True stories from real life

[motherhubbard]

I thought I’d start a thread where we can share true stories from real life. I expect it should be very entertaining. I’m not a good story teller, but I’ll go first.



My husband used to be a patrol officer. One of his duties on the overnight shift was to check local businesses to make sure they were secure. One night he found the drive through window of a local fast food restaurant open so he and another officer had to go in to check the building. This involves looking in every nook and cranny to make sure there is no one hiding. My husband had been around for a while, he’s ex-military and was had several years in law enforcement so it was difficult to surprise him. The other officer had been in Vietnam and wasn’t too far from civilian retirement. Nothing, absolutely nothing surprised him anymore.

Once they got inside of the building the floor was so slick with grease that they could hardly walk. They had to hold on to countertops and appliances to move through the kitchen. The room was filled with roaches. When they looked in the office they found three large, open boxes of croutons and they were just crawling. Next they moved through the employee break area. There were several lockers along one wall that were large enough for a person to hide in. They started checking and found that the lockers were as nasty as the rest of the kitchen. My husband was opening the lockers while the other officer was shining his flashlight in. when my husband opened the fourth locker the other officer panicked, drew his gun and started yelling “shut the door! shut the door!” My husband promptly shut the door. He had never seen him react anything like this and it was disturbing.

What they saw scared the wits out of them. It turns out that there were three rats the size of my husband’s forearm in that locker! Those tough guys had met their match. I just imagine them trying to scramble across that slick floor to get away from the giant rats. We haven’t eaten there again.

We really don’t have a lot of crime in my area. Most violent incidents are among family, we have a lot of hot check offences, and then there is a meth problem. Occasionally there will be a person who causes some trouble and has to get arrested a couple of times before being sent off to prison for any length of time.

Several years ago we were having some trouble with a flasher. There was a young girl, maybe 22, working overnights at a convenience store who was worried about the flasher. This worry grew and she became worried about getting robbed. Her manager gave her a big can of pork and beans to keep on the counter telling her that if she had any trouble to just throw them through the glass at the front of the store. In the early hours one morning the flasher walked in and exposed himself. He laid his business on the counter top and smiled at the young girl. The young girl picked up the big can of pork and beans and slammed it down on his penis.

The guy passed out and she called the police who arrested the guy, but truly did feel sorry for him.

I know that rats and pork-n-beans are hard to beat, but doesn't anyone have a story?

I know that rats and pork-n-beans are hard to beat, but doesn't anyone have a story?But of course. I have told this tale before in another forum. You need to know that we were discussing FOD (foreign object damage) to aircraft:A forgotten tool could jam controls, debris ingested by an engine could make it fail...


Ok, this is slightly off topic, but now that the original question has been answered, I just have to tell you about about an interesting personal incident related to FOD: I once found myself in a glider (in tow, right after takeoff) full of wasps! Angry wasps... Having little choice, I had to sit it out and concentrate on the flying: Being in tow at low altitude and speed is not the time to start fighting wasps. My plan was to pull the release and get back to Terra Firma asap (after gaining enough altitude to do so), but having gained enough height for a landing pattern, I noted that the wasp activity was declining. I realized that it was getting too cold for them, and stayed in tow, finally pulling the release at 1000m as originally intended. The striped marauders were now pacified.

I pulled the brakes and came back down in a hurry. As soon as I touched down, the little monsters went back to business, and I got out as soon as I had the machine stopped.

When things had calmed down again we had a look inside the aircraft and found the source of my ordeal: A nest under the seat! The machine had not been flown for two weeks due to poor weather, so they had had time to build it, and it could not be seen without removing the seat. Obviously, the commotion during takeoff and landing displeased them... and me!

All this did not affect the plane, of course, but it did a job on the pilot. The overall and hat saved me, but they got me in the face. Foreign objects...

Wow, that is something. Good thing you had your wits about you. That could have turned into a tragedy.

[qimissung]

That is amazing. I cannot even imagine being basically trapped in a small confined space, thousands of feet above ground with wasps having at me....
something similar happened to my sister when we were children, although we were on terra firma. Some neighbors had gone away for a few days, and she went over to feed their pets, I guess. She was with friends, and I think she was only around seven. Anyway, they were sitting on a bench, when a horde of wasps streamed out from under it-all the other girls managed to get away, but not my sister. I don't remember how many times she was stung, but I do remember going into our bedroom and seeing her lying in bed-my parents had put bags of ice all around her. She lay so still. Of course, she made a pretty quick recovery.

oh Clase! That's horrible. I don't think I could have done it.

Oh, I once had a bee fly in my car while sitting at a red light. I got out of my car at that same red light - I've convinced myself I'm allergic to bees. (I read somewhere or think I read somewhere or i may have made it up that adults have a greater chance of being allergic to bees on the first sting)
