, but I was about to try on the shirt. I heard the lady mumbling something about rude teenagers and then I called her a b*tch. Luckily my mom wasn't around.

It was horrible! Oh I just remembered another story! This is the only memory that stands out when my family and I went to China when I was like 5? Anyway, I really had to use the bathroom and it was really bad and we were at the hotel waiting for something and my brother took me to the restroom and I thought one door was stuck and I walked in and...I never want to use a bathroom in China again...

hahahaha i suppose he didnt know you were..?

[lKVNiiKINKYl]

hahahaha i suppose he didnt know you were..?

He was like some 80 year old guy who doesn't know how to get out

[Saeglopur]

Haha, encounters. Well, I actually walked in someone using the bathroom once. Dammit.. what a horrible sight. I probably should have knocked first.

There was also this one time I was in Walmart, I grab this DVD from this guy.... I thought he was my dad and I was like, "We already have this!" and I look up and then it wasn't my dad and I was like, "Oh ... okay.. sorry." and I just walked away, casually and ran as soon as I was out of sight.

[lKVNiiKINKYl]

Oh I'm just full of stories now
I was in Chinatown with my mom one time and she went shopping and I got lost (mind you I was like 8) and I saw some old lady from behind and I never really looked at her and tugged her shirt and was like...MOM WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I started complaining and shes likee...who the hell are you. Gosh...that was a wierd day

[Ington]

Once, in this shopping center, I started following this family around thinking they were mine. After I went through half the center, I realized I don't know them. I ran around for like, 30 minutes and finally found my parents.

I like, love you know! You are my new storyteller!

[boobooxpp]

haha i love all your stories lo mein, but they're mostly about b.rooms xP that's weird.

+after i yelled at him, he was against the wall, scared, and i just walked away. xP

+i always mistaken one person for another.
one day, i was with my man at some computer store. i love games so i was checking out all the games with my man behind me. then i found an ineresting game so i reached behing me to grab his hand. for some reason, i couldn't grab it and i turned around to see what was up. then, i saw this couple staring at me with confusion and i was sooo embarrassed >< i apologized and looked for my bf and found out he was on the other side of the room =.= gah i then told him what happened and we cracked up like WOAHS =x

-keep them stories coming :)

[edit]

on the train today, i couldn't understand something...

it said "children's health plan. free and affordable" how could something be affordable if it's free? affordable means you have enough money to pay for it and free means, no money necessary. weird.

[mzbbc]

hahaha well one time i was at work and i couldn't find my bag, so i was going into a mental panic attack because it has some personal stuff it in... so i was just like "omg HE must've took! that f**king as$hole. i want my f**king bag back!" and it was some random guy i talked to like once.

so i walked up to him and grabbed his shoulder and was like "where's my bag????" he was like "uh. wth. i don't know." so i was like "what the hell? GIVE ME MY BAG BACK. i'm serious. IT'S NOT FUNNY as$hole! GIVE IT BACK. OMG." and then i looked over at the bench two feet away and saw it right there.


i haven't talked to him since.

[vash1530]

i have a pretty funny story. I was in the mall with my friend greg and he got into a fight with this kid. hes mad stupid and he tried to give the kid a spinning roundhouse. the funny thing is the kid hit him iin the back when he had spun around about half way. it was so funny. at least he redeemed himself by kicking the crap out of the kid afterwards.

I was walking out of the movie theater and through the hallway after watching Yours, Mines, and Ours. I was wearing my Abercrombie skijacket and it has a faux fur hood trim, so it resembles an eskimo jacket, I guess?! Anyways, I was walking and this guy, whom I didn't bother to turn around and look at, was shouting "Are you feeling ESKIMO?!" like, 6 times! I didn't turn around and he kept saying it lol; I guess he was especting me to turn around. I was tired, so I didn't even bother, until like, the 10th time he said it, I turned my head to the right and he was next to my niece, who was on my right. He asked her also, ARE YOU FEELING ESKIMO?! I just turned away and kept walking.

... That was one stupid , idiotic, and mentally challenged guy.

[xSiLLyMex]

hahhahah. these stories are funny. =)

well this didn't happen to me..but my cousin accidentally took this old lady's shopping cart by accident, thinking it was his. so he took off with it to his car. & the old lady was just standing waving at him, trying to get his attention. i finally told him that the cart wasn't ours.. yeaa. he was pretty embarrassed.

[misoshiru]

i've done something like that once too. hahahha. i was seven i think? i was at this bookstore, and i got bored after reading books, so i tried to find my parents, i guess, at that time, all adults looked pretty much the same to me. so i flung myself at this random dude who i seriously thought at the time was my dad. and said, "daddy i want to go home"

the dude just stared at me. and then i saw that it wasn't my dad and i ran away.

you know how when you're taking the bus and you have a paper dollar you put it through the slot? but it like never works... and you have to fold it up and shove it in the slot instead. well i didn't know that because i usually use change, but today i spent like 5 minutes trying to get the dollar through the slot until the bus driver yelled at me. "JUST FOLD IT UP! MY GOD."
i felt like crying.

i thought that was pretty dumb. they should just fix it so that it's like a coke machine or something.

I was walking with my boyfriend and friend at the train station. This Chinese girl walks in front of me and sticks her hand out behind her, like she wanted something. I almost took her hand thinking it was my boyfriend's but he was right next to me. So the lady and me, my boy, and my friend are all walking forward (the three of us staring out her waving hand). Then, she turns around and her eyes go wide. Her boyfriend comes up behind and shouts in Chinese something akin to, "WHAT ARE YOU GROPING FOR?"

She squeals and starts smacking him and the three of us were quietly laughing then falling all over each other, giggling.

a while back i saw this eskimo guy[he looked like that big mole dude from the disney cartoon Atlantis], anyways he had on what loooked like every piece of clothing he owned including a huge eskimo type jacket and this was during the SUMMER. he's even got goggles on and a big travel bag. i was riding the bus and i look over at this guy, and he's sitting sideways in his seat staring at nothing and he was doing something with his hands that looked like sign language or something. iono wat was up with that guy, but i came to the conclusion that he was nuts
