A walk on the lighter side…..
Be Careful Out There:
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 we cannot 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 MD’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. 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 driver
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 , MS.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
When I left Hawaii and was transferred to FL I still had the Hawaiian
plates on my car, as my car was shipped from Hawaii . I was parking
somewhere (I can’t remember) and a guy asked me “Wow, you drove from
Hawaii to here?” I looked at him and quickly said “Yep. I took the
Hawaii/San Francisco Bridge”. He nodded his head and said “Cool!”
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us… and they VOTE and they REPRODUCE……….
