    This my dad off. We all know how this goes. We do the right thing and are punished for it, where as these are skipping in front traffic and will probably get away with it. He thought about following this stream of cars onto the shoulder, but he decided he'd do the right thing and wait.

    thewerepuppygrr I was working in a supermarket when panicked customer A came up to me and said he'd accidentally left his cash in the ATM and had anyone handed it in. I was about to say no when customer B appeared behind him and said he'd been trying to catch up to him - he'd been queuing behind him at the ATM and saw what happened, so he'd got the money for him.

    Grey_Gryphon. kid in middle school kept trying to steal my cellphone (it was me a cheap flip phone, but he'd do it just to off). Our school had a rule that you couldn't have your phone out in class. Teacher left the classroom for a second to have a brief word with an administrator, jerkass kid grabbed my phone. Teacher came back in a moment later and caught him red-handed with (my) phone out. She wouldn't believe it wasn't his phone. He got detention. 10.3k Share

    ChileConCaveman. I worked at a grocery store. I was stocking Instant Noodles on a big sale display. All I had was a cheap small step 2 step stool, you know the one with the bar that runs across the top step? Reaching down to the stool from the shelf I was standing on, was about 3 feet .I had a 60% chance my foot would land on the top bar and collapse the thing. I asked a coworker to use his shoulder as a handle as I got down. My supervisor called me a "princess" for getting assistance.

    Soon after he was stocking the 2-Liter Coke bottles on a sales display. He tried to get down. He took the 40% success rate jump onto the step. Hit the top bar.The step ladder collapsed. He broke his arm and took down half of the display. I just clocked out and left before they told me to clean up the spilled soda all over the place. 7.6k Share

    [deleted] Used to commute to DC from 40 miles away. Driving home one evening, this dude decides he MUST merge into my lane NOW. Beeping and all, he pushes me off the road. The car behind me was a cop. As soon as I was on the shoulder, lights and sirens went on and the dude was pulled over. 4.9k Share

    VariousHandSoaps. It was my own karma. I was in eighth grade. I was standing on a bench when I watched some girl fall over in the yard, started laughing and pointing and then went to lean back onto the fence that was behind the bench. Turns out it had broken off where I was standing and I fell straight through and into the mud. 3.5k Share

    jurassicbond I saw someone tailgating another car on a highway. There was a huge CRT lying in the road. The tailgatee changed lanes at the last minute and the tailgater slammed full speed into the TV. It was hilarious. EDIT: For those too young to remember anything not flat screen, this is a CRT (cathode ray tube) television. 2.1k Share ...
