Idiot Sighting
IDIOT SIGHTING #1
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the
clerk a £5 note. Our total was £4.20 so I also handed her a twenty pence
piece as well. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said 'Yes I know,
but this way you can just give me £1 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 20 pence and said 'We're sorry but we
could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back
80 pence in change..
Do not confuse the clerks at MacD's.
IDIOT SIGHTING #2
We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR 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
GARADOR 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
and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two..'
We haven't used Garador repair since.
IDIOT SIGHTING #3
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the
Highways Department 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 #4
My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried and ordered. She asked the person
behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but they
only had iceberg lettuce....
IDIOT SIGHTING #5
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an Irish airport employee
asked, 'Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?'
I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?' He smiled
knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'
Happened at Luton Airport ... UK
IDIOT SIGHTING #6
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I was
crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine. She asked if I
knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to blind people
when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind
people doing driving?!'
She is a Local County Council employee in Harrow, Middlesex , UK ....
IDIOT SIGHTING #7
When my husband and I arrived at our Local Ford dealer 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'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
fitter/mechanic, 'it's open!' His reply, 'I know, I already did that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in St Albans, Hertfordshire UK .....
