They walk among us!!!!!!!!

Postby coonman » Fri Mar 20, 2009 9:55 am

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 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."

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 iceberg 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 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.




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


A lady pulled up to the bank drive-thru window and asked the cashier if they had any new calendars left. The cashier asked if she wanted the weekly or the monthly

calendar, and without missing a beat, the lady said she wanted one for the whole year!

She lives in Aurora, NE!!!LOL



STAY ALERT! They walk among us... and the scary
part is that they VOTE and they REPRODUCE.

I went into a hardware store once and asked for a metal yard stick.
The lady replied 3 foot or 4 foot

So I guess know one here has ever played "Stump the Reggin"? My favorite place to play is at McDonalds. You get something that you know how much it will be, tax and all. You then pay them in change, but not exact change. :twisted:

Example: If your total is $3.17, you give them $4.61 in pennies, dimes, and nickles. Then you sit back and watch as they call a manager in to help count it and then you get to laugh at the confused look on their face as they try to figure out if they miscounted and what your change is. :twisted:

Then you leave after getting your food and go somewhere else to get your supper because you probably won't want to eat what you got. :twisted:

If the birds are flying great, but if not, enjoy the time; at least you're not at work.

I had a coonass roommate in JC, one night he ordered a pizza over the phone. The lady asked if he wanted it cut in 8 or 12 slices. He said and I quote, "Better make it 8, I don't think I could eat 12." :shock:
