Lessons Learned – Week of August 22, 2010

If you haven’t seen this video by now, you probably haven’t been anywhere near the internet in the last couple weeks.

Melodi Dushane, from Toledo, OH, was so frustrated that she couldn’t order chicken nuggets – because the restaurant was serving breakfast – that she attacked the member of staff. On the surveillance video, which was released by police, Dushane, 25, gets out of her car and goes on a rampage. The best part of the video is after she pulls away, it’s business as usual at this McDonald’s when the next customer pulls up and is served no problem.

Lesson Learned: I thought I got irritable when I’m hungry! Melodi had an Unhappy Meal that night and was served with two months in jail and a year’s probation. Fast food fury!

On Wednesday, an 1,100 pound bull leaped out of a bullring in Tafalla, northern Spain and charged into a crowd of spectators. Some 40 people were injured, but nobody was killed. The bull had already twice tried to jump the barrier during the event, breaking one of his horns, and was about to be removed from the arena when he launched himself into the crowd.

Lesson Learned: Don’t provoke an 1,100 pound bull. You play with fire, you’re going to get burned.

Amazingly, the biggest story in the news this week is Steven Slater, aka, the rogue JetBlue flight attendant who lost his mind after a rough day on the job.

 It is a hard-to-beat story: Going off on a passenger, grabbing a couple of beers and sliding down a parked plane’s emergency chute to end his 20 year career as a flight attendant.

In lieu of this spectacle, this week’s lesson learned is themed, “A Bad Day In the Office”

Lesson Learned: Come up with a creative way of venting your frustrations after a bad day at work and you might be an overnight celebrity too.
