[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 1111103, member: 36696"] There used to be a camera/photo shop on my route that had all of their chemicals, photo paper, and supplies sent by UPS because I was always on their block right when they opened at 11:00. Just inside their front door was a 6 inch step down to the store floor. There was enough room so that you could wheel a flat bed in, square it up and roll it down over the drop into the store. To the left of the front door were five rotating racks of greeting/birthday cards. Every week for 10 years I would load up my flatbed with 25 cases of supplies and wheel it in with no problem. For the most part when people see you with a six foot high stack of boxes on a cart they get out of your way. On this particular summer day it had started POURING rain from out of nowhere while I was loading up my flatbed. By the time I got to the store's front door I was soaked as well as most of the packages on the flatbed. Inside the shop was packed with people avoiding the sudden monsoon. As I was rolling the flatbed over the drop down a woman tried to squeeze by me to get out of the rain and I had to move it slightly to the side so it wouldn't land on her foot.....once the top started leaning over there was nothing I could do! It fell over, hit the first rack of cards which crashed into the second rack and before I knew it there literally THOUSANDS of cards flying through the air as all five racks, 25 packages, and my flatbed came crashing down in front of about 20 people! THEN the lady who caused it looked at me and said "Idiot!" and walked out! I offered to stay around and help them clean up but the owner was very understanding and basically said dont worry about it because his employees needed to earn their paychecks for once! LOL Three weeks later the step down was gone and a nice wide handicap accessible ramp was in its place....:-) [/QUOTE]
