Local woman tempted to bring bag of clothes to work

Local woman considers bringing bag of clothes with her to work because despite checking the weather reports the night before to determine what to wear, the next day the weather was not close to what the forecast called for. The only saving grace the weather folks had was by not calling a major snow storm. The only advice one could go with is be prepared and the only way to do that these days is bringing a bag of clothes to work with you so you can dress for the freezing office, the wind factor outside the building, and the actual weather despite the forecast. In related story, due to weather confusion, people found walking about on streets in weather coma. Man from balcony bewildered as he saw people mill about below with heavy jackets on warm night that in April people would have been wearing shorts.

Co-workers debate over which slutty rehab “Monster” doll to use for a bizarre cubicle tea party

After considering what kind of odd things to put in cubicles to keep people at bay, co-workers debated over which slutty rehab “Monster” doll they’d include for a bizarre tea party along with dolls that have teeth and, who could forget, cross-dressing Ken doll to balance things out. Upon reviewing which slutty rehab doll to include, co-workers agreed the slutty dolls cost more than what they would be worth on the street. Although it looks more like “Look what the cat dragged in the next morning after a rough night" doll it would have been more difficult for marketers to sell it, instead they went with Monster High Doll. Although “Rehab” or “Working the Streets” doll might also have been easy on the tongue, a bit trickier to sell. Note this doll is marketed towards 6-year-olds. Really. That's what it says.

Goth girl in full black get up makes animals feel hot

Goth girl goes for full on all over black get-up on trip to zoo on warm day – wearing black long-sleeved shirt, black skirt, black (sweating just saying it) leggings, and of course black boots. Some of the animals must’ve been thinking, “Ugh! You’re making me hot just looking at you. Can’t you at least wear some black shorts or skip the leggings?”

Witnesses at another zoo tempted to tell husband to "run now!"

Pregnant woman snapped her fingers at a lion to make it "do something". Pregnant woman was annoyed that the lion wasn't taking her on and it continued to laze in the sun, safely behind the fence. Witnesses instantly felt bad for baby’s father and were tempted to tell him to “run now!”, but they were probably too late at this point. Pretty sure nobody would blame him if he did.

Customer at service desk discovers her invisibility shield malfunctioned

While getting served at a check out desk to sign up for cooking classes, other customers seemed to keep moving themselves in front of the woman getting served. Even though the clerk could see the woman she was serving, it seemed that some customers were experiencing some kind of blinded shield in thinking that nobody was in front of the clerk and kept coming in front of the woman while in the midst of the transaction. Apparently the woman’s invisibility button was malfunctioning for those times when she didn’t want to be noticed to times when she needed to be noticed.

Grub master unintentionally prompts woman to be really early for work

Woman in medium-rise apartment building finding that she’s forced to leave for work early due to having similar schedules of departure to that of a man who also lives in the building, who smells like dirt, old cigarettes, and a whiff of sniff, sniff - what is that really? Old Vienna? Colt 45? -- some kind of cheap beer. After trying to leave a few minutes later on a test run to change departure time, woman found that she still ended up sharing the elevator with the grub master. So, after leaving even earlier, woman discovered she was not running into grub master in the elevator and had peaceful morning elevator rides. By not having to share the same elevator also means she won’t be tempted to respond to his out loud comments on his sad life, by responding with something like, “ Hey, try not to smell like dirt, you might get farther. Try showering … with soap even.” In a weird turn of events, the grub master is almost doing woman a favor by smelling like dirt, old cigarettes, and the cheapest beer on the planet because there’s a lesser chance she’ll be late for work by leaving really early to avoid sharing elevator space with him.

Lost driver goes wrong way on corporate driveway; guilty driver pulls over without police prompting

After lost driver enters driveway to a corporate building in the wrong direction, people sitting outside weren’t completely surprised to find out she was lost. Witnesses to the incident discussed that she probably didn't use Google Maps and the fact that she drove up the wrong side of the roadway didn't inspire much hope that she would think to use it or a GPS for that matter. In related driving news, later on the same day, an older man driving a beige sedan must've been feeling guilty about something because when a police cruiser approached closer in the lane beside him, before the cruiser even put the lights on, the man in the sedan stopped the car, got out, and knelt down on the ground with his hands up. Possibility that man in sedan felt guilty for having taught the lost driver how to drive badly.

Local man realizes it's mildly dangerous to make eye contact with others in the city

While at a coffee shop ordering coffee in downtown area, local man who usually enjoys people watching felt he was being stared at. When man looked around, he became victim of receiving death stare.

Meanwhile, in a rural area engineers going door to door to introduce themselves are allowed into strangers homes, even though the people have NO IDEA who they are. Woman who lives at edge of suburbia finds it so weird that someone would actually a) not only answer their door not knowing who's there, but b) to actually let them in too. That's just crazy talk.

Song about payphone prompts memory about an unfortunate payphone moment

New song by Maroon 5 about someone at a payphone prompts memory of two girls overhearing a man screaming at a woman on the other end of the phone, calling her all sorts of 'loving' nicknames like bitch and other loving names after she locked him out of the house. After calling her 'adoring' names and threatening her didn't work, he then resorted to yelling that he loved her. The two girls didn't really believe him. From what the guy was yelling, it sounded like the woman on the other end didn't quite believe him either. Come to think of it, most moments involving payphones don't usually have good outcomes.

Workers get closer to figuring out why rank odors coming from lunchroom

After two weeks of some seriously rank odors coming out of the lunchroom in a corporate building, people who have to sit near the lunch room get a possible clue as to what the source may have been. Apparently someone in the lunchroom didn’t actually bother to read the contents of the book “Cooking with Poo” to find that it’s about cooking with crab and not actually microwaving the bio waste. Colleagues can barely dare to think of what kind of bio smells the person must create on a regular basis eating what he/she does.

Finger puppets just as effective in not solving workflow issues, but more fun

Corporate managers decide to hide inability to answer direct questions by attempting to distract group with making lots of department meetings and “team building functions” that address everything but actual issues posed to them by department members. As it turns out, finger puppets are just as or possibly slightly more effective in not solving workflow issues, but are more entertaining in their ability to not resolve issues. Additionally, finger puppets prefer quicker distraction methods, such as the surprise pop-up at the corner of a cubicle and wiggle distraction.

Local man considers drawback to getting neck tattoo for career change element

After taking a trip out to Eastern Canada and checking out the white "gangstas" hanging out in parking lots of independently owned gas stations, local man considers a change in career to possibly become a gangsta himself. Apart from the change in clothing style to wearing flannel pants in public and having his own hours, the main drawback he considered was how is mother would handle it if he were to get a tattoo on his neck. Or would she expect him to put "Mom" on the neck tattoo? Of course, if he chose to change careers again, it would be awfully hard to hide that tattoo.

Employee working in corporate building considering bringing in own toilet paper

Even though a corporate building completely renovated two bathrooms for one of the companies occupying it with self-flushing toilets, hands-free sinks and soap dispensers, along with super powerful hand dryers, unfortunately the cost seems to have had an effect on the standard of toilet paper being stocked in the bathrooms across the board. Even though the quality of the bathroom has gone up, the toilet paper quality has gone down to mere sandpaper-like cheap paper. Employee wonders if other co-workers may secretly be considering bringing in better quality paper, but don't want to admit the toilet paper is a killer on the butt.

On the way to work, a driver noticed a posting on a sandwich store sign that read “Visa, MasterCard taken here”. Driver imagined the expression on customers faces if sandwich shop was being literal because most shops accept major credit cards, they don't usually take them. Driver decided she wouldn't be using her credit card at that sandwich shop anyway; just something sketchy about the place and wouldn't doubt if they actually DID take credit cards.

Houses on cleaning products TV ads only seem to get patches of clean spots

While watching a TV ad for a cleaning product, viewer realizes those houses never really get full cleaned, they only have patches of cleanliness. Viewer would not want to live in, or even visit for that matter, a house where there are only clean patches; they never seem to actually clean the whole area in those houses riddled with dirt, scum, and all kinds of grease stains. It's really not necessary to leave back the dirt, grease and the like to see that the product cleans it up; it either will or it won't do the job.
