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. Â 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."
From Kingman , KS

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. 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, "it's 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:lmao:

It'll make ya feel good..
That's hillarious! The funny thing about it is, that I completely understand and have expierienced the " making correct change thingy " on several occasions. I have even had the people ask me, " How much money do you want back? " I told the one girl, 40 dollars. She went to hand me two twenty dollar bills. I didn't accept them, ( being a cop is hard sometimes ) but I explained that if my bill comes to 5.35 cents, and I give you a 10 with a quarter and a dime, I am supposed to get back a five dollar bill. LOL Hopefully they will pick up on it sooner or later. :lmao:

I went to KFC in Jacksonville, Fl a few years ago when they used to sell the oven roaster chicken. The portion sizes were: whole chicken, half chicken or quarter chicken. I asked (or should that be axed) for a whole chicken. The counter girl came back with the manager who informed me that they were out of the whole chicken servings. I asked what they had left and was informed that they only had a half chicken and two quarter chicken servings left. I tried to convince her that she did have a whole chicken but I don't think she ever beleived me, so I told her to just give me what she had and I would work out the servings when I got home.

My favorite story was at a Subway in the Keys about 5 years ago. Bunch of us ordered sandwiches, only to find out that they had no bread. The doofus behind the counter didn't seem to think it was a problem, and had the nerve to be offended when we cancelled our orders and walked out!

I also got that same reaction when I walked out of the Solomons B.K. because they were out of cheeseburgers. And fries. :lmao:

Last time I went to the Solomons KFC, they were out of chicken. Kind of pointless to stay open, don't you think?

Reminds me of when I worked Fraud & Tech Support for Alltel! I had this woman on the phone for 45 minutes who could make calls but not receive them. I tried everything including rebuilding the phone' information in our Switch Manager. Finally I apologized for not being able to fix the problem and advised her to power the phone off to save the battery and bring it in for a new one. She asked "You mean it has to be on for me to get a call?":doh:

I was at Wendy's in California when someone got an order like that. Three guesses what 80's commercial catch phrase that customer could not resist using....:killingme
