I work with some "funny" guys!
A co-worker comes into the office yesterday,and asks me "so where do you want the Vette?' -I said "It's fine where it is,as far as I know"
"No,we gotta move it"
I said I'd move it (didn't quite get why it was in anyone's way)
He said "No,we got it"-check it out!
Well,I knew they weren't going to move it,since the key was in my pocket,so I went out to move it for them ,and I guess the look on my face was pretty funny,because they all cracked up when I saw what they were up to:
I gotta admit,after the initial "WTF?",it was pretty darn funny-it was no closer than 3" at any point,but from across the parking lot,it looked pretty scary.
They like messin' with me,but they know better than to actually touch the Vette...
Funny bunch of guys I work with...

Am I the only one that doesn't think that's funny?
That is too close for comfort. 3" ?! With equipment like that!? What if the operator accidentally bumped your car in the process of setting up this joke?
The chances of error and property damage in this case were to high for this to be funny.
I'd of been pissed.

No,I'm actually not handicapped.-our parking lot is for our technicians work vans,and employee parking only,but the city requires us to have 2 of our 15 parking spaces to be handicap spaces.
So I use 1 of them for the Vette,since it's in the shade most of the day.
If we were in the city limits,I'd get ticketed for it,but since it's a private lot, in the "industrial" zone, there's not a problem.
If we do ever have a handicapped visitor (which hasn't happened in the last 15 years),the other spot is always free,and it's right next to the front door.
