Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half  dozen nuggets.

"We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter.

"You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply.

"So I can't order a half-dozen nuggets, but I can order  six?"

"That's right."

So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.

The  paragraph above doesn't amaze me because of what happened a couple of months ago. I was checking out at the local Foodland with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine.

I picked up one of those "Dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get  mixed.  After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "Divider" looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan  it.

Not finding the bar code she said to me "Do you know how much  this is?" and I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy  that today." She said "OK" and I paid her for the things and left. She  had no clue to what had just happened..... MAKES YOU WONDER HOW THESE PEOPLE CAN  SURVIVE!!!

A  lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When inquired as to what she was  doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept  asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I  recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car.  "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car.  Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenient store) would  have a battery to fit this?"

"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm too?" I asked.  "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing  it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked  the door, I replied "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."

Several  years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift.  One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost  out of typing paper.  What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her.

With that, the intern took her last  remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and  proceeded to make five "blank" copies.

I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in Twister."

I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.

IDIOTS AT  WORK... Sign in a gas station: Coke -- 49 cents. Two for dollar.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IDIOTS  & COMPUTERS... My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys  have a fire downtown?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

IDIOTS  ARE EASY TO PLEASE: I was sitting in my science class, when the teacher commented that the next day would be the shortest day of the year.  My lab partner became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I explained to her that the amount of daylight  changes, not the actual amount of time.  Needless to say, she was very disappointed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Police  in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the  copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought  the suspect wasn't telling the truth.  Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect  confessed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Life  is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid." :twitch:
