Strangers or are they?

Will waiting in an airport terminal I had a guy, I'll call him Bob, obviously airport personnel sit down beside me. The guy immediately across from us, Joe, also staff, recognized Bob right away. He said "Hi Bob" and proceeded to ask how he was doing, how the family was, all the typical conversation questions from people you see on occasion.

However I noticed that Bob beside me answered the questions, however his questions back seemed somewhat generic in kind, mostly work related, where they were flying etc. I began to have a sneaking suspicion that Bob could not remember who Joe was, which was amusing as Joe didn't seem to clue in. Even after Bob asked when the last time they saw each other was...

My suspicion was confirmed Joe went to the washroom and asked Bob to watch his bag, Bob snuck over to the bag and checked the name tag. I could not hold my laughter in, and Bob noticed me laughing, I assured him I'd keep his secret about not remember Joe for him. I somehow was able to maintain my mirth when Joe returned, not without some difficulty.

Trust, it's a fine line.

One of my sisters went was in a public washroom when a girl dashed into a stall, then yelled over, "Take my purse for me while I'm in here," and threw her purse over the stall door. My sister and another girl caught the purse. The other girl immediately began digging through the purse and opened the wallet. My sister made her put everything back and made sure the girl in the washroom got her purse back.

Not sure which is worse, the girl so trusting she gave her purse to random strangers, or the girl who had no moral conflict about going through a stranger's purse?

Meh?

A Miata with a "Meh" plate. Not very inspiring advertising for that car.

Not in an emergency.

One of the places I worked in required that everyone get Fire Extinguisher training. During the training the Fire Marshal described the different types of Extinguishers and how to use them. Before we got to actually each put out a fire, he asked one of my co-workers this, "You have a Chemical Fire Extinguisher in your hand and the guy next to you is on fire, what do you do?"
Her response was she wasn't sure. So the Fire Marshal responded, "Let me rephrase, you're on fire, he has the extinguisher, what do you want him to do?!"
She immediately said, "Put me out!"- The rest of us made note that she wasn't the person to have around during an emergency!

Which way??

I had arrived early to write an exam for a new job, so I was waiting outside the exam room in the seating area. I spent my time people watching those who were walking outside and trying to read a book. Suddenly the fire alarm system goes off.

However having been in a number of buildings in which there are many false alarms I questioned someone walking by if this was a building where people actually leave during a fire alarm, or one that you wait until you're told to evacuate. He told me they would announce if we were to leave. 

Less than 5 min later the power then goes out and they announced at this point to evacuate the building. As I am gathering up my things to leave, the room I was waiting to write my exam in empties. There is a lady leading people out, she then looks at the door leading directly to the outside and asks "Is this the closest Emergency Exit?"

My immediate reply was, "Well, I don't think you'll get any closer than this!!" as I pushed opened the door and left.

Happy Canada Day to Everyone!

Smarty pants...

So I was going for a walk the other night and came across a skateboarder boarding in the middle of the road, wearing a completely black outfit. Maybe he was hoping the green tires on his skateboard would make him visible enough to vehicles.
