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.

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