What are some of the funniest things you have witnessed or taken part of that were not deliberate?


When I was in college I was at a shopping mall and saw a little girl with no apparent supervision splashing her hand in a godlfish pond/fountain so I brought it to the attention of security to see if there were any little girls reported missing. The guard called it in and within minutes a man dressed in torn up jeans, a leather jacket, nose piercing with a chain to his ear and a red and black liberty spike mohawk came running up to the little girl. He picked her up and said in a concerned voice "There's daddy's baby girl! Mommy and daddy have been looking for you! Do you remember what I told you about scary people?"

I still laugh about that when I remember it.

lol.

nope, my life is a boring blackhole of emptiness :(


I do take great pleasure out of seeing people walk into glass doors however... Even moreso if the door is open.

Friday I was driving through a work zone slowly (like the law says to!) and this guy, this horrible guy was tailgating me, honking, cussing, banging his hands on the dash.....all the way through the work zone, so finally the roadwork was over and we had two lanes again, except we were in a school zone so I didn't speed up.....he's still tailgating me, honking, cussing, flipping me the bird.......the girls are confused "why doesn't he just go around momma?" I'm clueless too, but just after I guess he figured it out and clipped the left of my bumper and sped up and cut me off and stopped......:eek: It was right before where I had to turn so I just stopped too. He flipped me off and then peeled out....so I started slowly accelerating so I could get about a block to the corner where I was turning and I heard sirens. I stopped again and a police officer that had been assigned to the school we were in front of (I assume here) drove by me in the left lane, he smiled and waved, and I did too.

I guess for all that guy's asshole behavior he didn't realize he was road raging in front of an elementary school, in front of a cop.

Fun times.

A couple weeks ago, I was on the Staten Island Ferry obtaining illegal chemicals with which to poison school children (not true), and as the boat is approaching Staten Island a kid holds up his camera and takes a picture.
His father looks at him and says, "What was that?"
The kid explains, "I took a picture of the skyline."
"The skyline of what?"
"Staten Island."
"What? Erase it, now!"
The kid is understandably confused, and asks, "Why?"
"No one wants to see Staten Island. Why do you think we're going to get right back on the boat after it lands?"
The father is right, of course. No one ever wants to see Staten Island, that's why there's a shortcut specifically made so you can arrive and then get back on the boat to Manhattan without waiting around. Still, hearing someone say it out loud was just . . .

On the trip back to Manhattan, there was a pigeon riding the ferry. So I guess even the birds hate Staten Island.

My habits of getting confused between left and right, always doing the wrong thing with doors even when they have PUSH or PULL written on huge letters on them, and of continually forgetting/dropping things or falling over tend to provide much unintentional amusement for others. And yes, I have walked straight into glass doors, and once, for the ulitimate cliche, a lampost when looking in another direction to see if it was safe to cross.
