A Totally stupid pointless thread

**kokopup** · 11-09-2009, 05:14 PM

I heard somewhere something about them getting in behind the washer bucket (don't know what that is actually called). don't know how true that is but maybe if my washer ever dies I will crack it open and check

I can assure you that the socks are not behind the Washer "bucket'. I recently had a mouse die somewhere inside my washer. I tore the wash apart and removed the "bucket" and did not find a single sock or a mouse either. Where ever that place is where the mouse found to hide before dieing probably has a bunch of socks too.

I usually buy several dozen of the same black socks so when I lose one it isn't obvious until one day the sock drawer is empty. I used to buy the ones with the colored thread in the toe so you could match them. I just ended up with a bunch of mismatch socks with different colored toes.

I don't see shoes very often but I always see broken furniture by the side of highways and interstates and wonder:
(1)how far away did it start its journey?
(2)what happened to make it jump out right there, as opposed to further down the road?
(3)how far was it from its original destination?

I can just imagine some redneck hauling something in the back of his truck and it falling out right before he got home with his prize: "Look honey! I drove clear to the state line just to get you this really nice....ummmm.....where'd it go?"

Some of the tiedown jobs I've seen leaving stores make me want to follow the cars for the same reason you follow the lead of a second lieutenant....

Morbid curiosity.

I got behind a truck with a flying ladder too - on a back country road with no shoulder to pull off on to, to get out of the way. Fortunately there were no vehicles coming in the opposite direction, and I was able to swerve into that lane. The ladder would have gone right thru my windshield if I hadn't gotten out of it's path. Scared the crap out of me.

Yeah I'm always nervous when I see a vehicle with a bunch of junk piled in the back and not tied down.

I was following a few cars back from this pick up truck that had the bed piled with wood. and the wood was flying out everywhere. everytime he would turn or start moving again after being stopped wood would fall out all over the place.

PANTS? LOL yes that would make me wonder too.

Back when I was in college I bought a pair of pants for my bf at a thrift store. I saw him the next day and said "I appreciate the pants, but what was the money for?" I'm like "what money?". He said "there was 2 dollars wadded up in the little watch pocket". I only paid 2 bucks for the pants so I guess that made them free, LOL.

**sparks19** · 11-10-2009, 08:06 AM

haha that's not the first time I've heard of that happening with thrift store pants. but somehow I NEVER get those pants LOL

but I am convinced that our dryer makes money

we always find a couple of bucks floating around in there. One time even a $20 WOOHOO lol

I can't stand getting behind ANY truck that has one of those "protective" tarps across the top of their haul. You don't know how many times my windshield has been dinged and pitted because of small rocks and stones being tossed out of the compartment and also from the wheel treads. Many times it's like a shower of stones. If one ever hits my windshield and cracks it, I immediately get the license plate # and the name of the company and call them to report it. I also mark down the date and time it happened. I'm not reporting it to my insurance company only to have my rates go up cuz of their ignorance.

**sparks19** · 11-10-2009, 08:33 AM

You know what almost landed on my windsheild the other day?

COW POOP lol. Oh yes. I was beside a truck that was hauling cows and they all had their back ends against the sides of the truck where the holes are and were obviously making their displeasure well known by pooping out of the holes lol.
