people are crazy

[meghasissues]

i've been working at a movie theater over the summer. we get some pretty strange people coming in but the woman tonight tops it. she looked completely normal except for the fact that she was over 30 and had braces. it was the last night that we were showing "skinwalkers" and she was the only person watching that movie. she came out and offered to pay the guy at ticket drop to watch the movie with her cause "empty theaters give me the heebie jeebies" she tried to talk to the manager about it too.

just thought i'd share. that made me laugh my ass off

"How much are the free concerts?"

"Is this the entrance or the exit?"

"I came here to gamble, not to read."

Depending on which security post I am manning at the casino ( neither of which are anywhere near Valet or the Restaurant entrance )
... "Seating for two"
... (throwing carkeys to me ... which I let fall to the floor as we're not allowed to take anything directly from people. ) Go park my car.

all those are things I deal with on any given night.

[Ruestir]

LOL! I can just imagine.

snarky customer tossing his keys at Jak "Go park my car."

Jak watching the keys fall to the floor. "Excuse me sir you seemed to have dropped something, oh and by the way if you don't park your car it will be towed." smiling "Have a good time at the casino."

[Compton]

I am so hanging out next to Jak next time I'm in Vegas.

"Oh look keys. Guess someone didn't want thier car anymore." :dcool:

[Wayne]

I could always find a red vest and "park" the cars.

y'know... this almost sounds reasonable. Provided that this is a horror movie and not a skin flick. ;)

[meghasissues]

it wasn't the fact that it was a horror movie that scared her it was the fact that the theater was empty. she looked through all 14 theaters just to see if there were people to watch a movie with cause she's afraid to watch any movie alone

[Seolta]

Here's one to add:

Girl comes in toward the end of the day--we figure she's 12 or 13--and starts wandering around reference. Reference Assistant goes over and asks if she needs help, and she says she's looking for a book on cuts and gashes, then holds up her right hand. The index finger has a bit of somewhat dirty gauze wrapped around it, and a smear of dried blood is visible on both the index and middle fingers. Cheerfully, she explains that she cut her finger, and she thinks there's a piece missing, so she wanted to look it up. Ref. Assistant recommended a trip to the doctor, and expressed concern that the finger might get infected. "Maybe...Do you think it'll need stitches?"(still WAY too cheerful/excited over the whole thing). We eventually managed to convince her that she needed to go get her grandmother to take her to the doctor, pronto...thinking said grandmother was in the parking lot. So the girl goes outside, hops on a bike, and rides off. We're hoping grandma takes her to get that finger looked at... :-S

Who the *censored* gets cut badly enough to lose a chunk of finger and decides "I'll go to the library and see if they've got a book that'll help."

[Mike Taylor]

An airhead, perhaps?

[garfalk]

maybe she was one of them people that don't feel pain?
or something.

[Seolta]

It's still common sense to at the very least clean the wound so it won't get infected...and when you've already said you're pretty sure there's a chunk missing from your finger, it's generally a good idea to seek some sort of medical attention, and not your local library.

[Mike Taylor]

Definitely an airhead.

[Plunder Down-Under]

Maybe she's phsycic and she doesnt realise its happened yet cause she thinks its a vision of the future!

[Kamn]

Definitely an airhead.

I concur...

[Happy Goth]

I had a great one at the supermarket I used to work in. On sundays we open at 10:30 for browsing and we're not legally allowed to serve till 11. One bloke comes in, past the big sign explaining the opening hours, picks up some veg and goes to the checkout. After discovering he can't be served for another 20mins he complains to the manager saying

"You open too early!"

It's something I never thought I'd hear a customer say.

[Leffy]

... (throwing carkeys to me ... which I let fall to the floor as we're not allowed to take anything directly from people. ) Go park my car.


duuude. i so have to play "Watch My Ride" for you one day lmao. i could SO picture you doing some of the song. they more or less gank the car they're supposed to "watch" after beating up the guy snarky enough to assume he deserves such fine treatment.

[RazorJAK]

i could SO picture you doing some of the song.

Hahahahaha, What are you implying lil one? I am the very model of pacifism.

... *snerk*

Someone in shock? Serious injuries can make the brain do funny things....

[Crazeyal]

uh ...

TRUST ME...

Shock doesn't last past a bike ride!!!

You start physically exerting yourself, it ends BADLY! I've watched people who injured themselves walk around, talk, joke, and then they try to exert themselves. If they don't fall right over, they last until the adreneline spike ends. THEN THEY FALL OVER!

[Big Otis Landfish]

Yes, been there, done that (concussive bike crash, several miles out from the vehicles). The full rip of the adrenaline rush lasted for the first minute or so... the dregs of it lasted to pedal back into town slowly. Then I got a bit lost and had to walk my bike on the sidewalk because I didn't trust my awareness enough to not get hit by a car. And when I got back to the bike shop, everyone asked what took me so long... (um, the part where I was unconscious for a minute after the crash didn't clue y'all in?).

The dratted endorphins lasted long enough to grab an ice cream on the way home (wasn't driving) and pull up to my house (15 k out of town), then the bastards kicked out (PAIN!) and they had to drag my ass back into the hospital to get said concussion checked out/gravel scrubbed out of road rash on elbow.

Yes I was wearing a helmet, but they don't help when you fly through the air and land on your FACE in a pile of rocks. Didn't even knock the visor askew. :rolleyes:

[Plunder Down-Under]

Ouch,at least you werent wearing a cap underneath the helmet, could have scalped yourself

[Big Otis Landfish]

Uhhh, Plunder.... where do you get your fashion tips from? 6-year olds, or fanny pack aficionados?

....cap under a helmet? Seriously.... that's like putting on a condom over your underwear...

[Plunder Down-Under]

I dont do it, I was just pointing out a hypothetical situation could have been worse...

Just trying to be positive

[Big Otis Landfish]

Eh.... positive's fine, but there's plenty that could be worse with mountain biking accidents.

For one, it could happen three days before high school graduation ceremonies (it did; face was in surprisingly good shape). :rolleyes:

But I managed to ride away with no broken bones or permanent damage, so it was OK overall.

[Leffy]

... biking accidents... can usually be avoided if you remember NOT to show off. harli's daddy has 3 pins in his leg from trying to show off for a girl when he was like 11.

remember the girl of interest is only interesting for that moment. don't sacrifice whole chunks of your life over her.

[Kittish]

don't sacrifice whole chunks of your life over her.

Um... so... what about marriage?

[Crazeyal]

Um... so... what about marriage?That's SHARING your life.

Sacrifice only comes to play during clearance days!:dgrin:

Uh oh da wife!!!:d8o:

[Leffy]

marriage usually comes after you've made the attempt to talk and woo to her. not the moment of "heeeeeeeey you're pretty! watch this!"

[Big Otis Landfish]

And some time after that, it's showing off for the kids....

Based on my dad, that doesn't stop just because your kids are in their mid 20's.

probably posted that before... I wish the other vids had turned out better. Meh, still not bad for 55 y.o.

[garfalk]

face plant = ouch.

55 you say?
wow. cannae do that now, mahself.

another example of why people are crazy.

the manager at the theater today thought it would be hilarious to make me think i was fired. i had called in to make sure that the person switching shifts with me hadn't screwed me over. my manager made it seem like he had. he could hear me crying over the phone and trying to tell him that i hadn't done anything wrong and he let it drag out for like five minutes before saying it was a joke. the last thing i heard was "come on meg can't you take a joke"

b@$#&*^!

[Plunder Down-Under]

One of those things seems like its a good joke in your head, doesnt quite work out in reality...

Or he's a jerk

[Ecchi_Kitty]

......oy, not nearly as funny as may have thought..... which is to say, not funny....

The second the person on the recieving end of a joke starts crying its no longer funny. Unless its a psychotic ex.

[garfalk]

you should threaten him.
or quit. unless you need the money.

theater working is better than burger flipping.
