Make room for me in your handcart.

It's so hard not laughing at stupid people.

I know that station. There's an elevator 20 feet from that escalator. The strangest part is that she got up and walked away after.

What a moron.

I hope there wasn't a mental health issue because then I woulkd feel bad for laughing.

I saw that on the news last night. I got my handbasket to go to hell in as well. I laughed my ass off (though I felt bad for the guy who tried to help her and fell on her)

Apparently I only post to tell funny stories from work, but here you go:

A couple of summers ago, a guest (I work at a zoo) rented one of our electric scooters to help her get around. We have a water feature - I guess you could call it a moat - that winds through a large chunk of the zoo. The moat is man-made, so it's not very deep - maybe 3 feet at the deepest points. Well this woman apparently was letting her young granddaughter "drive" the scooter and wasn't paying attention, because we got a radio call that she had driven the scooter into the moat.

At the time, I was the only administrator certified in CPR/First Aid, so I had to respond to the call. This poor woman had completely submerged the scooter and she was laying in the moat screaming that she didn't know how to swim and she was going to drown. It took a LOT of convincing to get her to just stand up and walk out of the moat.

I totally laughed. I'm going to hell right alongside you.

How would that EVER be a good idea?
