Idiot Sightings

Good for a laugh anyways.......

IDIOT SIGHTING #1:

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 #2:

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 we cannot 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 #3:

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 #4:

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.

From Kansas City .


IDIOT SIGHTING #5:

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when an airport
employee asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage
without 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 #6:


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 #7:

We were having a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear
coworker, as 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 #8:

I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into
itself and for the her life of her, couldn't understand why her
system would not turn on.

A deputy at the County Sheriff's office, no less.


IDIOT SIGHTING #9:

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, "It's open!" His reply, "I know. I already got
that side.
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS .(The
government probably kept this one in business with stimulus
money.)


IDIOT SIGHTING #10:

When I left Hawaii and was transferred to Florida, I still
had the Hawaiian plates on my car, as my car was shipped from
Hawaii. I was parking somewhere (I can't remember where) and
a guy asked me "Wow, you drove from Hawaii to here?" I looked
at him and quickly said "Yep. I took the Hawaii/San Francisco
Bridge". He nodded his head and said "Cool!"


STAY ALERT! They walk among us..... they VOTE, they REPRODUCE and they believe in Global Warming...
