Dumbest Man In The World

[Renee750il]

I saw the dumbest man in the world the other day. Truly.

Shiva and I were out in the car running errands. She'd been a very good girl; went into the bank with me and charmed everyone when she stood up on her hind legs and looked over the counter at the teller and took a cookie oh-so-gently without even touching the woman's fingers. We went to the store to see Charley where she helped sell a bedroom suite to a couple of dog lovers, then on to the Farmers' Co-op to fill the propane tank; she impressed all the farmers mightily, especially when I told them she was a cattle herding dog.

I stopped to get a sandwich and was sitting where I could look directly out the window and see her sitting in the passenger's seat watching me, fairly sure I would be bringing her a bite later. The window was open about two inches. A guy in a van parked next to my car. Shiva noticed him, but didn't pay any attention to him.

This idiot pecks on my car window! Shiva just looked at him and never moved a muscle.

So he pecks on the window again as he walked to the back of his van. Shiva turned around and watched him this time, but still didn't react strongly.

When this MORON walked back from the rear of the van, he STUCK HIS FINGERS IN MY CAR WINDOW!!!!

Oh boy, did Shiva react to that! I thought I'd choke! I was mad as the proverbial wet hen, but man, was it funny seeing his reaction! That whole car rocked when she lunged! I don't know if it ever occured to him that if she'd really wanted to bite him he'd have pulled back nubs. A couple of people inside had been watching the whole scenario unfold and they were cracking up. I'd finished and was leaving just as The Idiot was coming in, so I just looked at him and said "dumbass" to him as I passed by.

When I got in the car Shiva just innundated me with kisses. The poor pup was so worried that I was going to be upset with her. I bragged on her and petted her and gave her the bite I'd saved for her so she'd know she hadn't done anything wrong.

That guy is a Darwin Award just waiting to be given out . . .

OMIGOSH!! What an IDIOT.

 

[CreatureTeacher]

People are such dummies.

 

[shredhead (DOG LOVER)]

LOL, well handled.

 

[Debi]

Unbelievable! Yep...I'd say he was pretty darn dumb.

What a dummy
How weird. I had a kind of similar thing happen the other day. I was parked outside a store waiting for someone - and an old guy was hobbling along through the car park. He decided to have a 'rest' and plonked right down on the hood of my car instead of sitting on a nearby bench! I gently honked the horn - as I was sat in the car, he looked around and shrugged. I'm not sure if he could see me as the car has very dark windows and it was brilliant sunshine too. Maybe he thought he'd trigged a car alarm -warning or something. So I honked for longer - and he shuffled off.
Bonnie came through and sat on the front passenger seat at this point - interested but not overly worried about what was going on - and had a good look at this guy!

Five minutes later - and he's back - tapping on the front fender with his cane -- I guess he was wondering if he'd triggered a car alarm or something and was "testing it" - maybe he was just plain weird. So I called out "Hey!" - he seemed to jump a little and started to walk around to what would be the drivers window.

Now remember, this car has very dark windows, and Bonnie is sat beside me. Thing is - it's a British car (steering wheel on the right) in Spain (where it would normally be on the left).

Bonnie is now agitated and beginning to growl a little - at this oddball tapping away on the car, and hearing me shout at him. I'm still not sure if he's even seen us in the car.

So he walks round to where he thinks the driver would be and bends down to peer through the dark glass. I pull down the (electric) window to reveal a howling.. now woofing Bonnie looking right back at him, where he was wondering if there was a driver..... he got quite a shock and scuttled away fast! You should have seen his face

 

[tl_ashmore]

I wish I could have seen the look on his face when Shiva lunged at him! I bet that was hilarious...LOL

 

[scob89]

I would have loved to see both Shiva and Bonnie in action.

 

[Renee750il]

Bonster, I can't quit laughing at the thought of what happened with you and Bonnie! That must have been hysterical!

 

[bogolove]

Who are these idiots messing around other people's cars? Good for Shiva and Bonnie. I bet both of those idiots will think twice now before leering around a vehicle they don't know. It is one thing to have an alarm, and quite another to have a large dog growling in your face. Both pups deserve treats!

I can't believe these people! My mom had a similar story too! She lives in Georgia, and she was telling me that she saw a Chihuahua in the window of a parked SUV while she was waiting in her vehicle outside a store. There was a car next to that SUV, and a couple of women were inside. One of the women got out of her car and OPENED the door of the SUV (which happened to be unlocked, not a good thing!) and was playing with the Chi. My mom thought that perhaps the women knew the person who drove the SUV or something, but it turns out they didn't. The owner of the SUV and the Chi finally came out of the store and gave that woman a chewing-out! I do not understand why people want to go up to strange vehicles, tap on windows or even open the doors to play with animals that they do not even know anything about! What if the Chi had jumped out when she opened the door? Gotta watch out for all the idiots in the world!

Yesh.....another reason not to leave your dog in a car while you are in the store not being able to see it.....Stupid people....I don't understand some people.....

 

[Barb04]

Hugs & kisses to Shiva & Bonnie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How stupid some people can be.

 

[nicco]

one thing ya dont do....is touch my mommy!!!! RIP Rommy...i miss ya!

after that he sat at the table and ate his breakfast with us, as kids came up to him and petted him and loved on him...lol...i still can see the look on this guys face...HAHA...priceless!

 

[Purr]

OMG...Good for Shiva and Bonnie!! And Rommy, too!

I know a lady who owns a Chi, and she said she came out of the grocery store one day, and there was a lady holding her Chi!! The woman had opened the van door, and taken the little Chi out, and was playing with her...

i use to walk the parking lot at City market when i took a break..just to locate and report the dogs frying out in the cars..then i would go up to the office and have it annouced. It would be so hot and they just don't get it that heat goes out..not cool air coming in. The library once had a flier of a dog that had been stolen out of a car and sold for research..i don't know what they were doing to the top of his head..it was all goo and wires, but that cured me of ever leaving them in there unattended.

 

[Renee750il]

I don't worry too much if the weather is cool since I usually stay where I can see them. If I'm not going to be able to see the car at all times and it's not a place I can take a dog in, I don't go unless Bimmer is in the car with whichever girl is inside. I can trust him to have the good sense not to let anyone near. If he alerts, they alert. If he charges, they charge. I probably don't have anything to worry about as both of the girls have shown me they don't want anyone bothering their territory, but I do feel much better if Bimmer's in charge!

When it's hot and Chip comes with me I leave 5 windows ( I bought a 4Runner as it's the only one I could find with automatic rear window) open 8 inches, sky light open and doors locked.
