Not mine, but interesting none the less, received via email, been around and started the new year off right. Makes you think?

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 we cannot 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 McDonald's.

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 are being hit by cars out here! I don't
think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

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 iceberg lettuce.

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:
We were having a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker, as 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 Sheriff's 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 driver 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 , MS (NO WONDER FORD'S IN TROUBLE!)
IDIOT SIGHTINGS:
When I left Hawaii and was transferred to Miami , Florida , I still had the
Hawaiian plates on my car, as my car was shipped from Hawaii . I was parking
somewhere (I can't remember) and a Latino guy asked me "Wow, you drove from
Hawaii to here?" I looked at him and quickly said "Yep. I took the Hawaii/San
Francisco Bridge". He nodded his head and said, "Cool"!
STAY ALERT! They walk among us...
