The guy that did a face first slide across the urinal trough at Wrigley FieldΒ
Somebody tried to throw something at me out of a rolled up car window, twice.
You see those street takeover videos where someone, sometimes multiple someones, inevitably get run over
Try to open a plastic wrapped package of fireworks in a living room by burning the plastic off with his lighter.
I was in a park in RI and saw a man take tree bark off a tree, smell it, put it in his mouth, then he started dancing around near these kids and then he proceeded to choke a little on the bark and someone gave him the heimlich to get the bark out. He was fine after, but needless to say it was a messy situation.
I once saw someone try to “test” if the wet paint sign was real by pressing their entire hand against a freshly painted wall. Spoiler: It was real.
He stopped at a stop sign with two lanes for each direction. He hits his bowl of weed and while hitting it looks out the window and a cop was pulled up right next to him looking at him. Got arrested, probation, yada yada. Few months go by. Does the EXACT same thing, rolls up to stop sign and hits the bowl. SAME COP rolled up next to him and sees him again!
At a gas station, the guy’s gas tank hatch/door was on his left side, but he parked with the pump on his right side. When I pulled into the gas station, he was already struggling to get the hose to reach the left side. After 2 minutes of strugging (which IMO is already 2 minutes too long), he finally got in his car. “Finally, he’s going to turn his car around” I thought. Nope. He just got in to try and inch his car closer to the pump.
My friend tried to flag down the train, like you do a cab.
I was parked at a fast food place a few months ago. Guy a few parking spots over apparently locked his keys in his truck. He didnβt try to call a locksmith or roadside assistance. Didnβt ask anyone if they had anything he might be able to use. He just picked up a hammer from the truck bed and smashed his back window out. Glass everywhere. I was stunned.Β
I saw a homeless guy beating it in the elevator of the building i live.. He was really putting energy when it opened the door.
Somebody attempted to put gas in their Tesla. I kid you not that person was stumped and confused but undecided between the two.
I went to shake a glass bottle of ketchup at a restaurant on my sister’s birthday to get it flowing….turns out the cap wasn’t on tight
Ketchup everywhere, over everyone within several tables/booths. Like the entire bottle’s worth. I don’t even understand the physics of how spread out it was
Silence for a good 10 seconds which felt like an eternity
Some guy who had ketchup on his bald head broke the silence with a ‘WHAT THE FUCK!’
I was 15, didn’t know what to do, said sorry to the collective and ran out
I watched my Mom, jump and try to press the β¬οΈ light above an elevator, and then complained why someone would put the buttons so high up.
Run into a wall of glass
I’m 63yo. I spent 20 years involved in car racing, and I’ve been riding a Harley for the 30 past years. I’ve seen shit.
But….. Probably the dumbest thing I’ve seen, and I was actually involved in this, back in 1979, was a guy standing on a NASCAR plastic refueling tank, smoking a cigarette. Oh. Yeah. It was leaking a bit, too. I asked him to put out the cig. He looked at me, realized that I was track, not NASCAR, and told me to go away. So I found a NASCAR official, and told him. I thought he was going to crap his pants. He marched over, made the guy put out the cig and FIX the gas tank, even though (he claimed) it wasn’t is.
If the tank had gone up, I doubt we’d have been able to ID the guys remains. 26 gallons of high octane fuel going “boom” would have made a hell of a mess.
I once saw a guy try to jump over a fire hydrant and completely miss, resulting in a face plant on the pavement. It was equal parts hilarious and painful to witness.
After my GCSEβs one of my friends used a lighter and spray deodorant to make a makeshift flamethrower he used to burn our English books in the middle of a wooded park. That was pretty stupid.
Saw a guy pick up dog shit with his bare hands, sniff it and then threw it like a baseball at first bicyclist that passed by him
Saw someone at the gas pump just glued to the screen that says the dollar and volume amounts. He was very quickly and lightly squeezing the handle as if to get the gas to round out to an even number on either value. Problem was the tank was full so every time he squeezed gas would shoot out of the hole and onto his hand and down his pants leg. Standing in a puddle of gas so his socks and shoes had to be soaked too. I was in middle school so my dad was there and he ran up to the guy to tell him and he just acted like nothing happened, The guy just responded with “oh man I knew something wasn’t right” put the handle on the holder and jumped in his car and drove off. Gas station guy had to clean it. Wonder if that guy blew up on the way home.
My Mother in laws ex boyfriend faked a heart attack in Ryanβs steakhouse to get a laugh. He fell in the floor and started twitching. None of us were laughing. It was probably the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me. People all around were genuinely concerned and once he got up and started laughing I wish I could forget the looks on those peoples faces.
Saw a guy in my neighborhood in front of his house at night with a flashlight stepping on cockroaches in the street, he would kill them one by one and pick up the dead ones with his bare fingers and place them into his trash bin. He didn’t even leave the lid open on the trash can, he fully opened it and fully closed it between each kill.
I’ve seen at least three different people in my life open a glass sliding door only to walk full force into a mesh screen door.Β
I was at the shooting range with my husband. Usually, we’d go on Tuesday or Wednesdays when the range was pretty quiet and only the more experienced folks were there. However, one day, we decided to go on a Saturday – BIG MISTAKE. It’s a bunch of young guys showing off with their new “toys” that they barely know how to use safely.
Long story somewhat shorter, a young guy had a hang fire. He takes the gun, turns and turns it toward his face so he can look down the barrel, I guess to see what was wrong. OMG. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a range safety officer move so fast in my life. He basically pushed the gun barrel down range and helped the guy get things settled with the gun. He was WAY nicer to this guy than I would have been.
Once we saw that, my husband and I packed it up, went home and NEVER went there on a weekend again.
This is very minor if I’m being honest with where I live, but, today I watched a very heavy woman walk naked down the main road in my town. Fire department showed up and basically just walked with her until police came. It was hilarious. Watching 5 fire fighters stroll down the street with this huge naked woman…it’s what makes the work day go for me
Sitting outside the local having my morning joe. Out she comes, thigh high leather boots, white jeans and the tan fur bomber jacket. Nails, makeup, hair all on point and she’s watching the world through her Raybans. Looked good, ngl. Two of the big coffee cups, one in each hand and she stands on the curb waiting her ride. Up comes the car, her friend is driving. She puts the coffees on the roof so she can work the door without busting a nail, they both have a word and a giggle as she climbs in, closes the door and drops the window. Her friend starts to drive away, both cups go over and a bunch goes in the window. Much yelling and screaming, car stops, girl climbs out through raining coffee leftovers, jacket matted, pants a lovely caramel colour and some must have gone in her boots. She stood there yelling at her friend for not saying anything. A lovely day, as I recall.
