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 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 iceburg 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.

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
STAY ALERT!

I think that they should start instituting inteligence tests before people are allowed to re-produce! The world is getting less and less intelligent everyday.

Sorry, I had to.
Good read, may go poof though.
Hard to believe that a repair man, with mechanical knowledge spit that out.
I don't recall the exact time or place, but I remember someone that thought the Sun orbited around the Earth, and they were
completely serious.

I went to discount tire to get a tire patched.
I watched as the guy struggled to lift the tire onto the locking hub then he slamed it a few times before the studs were in line with the pattern on the rim. I was thinking "geez you're gonna mess up the studs"
When I went to pay the guy said "you're trucks missing a stud and you had an extra lug nut" and he hands me the lug nut.
I said "I had all the studs when I brought it, where do you think the extra lug nut was" The guy looked stumped!
They hadn't dropped the jack yet, I grabbed the tire and it wouldn't turn because they had knocked the stud in and it was jamming on the brake caliper.

I once asked my wife if she wanted to renew our vows, she got all excited thinking that they had expired.

I had a science teacher once tell the class that mold was an oxidation.
I objected and stated that mold was a living process (life) not a simple chemical reaction.
He got mad at me and stated that mold is not life, its more like rust.
After that, I stated that I disagreed and would not change my mind. Grade suffered... oh well...
