Idiot Sightings

If you’re like me, there are days when you feel quite vague and start to question your intelligence ..... never fear,
read the following and you’ll realise you’re not doing so bad!

IDIOT SIGHTING:
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 note.

Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.

She said, 'you gave me too much money.'

I said,'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin 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 25c, and said 'We're sorry but

we don’t do that kind of thing.'

The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the people at Maccas.

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 made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.

He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'

I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'

We haven't used that repairman since. Happened in Ipswich, Qld.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I live in a semi rural area.

We recently had a new neighbour call the local council P & W office to request the removal of the WOMBAT CROSSING sign on our road.

The reason: 'Too many wombats are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

Story from Collingwood, Melbourne.

IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE:
My daughter went to a Mexican takeaway 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.'

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.

I was crossing with a co-worker of mine.

She asked if I knew what the beeper 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 is a government employee in Adelaide P.O.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car

after a service, 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’s 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 did that side.'

STAY ALERT!

They walk among us...
 
those are as funny AS THIS ONE
it reminds me of the bank robber that held up a bank with a note that said I HAVE A GUN PUT THE MONEY IN THE BAG AND NO ONE WILL BE HURT"

he got away for only a little while because the piece of paper he used to write his note was on his release form he was on parole and "ALL" his info was on it ENOUGH SAID RIGHT??
 
Well if any of you would ask my other half ( SuperHot) what is my favorite topic to discuss ,he would definitely tell you THIS ONE. :rofl: :rofl:

Upon my move to Vermont from Europe I was asked by Graduate student if my Native Country is near by Cambodia? :crazy: His question literally took my breath away and, of course me being pretty up front, had to ask him do I look as an Asian girl to you? :rofl: :rofl: Btw I have typical Mediterranean look. :rofl:
 
This is a true story...

Sometime last year I visited a fast food establishment and
ordered a meal. The cashier was a new employee and had the
misfortune to have her computerized cash register cease
working following me giving her my money. She had no idea
how much change to give me since the computer was down.

I said "The total is $7.37. I gave you $10. That's $2.63
in change." She was dumbfounded and went to seek out her
manager. The manager arrived and heard the story and also
appeared awestruck. I told her the same exact thing word
for word that I had just told the employee.

The manager left to go find the apparently errant calcu-
lator so that they could give me change for my $10. I
repeated myself again that I simply needed $2.63 in change.
Once the manager found the calculator and punched a few
buttons, she said "He needs $2.63 back." The employee
raised her eyebrows in apparent surprise and said "That's
exactly what he said!" as if she was astonished that some-
one could do simple calculations in their head.

I clenched both fists and buttocks and bit my tongue and
regretted the fact that the movie Idiocracy was coming
true before my very eyes...

Sad but true.
