Absolutely ridiculous stories - tell yours

[Said1]

Not much of a story, but I have to share it... I'm still laughing about it! :lol: My office building is a small, old building. There are two elevators in a narrow hallway, with the back one recessed a few feet. A mirror was put on an angle at the end of the hallway so people could see the recessed back elevator. Twice last week I saw people walk smack into the mirror while going for the elevator. The first girl looked very confused, and looked straight at the mirror for a couple seconds before I said, yo!, over here. The second girl was even funnier. She not only walked full tilt into the mirror, but then actually apologized to herself for bumping! :lol:

That's funny.

When I was a receptionist, I used to watch people chat while they waited for the elevator, unbeknownst to them that no one had pushed the button.

Another thing, you might be able to waylay a sneeze by holding your breath when you feel one coming on, and pinch your nostrils. Sometimes this will stop a sneeze.

Just a cautionary note here... yes, holding your breath and pinching your nose might stop a sneeze, but it might cause your head to explode. It's true, it happened to a freind's cousin's brother once. 8O

Mike,
Well, I heard holding in a sneeze can cause a slipped disk, and letting it out can do the same thing. From an orthopedic surgeon. Can't win for losing, can ya? I know someone who threw his back implant out sneezing. Sneezing is a dangerous hazard.

I try to stay at home, avoid dangerous exercise, sit in a comfty padded chair, walk slowly, and use tremendous caution - and yet this is the 8th fracture I've had since adulthood.
