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    

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.

IDIOT    SIGHTING:  

 
 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   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. 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.

--  >From   Kansas  City     


 
 
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 inWichita , KS    

IDIOT   SIGHTING :  
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 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.   


   
 



How  would you  pronounce this child's name?   
 
         "Le-a"    

Leah??                   NO  
 Lee -  A??              NOPE  
 Lay -  a??               NO  
 Lei??                     Guess  Again.


This  child  attends a school in    Kansas City,   Mo.  Her mother is irate  because everyone is getting her name  wrong. 


It's   pronounced "Ledasha", When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation  of  the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."    
 
SO, if you  see something come across your desk  like this please remember to pronounce  the dash.  

If  dey axe  you why, tell dem de dash don't be  silent.

haha thats great, I have a bit of a funny story to share, my aunt is extremely anti-drugs, always has always will be. Anyway we were talking about prescription pain killers when my sister was pregnant (if i remember correct they were talking about pain killers to use in labor), somehow they ended up talking about a certain pain killer, my aunt then proceeds to say "im allergic to cocaine, that stuff is nasty"... after a good laugh my uncle says to her, when did u try cocaine.. apparently she ment to say codiene. kinda stupid but i think its funny.
