Yep......They Live Among Us
Sounds familiar...may have been around before but, in case you
missed
it....
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 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:
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:
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:
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 Sheriff's 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,
"It's open!" His reply, "I know. I
already got that side." This was at the Ford
dealership in Canton , MS .
IDIOT SIGHTINGS:
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) 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 REPRODUCE and
apparently they vote too.......... help the rest of us!
