    My favorite is when I have a car in a parking lot, all taped off and ready to spray. I'll be mixing the paint for the bumper of the car I am working on...pouring it into the paint gun. I'll then walk over and start painting the bumper. Then here they come.

    Q. Are you painting the car?

    A. Yes I am.

    Q. Isn't that illegal?

    A. Yes, it is, I am an outlaw. I was going to try robbing banks or holding up liqour stores, but that seemed so 15 minutes ago. I decided to risk fines and imprisonment and slather paint on cars for half of what the body shops do...that's my strategy to get rich quick.

    wha happened?

    I had something similar happen while working in the field years ago. I used to install cell phones in cars. Remember those days. I would do this at the customer's location, home or at the office. Well I would always get the attention of a bored or over zealous security guard. Once while in a large parking garage I was working away and this electric cart with two guards came rushing at me and skidded to a stop. They jumped out and I looked over and just kept working. One looks at the other and states, "Well he's not running, thats a good sign." I retort, "Or maybe I'm just smarter than u are." and continue to work. One asks what I'm doing and I respond that I'm installing a car phone. One of them asks if I had the owners permission. My response? "No, I'm an idiot, because rather than stealing car phones, I waste $1500.00 of my own money installing them into other persons cars without their permission." My coy responses were usually met with blank stares. I would then have them call from my car phone to confirm with the owner of the vehicle that all was well.

    I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the
    lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
    She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional
    and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?"

    You know what? This woman is me. It had been a long day and I was getting ready to leave. I had been up all night with my daughter, who had an ear infection. So, you know, you make fun of people when you don't know the real circumstances.

    I am completely offended that all of you would be like this. I thought this was a place of love and understanding.

    Sorry momz! (Actually I didn't read the one you were talking about before I commented. But you'll have to admit, most of the OTHER ones were quite alarming. What were these people thinking?)

    Here's a funny one by a Beauty contestant. Maybe not much should be expected since it is a "beauty" contest?

    Give the poor girl a break! She was nervous and on the spot and choked. LOL

    My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
    discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier
    multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

    Ok, that is fine. But why not go back in and get a refund and go grab TEN cases and get a 100% discount?
