IDIOTS AT WORK...
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never
signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete
the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was
necessary tocompare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the
receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared that signature to the
one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.
IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
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: many deer were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there.
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the individual behind
the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg.
IDIOT SIGHTINGS Sighting #1:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee asked, "Has anyone
put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I said, "If it was with out my
knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask."
IDIOT SIGHTINGS Sighting #2:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an
intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was
for. I explained that it signals to blind people when the light is red. She responded, appalled,
"What on earth are blind people doing driving?"
IDIOT SIGHTINGS Sighting #3:
At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear coworker who is leaving the company due to
"downsizing," our manager spoke up and said, "this is fun. We should have lunch like this
more often." Not another word was spoken. We just looked at each other like deer staring into
the headlights of an approaching truck.
IDIOT SIGHTINGS Sighting #4:
I worked with an Individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of
her could not understand why her system would not turn on.
IDIOT SIGHTINGS Sighting #5:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told
that the keys had been accidentally 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's side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered it was open. "Hey," I
announced to the technician, "It's open!" "I know," answered the young man.- "I already got that
side." There, now, don't you feel better?
