Well I have a few, and they are automotive related.
1.
I was driving down PCH one night after going home from a car meet, pulling up beside me was an Enzo, I have built a few for clients around the globe, especially for people in the easy with large disposable incomes. Anyways, guy stares at me, and stares. I am thinking to myself...GAY much? Penis Size Issues? Insecure? Finally some kid in a Honda Civic pulls up into the side road, like this is some stupid movie from universal about riced up little pop corn machines. Light turns green, Enzo and Civic take off. I ease in, and just drive normally, a cop car zooms past me, and pulls both over. Waves me down...I think I am in trouble, and am annoyed. Turns out he saw, I didn't do anything but noticed my cars rumble along with the enzo. He thought he heard a v8 and he would be right. He ended up being a corvette owner, with a charger, He laughed looking over my little RX7, 6.0L v8, and a T88 turbo...he said why didn't I go with one of those motors already in rice rockets. I said cause I love mix and matching my cars, he laughed, and said he likes mixing and matching women, I didn't get it, but he told me I could leave.

I had just come back from Japan, and have alot of family there, I pain stakingly searched for a car over here, that had to be imported, Nissan Silvia, the S15 chassis. I fell in love with the car while I lived over there.
Surely enough I found one. Not happy with it just being a body shell, I began a long process of building the car for my private collection and use. fire wall was first on my hate list, than steering placement, and in went 7.4L Rockhellar Race Motor from a friends company, I was thinking 66 or 88 turbo...I ended up going bigger.
Long story short, was taking out for shake down session to see if anything was wrong with it, was on PCH again, SURPRISE!? And I dunno where these jack asses come from, but up rolls a kid, probably 18 or so, with a Dodge Viper, and this thing isn't stock. You can hear it, and see it. Body modifications were extensive. It was really really mean...and hissed like a snake should, boost fed.
Well long story short I didn't race with him, public street and all, but we kept sizing each others cars up. Saw him again at a local event my ex boss threw, and his car is mean. But a mom and dad financed machine....and built by someone else. Not his own two hands :\ longer story short, ran against him and murdered, his reply "How could I loose? My mom and dad spent so much money!"

Some A hole with a bro ho lifted 250 was ragging on Chevy Colorado, a swapped LS2 truck, I paid no mind, alot of die hard solo brand enthusiast are close minded and ignorant. I like all vehicles, if they are built well. lol.
Anyways, later, I saw him on the side of the road angled, his tire tore apart some how, and he didnt have AAA or anything, I stopped and said hey, we can go to my bosses, get you a new tire and wheel...and throw in back of my truck come back and swap it in.
He felt like an asshole douche, we now are friends. He eventually bought the Colorado.

Went to see Date Night, the other night at a local theater, with my Mrs, a little into the movie we saw the couple at the other end of the chairs, doing things. Up comes the staff member with a flash light, he says excuse me, excuse me, but they don't stop till the guy is done, she slides her nickers up, he zips up, and continues watching movie, telling the kid with the light to fuck off.
I found that funny as hell. I looked at my wife and winked, she said NO. lol. I used the family guy quote when God in the Cartoon is in bed "Come on Babbby, its my birthdayy!" She gave me this "really? you think that'll work?" look, and we laughed.

Saw some guy at a local store, picking up his ar, assuming his wait period was over, he was loading it up with so much stuff, eotech up top, 2 lights, a laser, etc. I laughed, cause he DIDNT know how to use them, i.e. he probably doesn't need them. And it was a LWRCi Rifle. Why does he need that?
Than he was dropping CASH, for a REPR...wtf? Why does he need that? Thats a laugh.
Another? A guy running around a local surplus store, is loading up on everything he thinks he needs for survival. He asked the owner, is this good? Is this good? The owner and I were talking while the guy was running around. Hes buying for a camping emergency. But in a real situation, are you going to have all this stuff with and or on you? No. You just wouldn't carry all that at one time. Especially if you are just going to visit a family member or out for an errand, an emergency will hit when you are least prepared. :\
He bought a Kabar knife and thinks its the best knife for survival use. I laughed. He than asked me about my than 3, I was about to answer, when the store owner shushed me. He said, no need. He said that kinda guy...is just camping, and trying to be cool by buying every nic nac thing. He isn't interested in learning anything, or practicing what he learns, just showing up to a camp sight, thinking hes awesome badass, with the latest buys and wears.
Wow. I've never seen a person do that before. He said real use gear? If a person knows a thing or two, will find it themselves, and be informed about their purchase, and the items use. Ignorant people will not.
So I equate this as to people buying FAST cars, and not being able to maintain them themselves, or have the knowledge to strip and build up a car with their own two hands. So they hire a shop to do it....
Uninformed isn't an excuse, its just ignorance. I myself was noob, and have tried and gone around to learn as much and as best as I can/could. That guy in the store? Isn't. Hes thinking if he throws enough money at anything, it will do just fine.
Hows that for funny?
