    Idiot sightings!!!

    IDIOT SIGHTING






    I handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00
    I said "May I have large bills, please"
    She looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same size."
    When I got up off the floor I explained it to her....

    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, 'it's open!' His reply: 'I know. I already got that side.'
    This was at the Ford dealership in Canton,MS

    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 we 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..






    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 who 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.

    How would you pronounce this child's name?
    "Le-a"
    Leah?? NO
    Lee - A?? NOPE
    Lay - a?? NO
    Lei?? Guess Again.






    This child attends a school in Kansas City, Mo.





    Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.





    It's pronounced "Ledasha".





    When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."
    SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash.

    Oh dear. It's like when my mom figured out how to forward those "I know this sounds crazy, but it's true" chain emails all over again, but in the forums. Also, just throwing this out there to help you, but changing colour every paragraph with centre-justification and sporadic line spacing makes this post look like a 14-yo girl's Myspace post straight from 2005.

      That was funny.

      I think I have met some of those people.

        A little idiot sighting from my cousin in Oslo:

        He was working as Tech support for a government company(only the more basic stuff tho).
        As he sat in his office he was called by a lady claiming that her screen refused to turn on.
        He told her to check if the computer was running as it should and if the light on the PC was on? She responded with a clear "Yes", and seemed to get a bit frustrated.
        He then asked if she had made sure that the screen was plugged in properly - once again she said "Yes!" and was beginning to feel patronized.
        "Please come down here and fix it!" she asked him - and as he made his way down there(a 10 minute walk) he was constantly thinking about what might be the issue.
        So finally he arrived at the workstation and asked her to show what she did and she pressed on the front panel of the screen.
        My cousin looked at her, overwhelmed with how stupid she was, and pressed underneath the pc-screen.

        Apparently this woman had been pressing the sticker above the power-button for 30 minutes.
