There's clueless, then there's "how do you remember how to breathe" clueless

In My Humble Opinion

We moved in May. Our moving crew had three guys; the team leader was great and knew everything, the second guy was fine, and the third was … not.

We had a six inch or so step out the front door into the carport. The proper way to roll a hand truck out is forwards, with the hand truck in front of you do that you can guide it down the step gently. If you back out, the thing just drops off the ledge and slams into the ground.

The first time the guy backed out the door, the team lead lectured him and told him the proper procedure. The second time he snapped at him. The third time I caught him before he made it through the door. Fortunately it was all loads of books and office supplies. If it has been my dishes, there would have been a problem.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen “one of those stopper things” (is there an official name for them?) that would prevent you from pulling forward through a parking space. I seem to remember them being far more common. At the risk of hijacking the thread (more than it already is), does anybody know why they used to be used and/or why they aren’t anymore?

63

I’m acquainted with several parking lots in this area that have them gratuitously blocking those who prefer to pull through so we can exit going forward (I HATE backing up, since my 2016 car lacks backup camera).

64

Lol! That’s hilarious!

65

Do not have rv camera.

Do not have as good vision from all three mirrors combined as I do through the windshield.

Such as?

I don’t generally find any noticeable obstructions other than the cars next to me. Backing up, my vision’s obstructed by cars, probably on both sides, until my side windows clear them. Moving forward, I have a complete windshield, plus my side windows will clear the cars ahead of me much sooner.

I don’t know what that means.

I just want to say how much I love this post.

68

Who’s on first?

69

Are you having a stroke?

Oh come on, I’d think one might have to be a little “clueless” not to see how 100% scripted that exchange was.

71

I once saw a graduate student in mathematics pull out a calculator to multiply 75 by 8. When I mentioned this to my wife (no mathematician), she instantly said, “Obviously, 3/4 of 800 is 600.”

72

For the concrete ones, it’s a concrete parking block or stop or bumper.

73

Now that is a mundane question, but apropos for the venue so why do U ask it?

74

You must have secret super powers.

75

When pulling forward: You don’t need all of that, because you have your eyes. Forward visibility is better than rear visibility. Do you drive down the freeway in reverse?

76

How do you proceed moving forward into a
parking space with cars suvs or trucks on both sides. If it’s clear go for it otherwise proceed with caution. IANTA are U?

77

I’m not a TA now, but I used to be, back in grad school. Why do you ask?

78

Used to be?

Weirdest haiku I’ve ever read.

I can’t decide if you’re smoking the GOOD-good, or if I should stay the hell away from whatever you’re on.

I saw it as a take off on the old Burma Shave signs.
