An Oldie But Goodie






Be
Careful Out There:




IDIOT
SIGHTING
: 
We had to have the garage door
repaired.. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did
not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said
that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook
his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was
larger than 1/4. He said, 'NO, it's not.' Four is larger than two...' We haven't
used Sears repair since.


IDIOT
SIGHTING:

My
daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk
a $5 bill.. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, 'you
gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I
 know,
but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.'  She sighed and went to
get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me
back the quarter , and said 'We're sorry but they could not do that kind of
thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change..Do
not confuse the clerks at McD's.


  
 IDIOT
SIGHTING
 : 
I live in a semi rural area. We recently
had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the
removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are
being hit by cars out here! 
  I don't
think this is a good place for  them to be crossing anymore.' From Kingman , KS
. 
  

  

IDIOT
SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE
 : 
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell
and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal
lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce. 


 

IDIOT
SIGHTING
: 
I was at the airport, checking in at the
gate when an airport employee asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage
with
  out
your knowledge?' To which I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would
I know?' He smiled knowingly and nodded, 
'That's
why we ask..' 
Happened in
Birmingham , Ala.
  
 
  

IDIOT
SIGHTING
 : 
The
stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was
crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine. She asked if I knew
what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light
is red.. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing
driving?!' She was a probation officer in Wichita , KS  
 

 
 
IDIOT SIGHTING 
: 
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and
dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to 'downsizing.' Our manager
commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more often.' Not another
word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that
deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a lunch at Texas
Instruments..
   

  
   
IDIOT
SIGHTING 
: 
I work with an individual who plugged
her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't
understand why her system would not turn on. 
A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs
office, no less.
  

  

IDIOT
SIGHTING

When my husband and
I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys
had been locked in it.  We went to the service department and found a mechanic
working feverishly to unlock the driver side door.  As I watched from the
passenger side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was
unlocked.  'Hey,' I announced to the technician, 'its open!'  His reply, 'I
know.  I already got that side.'
 This
was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS

STAY
ALERT!

They
walk among us... And the scary part is that they

VOTE and they REPRODUCE
