Idiot sightings

Postby Warmsoul/Jeanie13 » Thu Mar 18, 2010 3:59 pm

IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

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 .

IDIOTS 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. He was a Chef?
Yep...From Kansas City !

IDIOT SIGHTING:
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:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its 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 bunch at Texas Instruments.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and for the sake of her own 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 drivers 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 , Mississippi !

A friend of mine went on a job interview and was in the lobby with the manager who only had a few minutes to speak with him....
The manager asked the cashier what time it was and the cashier couldn't tell him because the clock wasn't digital.
My friend told him the time off the wall clock and was immediately hired.




I went to the department store and bought a few necessary items. The cashier put in the wrong amount and was unable to count back the correct amount of change. She called the floor manager who in turn gave me 90 dollars change from a hundred dollar bill on a 87 dollar purchase.


Both sad but very true stories.


ps... i gave the incorrect change back and showed them both how to count back money....

(((((((((((((( Obayan ))))))))))))))))))

Thank you for sharing. Funny, but not funny.

Honestly, don't ask me why, but when I pay for something, I somehow quickly have the changed figured in my mind. If it isn't what I came up with, I am not the one with error. And yes, I have been given too much change. LOL one clerk argued with me, called her manager over and HE had to show her that it was her error. I mean the cash register TOLD her how much to give me.....duh....
