Failures Of Humanity

More Failures Of Humanity

A few of my favourites:

One time I was at a small hardware store where the only other occupants were the store's owner and a dad with his young son. The kid picks up a hammer and starts playing with it, the dad sees this, rips it out of the boys hand, and somehow manages to clunk himself in the forehead with the hammer. He dropped like a stack of bricks while the store owner called 911. It was more like an accident, but it seemed pretty stupid at the time.


This was about four years ago. I was sitting in the car waiting for my wife to grab something in a craft store. This woman came out carrying a kid about two and with little girl about six or so behind her. The girl was screaming so much her face was red. She wanted something in the store and the mother had said no. As they were making their way across the lot the six year old picked up a rock and chucked it. Direct hit to the base of the mother's skull. She went down on top of the two year old and wasn't moving.

I ran over to help and possibly call 911 and she started to get up. She thanked me then turned to the six year old. All i could think was how my mom would beat my ass for such a thing. She just looks at the kid and says "You must have really wanted that, lets go back inside and get it for you". Fucking phenomenal.


Today I saw some rather large girl in TIGHT LEATHER PANTS, talking to her VERY large mother about paying someone to dance with her, and how much would be appropriate.

They agreed on $40 (Canadian).


I went hiking at the Greenbelt today (it's a nature preserve inside the city limits) and on my way back I passed a couple hiking to one of the waterfalls. The man was carrying a tiny backpack, his 5'6 wife/girlfriend was dragging the cooler full of beer. The cooler got stuck on a root, which somehow managed to make her fall, spilling some of the beer.

He was a real gentleman though. He ran over and picked up the 2 cans that fell out, while glaring at me as I walked by. His wife had to get up on her own.

true story, last year I was at a park playing pick up bball with my friends from work and we were standing there watching this family playing baseball (well not playing baseball but more like playful batting practice with a softball) when the mom wanted to try. so one of her kids tossed the ball from like 10 feet away underhanded and she wound up to hit the ball. on the backswing, she managed to catch her other son (about 6 or 7 years old) in the head with the metal bat. he was bleeding and the ambulance was on the way. the kid was tough though, his mom was screaming as if she got hit and he stayed calm.

It's disturbing to think what the kid is probably like now if they've been rewarded for that kind of behaviour.

Back when Spider-Man 2 came out, a group of us including my friend's brother went to see it. We happened to be at the front of the line waiting to get in when a family of bogans came up and without hesitation ignored the line and stood in front of the doors, in front of about fifty people who had done the right thing and were waiting in line. So, my friend's brother pointed out the rather difficult to miss fact there was a queue, only for the mother and father of the clan to go ballistic and try to fight him. They backed down once it became clear the rest of us, including several others immediately behind us in the lane, weren't about to let that happen.

I was expecting some sort of deep social commentary on how self-destructive our society is. Oh well, I like this thread better.

Not a bad idea for a thread, though I think at least some of the stories achieve that in their own way.

Add the amazing refereeing of the NBA to the failures of humanity.

This is fun to read while at work. I find this one too funny to be true, though:
My own story hails from Wisconsin, home to far too many fatties. I was up there from Chicago for a weekend out on some random lake with friends and such when we decide to get some food and groceries for the trip at a local Pik 'n Sav. We pull up and park and whatnot, and as we walk in, we see a man who I firmly believe is the fattest you can be and still be able to walk, eating mayonnaise. Out of the jar. With his hand. Scooping it into his mouth.

I almost puked.
if you were killed tomorrow, i WOULDNT GO 2 UR FUNERAL CUZ ID B N JAIL 4 KILLIN THE MOTHA FUCKER THAT KILLED U!

True story. About a month ago I was at wal-mart when I see this milf could not have been more than 24 with like 3 kids. She was pulling a shopping cart behind her with her like 4 year old daughter pretending to push when she goes to the side and doesn't see the other cart on the side of the isle. Her head gets stuck in between the two carts and she starts screaming.

I saw it coming a mile away but was to focused on the mom to do anything about it. :twisted:

Wow with that kind of positive reinforcement, there's no telling how fucked up the kid is today. If that were my kid, I'd be in jail for assault and battery on a minor.
