I think I might be losing my touch at taking pictures of stupid things. Yesterday I saw two completely stupid things and it didn’t dawn on me to snap pictures until we were much farther down the road.

The first was a guy with a dump truck and a backhoe in tow that got stuck under a bridge. Traffic was ALL messed up because this guy didn’t think that his backhoe might not have fit under the low underpass. They tried lowering the backhoe, tried moving it off the trailer…no avail, we sat there for a good half hour in traffic while cars tried to swerve around them and they blocked the lane to get unstuck. Those clearance signs on the bridges are there for a reason!

The second was a guy on a bicycle (I have a thing against people who ride bicycles in stupid/dangerous places) going the WRONG way on a one way highway exit. Definitely illegal, and definitely not smart.

But I must be losing my touch. I don’t have any pictures to share with you today. Just stories of people doing dumb things that I saw, but wasn’t fast enough to snap the picture.

Last night we were eating out at one of our favorite Chinese Restaurants when the funniest thing happened to the lady at the table beside us.

I couldn’t react fast enough to snap a picture (we were laughing WAY too hard) but will try to recreate what happened here through pictures.

Here is what the restaurant looks like:

She was sitting at the round table, we were at the booth directly next to them.

The waiter came out with their food…and dropped her ENTIRE MEAL right into her purse that was sitting on the floor!

So imagine something looking like this:

All over and inside this:

That poor lady…it was so funny…and of course he was apologizing up and down and trying to get everything out of the purse…everything was covered in garlic shrimp & rice & veggies!

The people at the table were so mad, which made me feel bad for the waiter. I understand accidents happen. It probably didn’t help matters though that we couldn’t stop laughing about it!

It’s not often I visit the mall, maybe about once every few years. Crocs, those shoes that everybody swears “are soooooooooo comfortable!” still look, well, pretty ugly. But the point of this post is not to showcase these ugly shoes, but the fifty million kiosks selling them in one location:

Upon visiting the mall, it seems they no longer sell anything except crocs. Maybe they do in those other stores, but you have to trip over a kiosk selling crocs every 10 feet to find anything else.

Are we as consumers this stupid that we even if we do want to buy these stupid crocs that we need them every 10 feet to find them?

I was digging through some photos and forgot about this one I took down at Virgina Beach:

Apparently the sign is no joke - they fine you if they catch you swearing. Are they that uptight? Or just desperate for money?

Today’s Best of Stupid Award goes to the guy driving his Ford F150 who somehow managed to drive right over the hood of my brother’s PARKED Saturn. That’s right - he ran right over the hood of a parked car!

Here’s a picture of his car after they got the FI50 off of it:

Not surprisingly the driver of the F150 was taken into police custody for drunk driving.
