"It's your fault we locked ourselves out!!"

[Marmalady]

Are we not men?
WE ARE DEVO!"

Now that's a bit spooky - I found myself thinking of this song today, for no reason at all, hadn't thought of it for years.... and I log on and here it is quoted....

[Mikkel]

I'm imagining "Oh, hi Kate, I just stepped out and those damned doors wouldn't open.
"Poor you and it's raining so."
"Yes, we have had some horrible weather."
"We certainly have. We must hope next week... Darn, the doors closed."
"Oh, I'll call Karen. Stupid doors."
A little while later.
"Oh, hi Karen"
Repeat five times.

[chainedbarista]

Me: But I don't understand. How did you not make it back in on time when the doors were opened? The automatic doors stay open for several seconds before they close.

All I got were blank stares. They all returned to their classes, while muttering things like "Ridiculous!" and "Outrageous!" under their breaths.

maybe it was the light reflecting off the raindrops that distracted them?? (ooh, shinies!) wow, that is some serious lack of sense on their parts.

[El Pollo Guerrera]

There is so much failure of logic with these ones...

At no time did anyone mention to a friend on the phone that they were locked out of the building, could you please come and HOLD THE DOOR OPEN FOR US?

I can give a little leeway to the first two, but after that...



Dare I ask what the evening class they were taking was?

[Captain Trips]

I could only think of a certain song at this stupidity:

"They tell us that
We lost our tails
Evolving up
From little snails.
I say it's all
Just wind in sails.
Are we not men?
WE ARE DEVO!"

(Yes, the De-evolution principle is proven once again!)

[NateTheChops]

Wow...the story reads like the plot of an early 80's sitcom and the fact that this really happened is what makes it sadder.

[candyshopgirl]

Only if those doors would lead to a woodchipper.

Six less dumb people in the world.

[Mondestrucken]

Idiots. Pure idiots.

And if CRML hadn't seen them, would the entire class have ended up standing outside in the rain, like a Japanese horror movie I saw not too long ago.

[thansal]

I think there is only one proper response to this:



BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAaaaaaa

*gasps*

*catches breath*


HA!

[Mel]

I don't understand. Are there 2 sets of doors maybe? That's the only way I can think that SIX people could get locked outside!

Otherwise... WTF!?

[Mikkel]

I can't see how two could be trapped outside in that way, let alone six. If I were locked out in the rain and called someone to let me in, I would be standing just outside the door waiting. I wouldn't wait for the next person to go all the way out and the doors to close, I would jump out of the rain as soon as the door opened.
I'm probably guilty in thinking .

[Geek King]

I find it entertaining this story was posted within a week of a report being published that states high schools and colleges, in general, are failing to teach students critical thinking skills.

[PepperElf]

Now now, no need to use the T-word, Pepper. You know better.

"that" ?

jk

[bainsidhe]

Please tell me they just forgot to tell each person that by "locked out", they meant out of the building and not out of a vehicle. Because otherwise I'm just....

[Marmalady]

When I got there, I found six people locked outside! SIX!!

Why do I get the feeling they were all going 'baaaaa' ?
