A crowd of Zumba ladies kick out a class of little karate kids from room; politicians and uncoordinated coordinator to blame for incident

Politicians having a debate in community centre room started domino effect for karate kids getting boot from their usual room. Uncoordinated coordinator failed to inform Zumba instructor and students ahead of time that room was in use for political debate. Zumba instructor took sound system from debate room leaving politicians without microphone system before heading up to room to kick class of karate kids out of their usual room. It didn’t seem to matter that the politicians didn’t have a microphone system after all; politicians kept talking long after Zumba and karate classes were over. ... and after audience in debate room left.

Another driver seeks honk translator

Another driver found he could have used horn translator during storm. On a dark street with pouring rain, man ahead in Camry kept wandering out of his lane. In an attempt to get Camry driver to stop swerving, driver behind honked resulting in finger flipping from cyclist who assumed he was honked at by driver. Apparently the cyclist would have preferred to get hit by Camry that was edging closer to him. Obviously neither Camry driver nor cyclist were up on their honking translation skills. Driver would have risked the potential annoying "did you mean ....?" fault in honk translator design.

Live, messy demonstration more action-packed than clean, online demonstration

While watching with a bit of internal horror at someone licking the gunk off a bottle's lip and then recapping it, woman recalls viewing how very different (very, very different) an online food demonstration appeared compared with unintentional food demonstration person at work. The online food demonstration didn’t have any food flicking, water splattering, or finger and bottle licking involved like the one she witnessed live in front of her. Despite the feeling of her stomach turning and involuntary need to make stink face, the live demonstration somehow made the online demonstrator almost boring in comparison ... at least briefly.

Impending favor arises again, woman briefly caught in headlights

At a family function, a woman was briefly caught in headlights as impending favor was directed at her and a sibling. Oddly enough, the request arose from an innocent person sitting nearby to suggest the same awful favor to the same woman who saved her liver a few weeks before. With no alcohol in reach, woman looked briefly at sibling and decided the best answer was to say that she had too much TV watching to do. The alternate response would have been to say "these pretzels are making me thirsty" (without any pretzels in sight) and then walk away.

Close seating at entertainment venue felt a bit too intimate

At entertainment venue, seats were so close together it made strangers who sat beside each other feel a bit too cozy and practically intimate. After the show, some people felt as though they may have come close to having a one night stand. Some people walked away feeling like they should have exchanged phone numbers, but knew somehow that the other person wouldn't call anyway; just making them feel cheap and used.

Driver wishes her horn could translate words when honking

After getting cut off by complete moron at an intersection, driver wished her horn could translate the words that uttered out of her mouth. Instead, all moron driver could hear was the not-so-intimidating “beeeeeepp beeeeeeeeeppp!” of a compact car. However, the translation device might only frustrate drivers more by asking "did you mean ....?" and filling it in with something wrong.
Driver who got cut off only suffered temporary cramp in buttock from braking and increased usage of foul language for a few hours thereafter.

Woman decides to send a text to deal with annoying request instead of ruining liver

After two strong drinks, woman has light bulb moment when she figured out how to respond to an annoying request without actually ignoring it or drinking herself to death to deal with pending phone call. Woman realizes the miracles of text messaging was the best way to respond to person who liked using people and getting them to do incredulous favors. Quite frankly, the thought of ruining internal organs wasn’t worth it to deal with the person over the phone. Woman thought to herself this is how texting must have begun. Brilliant stuff! Woman saves her kidney and liver in the end and has one more drink to celebrate.
