Tell us something funny that you saw happen…

Today I was driving on a busy road and a mailman was in-front of me. He was stopping and putting mail in all the boxes. He suddenly ran over someone’s mailbox.

We both stopped, I asked him if he was ok. He said F-it and ran over the box and moved on to the next house.

LOL, good one!

A few years ago I had a package to send. I went to the post office and it was totally empty. I went to the window marked packages and the lady behind the counter told me to take a number and wait my turn.

I was dumbfounded, looked around and shrug my shoulders. She just stared at me, so I took a number and just stood there. Thirty seconds later the number popped up on the display and was served by the same lady. It was still empty when I left, but her stare was even emptier.

It reminded me of the airport scene in The Fockers.

That is funny! Like waiting at a meat counter with number 1 and no one else is in line but they make you wait! Lol

Years ago I was driving to work, and this little white mechanical arsehole pulled right up on my back bumper. 2 lane road, traffic both ways... dude is laying on his horn, flipping me off... there was no where I could go; I was following another car, and we were running a bit above the speed limit. This went on for about two miles.

The road opens to four lanes a half mile from an intersection. He passed me, flipped me off... and got stuck at the red light. The car in front of me turned off, so I was sitting next to him at the light... and dude is still on an expletive filled tirade.

The light turned green, and he stomped his gas pedal... you know, to prove his point... all 4 cylinders screaming...

Well, you know that noise a vacuum cleaner makes, when it sucks a fringed throw-rug into the rollers? Yeah, with smoke billowing from under the hood. Dead in the water.

I smiled and gave him two thumbs up... seemed more insulting than flipping him off.

The look on the owners face at work when I demanded a 30% pay cut so I could continue to work full time and collect SS with no penalty. Priceless. Of course I retired 6 months later when Covid started and he did the same thing.

This is more schadenfreudian but wait for it...

I try make it short. Running small apple orchard on slope of hill but on a little platform with a small pond and an ancient ice cellar. Dry weather, guy has apple orchard above mine. Fresh planted trees, he got the town to allow him take water from the pond, because they own the water rights.

But no pumps, only by hand carrying. It's a natural protection zone, can't even mow with machines. So bucket it is, and the slope is very steep. We both meet, and he's a smartass again because I asked him kindly to walk one way and not trample all over the place through the wildflowers that I let grow there, for the bees. I also caught him collecting apples from my orchard via wildlife camera and strolling through the orchard, taking his knife to branches to check the fluids and #, nothing of his concern. He's just a smartass intervening with everyone...

Okay so now.. His trample path get's wet from all the water he spilled and I observe him struggling and falling a few times, cussing. I shouted to him, if he can't handle the bucket, maybe try a hose? Copying his smartass tone. He replied pumps are not allowed. I asked him if he ever used gravity feed technique.

He dropped the bucks, came to me and listened explaining while I was in the tree cutting branches, that there is a way to make hoses suck water themselves via gravity. Of course this only works if the pond is above the end of the hose. He looked at me angry and asked if I want to make fun of him (I was).

I looked at him and said nothing, just looked at him with a brow raised (not sure he could see that) and silence. And then his confidence left slowly until he asked "Does that really work up the hill too?" And I was like "Hey, you ask me this question? You run an apple orchard, you should know about this. Trees do it too." but omiting the obvious.

His face lights up and he hassles away up the hill, where the road is, and came back soon with a hose, threw it into the pond and then tried to drag the filled hose up the hill, both ends in his hand. He finally made it up there and then he was standing there, with both ends of the hoses, dirty, wet and exhausted.

The look on his face lol.

Saw a large woman, purple hair, ribbons, eye shadow, clothes, fish nets...walking 4 lg dogs(apparently bros n sis)...on ROLLER BLADES...into the park restroom...

Later her 200lb frame came wobbling, rollin' , weaving with the 4 dogs dragging her...we jumped out her way.

Nothing unusual these days but her immensity and her wobbling left n right "Woah..woo....woah! Oops! Woaaaah!" and for sure on a death course...was pretty humorous.

Like a large purple Grape....

Homeless guy handed a storage bin. It is basically a big rectangle bucket with a lid. If you look around, there were several flipped upside down. That is because the lid is not strong enough to support the weight of a grown ass man sitting on top of it and it folds (i.e., collapses in).

So, this bearded, wild haired, white guy, in the homeless shelter, gets his storage bins (they get two) and places one at the end of his cot. Lid side up. The other is being filled with his stuff but after a time he decides to roll a cigarette.

I watch as he stands up, gets his tobacco, sits down on the storage bin lid, and begins to roll a cigarette on his belly. He gets a pinch of tobacco onto the rolling paper, and the lid collapses inward!

So, harry guy, tobacco all over the place, ass stuck in a plastic storage bin like a turtle stuck on his back!! A look of shock shoot across his face.

I am trying my damnedest to not start laughing! I am not too far away and see the whole thing.

He struggles and gets up. Inspects the storage bin. Notices his tobacco strewn around the bin. Flips the lid around a few times. Sees more tobacco on his shirt. He looks at the inert object of his ire and howls at it with a look of ire and frustration! "AHHHHHH!!!!" Finds an envelope and begins to gather his erstwhile pile of tobacco spread like wood chips around freshly mowed lawn.

I have to get up and leave. I leave the area and when I can hold back no more, I let out a belly laugh!!

Nobody else saw anything! He never bothered to try turn the storage bin upside down to sit on. The image is burned into my memory. Wish I could download the scene to share because it is classic!!

Lol D, now it’s burned in my head too! Haha

There was a man with a flat tire in front of an insane asylum.
He was changing the flat and had lost the lugnuts.
one of the people inside was watching him through the gate.
He told the guy with the flat why don't you take a nut from each of the other wheels
and put on the spare until you get to a service station.
Guy with the Flt says what are you doing in there that's pretty smart.
Guy behind the Fence says i'm Crazy not Stupid.

Lol, so funny!!!

Many Months ago--
i wrote about how, i was going to my Son's Concert at his school,,
on a rainy night,, and i saw a young woman standing by the light,
, just off the Freeway, Her head was WET, But held high,,
so i felt compelled to give her a dollar..
As i Awkwardly handed her the bill, I asked, "can i get a Receipt?" ..
and She Laughed HARD..
It felt nice to give her a Laugh - as well as a buck..
Tonight, I went to my son's Concert, and as i got off the freeway,,
i saw the same Woman! She was getting some cash,
from the car right ahead of me, and as she was handed a bill,,,
she pulled something from her coat pocket and showed it to the driver,,
and I saw her laughing!
Well,, i had a small supply of change, handy in my console,
so i made a Grip of Quarters and rolled down my window..
She came over- and as i handed her the change she pulled a small book from her pocket, and asked me if i wanted a receipt!!
I laughed HARD!!
IT really hit me, on the way home.. Sometimes what we give each other, from our hearts Far Exceeds anything, we give from our wallets ..
she was passing on my little "joke" and getting Laughs from Every contributor..
On a world with 7 billion people, i know, I'm just One simple man.. BUT
I saw it with my own two Eyes --- i touched somebody's soul...
I LOVE being in my Skin,, in this Place,, in this Time..
Some days much More,, then others...

You know, a life long musician, I once had white hair ..at 20....it was just "whoosh-woah"...on a collision course flying past.

I thought one of California Raisins flew by...thing to ponder? How did she use the toilet, holding onto to 4 leashes while on rollerblades?

Hahahaha 🤣💥🤣🤣🤣

A young, scruffy looking couple were at the bus stop and approached a clean-looking working class man to ask if he had a cigarette they could bum.

He said "Do I look like I'm stupid enough to smoke'? To which the scruffy guy replied indignantly "Do I look stupid to you?"

Response from working man: "Do you smoke?"

Reply from scruffy: "Well, yes".

Last word from working man: "There you go".

Made my day.
