Idiot Sighting/ Everywhere
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 3 quarters. 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 quarters, 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 iceburg 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 as 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
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.
STAY ALERT!
