Title: IDIOT SIGHTING:

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.

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 Were 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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

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!

They walk among us... and the scary part is that they VOTE and
REPRODUCE and our enemies know it!!!
