Today at work something common yet still funny happened. As I was wrapping up for work, a parent picked up the last kid in the tutoring center. She was talking with the director about his essays, when in the middle of the conversation, she shouted at the top of her lungs, “THE CART IS ROLLING AWAY!” and bolted out the door. :dubious:
Apparently she had a shopping cart full of groceries outside, that had decided to roll away. She caught it before it struck any moving vehicles, but it gave me a bit of a chuckle. I had a similar thing happen, talking on a cell phone. That cart almost got away.
I swear a loaded shopping cart is almost as bad as a little kid when it comes to taking your eyes off it for a second. Look in the other direction, look back, and that sucker is gone!
Actually, my first thought was the laxative commercial that features a librarian with cramps and the runaway book cart rolling off and slamming into the stacks.
I still remember one time my mom was on the phone with the community college asking them something about something and she had to exclaim in the middle of it “There’s a centipede in my sink!” Now, you think that’s overkill for one of the regular caterpillar-type many-legged things, but this was one of the huge muthas with long spiny things and it was emerging from the kitchen sink drain!
