Q: Whats the dumbest thing youve ever seen a local do?
Guangzhou Metro, waiting in line to buy a token. The machine is flashing big bright letters " No bills, coins only" Dude tries a bill, doesnt work, tries again. Im 3 people back watching and waiting for the moron. He gets mad and tries again. I help him. He spends ten minutes looking for coins then screws off. Next lady in line. Tries a damn bill. I couldnt beleive it, like 4 times, she cant figure this out.
I get pissed, say cant you read? Theres huge ass flashing letters right in eye level. No Bills! She screws off.
The lady in front of me..I kid you not. tries a damn bill. I lost my shit. Maybe i could understand if they were playing with their phones like usual but nope, they where all standing there getting mad at the first guy. I cant beleive these people.
2 months ago the highway from guangzhou to shenzhen. trying to take the offramp and change highways... the single lane offramp... Cant. Why? A huge damn truck has decided hes going to drive up the on ramp ....going the wrong way!!!!! Think about this... How is that even possible? How do you go you go the wrong way on a highway off ramp. His lane was a good 600 meters away with the highway baracade blocking him. Did he go on the highway and turn around after missing his exit?
After passing him i went on the highway and it was a good 6 or 7 km till the next exit. He drove against oncoming traffic for 6 km on the G4 major highway then up the single lane offramp into oncoming traffic. What was his plan? There was no way to go! He would have had to do this at least another 10 K..
The good thing was, this was the first time I have ever seen the police do their jobs, man they were pissed.
Anyways, no generalizations. Something you have seen that was so stupid you couldnt even get mad, just laugh and say WTF????
waiting to board a flight within China recently - only foreigner as usual - there was an announcement by the boarding staff.
I of course didn't understand, it being in Chinese so i queued to get on.
I was taken aside by a staff member and told, politely in english that the announcement was for all passengers who had been in-transit to board first.
Fair enough, i thought and stepped aside.
This did not stop other passangers - more than 10 of them - to do exactly what i tried to do, only for them to be told to stand aside.
I thought 'WTF??? they would have understood the announcement to wait for the in-transit passengers to board first. Could they not wait ???'
mike695ca:
hahaha of course they couldnt wait! I feel really bad for chinese airline staff. Flying in China really shocked me the first few times. In my ignorance i thought everyone understood the flight rules, boy was i wrong.
These airline stewardesses are like baby sitters. Turn off your phone please. Put your tray up please. You cant put your chair back during take-off. I once saw an old woman get up to piss right in take off. I mean, the plane was at a 45 degree angle, and shes climbing up to the bathroom. The flight staff lost their shit, but they couldnt do anything cuz they were strapped in. Just scream at her.
I hope those flight ladies are rich.
dom87:
that reminds me of the boarding in germany back to china. you know we have a system of boarding... let the last rows in the plane get on first so they say: passengers from row 80-100 please get ready for boarding all other passengers please wait blabla
and you see all the chinese jumping up immediatly only to get rejected when they have to show their tickets.
WHY do they always have to get on the plane first? it wont fly without them. If written 12 o'clock boarding time on the ticket they queue up at 11:50 already and then have to wait till 12:30 till boarding starts (always late anyways)
mike695ca:
@Dom , i think chinese actually have a problem understanding how time and space works. The truly feel like if they get on the plane first, they win. Even if that means more time in cramped uncomfortable seat. They win.
And when they land, they need to run to the front of the door the second the wheels touch the ground. They just dont seem to have the brain power to think more than 30 seconds in the future. Zero reasoning powers. It has never occured to them that by getting off the plane first that they will in fact be first to the empty luggage waiting area. It never gives luggage untill even the slowest person is off the plane and waiting for 10 minutes. But hey, they win!
Same with driving. Red light comes. now 2 lanes is instantly 4 lanes. Any reasonable person would deduce that 2 lanes driving fast would go alot faster than 4 lanes not driving because they are all fighting to get in. So now instead of 40 cars making the light. 6 can go. ,
This is sooo racist, but they remind me animals. They can only see the scraps of food in front of them with zero care about the next meal.
sorrel:
I think the reason they want to board so fast is because of all the duty-free they buy.
they want to put it in the over-head locker asap.
i usually have only 1 bag to go in, they can have up to 4 or 5
davo:
How about the Chinese parents letting their babies crawl around during the take off?
On a domestic flight, 5 or 6 years ago, a man in his 50s, was sitting on his seat in the airplane while we were waiting for take off, spread the legs a bit, spit on the floor, then went over the spit with his foot spreading and making sure the carpet suck it in.
BTW, the "Only coins" at the MTR catches more people than a net fishing sardines.
mike695ca:
Hahaha i know they do, but thats what makes it incredible! You would have to think that up to 80-90% of people there are regular metro users. So this wouldnt be their first time running into this "only coins" machine. But history or even people right in front of them having trouble, isnt enough to stop them from doing it time and time again
I was traveling in Sichuan, on my way back to Chengdu. It was a mountain road with like 200 meters high cliff on the right. The bus stops, lots of cars stopped on the road. Ok. It's a tough place, rocks fall on the road, land slides happen often, etc. I wait and don't pay attention to what's going on outside, I read my book.
After one hour, all passengers of the bus went outside. There are lots of buses and trucks stopped behind us. I also see that are a lot of buses and trucks stopped on the other lane of the road. I see *LOTS* of people around two cars. Actually, one car on one lane, an other car on the other line. I come closer... Yup those 2 cars scratched each other. The two drivers were yelling at each other since 2 hours, blocking all traffic, on a vital mountain road, the only communication mean for most villages on the way... for a scratch on a car. It went on for one more hour.
mike695ca:
hahaha thats horrible yet not surprising at all. And if you are trapped on a small road like that then you are screwed for hours. All the cars behind you will drive up through the on coming traffic lane to get closer, creating the wall of cars 2 or 3 lanes wide on each side, for a one lane road. I feel for ya.
Scandinavian:
I see this kind of thing almost daily. Of course the duration might not be as long. And of course on days where I stay home I might not see it, although it has happened on the street just down in front. Last time was one of the cleaning ladies from the community who ran her e-scooter into the back of a large sedan, right in front of the entrance gate, so the rent-a-cops gatekeepers could all run and take the side of the guy in the car.
DrMonkey:
This thing was the usual "face contest" thing after a minor car accident... but pushed to an epic scale. You should see, both ways, a good 30 buses loaded of tourists, 50 trucks full of construction materials, debris, fresh concrete, etc (it was in 2009, they were fixing the earthquake devastation) and cars in between. The road was thin and next to a huge cliff. The road was the only link to the civilization for all those towns. It was selfishness and/or carelessness pushed to ridiculous heights. But I was not very good at conveying the scale of the things at play here >_<
Robk:
Yup, exactly why I use a motorcycle.
Chances are I can find a way around this cause it happens very often.
I saw a guy washing his car during a heavy rain storm once. Couldn't help but laugh.
Paulberger:
i saw this too! i asked my friend what they guy was doing. he said people wash their car in the rain to save water.... oh china...
derek:
Have you seen them wash their entire car with the same small basin of dirty water?
Robk:
I have seen it too...
I have also seen... a woman watering her garden during rainfall... many times...
Yeesh... what can you say? lol
i can just say airport, airplane, landing, seatbelts, phones
the rest you know and can make your story. just facepalm
i went to a village one time to look around. there was a school so i went to see inside. the PE teacher was also the english teacher. he couldnt read, write, or speak english. he just pressed play for the students on the tape, and had them repeat. (real young learners) anyhow, one of the books on the desk was a spanish book... i asked him in chinese if he taught this book, and he said the english was too complicated for him, but his students like it...
webdude:
Dang, that was funny! Reminds me of the old Monty Python sketch with the bogus English-Hungarian dictionary.
Hulk:
On the flip side, I went to a village before where an old school teacher taught English. I understood almost everything she said.
so far half the population thinks pressing down on the elevator button means the elevator will come down, rather it means if you would like to go up or down.
Baivab:
and pressing the open/close button many times thinking that it will open/close the door faster
mike695ca:
i dont knorw if this lady was stupid or just freaked out to be alone in the elevator with me. i was going to to the parking lot -2 and a lady got on and instead of pressing what floor she wanted she pressed my -2 button, which of course, turned it off. shes looking at it but not moving, so im like ooookay, i kinda push past her and press it again and light it up again. no joke , she pressed it again, and just stares at the panel, so i say ooookay outloud push past here and press it again so the damn elevator can star. i swear to god the dumb bitch pressed the button and turned it of again. so i say in chinese, fuck, what the hell are you doing? DONT PUSH THE BUTTON. finally she leaves it alone, we go all the way down to -2 and i get out. she doesnt!!! she goes back up! I swear she didnt look retarded at all.
so far half the population thinks pressing down on the elevator button means the elevator will come down, rather it means if you would like to go up or down.
I live in an old building, and the lock of the main (and only) door is an electric one. You get in dialing the right code or using the keys, you get out turning a button.
One Monday morning I was on my way to work and the door was stuck, I couldn't open it turning the button. After waiting 15 minutes, finally comes a man (mid-old Chinese shifu). I can speak Chinese, so I told him to help me to open the door dialing the code or with the keys I was about to give him through the gate. He look at me and told me 'turn the button from inside" and I was like "I am doing it but it's not working". I told him again to dial the code and he repeated to me like 15 times "turn the button, turn the button". At a certain point I shouted at him "I am doing it, nothing happens!!!" and he replied to me " Oooohh, so the door must be broken..." I was like "YOU DON"T SAY?????". He finally dialed the code and nothing again, tried to open it with the keys, still not opening. He called an ayi from outside who OF COURSE told me again "turn the button from inside" . I was almost turning into the Incredible Hulk also because I was late for work... I woke up the neighbor who first called the 119, and after tried to open himself the door with a screwdriver. After a while, he moved something in the lock and the engine worked. I got out and run to the office thinking : "This is a people of IDIOTS" .
ScotsAlan:
Lol. I got locked OUT of my apartment this week. Last week, the wife had a company put a steel outer door on. She gave me a key and checked it, but then my key and her key stopped working after a few days. Turns out they were " installer's keys": designed to work only once so the householder can be assured the door fitter can't come back on the rob. The door guy said the proper keys were in a second sealed packet he gave the wife. But he didn't tell the wife at the time....
I saw a woman with a baby in Carrefour in GuangZhou - the kid need a pee, she tore a bag off the veggie bag roll, had aimed the kids nether regions at the bag - baby in one hand, bag in the other, and encouraged the kid to go for it. 80% of the pee ended up on the ground. When a staff member indicated this was, perhaps questionably behviour she roared at him, and they had the standard Shouting match that follows such a dispute. As they argued she threw the bag under the veggie counter. I dont go there any more.......
royceH:
And the thing is, I know that what you're saying is completely true. Because I live in China. A person from another country, who hasn't lived in China, would have to believe that you were exaggerating. Because, surely, no country could be inhabited by people such as this. Like animalistic behaviour.
And this should be China's shame. But...China has no shame!....And there again lies the rub.
And we live here. Oh man.....I dunno.
Last week the school went away to a local hotel called the Manhuawei, it's a place that has a huge spa area with a large pool and many other smaller ones with varying degrees of hot water and two pools that even have those skin nibbling fish. It's pretty nice there actually and sitting in a 40C pool with jets of water tickling your back and seeing snow caked on the glass dome roof adds to the overall ambience.
Anyway, we foreign teachers get out of one of the pools and there in front of us is an electrical lead running from one side of the place to the edge of the big pool where some guys are doing some maintenance work with an electrical tool.The extension lead is partially submerged in poolside water for its entire length and these bozos are tinkering away at the edge of the pool on the ladder at the edge of the water line!!!!!
I made all kinds of gestures and pointed at my head indicating they were crazy dick heads then we, as a group of foreign teachers, got out of there as quickly as we could. They of course laughed at me wondering what had got into the stupid laowai and honestly, they had no idea of the danger represented by water and electricity and the possibility of a nasty accident occurring.
Ah well. Another day in China!!!
royceH:
Yes, I believe it. And do you know why they laughed at you? Because they are not only complete brainless, incapable of any thought process idiots, but racist to the max bastards as well.
Paulberger:
@royceH they also laughed at him because daqingdevil looks like a happy little fox. i think those facial features are common down under.
In a sauna one day at local, expensive health club, 3 young Chinese guys in there, 2 start spitting, I said WTF !! Their reply (they spoke a little english) was..thats why we were sandals!! No shit! Couldn't believe it.
Walking to my bus stop, its basically a large lane, came across this guy honking his horn in his new black Merc, at the stationary taxi ahead of him.
This idiot, if he raised his eyes a mm would have seen the biggest rubbish removal truck doing their duties!! I mean it was BIG!
There's was no way the taxi could move, so fuckn obvious.
But not to this idiot, just kept honking away...by the way it was 7am morning. Like he gave a fuck, I nearly threw my pack- back at him!
I totally understand your GZ metro feelings. When I was there last spring holiday, I ended up showing the people I was with how to buy tokens and navigate the system. I had been in GZ exactly two days; they were GZ natives, but didn't know the system. WTF? Yes, GZ's system is slightly different from BJ's, where I live and work, so I had to read the instructions the first time I bought a token, but it wasn't hard to figure out.
It's not just China. All over the world you can find people who are too damn lazy to follow the advice, "If all else fails, read the instructions." Check out NotAlwaysRight.com and you'll see what I mean.
BTW, the guys I was with were a professional travel agent, a couple of college students working for him, and a few other college guys - all of whom, one would presume, are literate.
Getting off the CRH at Shenzhen, you come out of a tunnel and onto the main concourse. So loads of people.....
I then nearly go flying as some gimboid has decided to leave his bags and boxes right in the middle of where everyone has to walk, and stands there with a dumb look on his face. Yet about 5 ft away is a metal barrier that he could have happily stacked all his shite against and not be in anyone's way.
Just a matter of common sense and consideration for others, two things severely lacking in China.
Another train situation....waiting for ppl to get off before they get on!
Had one idiot try and get onto the train via the 5" gap between me and one side of the door, when the other 2ft of door space at the otherside was completely free!
I'm 6'4 and about 100 kgs....I kept on going....he had a little bodycheck.
But seriously......why????
mike695ca:
oh that drives me effing crazy when they just stop in mob of people to hang out or talk. Its like they genuinly dont realize there like 1 million people behind them.
I go insane on people when they just stop once they reach the top of an escalator.. Chinese arent very good with these magical machines to begin with. They treat it like a flesh eating machine. But when people get to the top, take exactly one step off and then stop to chat?? Morons.
On the flip side , it gives me a great chance to practice cussin people out in chinese.
Robk:
Hahha... Chinese people do that ALL the time.
Huge masses of walking traffic and they just stop... and are like... "Where should we go?" ... I am sure you can tell by the way they drive... they never pay attention to anything behind them. In the Chinese mind, you watch out for those above or ahead of you (where you wish you were) and don't pay any mind to those below or behind you.
Just the way they are taught through society. Government needs to man up and educate them but I think it prefers them to act like stupid cattle... easier to control.
I reckon I've seen all of the above. And I'm getting tired of it. I am by no means a deep intellectual but I seem to be forever asking why. WHY?
So many actions of the Chinese people really can't be explained rationally. Gees.... I dunno. Could it be that they are so fkn stupid?
No, I know it's not a lack of intelligence. But it is because of a lack of ability to think..to rationalize.
Why are Chinese people so devoid of any normal thought processes, without an understanding of actions and outcomes?....or care of same?
You know the answer.... You, like me, have been given it a thousand times.....NO WHY.
But I tell you what.....it's starting to give me the shits. Maybe I need a break.
I hope you are not teaching English It is saw not seen.
Samsara:
Are you talking about the original post? Other than missing an apostrophe, "youve seen" (present perfect) is grammatically correct. Why not complain about your own sentence missing a full stop?
Baivab:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Grammar%20Nazi
mike695ca:
Thanks for the support peeps!!!!! Hahaha too be honest, my grammar is poop, so when he said that I googled it. Looked ok to me!
mike695ca:
Thanks google!
Saw
“Saw” is the simple past tense form of “see.” It is something that happened in the past and is over and done with. For example, “I saw the movie yesterday.” We know that you’re referring to the past–yesterday, to be exact–and that you’re referring to a particular moment in the past.
Seen
“Seen” is the past participle of “see.” Past participles cannot be used on their own in a sentence; they need what we call an auxiliary, or “helper,” verb. In this case, “seen” would be connected to the “has” words–”has,” “have,” or “had.” The participle verb form connects the past to the present. For example, saying “I have seen the movie yesterday” would be incorrect. The verb form is being used correctly (“have seen”), but the word “yesterday” refers to a specific moment in the past–it does not connect the past to the present, right? So let’s take out “yesterday” and replace it with something else: “I have seen the movie before.” This means that somewhere in the past up through the present, you saw the movie. It could be when you were one year old or yesterday, but you have seen the movie before. Also, please note that “has” follows the same structure, but is used with the third person point of view (he/she).
royceH:
I am teaching English. Well, not now but I will be in an hour or so.
However, I'll take your advice on board and make the correction, as suggested. Thanks Frank.
'I reckon I have saw all of the above...'
There. Much more betterer. Ok Franky? Cranky Franky? Crank crank crank.....28, 29, squirty..... Heheheh.....
Oh, Mike.... jolly fine effort, you. Phaps the next time you're in doubt you might consider asking Frank for advice, rather than having to be googling all over the joint.
mike695ca:
I can always count on you for support Royce. If you werent so damn far Id owe you alot of pints.
royceH:
Come and visit, Mike. The beer's better out here. Not better than anywhere, just better than in Guangdong.
A common occurrence while driving, I often see 4 cars, each going a different direction form a stalemate/standoff in the middle of the intersection, with each car’s rear end blocking the perpendicular car’s forward path. Instead of someone realizing that the only way out of such a predicament is for someone to reverse, the 4 drivers stand firm and insist that they are going to wait for the other car to move. Uh, yeah! Nice one. Is there a Chinese word for collaboration? Apparently everyone forgot it.
I have seen so many acts of complete stupidity, but one comes to mind because it is VERY satisfying.
I am ex-military and as you can guess it is pretty much the complete opposite of China. You must be productive, you must learn prevention (obviously so you don't kill yourself or your group) and so you learn to see things far in advance.
I noticed the lock on our door was getting screwy, and hard to open. I told my wife to hire someone to change it now before we can't open it at all. She didn't and the time came and we couldn't open it (these patterns happen a lot, nearly drive me insane). So we called up a locksmith as an emergency. He came and starts wailing on the lock.
Obviously I am highly annoyed because I told my wife in advance. She tells in the guy in Chinese what we are talking about that I told her to get someone to look at it before this happened but she didn't do it. The guy (that prick) tells her in Chinese that lots of foreigners (like he has experience) always criticize things after a problem occurs but don't do anything to solve it (like we talk out of our asses). I shout at the prick to just do his job while my anger is rising sharply.
He keeps banging on it with a hammer and tools for like 15-20 minutes... with all his might. I could tell because he was sweating like a pig. Our neighbors come out and ask what is going on. We apologize because it is late and the dumb prick keeps telling them that the lock is "niu bi" or amazing and he can't open it.
FINALLY, I push him out of the way. Give the door a full powered front kick and blast it open. He and my wife are just sitting there in amazement. And he basically say "holy crap" in Chinese. I walk in like it is no big thing (like a boss!) and tell my wife to pay the man. I didn't care about the money, I thought of it as a huge insult to him. Like giving him pity money despite of his failure and showing them how "foreigners" can get things done.
That prick is just lucky I didn't front kick him down the stairs. We got another guy to change the lock the next day.
DrMonkey:
He he, reminds me a minor but funny one. The wifi is broken. I call the support guy, who just reset the router box thingy. Nope, still does not work. He says he can't do it. Okay. I check the router's manufacturer, go on the manufacturer website, download the manual for the router. I read the manual, I find out how to check and modify the router's configuration. Luckily, a neighbor use the same router, with unprotected wifi : I just check how it's setup on his router and I use that to setup my router. Bam, problem fixed, although I never done such things before. Sure, those laowai can't fix the actual problems...
Scandinavian:
ah, this reminds me of the fact that our kitchen cabinets, made from high quality laminate, under the sink are slowly getting dissolved because the sink is not properly fitted and water drips. We rent, so I pretty much don't care. My wife has had the conversation with our landlord if she wants to have a guy come and fix it for 50-100rmb or she wants to replace the entire kitchen when we move out. Landlord opts for the second option.
Robk:
@Dr.Monkey - I had something similar like that happen to me too. My wife and I were going to her small village for Spring Festival. I asked her to ask the internet people to set-up wifi there so I could get work done too.
She calls them, and they tell her is "impossible". I told her if internet runs through the phone lines then that "technical rep" is full of shit. I basically just setup the router, plugged in their login info for their internet. And we had wi-fi in like five minutes. A router just takes an internet signal and broadcasts it for wifi. So much for being impossible... I don't know where they hire these people but many of them claim they have a 4 to 6 year university education.
Chinese University education = Western Grade 10 Education (except in Math, that's my opinion.. and that is if you are lucky).
Robk:
Oh and on another occurrence...
My wife cut herself on a broken table. Cut her leg pretty deep. I bandaged it up and told her we should just get the stuff we need from a clinic and I will sew it up because I don't trust the doctors. In the military you get medical training (which I believe to be much BETTER than the nurses and doctors here).
She wouldn't have it and so we went outside to try and catch a cab. It was right when everyone gets off work... so guess what? We couldn't get one. Exactly why I bought a motorcycle... so I got it and took her to the hospital. The doctor sewed her up and after he was done he quickly left. I looked at it and told her it looked like he did a shitty job. She will probably have a very deep scar (what I call a Frankenstein scar). She started to look worried and the nurses assured her it would be okay.
Anyway fast track to today... I was right... again... huge scar due to a bad stitching job. Oh by the way... for some reason it seems like only "doctors" can sew up people and nurses can even do it... hahaha.. And to make matters worse... I spent like 600 yuan on stitches on something that would have costed me 80-100 RMB for the materials and I would have done a better job myself.
But I am the foreigner so I am always wrong no matter what.
masonk:
It's typical, Chinese always feel that if they spend money on going to the hospital instead of a DIY remedy that it's somehow more assuring, money reassures them.. it's crazy
I once had a woman come up to me and just ask me to watch her child. Out of nowhere. It was like my third day in the country too so I spoke NO Chinese. I didn't know what to do, so I shook my head yes and didn't realize she was acutally going around the corner and was gone for like five minutes then came back with a coffee.
The kid was cute, about three years old. She sat there scared out of her wits and looked up and smiled at me once, "Ni hao!" I said trying to put her at ease.
Yeah, stupidiest thing ever, especially in a country of like 40,000 kidnappigns a year.
Samsara:
The first thing I'd think would be SCAM. Why on Earth would a Chinese mother leave her kid with a person she doesn't know and can't communicate with? I would've spent that five minutes being extremely paranoid, though it seems you came out OK.
Samsara:
@Mike
I was walking in the street with one of my employers, and she said "If you have a child, you can't let them out of your sight, because there are a lot of people who will take them. But that's the same in all countries."
And I said "Um, what? No."
If a little kid disappears in Australia, it will be in the news until the case is resolved. In China, child abduction isn't newsworthy.
Scandinavian:
In Scandinavia this would rate as a daily event. People leave their kids in prams outside shops, no fuss, no danger.
Percivile:
Sorry, Mike, I was wrong...estimates are as high as 70,000! http://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2013/sep/19/china-stolen-children
mike695ca:
jeeze louise! Why would anyone steal a kid in China?? Especially a girl! Arent parents in farmer towns just giving kids away if it isnt a boy? You hear all these stories of babies getting thrown away, hell they made special laws to stop all the baby girl killings. Why would a kidnapper risk kidnapping when he could just drive a few hours and be like...hey that daughter.. want me to take her off your hands???
Robk:
I am not surprised. Human trafficking is much higher than people let on.
I heard of cases where tons of kids were taken to Myanmar and the people holding them hostage would call the family and make the kids demand money. They would torture the kids over the phone so the parents would be scared and the send the money right away. They would like the kids go though... if the parents paid... the government offered little to no help...
Kids are abducted mainly to sell in the sex trade, for organs or putting them to work as beggars. The Triads raise them for sex slaves (if girls) and soliders (if boys).
1.4 billion people... means life is cheap and can be sold for less than motorcycle. No joke, I am sure you all see when someone dies and it goes public... the compensation is like 50- 200k and if it is paid then a lot of times the family will drop the charges. In smaller towns, 10-20k or less. It is worse than the media lets on.
Where do I begin , since arriving in China i see almost as much stupid things in one day as a college frat party once a week back home.
The worst thing i say on the highway was a mother holding the baby out the window for him to pee, like WTH!!!!!!
then i have seen other stupid things as well but that one took the cake
the guy walking down the street with no clothes ...... totally oblivious to the people looking at him......myself included.... gawking.... big "dick" and proud I guess .... ...jailhouse bound back home, but I think he just went on his merry way, wherever.
I was in the Childrens Hospital getting my son a school checkup done. We were and the nice normal waiting lobby and one of the babies need to pee, so the father just let the baby pee in the Hospital LOBBY. Sooooo sick, in front of everyone..
But now after years of being here, I know its normal.
mike695ca:
why does no one say anything. i saw a mom make her baby pee in the gz subway. that kid let loose. and as the subway went, the pee started tracing down the car. everyone just moved away. i didnt even spog a dirty look. jesus
Once several years ago I was in my wife's hometown one night, when one of the high voltage wires was sparking, showering sparks to the street below. I saw it from a shirt distance and did not know what the problem was, but the wire did not come loose, it was just sparking like crazy. I saw the scene when the fire department showed up.
I thought that they would shut down the power and fix the problem. Well, they did shut down the power! The dummies shot their hose at it! I saw them aiming it and I went "oh no, oh no, you aren't that dumb are ya?" KABLAM!!! Knocked out power for about a block. I had a good laugh and left.
i would think that the fire department would have learned that uh, electricity and water do not mix or even have a good relationship. Wild have liked to ran to them and tell at them to STOP, and just secure the area. Just dumb and I don't know how no one was hurt or electrocuted.
