Stupid People/ What The ....#4

Yesterday, on my way to a party, my friend asked me to stop at Long's so she could buy a card. I stayed in my car (my lovely two days old vehicle) with the AC on.
Out of the store walks a grandma, a young woman and two little boys. And a huge, really huge bunch of balloons. Grandma opens the small sedan's doors and everyone pitches in to shove the balloons into the backseat. Then the front seat. Then the proverbial light bulb goes on. Gee, how are we going to get the family home? Grandma gets on the phone while the rest are scratching their heads. Others, whom they seem to know come out of the store and more discussion ensues.
You noticed I said I'd left the car running with the AC on? That's because it was a 90' + day.
OK, so the young woman and boys go back into the store, presumably to keep cool. Grandma gets in another car with those, "others". I'm assuming they are off the find a larger vehicle. And no, they didn't take even some of the balloons with them.
Grandma is smart though because she locks the car up with the windows tight. (Nobody is stealing those balloons!) As she slams the door a final time I hear a pop. I'm sure there were only shreds of balloons when they came back. At least there was room to get the family home then.
That's what you get when you let stupid people buy balloons without plans on how to get them home. On a hot day!
