Yeah, I came into work one morning and the flag was flying upside down. There's a phone direct to Security at the door where I used a card to open the door, and I picked it up. I asked Security, "OK, what's the emergency?" The guy said, "Wut?" "The American Flag is flying upside down, and that's the distress signal. Can I open the door?" "Oh crap! Yeah, we'll fix it!"
Sheit. Fer Chisakakes, who doesn't know how to fly a freakin' flag?

@Cyber Liberty I was at the local grocery store last week,and it was really raining hard when I was ready to leave. Myself and several others were standing inside the entrance waiting for the rain to slack off,and evidently the store manager told a employee that was maybe 18 years old to grab an umbrella and escort customers to their cars to keep them from getting wet.
Good plan,huh?
Not really. He came up to the woman standing next to me and very politely asked her if he could escort her to her car to keep her from getting wet. She said "Yes",so he pushed the button on the umbrella and pushed it all the way to the top. Went past the normal stop,and the umbrella looked like an upturned bowl.
So he says "The umbrella is broken,so i am sorry,but I will not be able to escort you to your car." I told him "No problem,give it to me and I will show you how to fix it."
He got mad or scared,I am not sure which,and backed away. I guess the manager was watching,so he came up and took the umbrella away and showed him how to fix it,and then told the guy to walk people to their cars.
I admit,I had never seen anyone who couldn't figure out how to work an umbrella before,and didn't even imagine they existed and were left to roam free.
