I think I need a WTF / Stupid People category.. What a dumbass!

What do you get when you try to pass a 15-foot, 9-inch tractor-trailer under a bridge with a posted 14-foot clearance?

A least $100,000 in damage and one of Nashville's main interstate arteries closed from 9:45 a.m. until about 2:30 p.m.

Yesterday morning marked the eighth time since 1991 that the Demonbreun Street overpass above Interstate 40 had been hit by a tractor-trailer carrying an oversized load, said Kim Keelor, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

MTSU Police Officer Dragged By Shoplifting Suspect's Car
Topic: Local Information 7:14 am EDT, Jun 26, 2004

An off-duty MTSU Police officer says he was injured Wednesday trying to stop a shoplifter.
Sergeant Matt Foster knows he is lucky to be alive after he was dragged several feet by a car. 
The MTSU Police officer left work Wednesday afternoon and went shopping at the Wal-Mart Supercenter on South Rutherford Boulevard in Murfreesboro.  He was still wearing his uniform. 
...
Since Foster was off duty, his employer cannot pick up his medical costs.  And Wal-Mart told him it will not pay those costs either.  So, for now, Foster is paying for anything not covered by his insurance.   
He hopes to return to work in a couple weeks but it could take much longer.

Nice appreciative company that Wal Mart.... Just one more reason I am glad I don't give them ANY patronage. Big impersonal retailers that price cut to push out any small business competition are a part of many problems with this company. In this case, you get what you pay for... Nothing.
