What emergencies could a fabric store have? Leave your guess!

Oh no, always be afraid of the oboes.

Oh, yeah. Beware the double reeds!

Wow, that dumb woman wanted to be lazy with 6 shelves of glass? I'm thinking she got off really lightly with only bumps and bruises.

When I worked at Hobby Lobby some kids (two 14yr old boys) got into a fight close to the candle aisles. They ended up slamming into the shelves and of course, they collapsed and smashed a few dozen or more jar candles, broke a bunch of candle sticks, and broke open a bunch of potpourri liquid bottles. (phew! my scent allergies went insane for a week or two)

They also damaged some electric lamps and some ceramics that were on a display table in the aisles before the managers got there and broke up the fight. (they actually called police and had the kids arrested...dont know what came of it after that tho)

I was lucky and didnt have to help clean up the mess. (yay!) I felt bad for the guys that did have to clean it up. It was a mess.

We also once had a finger amputation happen at our store. Some little kid (5yr old?) got his finger caught in the side of the bathroom door on the hinged side of the door. Not sure what he was doing sticking his finger in the door like that. I think his mom said she was going to sue the store, but as far as I know, nothing ever came of it. The door wasnt defective (the kid was!).

My dad cut off a couple of fingers by accident. They're back on now. He works for a delivery company who delivers to ridiculously rich people. They were getting an umbrella and the base for it was really heavy. They did not warn him about their stairs. Apparently they thought it would be all artsy to make the stairs different widths, but because of the color of the stone you can't tell, and especially when you're straining with an 80 lb metal object. As you can imagine he fell, the base landed right on his hand and bye bye middle and index. He called me first before the ambulance, obviously he wasn't thinking straight. Luckily the designer there is very nice and made sure the ambulance came from the hand institute and not the crappy hospital whose district they were in. They didn't think the fingers could live that long detached. 2 days later they were reattached (the doctor got caught up in a surgery with a guy who put his hand in the garbage disposal thingy in the sink, i don't know why you would do that, anyway he couldn't get to my dad right away). Everything's all better now. You can barely tell. Best part is he can still play bass, just had to get a smaller one. I actually ended up subbing for him the months he was out. It was awkward, playing with a bunch of old dudes, getting into bars while still underage. My dad is much more fun than me, he likes to dance on tables, stand on 2 chairs and skate across the floor, and let kids play his bass. This happened a year ago now and he's in tip top shape and back out there. As a flute player I couldn't imagine having something like that happen. I mean, I complain a lot about my fingers, but at least I have them.

If there were video footage of this happening, a big flashing red "FAIL" would be the most appropriate ending to it.

Also, would it be so wrong of me to want to bash the idiot's head in with the shelf for costing me my day off?

Or maybe the keyboard cat playing her off...

... A shelf full of fabric fell on an EW and it broke her acrylic nail... Now everyone in the store must stop their lives and find it OR ELSE..?

....Yeah I really have none...

Possible punishment of CW?

200 hours of community service...

Listening to beginners on oboe, violin, french horn & bagpipes...

And they have to switch instruments randomly.

Hehe, unfortunately yes. Ah, methods class. I'm done with those now. I can't make fun of the tuba player though, when I did oboe it was a disaster and I would not want anyone making fun of me. Trumpet was also terrible. I rocked the bassoon though, I actually play it in band now.

Hey now. I am a tuba player who also plays the sax. Not all of us suck at it. Now, tuba players on bassoons...

Me: One moment, please hold.
SC: That's more like it.
Me: I wasn't talking to him.

I think I love you!

Poltergeist in a fabric store...cool. One could always hope SC's would get buried under shelves of fabric...or tied up by possessed balls of yarn...
