Um . . . I don't think they want you to go there.

So, we all do dumb and stupid things sometime, but I just had to laugh last night at some other lady's stupidity.

I stopped at the gas station by my house to fill up. It's a Conoco station with doors on both sides of the building. Two windows and the glass door on one side are all boarded up. It looks as if someone tried to break in through the glass or something and they are waiting for the repair work to start. (I wouldn't be surprised since we've had a slew of break-in's in our neighborhood . . . but anyway.) Not only are the door and windows boarded up, but there is caution tape strung across that whole side of the building and big orange cones placed about every 5 feet. I'm pretty sure that the gas station people don't want you to use that entrance.

So I'm standing at my car, filling my tank when this woman in big sunglasses drives up to a pump. She gets out of her car and walks toward the building. Without hesitation, she lifts up the caution tape and stoops beneath it. She walks to the boarded up door and pulls the handle to open it. It doesn't open. She pulls on the handle a second time. It still doesn't open. She looks around as if looking into the windows for some assistance, but the windows are boarded up. She grabs the deadbolt on the door and taps it. She tries the door handle again. Nothing.

She gives up and walks back to her car.
