    The deer-in-the-headlights look

    So I'm helping to spot a forklift & making sure that members aren't in the way but that's easier said than done cause as soon as they see the forklift they just stand there with a stupid look on their faces! I keep saying "excuse us, excuse us" but I want so much to say "Get the hell out of the damn way!!"
    What the hell is wrong with people when they see a forklift approaching & instead of moving out of the way, they just stand there?
    That really pissed me off today!

      To a SC, "excuse me" just means "please forgive me, O important one, for inconveniencing you with my presence." If they don't say anything or get out of the way then it means they accept your apology

          The thought process likely goes like this.

          1) "What's that? Is it important to me?"

          2) "Okay, so it's a forklift. Will it go anywhere near me? Maybe it's not going near me and I won't have to move. I will put off that thought process until it comes closer to me."

          3) "I'm hungry." or "I am not currently hungry." or "I do not currently have to poo."

          4) "I have been run over by a forklift. Time to update my Facebook page."

              Yes it is amazing all the people that see the bright yellow, loudly beeping, flashing light, several ton object with an escort coming toward them and either will not move, or will purposefully get in its way. I personally am not a fan of being ran over

                Yes well, in the face of certain danger....the brain has a fart.

                Seriously, I once had the exact thing happen to me. I heard a cracking noise when I was outside my house, looked up, and saw a tree falling towards me. So do I do the logical thing and step to the side so it falls beside me? God no. I ran ALONG its path, and of course, got smacked with it. Was a big tree too...I was lucky I'd hauled butt or else I would've died.

                ...course...could've just stepped to the side but nooooo I did a Wile E Coyote. ><
