I’ll just say this: he kicked a gate thinking nobody was home and ended up getting scolded and fined
Looked down the barrel of a loaded gun, then flagged the range master.
“Excuse me sir, I’m too stupid to be on this range. May I leave?”
I had never seen someone ejected so quickly and angrily, it was quite entertaining.
It took me a second because I temporarily forgot flagged was the term for pointing a gun at someone so initially in my head this guy looked down the barrel then waved at the range master to get their attention.

I imagine with our current medical technology, patients could be given an ultrasound or something to determine what is in their stomach and intestines before surgery, but I see why it would be less expensive and more straightforward to simply trust the patient and ask them. It’s their own life on the line after all. But maybe some patients don’t fully understand the dangers of having food in their digestive system when going under anesthesia.

Went to pour himself a glass of filtered water, but wasn’t sure which side of the tap was for hot water. He didn’t want to accidentally pour a glass of boiling water - so he put his hand in it to see if it was scalding hot. It was.
Pulled his pants down below his butt because it was ‘fashionable’ at the time but accidentally pulled his underwear down also. So he was just standing there, in the main hallway of our highschool talking with his friends, mooning everyone behind him.
The class assignment was for each student to hook up their laptop to network equipment and run some diagnostics. I could see my classmate was having issues so after a few minutes I walked over to investigate. I advised him the usb cable will never fit in the ethernet port and that he should try the other ‘hole’ instead.

Shows how much you know, they usually fit just fine, albeit not connected to anything
This was back at my home dropzone. The DZ owner actually owned the entire airport and the land it sat on. To help offset the cost he rented out the parts of the property to local farmers to grow crops. That year there was corn, really really tall corn as it was a wet year that bordered the north side of the landing area.
Not a big deal as the landing area was very large. Well, one of the local Skygods (idiot that thinks they’re cool, but they’re just an idiot and has an attitude about it) thought that it would be fun to do a hook turn in to the corn…
For those of you that have been in corn fields, yes you are guessing correctly on what happened next.
You see, do such a low and aggressive turn under a parachute generates a LOT of speed and he generated that speed… So he goes out over the corn, hooks the parachute dives into the corn. Those of us watching were highly entertained seeing a parachute traveling just above the tassels of the corn at a high rate of speed for an impressive distance. The guy burst out of the corn field onto the landing area rolling head over heels and came to a stop in a quivering lump.
He had multiple lacerations, contusions, and his gear was in such bad shape he had to send it back to the respective manufacturers for repair.
He never jumped there again and I’m not sure he ever went back to skydiving. Probably for the best.
Saw a low speed car crash while i ate. So what do they do after they hit the side of a minivan hard enough to leave a hefty dent? Then they Switch drivers in their highly identifiable, heavily decorated car, and drive off. All of this in a highly visible part of a parking lot, under camera, in front of a dozen people.

I had a fight with a dude who stood next to his car and threw an empty vodka bottle in the bushes, across the street of a kindergarten and with the bushes being in a private house area. It was morning. I am still baffled that he somehow assumed he is in the right because he forgot his keys. Eventually his girlfriend came, equally aggressive towards me, and picked it up. I am to this day scared of running into them at night but man, wtf what excuse to litter in your own hood is this. Forgot your keys my ass.
My mom cried in court for a civil lawsuit to “try and win the judge’s sympathy” after the judge had already made a decision that she doesn’t like.
Like it was literally coincidentally the same day as my birthday¹ when that court day happened (¹at least I think so… I went with her to court several times and its hard to keep track of so thise memories might have blended together), like okay WTF mom. What the fuck are you doing? Literally, the judge already moved on to the next case, shut your crying ass, you’re the adult and I’m your child, stop embarassing me.
Literally not even in the courtroom anymore, she cried in front of some court staff, not even the judge.
This isn’t China anymore where people could bribe officials and/or sweet talk them or gain an advantage when you befriend an official, this is is America, she has like a very warped worldview on how thing work. Like wtf how is crying gonna change a judges decisions?
(And no we are not part of the 1% so that stuff doesn’t work either)
I confronted her about it later and she just scolded me and say “that what people do all the time to gain sympathy”…
🤨
She brought me there to help translate since the doesn’t trust the interpreters capabilities, but since I didn’t even have much of a chance to speak, so I was like "hey remember that time when it was my fucking birthday and you told me to do your stupid courtroom bullshit, and my mom was like: “so what it wasyour birthday, I did all the work giving birth to you on your day of birth, all you did was be born”
(Before anyone says go “no contact”, she also had her good moments so I can’t exactly just let go, too emotionally attached)
I have a technical job that sometimes deals with emergency response. I showed up to a building and needed to get in the mechanical room and the building manager couldn’t find the keys so I was trying to pick the lock but a firefighter pushed me out of the way and kicked the metal door with the metal frame as hard as he could. The door remained unaffected but the firefighter definitely injured himself and limped away trying to play it off and then his buddy started axing through the wall and said I hit something and I looked and said “that’s the 480 volt disconnect”. I successfully picked the door and handled to issue without further drama. Pro tip. Firefighters are great at handling fires but they’re not good at handling situations that deal with electronics or anything technical in fact they make the situation much much more dangerous
