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.

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 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.”

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:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker 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!  They walk among us… and the scary part is that they VOTE and REPRODUCE!
