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 ½ horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a ¼ 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 they 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.'

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.

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 co-worker 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:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker: 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 drivers 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, 'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I already got that side.'

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi




and here's your sign

i think the best one was the dealership one

and my Idiot Sighting today was...

went thru McDonalds drive thru and ordered two sweet teas....

I expected the ole "want fries with that??", but nnnnnnooooooo
instead I got "Would you like a drink with that??"

hhhhmmmm nope, I think those 2 will suffice, thanks

i got this one all the time when I worked at a retail store. with my uniform and name tag on there is always someone who asks"do you work here?" I always wanted to say, "nope, I beat up the register operator and took their nametag!!"

My first remote control for the TV I was sssoooo amazed (had bought a used TV from someone when moving into first apartment...came with the remote...)

A few months later it quit working.

I went into work and asked a buddy, "Hey where do I get a new remote for my TV?"
He asked why. I told him that my old one quit working.
He asked if I checked the batteries.

That night, I went home and got it out of the trash and YEP, sure enough -- there's batteries in them suckers!!

They have never let me forget that one!

Here's Your Sign!!

Don't you hate it when you're broke down on the side of the road and someone comes up to & says, "Hi! Are you having car trouble?" Ummmm no... I'm just standing here looking under the hood of my car for my health.. sheesh...

Funny Stuff!

There is local McDonalds here with a sign under the drive through window that says::

We Have Menus Available In Brail

I work at a retail store for over 10 years now, went into a competitors store wearing my uniform, pushing a shopping cart with my purse and merchandise in it and my grand sons, lady walks up and asked if I could go in the back to check for an item for her..... so I replied I could if I worked here, she just stood there looking at me for a minute .... Then walks away saying the employees here are so rude. Almost pissed my pants on that one!

Um...sorry to ruin this one, but...if you're blind, someone else is going to be driving you. They would read the sign...

I went through a fast food resturant drive thru,
and the lady at the intercom asked me if my order
was to go...

(True story)

This has happened to me before.

Me too!!!


Or the one time I went in to order since the drive thru line was ssooooooo long...I ordered like 20 meals (for a group of people that needed supper.....).
I was obviously alone, by myself in line...reading off a list in my hand.

"Is that for here or to go??"

Na, I'll sit here and gorge myself for a few hours.

That same thing happened to me one time, though the woman realized I didn't work in that particular store after I said "umm...probably not..."
