i was just beating my head against the wall about the ignorance im surrounded with and was wanting to hear everyone elses blonde stories so i know im not alone.
heres one of my many......
i took the wife to the lumber store 2 weeks ago to buy ladders to hang lights with. we got a very knowledgable clerk and friend of the family to help us find a ladder. i told him i was going 40 feet up n needed a large ladder. he immediately took us to the larger ladders. i picked out a nice big aluminum one and a plastic extension ladder. i told my wife to grap the very long aluminum ladder and i would take the plastic heavier ladder. she picked up the ladder, felt of it and put it down. she said it was too heavy. i was trying to convince her it wasnt when all of the sudden she read the tag on the front and said you jerk this ladder is definitely to heavy. it says right here its a 300lb max load ladder. she said theres no way i can carry 300 lbs. i just stared at the guy helping us and just shook my head in disbelief. i never said a word.
then about 5 minutes ago i was talking with my son about math and careers. he couldnt get the right answer and was always just a few numbers off the correct number. he said im close enough. i told him if he wanted to be an engineer he had to be accurate not close. i said its like hunting. if ur an engineer u hunt with a sniper rifle and shoot dead on everytime. on the other hand if ur the guy thats doing the manual labor u hunt with hand grenades cuz close will get the job done. my sons honest to god response was wow dead ur friends hunt with hand grenades? can i come with you guys next time?
what do u say to stuff like this especially when its an every day occurence? lol
they are good for my daily laugh
though.
anyone else have any good stories?
