"Crappy" end to the week

EngstromNK · #1 03-28-2008, 01:08 PM

I just had one of those tough weeks that we all have had. Long days at work. Wife worked four of five evenings. The evening she was home I had to work until 10:30. I coached one other evening and have to coach tonight as well.

I was driving at about 11:00 to check a crew on a jobsite. I have my faithful yellow lab Cody in the back of the minivan where he rides when we are at work. I get nervous when he lets out a little whine. He is usually silent. Since I am only about 1/4 mile to the site I tell him to hold on he will be out in a minute.

Then I heard the noise...

I know what I sound like when I have a "wet fart". At some time in our lives it has to happen but this time I heard it come from my dog. The smells then started to flow from the back of the van to me as I pulled into the driveway.

I hopped out still hopeing that there was only gas but it was not to be. As I opened the rear hatch of the van Cody bolted out and proceded to squat in the yard and blow a$$. Because I was watching him I almost was rained upon by the brown liquid dripping off the rear hatch that was now over my head. I think if the back of the van had been any worse I would have puked. Some how he was lined up with the center of the back hatch when he let loose. What did not stick to the back hatch ran down into the locking mechanism and from there into the carpet where he walked in it and ground it into the rest of the carpet.

The van is now at the shop being detailed. They take you back to work and pick you up when the car is done. It comes in the $165 detailing fee!!!

All four of my kids will be sleeping at my parents house tomorrow night so I will be enjoying many refreshments at the bar.

CY

I knew if I shared it here you guys would see the humor in it.

Obviously my kids had left their Easter candy out. Cody's mess was full of foil wrappers that cover the small chocolate eggs. I could also tell by the peanuts that he had been eating the mini Baby Ruth bars that had been in the baskets.

Fortunately last week I had been using On & Off on my boats hull. I had left a pair of rubber gloves in the van. I went into the house an grabbed a roll of paper towels and a bag to put them in.

After that Cody was running around like had just won the World Series. I think we all know the feeling.

How terrible!

One of my cats did that to me on the way TO the vet, then again on the way home FROM the vet. At the time I had small children and had the car seat in my old heavy chevy truck. I had no pet carrier so I just put my kitty in the truck and off we went. The first 9 minutes were great. At first glance I though it was cute that lil girl (cat's name) was sitting in the car seat. How sweet I thought.

At second glance I noticed that undeniable bow in her back and ears pinned back in $hit mode. Then just like you said, the smell hit. This happens at the very second I make a left hand turn into the vet's parking lot after a 10 minute drive.

On the way home, same thing (but not in car seat this time) right as I'm pulling in the driveway she has diareah on the seat so I knock her into the floorboard where she has more diareah, then pukes everwhere to top it all off.

Man that cat has some serious trouble keeping her bowls in order whenever she rides.

I know your pain. I cleaned all of this myself. Luckily no carpet and the carseat cover could be easily cleaned. You should be ok for at least 5 more years before something like this can happen again.

Fortunately for me Cody normally travels well. He has gone with me everywhere for five years and this is his first accident.

I will go home later and yell at the kids for leaving their candy out.

I know my dog's whine. I can even tell when she's faking a "I have to crap whine". I hope she never lays a log in the Tahoe. I'm planning to take her on the boat in the ocean this summer so I'm a little nervous that she might lay a few logs on deck. Guess I need to take a pooper scooper with me

Thats funny! Everyones had a story or two come along like that. My dog always takes a dump before he gets on the boat, knowing he won't be able to go for a while. Last time he took one right on the dock at the boat ramp RIGHT NEXT to this black guy crabbing!

i just walked in from work and think i can beat.

last train home, 10 minutes from the house, pullin into a station and theres what appears to ba a naked dude running full tilt on the 3rd rail protection board.
towards the train. we stop and call for the train coming in the opposite direction to stop.
i climb down and this naked dude is crawling under my train from front to back.
the conductor in the other train comes down and now naked dude starts crawling out from under the train but i mean crawling over 3rd rail, which hasnt been lifted yet.
now we start trying to pull naked dude out and he starts wrestling with us while dangerously close to 3rd rail.
and naked dude was on something because he didnt care and he was stronger than sh!t.
so now i figure that we are all gonna fry when naked dude bolts up the opposite platform and starts attacking the other train.
at this point the 1st officer arrives on scene and naked dude starts to go for the officers gun. now i jump on naked dude while my buddy from the other train opens the train door and we shove naked dude into the train and onto the seat.
now more officers show and i have to get back to my train to make sure all is well over there. finally they strapped naked dude to a gurney, restore 3rd rail power and we are on our merry way.
now every jackass on the train wants to know why we are so late and its not bad enough that i have a train full of friday night drunken a$$holes but their biggest problem now is "im going to be home 27 minutes late".
im like a naked dude almost just died under the train you were sitting on and this is all about you.
i hate people.
well my heart is still racing and i'll most likely be up all night but i really feel bad for anybody who got home 27 minutes late.

PEOPLE SUCK!!!!!!!

they PHUKKING SUCK!!!!!!!

Good one Charlie!

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw once:

"Slowly losing faith in the human race.... One person at a time!"

charlie_the_tuna · #10 03-29-2008, 12:33 PM

bradford, i have long since lost faith.
i deal with 2,000 of these animals on a daily basis.
you cant imagine the utter stupidity.
i dont know how some of these idiots tie their shoes in the morning.
