Can you take a hint?
PUSH the damn door and if that doesn't work
Then PULL it and if that doesn't work
THEN READ THE SIGN
Laziness
Ah, but then you drop it and it rolls away from... just out of reach. Shit!!!

Then you get to do the duck walk with pants around ankles to get it.

You know it’s cold when you can do this:
A 60-ton house moves across a stretch of White Bear Lake from Manitou Island to land in Minnesota on Wednesday.Terry Semple of Semple Building Movers of St. Paul, didn't take the weather for granted. Last weekend, they pumped water onto the ice to make it thicker. Kraemer calculated that the lake level was 2 feet below normal, and said tests showed that the ice sat on about a foot of water and muck. And Denice Semple, Terry's wife, said the company hired an engineer who advised how to distribute the weight enough to keep the house from crashing through.
Randy Larson of White Bear Lake joked that it was the biggest ice house he ever saw.

Woman bites driver over non-hybrid bus
Going green was a cause she could really sink her teeth into.
The frantic passenger who bit a veteran driver's arm was upset that his bus wasn't a hybrid, he said Thursday.
"She came on the bus, and she said she waited more than an hour for a hybrid," said MTA driver Peter Williams, 42. "I said, 'I'm not in control of what bus is assigned to me.'"
When her rant was done, she grabbed his arm.
"Miss, don't touch me while I'm operating the bus," Williams warned Bolar.
At W. 79th St., Williams let passengers off and gestured to a dispatcher he called for help.
"That's when she bit me. ... I couldn't believe it."

Pregnant woman forced to expose herself
A pregnant woman was told to bare her stomach in a crowded liquor store to prove she wasn't shoplifting or police would be called.
Cr Tully said the 40-year-old woman was in a Springfield bottleshop last week buying a birthday present when the shop assistant forced her to lift her shirt and expose her baby-belly in front of other customers, after being wrongly accused of shoplifting.
The woman was told if she did not comply, police would be called.
It is believed the 1st Choice Liquor staff claimed there had been a similar incident earlier in the week where a person who was posing as a pregnant woman was actually stealing alcohol.
He said shoplifting was a matter for police not "voyeurs" working behind the counter.
