Stupid things I've done (can give a good censored one). 

Strange Thanksgiving story that's true.  A friend of mine in Cheyenne, WY was told he could stuff a turkey with popcorn instead of stuffing.


HOWEVER..............He didn't realize that he was supposed to POP the popcorn BEFORE stuffing it in the bird.  Sooo, after a few minutes of cooking, a rumble ensued and blew the oven door and half the turkey off. 

Oh ignorance is bliss

To everyone:

      I work for a large grocery food store chain in the eastern  part of the United States. I thought in my 42 years of life that I have seen and heard all the stupidity you could see, believe there are some down right dumb people. I have in my time done and said some whacked out things. I have a couple that will make you laugh or just scratch your head and go, are you sure? First to make this clear the grocery store chain I work for has gas stations in the parking lots of some of the stores, the store I work at has one of them.

1) A very pretty blonde pulls in to one of 8 pumps I have at the station. She gets out of the car, gets the car ready, puts in her credit card to pay for gas. Then she puts the hose nozzle in the tank of the car and stands there waiting....while I am assisting an elderly couple I hear yahoo, yea you over there. I then turn my attention the blonde and ask her "can I help you?" her reply is yes and I ask"whats the problem?" She looks at me with straight face and goes I stuck the hosey thingy in the car and no gas is coming out. I said"did you press what type of gas and then did you squeeze the nozzle to get to work?" She looks at me for minute and ponders this question then, hold on wait for it.....She says"you have to squeeze it too, I thought you just stuck it in the hole and the gas comes out."

It took everything I had in me not to laugh in her face. Now to set up todays all time laugh or has Mr. Bill Engval would say Here's your sign..

The gas station that I work at sits directly across the street from a small airport. It flies small aircraft, one 7 seater jet. It gives fall foilage tours, boyscouts free rides, also helps the reserve unit in the area land their helicopters. This happened to me in the morning around 7am here on the east coast.

2) This middle aged man stopped to get gas, soda, and was washing his windshield, checking oil no biggy. I am tryng to enjoy the planes land and take off, to me its fascinating. Anyway the gentleman walks up next to me and is watching this plane land  and another take off. He turns to me and says"Is that an airport?" I go nope the store owners thought it would be nice to just decorate the empty field with planes so people pumping gas had something to look at.

I laughed so hard after he left, it just kept me smiling all day. I have another one for you all. It has rained here alot, try 57 inches so and there is only 52 weeks a year. Well, anyway! I had to walk from the gas station to the main store which is about 500ft if not more. When I started the walk it was not raining, by the time I got half way there the clouds opened up and it rained so hard has my grandpa would say it was like a cow peeing on a flat....I got so wet by the time I got to the store I looked like a drowned rat. A male store clerk looked at me goes is it raining outside? I went nope just took shower with my clothes because I was excited about coming to work and couldn't wait to dry off.

I might could tell you a lot of stupid things I've done, but many of them would be confessing my vilest sins.  Not on a web-forum.   ;D

Once I was working with my boss Glenn (a great boss with close to 50 years of experience) on a store in our chain that had been damaged by a tornado.  While he was working with the crew removing merchandise from clothes racks, I was being busy trying to tear down store fixtures.  There was a row of flourescent lights that had fallen partway from the ceiling.  One end was still attached, and the other end was draped over a merchandise display (a gondola, for those of you who know the term).

I had torn down most of it,...the only part left standing was under the fallen light fixture.  I asked Glenn what I should do with the remainder of the gondola.  He said I should leave it alone for a while.  But I had pretty well left it alone until last and it was the only gondola still standing, so I ignored him and nudged the gondola just a few inches to get it out from under the light fixture.  Well, the gondola was not simply 'under the fixture'. it was all that was holding it up.  When it budged, the the whole rest of the row buckled down like a zipper unzipping, flourescent tubes bursting into puffs of dust and glass, aluminum fixture parts coming loose, flying and rattling everwhere, the whole crew working just inches from where it all fell.  Glenn standing there calmly.

I was pretty sheepish going up to him afterwards. 

He said, "I thought you were going to leave that alone."

I joked, "I was going to, but I had a better idea."

I did an awful lot of sweeping after that.

I reckon if we can learn to rejoice with the joyful and mourn with the mournful, we can learn to be ignorant with the ignorant.  We're all just folks, after all.
