Anything funny/strange happen to anyone lately?

Fell alseep one night with my headphones on, with my iPod on sleep timer. Happens to me every now and then as I tend to listen to some music before going to sleep.

Anyways, early in the next morning (5-6am) I wake up and the iPod had been turned back on accidentally...the first thing I hear is:

Would have been nothing on any other day, but it just so happened to be April 4th 2006.

I don't take kind to telemarketers, but at the same time I have a sutble respect for what they do, seeing as how a job is a job. Rather than just telling them off and hanging up, I tend to see what I can do. I've done the seinfeld, put the guy on hold for a really long time, thing.

I've also had conversations akin to this:

"Hello this is so-and-so, we are interested in selling you this, are your parents around?"

"No, I'm sorry. They're hanging around in my meat fridgerator. I'll have to tell them to get back to you in a few days."

And, if all else fails, you can always try to have phone sex. I've done it before, sometimes they won't hang up right away. A little roleplaying for the customer.

Man, I just started working at Blockbuster and I've already had to deal with crazy people.

Like the girl with ADHD who kept asking for movies that aren't even out in theatres yet.

Was on the bus the other week, and I noticed a man talking to the bus driver. Not out of the ordinary, but he had been standing there for a bit more than normal. I went back to my book and looked up at the next stop to see he's still standing there, I also notice at this juncture that he has a broken left hand/wrist. The man and the driver start yelling at each other (over what I'm not sure.)

The guy begins demanding to be let off the bus even though we weren't at a stop. The man then walks over and pulls the "emergency stop" lever, jumps into the driver seat, and starts pummeling the driver with both hands. I pull out my phone and dial 911, the guy is still wailing on the driver, and I see both the driver and the dude fly towards the door (the diver threw the guy off of him.) The driver opens the door and tries to push the guy out, he succeeds, but gets taken out with the guy in the process, the two continue to grapple in the middle of the street (this whole thing has lasted less than 10 seconds) before the dude ran off down a side street. I made sure the driver didn't need any medical assistance and hung up with 911.

I love the CTA.
