I work in the office for a cable construction company. I just received a call from one of our crews saying that they left a piece of equipment on the side of the road, in the right-of-way, while they went to lunch. When they returned, it wasn't there. They heard the machine running, so they followed the sound. The person who lives in the house at that address go on the machine, drove it around back, and started tearing down old trees and vines and stuff. He said "It was parkedon my property, so I figured I could use it." I really didn't know people were that stupid. One, if a construction company leaves something on your property, that doesn't give you the right to use it. And two, it's the right-of-way, it's not your property. It's amazing how many people don't know that their property line ends before you get to the road and the county owns the rest of it. I thought it was common sense.
Anyone else have funny stories of crazy people they have to deal with at work?
Re: I didn't know people were this stupid
"I did so stop at the stop sign." Um, no you didn't, the wheels never stopped moving.
"I am not parked, officer." Um, yes you are, your car isn't moving......
"You are violating my rights!" Um, which rights are those? You kind of sacrificed those when you decided to drive dunk.
Shall I go on?
Yes, I did go! They turned out pretty good, LO didn't want to roll over during the 2D part (she was face down), then she kept her hands in front of her face for the 3D. But the tech was really sweet and did great! I'm planning on going back and getting it done again, hopefully LO will cooperate this time!
I need that shirt! That's fabulous!
Awesome! I was really thinking about going, but I'm just going to have the tech at my OB do it, I have to get another u/s in 2 weeks anyway, so I'm just going to do it then! Glad they did a good job though, I was wondering since it was a school, but I'm sure the ones they let do it have been there longer. And you can't beat free!
I work with Academy cadets on a daily basis, and I always get "I didn't get your email, so iam late." Well if you didn't get my email, how the hell did you know you had a meeting with me then?
I also got this gem from a male cadet one time who was failing athletics "I can't run any faster because it makes my balls hurt."

My favorite excuse when I found drugs in a guy's pants pocket was "these aren't my pants". Uh-huh. Okay. I, apparently, look that stupid.
Hahahaha! LOVE it!
You know, that's a good question. I guess they left the keys in it. I never said our workers were very bright...
That's what I was thinking too ...
OMG, that is priceless.
lol. thats a good one!
When I was in college, I used to work at an amusement park during the summer. Some of the gems I got while working there:
"When is it going to stop raining?" Uhh, let me get on my direct line to God and get back to you on that one.
"Why is the ride not running?" (This during a thunderstorm,with lightening shooting through the sky) You go ahead and ride the big steel coaster in a lightening storm sir!!
"Does this go upside down?" (As I am standing in front of the ride, with a huge loop visible behind me)
"What time is the 10:00 laser light show?" (We used to tell them 10:30 just for the hell of it)
"How long is the wait?" (Keep in mind, I would be sitting next to a HUGE sign that tells exactly how long the wait is)
But still, my all time favorite has to be the number of people that think 1/4 of an hour is 25 minutes!! I didn't realize that there were 100 minutes in an hour folks...
Its been years since I worked there, but I just can't forgot the idiocy of people!
Obviously the guy is an idiot, but it's pretty funny.
I'm an audiologist and one of my favourite lines - which I've heard more than once- "I need a hearing aid, but I don't want anything in my ear."
DH and I heard those and more when we worked at Cedar Point in college. His favorite one was Where is the raptor... (he was in the food stand directly under that ride!!!!)
