Subject: Idiot Sightings
>Sighting #1:
>
>I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee
>asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I
>said, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and
>nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask,"
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Sighting #2:
>
>The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street.
>I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine, when she
>asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to
>blind people when the light is red. She responded, appalled, "What on
earth
>are blind people doing driving?"
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Sighting #3:
>
>At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear coworker who is leaving the company
>due to "right sizing," our manager spoke up and said, "this is fun. We
>should have lunch like this more often." Not another word was spoken. We
just
>looked at each other like deer staring into the headlights of an
approaching
>truck.
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Sighting #4:
>
>I worked with an Individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and
>for the life of her could not understand why her system would not turn on.
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Sighting #5 (a rare "double sighting"):
>
>A friend had a brilliant idea for saving disk space. He thought if he put
all
>his Microsoft Word documents into a tiny font they'd take up less room.
When
>he told me I was with another friend. She thought it was a good idea too.
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Sighting #6 (from Tech Support):
>
>Tech Support: "How much free space do you have on your hard drive?" I
>individual: "Well, my wife likes to get up there on that Internet, and she
>downloaded ten hours of free space. Is that enough?"
>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>Sighting #7 (from Tech Support):
>
>Individual: Now what do I do?
>Tech Support: What is the prompt on the screen?
>Individual: It's asking for "Enter Your Last Name."
>Tech Support: Okay, so type in your last name.
>Individual: How do you spell that?
>**********************************************************
>Sighting #8 (from Auto Mechanic)
>
>When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our
car,
>we were told that the keys had been accidentally 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's side, I
instinctively
>tried the door handle and discovered it was open. "Hey," I announced to
the
>technician, "it's open!" "I know," answered the young man. "I already got
>that side."
