Driving 400 Miles To Get Newspaper

Nov 19

Posted by Michael Majid in Funny, Mystery, Odd

Day by day, more and more people are losing it. Well, the old guy named Eric Steward was 81 years old. He initially got out of home to get the news paper. He took a wrong turn by accident and then kept on driving and driving for nine straight hours.

So after nine hours and 400 miles away from his home, he decided to ask someone for directions. He talked to a person from the local police station of the place that he had reached and that officer talked to the old guy’s wife on the phone to find out about him.

Apparently, he was 400 miles away from his home while he had just gotten out to get the morning newpaper. He says: “I just went out on the road to have a drive, a nice peaceful drive”. That peaceful drive lasted around nine hours.

The police officer was quoted as saying, “This little old man came up to me saying he was lost. He handed me his mobile and asked if I could speak to his wife”. He was then directed.

Upon asking him why he did not have a satellite mapping GPS to help in finding directions. He said that he did not need one. * He was only lost once in his life*. I think he should get a GPS now, to avoid getting lost for nine hours again, LOL!

When Good Deeds Don’t Work Out

Aug 3

Posted by Michael Majid in Odd

There are some times when you should concentrate on something such as ‘rules and regulations’ instead of trying to be the good guy. The story that I’m about to share is of a similar man who overlooked the rules and policies of his bank and lost his job trying to be a good guy.

Jim Nicholson, a bank teller at a Key Bank branch in Seattle has lost his job because he ran down the block the catch a bank robber until the police arrived. According to the bank’s policies, you must comply to the demands of the robbery and try to avoid dangerous confrontations.

Jim Nicholson, who is 30 years old was fired on Thursday. He says that he totally understood the bank’s policy regarding complying with the demands of the robbery but somehow his instincts over-ruled his mind.

He ran down several blocks to catch the bank robber before he knocked him down with the help of a pedestrian. Eventually, the bank robber turned out to be unarmed.

The officials at Key banks have refused to pass any comments on this, leaving the person who did a good deed unemployed.

This certainly is a little odd. There could have been other options other than firing the bank teller. After all, he was trying to do a good deed and not doing anything for himself but showing loyalty to the bank.

It seems that sometimes, good deeds just don’t work out the way you plan them.

What’s peculiar in this word is the ways his face has been distorted and his disagreement to the decorous surgery due to his spiritual beliefs.
