I laughed because that brought back a memory that had my office laughing at the time.

Back when I was a slim 18 I was walking down the aisle to my desk (we were an open office) and one of the engineers was walking behind me and when I turned in to my desk he turned right with me. He obviously wasn't looking where he was going.

Lol, that is so funny.

This wasn't so much not paying attention as not understanding the law of gravity lol.

My DF in his younger days was top fix-it guy around our house.

My DGF decided to appoint himself as top fix-it guys helper one late fall afternoon and they were on a mission to take the swamp cooler out of the bedroom window on the second floor of our house.

My DF "rigged" up a pulley system to the roof overhang above the swamp cooler to be removed and using a long rope secured the swamp cooler (otherwise known as heavy object ;0))to one end and my DGF on the ground to the other end. (You can see where this is going can't you?)

My DF sat himself upon the bedroom floor, called to my DGF to be ready below and using his feet gently nudged the swamp cooler out the window.

My DGF passed the swamp cooler somewhere in the middle of our two story house lol. He wasn't hurt but he did have to hang there a bit while top fix-it guy figured out how to quit laughing and get him down.

Of course we kids were terribly worried about DGF after we quit rolling around on the ground and came to our senses, one or two of us still get hick-ups when we remember this event happening before our eyes ;0) lol.

I was on my college campus, taking a short cut on the grass between two dorms. I walked between two bushes,smack thru a huge spider web. I started screaming and grasping at the sticky strings, to get them off me. Of course someone I knew saw me and started laughing.

On vacation last week, we stopped at a gas station to use the bathroom. Everywhere else we'd stopped had restrooms indoors, but at this particular place, you had to go inside and get a key to unlook the door--the bathrooms were in a building attached to a car wash.

DH got the Men's key, used the potty, returned the key.

I went in and got the Women's key and used the potty. When I walked out, DH was laughing because I had used the men's bathroom! (Evidently both doors were keyed alike!) When I was returning the key, there was a man walking out of the station with the "Men's" key--headed toward the bathrooms. Another few seconds and he would have walked in on me.

:-)

Which reminds me of one of my Perils.

I stopped at a roadside reststop to potty. I walked into the Men's open stall restroom and it was occupied with several men. I screamed at the top of my lungs. One Guy almost zipped his "business" up. One Man shouted "Wrong Side Lady". I could have died.

Many, many years ago I was in Mexico and started to go into the restroom at a restaurant when 2 guys came out and I crashed into them. They had a good laugh. I figured out what they were saying even though I don't speak Spanish. That is why I couldn't read the signs either.

Every Fall I collect soil sample for the local Farmers Elevator. Most of it is grid sampling. I use a 4 wheeler that is equipped with GPS and an onboard computer. First I map the field by driving around the perimeter. This creates a picture of the field on my screen, next the computer sets up grid points that I drive to and collect samples. There is a continuous readout so as I'm driving across the field I can see the little 4 wheeler icon moving across the screen. Last Fall I was doing a hay field and watching the screen more than I was watching where I was going. At the last second I swerved and barely missed a large hay bale in the field. I quickly looked around to see if anyone was driving by and might have seen me. Nope, I was in the clear.
