This reminds me of the time when I was a wee childe of fourteen summers or so, I partook in a drink of what I assumed to be vodka, but turned out to be petrol that my father had kept in a vodka bottle for reasons only beknownst to himself. What a day that was!
It wouldn’t set off panic and mass hysteria, ‘cos we women, driver and passengers alike, would get together on it, discuss all options, make a decision, make sure we still looked good in the process, and then ask a man what he thinks about the idea. Then laugh and do it our way, anyway.
Ah yes, but without the man’s stubborn refusal to change his mind, a woman’s ideas would never be accomplished as they leave too much time for self doubt to creep in! It’s partnership. Much better than a failboat!
*purrrrrrrr*
(Southern Belle style): You know we always rely on our men’s wondrous strength and dexterity to get us though.
*bats eyelashes, gives innocent look of worship*
You’re my hero; you know that, don’t you? I couldn’t survive without you. *kissy kissy kissy*
(snork) Hee!
I know, I wasn’t condemning or admonishing you for doing so, merely pointing out an example of a woman’s mind at work so that the young ‘uns could take heed and learn something useful from these here internets.
A few years ago my wife had changed her mind several times over something very important, driving me to despair. I made the mistake of complaining about this to a friend, by email. My wife accidenty the whole mail! (Insert appropiate doom soundtrack here).
So I definitely won’t be joining your discussion, no sirree.
Ouch! You’d probably have been better telling your wife straight out that her indecision was troubling you. Of course, that might not be true of your wife as I don’t know her (I don’t think), so it’s really throw away advice, my specialty!
Shouldn’t there be a verb in there? for instance, shouldn’t it say “My wife accidentally found the whole mail!” And, shouldn’t you have spelled accidentally correctly?
Some people, believe it or not, don’t speak English as their first language! So, if you need to point out their mistakes to boost your own ego, please be polite about it. Thank you.
Hi Czuhc! Although I’m not well known here, may I take the liberty of providing you with a heartfelt *squeeze* ~ along with my most earnestly practiced *snappy salute*
I began life in FB as foop. One day, WN asked if I was a ’swell foop’ (as in, one fell swoop…flip-flopped, as it were) and so I was. Thereafter, oh-silly-me discovered “Special ALT” characters, and with no idea that anyone might actually take my lettering literally… hmmm …. I believe I may have answered a question that wasn’t officially asked, but the perplexed look on your face compelled me to do that very thing. (please stop, foop – this is far too long a post as it is!) *apologies to everyone who didn’t immediately decide tl;dr*
Haven’t heard the English expression, but the direct translation is “Bauernfrühstück”, which indeed is a meal (scrambled eggs, bacon, potatos). Quite tasty!
*power goes out and strange images flash whilst crazy midget laughter begins*
There’s no certain way of knowing….
Which direction we are going….
There’s no knowing where we’re going….
Or which way the rivers flowing….
Is it raining? Is it snowing?
Is a hurricane a-blowing?
Not a speck of light is showing,
so the danger must be growing.
Are the fires of hell a-glowing?
Is the gristly reaper mowing?!
YES! The danger MUST be growing!
FOR THE ROWERS KEEP ON ROWING!
AND THEY CERTAINLY AREN’T SHOWING
ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!!!
*screams incomprehensibly*
Stop the bus!
Love that song. My first comment on Fail Blog by the way. Be gentle!
I took this picture in Edmonton. It’s not shopped. We were all laughing our asses off as we went by and I figured failblog would like to be in on the fun.
I totally disagree! This is a WIN on several levels.
First: Driver is admitting he’s lost. That never happens.
Second: The sign maker put that in the scroll in the first place!
Third, and best for me: The Driver KNEW it was on option and used it.
Either that or its a tour bus and the tour people typed in a scroll out of sheer boredom. And when you’re living in a large car, you can get pretty bored.
The companies that sell the little glowy signs sell a fixed number of different ‘masks’. If the company who owns the coach only needs 12 or the 15 ‘masks’ for route identification, then the rest can be filled in at the drivers’ discretion.
I learned this touring with a choir where some days we would have ‘Lost’ on our sign and other days ‘Help’ and even ‘Undercover.’
i spent the summer on tour with a drum corps and we basically lived on a bus the whole time. we one day discovered that our bus’ “mask” thing let you type in words for where ever you were going… it proved to be very ammusing and got us the weirdest looks at times we used “we’re lost” quite a bit.
YES! I was just going to say that I’m almost positive this is a Cavaliers bus. When I marched corps, our bus always had the “driver is blind” sign up there.
True story – way back when, driving through Wyoming I passed a Greyhound bus with “LOST” on the display over the front window. Barely got a shot of it with a super-8 film camera.
This is photoshopped I can by the artifacting around the sign it is photoshopped. Someone probably saw a bus with a sign like that but couldnt take a pic. So decided to make one.
Actually, this was an honest case of either sheer boredom of the driver or sheer boredom of the closest, smartest passenger. I did that once, with a memory card that said “make way or under the bus you go”. Nobody suspected a four year old messed up the sign.
I was on a tour bus once that got lost in Buffalo. But we finally found Alumni Arena and proceeded to invade it and watch our basketball team destroy theirs…

Yess! We have a bus, now we can go anywhere the road takes us…except left.
You spin me right round, baby right round

That’s ok. 51% of turns are right, anyways.
That’a more than half.
*That’s*
*applauds looney for being a fullblooded genius*
Its a fact that 80% of quoted facts are made up.
or right
Two wrongs don’t make a right…but three lefts do. Sooooo… *scratches head* three rights would make a left?
How many wrongs to make a left?
You have to be careful where you take the left turns though. It’s real easy to end up a block off.

Not.
No, I’m pretty sure it’s not the first tour bus to get lost.
It is the first to land on failblog for it.

A brave but futile attempt to get the attention of overflying planes.
Lost? Can I help?
…I don’t know about anyone else, but that is complete win for me. It must be a woman driver, since a man would never admit it. <3 (KIDDING.)
Hahaha! So right. (NOT kidding!)
So you both would admit the mistake, even if this would set off panic and mass hysteria?
It wouldn’t set off panic and mass hysteria, ‘cos we women, driver and passengers alike, would get together on it, discuss all options, make a decision, make sure we still looked good in the process, and then ask a man what he thinks about the idea. Then laugh and do it our way, anyway.
She’s right. Although they probably wouldn’t laugh at the man’s idea, because they wouldn’t listen in the first place!
And then change your mind without telling anyone, huh?
It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind, it’s a man’s duty to make up his.
I thought that was also the woman’s duty! Teehee
No, it’s a woman’s duty to make sure the man makes up his mind just right.
And that he wears matching socks.
GV, that’s what I meant! :p
Sawyer, matching socks would only be the start. I’m surprised you lot can even get dressed in the morning. hehe
I gave up dressing a long time ago.
Ah yes, but without the man’s stubborn refusal to change his mind, a woman’s ideas would never be accomplished as they leave too much time for self doubt to creep in! It’s partnership. Much better than a failboat!
I can agree to that!
*purrrrrrrr*
(Southern Belle style): You know we always rely on our men’s wondrous strength and dexterity to get us though.
*bats eyelashes, gives innocent look of worship*
You’re my hero; you know that, don’t you? I couldn’t survive without you. *kissy kissy kissy*
(snork) Hee!
*through^
See, there you are; changing you mind!
It’s written in stone: ‘It’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind.’
I know, I wasn’t condemning or admonishing you for doing so, merely pointing out an example of a woman’s mind at work so that the young ‘uns could take heed and learn something useful from these here internets.
A few years ago my wife had changed her mind several times over something very important, driving me to despair. I made the mistake of complaining about this to a friend, by email. My wife accidenty the whole mail! (Insert appropiate doom soundtrack here).
So I definitely won’t be joining your discussion, no sirree.
Wuss!
Ouch! You’d probably have been better telling your wife straight out that her indecision was troubling you. Of course, that might not be true of your wife as I don’t know her (I don’t think), so it’s really throw away advice, my specialty!
*snorkity the tequila through the nose-edy!
Hahaha! *squeeze*
Shouldn’t there be a verb in there? for instance, shouldn’t it say “My wife accidentally found the whole mail!” And, shouldn’t you have spelled accidentally correctly?
Some people, believe it or not, don’t speak English as their first language! So, if you need to point out their mistakes to boost your own ego, please be polite about it. Thank you.
Actually, dear Sidhe, “we always rely on our men’s wondrous strength and dexterity to get us, though…” is also true!
*heehee*
Quite so! *squeeze*
I’m lost between a lot of people I don’t know.
HELLOOOO ?
Hi Czuhc! Although I’m not well known here, may I take the liberty of providing you with a heartfelt *squeeze* ~ along with my most earnestly practiced *snappy salute*
Much appreciated, em…Sh?…we -something-?…foop/th????
*squeeze*
No need to apologize.
I like your “þ”. It looks like a “p” but is pronounced “th”.
You neglected to mention that you also were briefly known as “just swell”!
I understand all but “tl;dr” now I’m confused!
The Lost Drivers Route?
To Leave Da Room?
That’s one of Arthur’s: tl;dr = too long; didn’t read
Wasn’t my invention. Hello all!
I did wonder if you’d invented t’internets too!
*jammy blog squeeze*
Hello Arthur! How are you on this glorious day?!
SF: But I like to read!
Yay! Me too. (I just worry that I shall cause others’ death by ‘whelmingoverwordiness when my keyboard runneth away like that.) :S
What kind of books do you read? (If people are overwhelmed by words, then they need to get past it!)
*squeeze* Thank you, GV, luv. Mostly good fiction. I do love a story I can get “lost” in . . . pun intended!
*squeeze*
Horror? fantasy? Romance? Or just whatever comes your way? Do you have any particular authors you prefer?
Mornin’ AE ~ should have mentioned it was you who I first saw use it . . . * goof *
You have the same impeccable timing as Mr Cuddles!
*wonders if Cuddles will show up now*
I doubt that since he’s on his vacation.
*squeezes everyone*
All aboard the failbus…
“We’re Lost“?
I hate it when fans think they’re part of the show.
What are you talking about, Hugo?
You know that stupid TV show called Lost?
No, I’m lost!
Not as long as you stay with me, Freckles!
(godd morning!)
Something you’re not telling us James?
(Morning!)
Glad to know someone else noticed godd was hogging the mornings!
Godd help me but I don’t have freckles.
*storms off into the jungle*
I’m not Lost. I’m My Own Worst Enemy
I’m my own worst anemone.
You’ve had the worst enema?
What’s a good enema?
A normal evacuation?
An enema is always anathema.
Die Schlüsselmaschine E ?
The E button? I’ve got to start trying to learn German! (google translate says ‘the key machine E’, but that sounds wrong!)
Google’s an enigma isn’t it?
No, just a very large number.
I think I need to wear googols to see all those noughts.
Fail at bus sign. The sign is supposed to say where the bus is going, so in this case it should say “Don’t know”.
Pedantism win!
As am I most times.
I once was lost, but now I’m found.
At least they’re honest…
Anpu admires their honesty.
Where does it go?
Where does it stop?
Roll up, roll up for the mystery tour
Is it a magical mystery tour?
The magical mystery tour is waiting to take you away.

But, but, it’s my half term holiday…
*eyes fill with tears*

A reasonable excuse I suppose, but why aren’t you studying?!
Don’t put too much pressure on him. BFF – okay, you’re excused. And welcome!
*sniffs*
Thankee, Arthur. I’m just popping in to say hi. I have to get back to this confounded German translation my teacher has set me.
If you need help…
I’ll be fine, but thanks anyway.
Damn you Irregular tense!
*shakes fist at homework*
It’s better anyway if you do it by yourself.
Okay, just one thing then.
What’s a “Farmer’s breakfast” in German?
Haven’t heard the English expression, but the direct translation is “Bauernfrühstück”, which indeed is a meal (scrambled eggs, bacon, potatos). Quite tasty!
Thanks very much. Your description matches what’s on the paper.
OK, who are you and what have you done with BFF? The real BFF would have ran out of the room while crying.
Then who was the BFF runing out of the room while screaming?
*walks into room*
Has anyone seen my two body doubles? I-
Hey, why is that one sobbing? And why can I hear shrieking?
I think KoKing needs to apply for a federal bailout to buy a better sense of humor.
I think that bus is my life.

I laugh. A LOT!
AuaHAUhahUHAUhahUAHUhuHA
Geeze. The definition of “fail” is not “a joke I don’t get.” LOTS of that here lately.
I totally disagree! This is a WIN on several levels.
First: Driver is admitting he’s lost. That never happens.
Second: The sign maker put that in the scroll in the first place!
Third, and best for me: The Driver KNEW it was on option and used it.

True true
Either that or its a tour bus and the tour people typed in a scroll out of sheer boredom. And when you’re living in a large car, you can get pretty bored.
This seems to be photoshopped
It isn’t.
I’m glad you have some sense, sir! Its tiring to read all these accusations!
This isn’t a fail at all.
The companies that sell the little glowy signs sell a fixed number of different ‘masks’. If the company who owns the coach only needs 12 or the 15 ‘masks’ for route identification, then the rest can be filled in at the drivers’ discretion.
I learned this touring with a choir where some days we would have ‘Lost’ on our sign and other days ‘Help’ and even ‘Undercover.’
I saw a bus with “Damned if I know” on it once. I thought it was cute. They can put several stock phrases on them.
i spent the summer on tour with a drum corps and we basically lived on a bus the whole time. we one day discovered that our bus’ “mask” thing let you type in words for where ever you were going… it proved to be very ammusing and got us the weirdest looks at times
we used “we’re lost” quite a bit.
YES! I was just going to say that I’m almost positive this is a Cavaliers bus. When I marched corps, our bus always had the “driver is blind” sign up there.
were there normally that many girls around the Cavaliers’ bus?
This is more of a WIN then a fail.
WIN WIN WIN
Yea I posted a picture of one of those lost tour buses last year. OLD.
Fail fail. Is WIN!
I wish I could have a sign like this on my car…
That´s not a fail, is an EPIC WIN!

This is a most definite WIN!!!!
This is the first fail that actually made me laugh in a while.
this picture should be a “WIN”!!
