IDIOT SIGHTINGS
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.

My daughter and I went through th e 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 Mc D'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 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:
At 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 Sheriffs 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
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us...

This is a trick question Leos and Customs use, If you said no they would check your bags or Search your vehicle. The rest were pretty funny/stupid tho.

RE: IDIOT SIGHTINGS
When I was a kid we had a Famous Regional donut shop in town. ( Saps) now owned by Dolly Madison/ Interstate Brand. After church on Sunday we would always go and get a dozen donuts. The lady used a small piece of wax paper to pick up the donuts from the glass case and put them in the bag. My dad always asked her why she put her trash in on top of his donuts. I always felt embarassed for her. She didn't understand what he was talking about. Years later I got thinking about it, damn dad was right. If she had to use the wax paper to keeps the germs onher hand from getting on our clean donuts...WHY THROW THE CONTAMINATED PAPER ONTOP OF THE DONUTS???

I went through a Mcdonalds drive thru & ordered 2 plain cheeseburgers with nothing on them. The clerk said "all you want is cheese"? I responded correct, 2 plain cheeseburgers with nothing on them. When I got home &my daughter opened them she said, "where's the hamburgers"? I said, "I told her 2 plain cheeseburgers like you always get"."Butdad, there's no burgers just melted cheese on the bun"

My Dad went to MickeyD's one day and ordered 1/2 dozen chicken nuggets. The cashier replied, "Sorry sir, we only sell 6 and 12 packs."
She ended up crying by the time Dad was done. It's funny now, embarrassing then, but funny now.
