I worked at Friendly’s last summer, and had the pleasure of working with some funny cooks, Terry and Mark. Mark and Terry were having a great time picking on the new guy, who was just out to please everybody. Anyway, Mark and Terry shouted for help, quick, because things were getting busy…Tommy came running, willing to do anything in a time of crisis. Terry told him to drop everything he was preparing and quick, get the broccoli peeler..it should have been hanging with the other utensils. It was the one with a green handle. When Tommy didn’t see it, he returned to Terry who said that it must be upstairs with the other seldomly used utensils. Tommy climbed up into the attic, and Mark instructed him to look in the boxes next to the skylight bulbs. When he couldn’t find a green handled utensil in any of the boxes, he gave up and returned to Terry again. Terry told him to never mind, just go get the keys to the parking lot and help Mark outside. Tommy willingly headed out the backdoor, stopping in the office to ask the me for the keys to the parking lot. I gave him an odd look, while Mark and Terry were standing behind him and laughing.

For those readers of your page as stupid (or gullible) as Tommy, here’s some clarification:

Who needs to peel broccoli?

Why would a skylight (a hole in the roof) need bulbs?

What do you need with keys to the parking lot?

Well this person is known for many stupid events. He use to work at an amusement park in California called Six Flags Magic Mountain, he was an ride operator. The person was called Ishmael, and one great instance happen when, someone reported a trash can fire, Ishmael grabbed the fire extinguisher and pulled the pin out and threw the whole extinguisher in the trash can, hoping to cause a grenade effect. Another time was he was to report to the ride at a certain time, well the employees have their own access to the ride, but Ishmael waited with the people in line for the ride, which was over an hour long, showing up to work an hour late. And the classic came when he worked at the observation deck, Sky Tower. He was working the elevator taking people up and down all day. When the tower closes, the operator can remotely dispatch the elevators to the top of the tower, from the ground, They do this so water won’t seep in. So Ishmael got a call, that said the park was closed, so he proceeded to dispatch the elevators to the top of the tower, to sit the night, he turned off the power and left. But Ishmael forgot one thing, there were still guest on the observations deck at the top of the tower. They didn’t know that the tower was closing and Until they notice that the park was emptied. After an hour or so they found a park phone and reached someone and told them they were stranded in the tower. A mechanic answered the call and released the guest.

A nice but easily flustered older lady in our office one day believed she had locked her keys in her car. Befuddled, she recruited the building’s security guard to help her. While the security guard looked at the driver’s side front door and considered what to do, the lady realized the back door on the driver’s side was still unlocked. “That’s not supposed to be unlocked!” she exclaimed. In a flash she opened the door, pushed in the lock and slammed the door before the security guard could interrupt. Truly a true story.

A new driver in a private ambulance company was sent out to the ambulance to go get a ‘fallopian tube’ for the medics. He came back half an hour later to tell them that he had gone through the whole rig, and couldn’t find one.
