Comments on: Three Deaths So Far From Fay https://whynow.dumka.us/2008/08/21/three-deaths-so-far-from-fay/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 23 Aug 2008 04:33:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2008/08/21/three-deaths-so-far-from-fay/comment-page-1/#comment-38853 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 04:33:12 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=4994#comment-38853 There is nothing you can do about these idiots. You point to the instructions, you point to the warnings, you remind them of carbon monoxide, and all you hear is:

…but it’s raining

…but it will get stolen

…but I don’t own enough extension cords.

These are the people who cause all of the stupid warning labels on everything we buy. These are the people who used a hair dryer in the shower. These are the people who can drown in a gallon bucket. These are the people who store gasoline in the utility room with the gas hot water heater.

i was sorely tempted to leave him to collect his darwin award, but instead i went home and called the police and described the situation. they showed up on his doorstep right quicklike and ‘splained a couple things to him. apparently in terms he could understand.
