OMG! I am glad I was a Boy Scout and grew up in a home without too much luxury. Ok, today I did something I almost never do, went to Wally World. I had to pick up some pics my Mom had dropped off, and a frame for a friend of ours. I was dressed in my shop clothes, you know, old combat boots, jeans with some stains, white tee shirt with a few more stains, and a scruffy Yuengling baseball cap.
So after the purchase, I am ready to walk out the side entrance. There are two young couples staring at the door. I asked if any of them had a problem, the dark haired male replied, the door does not open. I walked over, pushed the door, and walked outside. They gasped, "oh, it's a manual door!"

Ok I get to my car and am getting in. There is a teenage girl beside me, her car was locked, and she could not unlock it. I asked if she needed any help. She said her Key Fob did not work, she pushed the button but the car would not unlock, what could I do? So I took her keys, manually unlocked the door with the car key, and said there you go, have a good day!
I laughed all the way home, just thinking about what would happen if all luxury items failed...

Try Wally World about 10 PM on a Friday night.

Mindless wonders everywhere.

How do I know that? Don't ask.

I was at a restaurant far from home and asked a waitress if she could change the station on the TV in the bar so I could catch the Weather Channel. She said they couldn't change the channel because the remote was missing when she got on her shift.

She looked at me in utter amazement when I pushed the little buttons on the TV to change the channel.

Ohhhh....

Reminds me of that StarTrek episode where Kirk and I think Spock were on Earth in one of their time travels, and when they went to go thru a door they ran smack dab into it and both had a rather perplexed look on their faces.

Our local Wal-Mart has not had a functioning auto door opener on the entrance door for several years, but the exit one works just fine. Turns out the didn't want to spend the repair money on it since they were planning on building a new Super Wal-Mart across the street. Supposed to open in a year or three. I know of five routes to avoid that intersection once they get it built.

When I worked night shift, I used to go to Walmart at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning usually for munchies or smokes, as it was the only place open.

When I lived in Macon, Ga. I was on second shift for a while, and working some big time OT. When I got off of work, the only thing left open was the 24hr Wally World. 3 or 4 am at Walmart is interesting to say the least. The employees were every bit as bad as the customers. Gawd they used to make me laugh.

When I had my bike wreck the hospital had me on a stiff backboard. After hours I went to x-ray to check my neck. The x-ray techs then placed me back on the stiff back board... They could have just moved it so I could have laid on the soft bed. So I asked what the deal was. I was told they were waiting on a nurse to move me. What!!!! I stand up and flip the backboard out into the hallway - then lay back down on the soft bed.

Sorry to say but there you were probably dealing with Unions not stupid people. Though I could start a thread about the ratio of stupid people and Unions but that would open up a whole can of worms.

If those X-ray techs had moved you I am sure a grievance would have been filed.

You guys ain't seen nuthin' till you have to go to the Home Depot in Hollywood, CA at @ 2 AM to get stuff to fix a broken water pipe! (it's open 24 hr.)

Creatures from the underworld - every aisle!

I saw a person (well...it appeared humanoid, anyway) with his head tatooed with scales (GREEN!) and freakin' horns!

I got my parts and beat a hasty retreat.

Hey!! Easy on the X-ray techs Alot of time our hands are tied because of the ER/ED Drs. have to clear spinal films before before collars and pts are removed from stablization devices. It is uncomfortable but for the patients own safety. Oh and I have not been in a Walmart in over 4 years.

We had a 24hr Home Depot just on the edge of Downtown Seattle.

I would go in there late a night (middle of the day for me) and I would always see stoners buying parts to make a bong.

Nothing look suspicious like buying bong parts, and indoor grow operation equipment at 3am.

Because of all the late night theft, they are only open to 10 now. : (

Reminds me of two:

Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor said, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks." The couples agreed and came back at the end of two weeks.
The pastor went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The old man replied, "No problem at all, Pastor." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.
The pastor went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?" The man replied, "The first week was not too bad. The second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but, yes, we made it." "Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor.
The pastor then went to the newlywed couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?" "No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks," the young man replied sadly.
"What happened?" inquired the pastor.
"My wife was reaching for a can of paint on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and took advantage of her right there."
"You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor.
"We know," said the young man, "We're not welcome at Home Depot anymore either."



A young family moved into a house, next to a vacant lot. One day, a construction crew turned up to start building a house on the empty lot.
The young family's 5-year-old daughter naturally took an interest in all the Activity going on next door and spent much of each day observing the workers.

Eventually the construction crew, all of them "gems-in-the-rough, "more or less, adopted her as a kind of project mascot. They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make her feel important. At the end of the first week, they even presented her with a pay envelope containing ten dollars. The little girl took this home to her mother who suggested that she take her ten dollars "pay" she'd received to the bank the next day to start a savings account.

When the girl and her mom got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a young age. The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with a real construction crew building the new house next door to us." "Oh my goodness gracious," said the teller, "and will you be working on the house again this week, too?" The little girl replied, "I will, if those @holes at Home Depot ever deliver the f***in' drywall..."

They had me stand up to get the x-ray. Then had me lay back down on the back board.....

Probably didn't help none that I scared the crap out of a insurance paperpusher. I just crashed a bike - road rash and screwed up my right wrist and left shoulder. This guy come over to the ER bed and wants me to sign some freakin insurance paperwork! I had given them my Military ID --- which is my insurance --. The punk would not leave me alone. Went so far as to wedge the pin in my hand and slide the paperwork on me. I flipped that pin across the ER!

My wife called me on the cell phone at work one day. She got to her work and the car door was locked (she was still in the car). When she pushed the electric lock button the door would not unlock. She was freaking out because she was locked in the car and couldn't get out. I informed her that she could roll down the window and unlock the door from the outside with the key, but if that seemed to hard she could just slide that black and orange thing and then pull the handle to get out.
