I hope you use some common sense when you select pics to post, especially on parking.  I know you’re anxious to get submissions up and have a funny, successful web page, but don’t be in too big of a hurry just to post something.

When one idiot mis parks, then everyone beside him has to park on/over the lines too.  So if he leaves first, everyone else looks bad.  Not really their fault.  (no, you don’t have me on camera yet)

Other than that, pretty funny stuff.  Hope you’re not driving while taking pics. Plenty of idiot parkers and drivers here in the Star City.  Especially those who don’t know how to merge.

Legal? Illegal? I have no idea.

One thing’s for sure, getting stuck behind a damn back hoe for 3 miles absolutely sucks!

Maybe it was because of the BIG RED X I put there.

I was pumping gas the other day when a hear a crunch…  I look over where the noise came from to see a lady had hit the poll that protects the pumps.  I then notice the car that looks like someone side swiped something, backs up and then pulls forward into pump gas. I then glance over at the pump in front of me and the guy pumping is looking over the top and sides of his pump to see whats going on (I’m laughing at this point). The guy looks over at me and says I think the smoke got in her eyes.  Sure enough she’s smoking a cigarette!  After clearing the tears from my eyes from laughter.  I look at the guy and he says “it’s like a crash derby race out here”.  Laughing I agree and bring notice to the side of her car.  By this time the guy opens up his door, looks at me and says “be careful out there”!  I nod and he drives off…

About that time the lady gets out of her car, looks at me and says “My husband did that” as she points to her car.  I wanted to ask her if that made hitting the poll better, but was afraid I would get punched.

Two lessons should be learned here:

1) When getting ready to get gas extinguish ALL smoking materiel BEFORE pulling into the gas station.  For smoke could get in your eyes causing a crash, or and explosion.

2) when observing such things happen make sure the person you are talking about have there windows up so they can’t hear what you are saying!

At this point.. Shouldn’t he have just kept going?  He’s basically already run the red light.
