Parents, quit leaving your kids in the car to run into a store "real quick!" It's never that quick and it's just bad parenting. If you're afraid to wake up the monster, raise your kids better!

[madmonday]

wow, leaving kids in cars is almost as bad as leaving your pet in the car 

hahahaHahahaha

How about your spouse?

[madmonday]

she usually leaves me in the car & rolls up all the windows 

she's a meanie, meanie

[DougNg]

Jody brings a hose that's connected to the exhaust into the car…

You think she's trying to tell me something?

[madmonday]

well as long as she doesn't leave a brick on the gas with the emergency brake on i think the message is clear; she really loves you & just wants you to take a nap & be relaxed when she comes back to the car  ::)

Last time I sat in the car waiting my fiance got hit on my an old guy in a wheel chair.

[DougNg]

Funny story about that:

An old lady hit me with her wheelchair once in a supermarket coming in

I was very graceful about it, apologized for being in her way

She whacked me with her cane and started yelling at me

I grabbed the brake and cranked it as hard as I could

By the time I was done with my shopping, she was still there trying to undo the brake

[thomasnunnally]

Haha, always appreciate a story that draws looks from coworkers as I laugh at my desk!

[DougNg]

I usually am pretty passive and let shit go, but she used a couple racial slurs which really pisses me off

Actually, that explains why nobody tried to help her…just realized that

Reminds me of one time when I was a kid:
Right after my brother was born, when I was about 6, we went to visit my great-grandparents, called Mom and Pop, in typical Southern manner.  Pop had cataracts, but insisted on driving, nonetheless.  My mother made me go with Pop to the convenience store down the road.  We climbed into his big old Ford sedan and drove off.  A few minutes into the trip, Pop started honking and swearing about "all these damn n***ers in the road".  Being 6, I couldn't see very well over the giant dash of the massive POS sedan that he was driving, so I pulled up to look.

Pop was driving on the sidewalk.

Luckily, he was doing about 15mph and both the road and the sidewalk were deserted, but it was a scary assed trip.  In retrospect, that may not have been one of my mother's finest parenting decisions.

People who take themselves too seriously on the internet must really struggle with real life 

I am Megatron, and I come from the internet

I miss you too seul & the rest of the forum loonies.

i tend to check into respond to the random PMs by newbies & folks that are just nice enough to check on me or give me a hint when something my size might be on the sale rail. my kids aren't sure what to do with me paying attention to them instead of staring & laughing at my phone & my wife hasn't even noticed 

[DougNg]

I have someone at my course that doesn't understand that you need to hit power button to get a computer to work

The scariest part is that power buttons are not exclusive to laptops…

[Seul]

You can always just yell at it!..
