Idiot Sighting

IDIOT SIGHTING:
We had to have the garage door repaired. The 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 B&D 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 this tradesman since……

My daughter and I went through the McDonald’s drive thru window and I gave the teen a $20 note. Our total was $10.50, so I also handed her a fifty cents clunker. She said, ‘you gave me too much money.’ I said, ‘not really, but this way you can just give me ten dollars 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 fifty cents, and said ‘We’re sorry but we can’t do that kind of thing.’
The teen then proceeded to give me back $9.50 in change. Do not confuse the teenagers at McD’s.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local council office to request the removal of the Kangaroo sign on our road.
The reason: ‘Too many kangaroos 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 Hungry Jack’s and ordered a burger. 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.’

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it’s safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged collegue 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?!’

IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear friend. 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 animal-in-the-headlights stare.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power board back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn’t understand why her computer would not turn on.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband and I arrived at a 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.’
STAY ALERT! They walk among us… And the scary part is that they VOTE, they REPRODUCE, and they live close by.
