Idiots among us (possible repeat)

But wait, there's more...


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 were being hit

by cars" and he didn't want them to cross there anymore.

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.

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."

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street. I

was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine when 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?!"

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the

company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully, "this

is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was spoken. We all

just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself

and for the life of her 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'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, "it's open!" To which

he replied, "I know - I already got that side."







THEY WALK AMONG US......SCARY !!!!!!!!!!

There's a cool website called "Computer Stupidities" at http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/ where this story is cited as an actual event (the site is dedicated to real-life computer support humor). *EVERYWHERE* I've told this story, I've run into someone who has seen someone try it!

I worked on a help desk for a few years and collected many of these type stories. We called them ID 10 T errors. ID10T IDIOT.
