Idiot Sightings -

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 MacD's.

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 and he said, 'NO, it's not. Four is larger than two..'

We haven't used Sears repair since.

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.

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.

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:

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 they REPRODUCE

When I was fresh on a new client's site I went to lunch with of the employees who offered to drive since he had a handicapped plate. I couldn't see anything particularly wrong with the guy, but agreed. After getting back from one of the scariest rides of my life both to and from the restaurant I asked someone else if they knew why he had a handicapped plate. "Oh, he's nearly legally blind."

I'll tell one on me.

Back in the day, I had to investigate the collapse of a half-dozen or so chicken houses from a recent ice storm. I arrive in below freezing temps and the chicken carcasses are still everywhere. Thankfully, it was cold enough to minimize any decomp smell. As I looked at all the dead birds, I mentioned that I was glad that it wasn't the middle of August as the smell would have been terrible. The farmer looked at me and "Son, we hardly get any ice storms in August."

is this something you created? if so; nice thread.

One of my students submitted a plagiarized paper. When confronted with the evidence (it took about 30 seconds to find online), she swore that it was okay because she had purchased it. When I tried to explain to her why that wasn't allowed, she replied, "But I have the receipt!"

I called Avis to find out if I could rent a car in Atlanta, drive it to New Mexico, then drop it off in Phoenix? The response was I could drive it to Phoenix, but I could not take the car to New Mexico because the car must remain in the country.

After several unsuccessful tries to convince the Avis rep. that New Mexico was part of the US I asked to speak to the supervisor. The supervisor got on the phone and immediately informed me that I could not drive the car through New Mexico because I was not allow to take the car out of the US.

I also enjoy all the signs I've seen lately that say something costs $.01c.

I was once asked if Mt. Rushmore was carved.

I replied, "No, that's wind erosion".

She bought that answer.....and wasn't even blonde.

[jidar]

Hold on.. wait a minute I think I need to check the meter on this one..




Ohhhhh yeah.. yep, there it is. That's just what I thought.

I thought it was George Carlin who emailed these to a friend the night before he died.

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..'

My family and I were taking a tour of a navy cruiser down in San Diego. When the sailor showed us the harpoon she asked why they were hunting whales when she thought it was illegal.
