Idiot Sighting

[LAF]

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.

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 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 ' s

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
