Here is a true collection of idiotic things people are doing everyday..as sent to me by email..
Can you add to this list?


Be Careful Out There:

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 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.'

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 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 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... and the scary part is that they VOTE and
they REPRODUCE !

I think I should have read them during the day, my folks are asleep upstairs and I burst out laughing reading these, I'm sure they must have heard me, so although I reply now I will savour the rest of them tomorrow because they sure did put a smile on my face and when Wolfie laughs, it's a belly laugh and I'm biting my tongue here, so I'll blame you if I get tetanus LOL! Thanks for sharing, I loved the Macdonalds one, classic, big hugs xxxx

That is so funny and so true. We all have our moments sometimes, but some of these are a way of life for people, hehe. This reminds me of my granddaughter, we were driving by a car factory, she said look gramma all them people who work there drive new jeeps. Thats where they were parking the just finished jeeps. Here is another one from my granddaughter. We were at the grocery store. I was going to buy some canned chicken. She said her gramma here is some chicken of the sea. I said that was tuna. She started to cry, she doesn't eat sea food and thought that was chicken. She liked the chicken of the sea, now that she knows what it is she won't eat it.

Ahhhhhahahahaha!...Those were hysterical and I almost spit my coffee all over my computer!...Thanks for giving me something to laugh all day about before I head to work.

Which reminds me, I'll try and explain this but don't know if you'll quite understand what I'm saying.

I work for a shoe store and we had a sale going which was buy two pairs and get one free.

I had a lady who did exactly this...bought two pair and received her free pair. A couple days later she came back with her daughter wanting a refund on the two pairs she paid for. I told her in order to give her a refund she would have to bring back the free pair. She kept insisting on wanting the refund without giving back the free pair. This went on for like ten, fifteen minutes.

To make a long story short, she and her daughter actually thought as long as she bought two pairs of shoes, the free pair was hers to keep no matter what..........duh.

I hope I explained that right for you to get my drift....and yes, that could be added to your IDIOT SIGHTING plus yes, she did reproduce.......scary thought.

I don't know if this was an idiot sighting or a bunch of people joking around.

A potential customer asked, "Do you serve crabs?"

One of the restaurant employess replied, "Yes, we serve ALL kinds of people."

This took place in a Chinese restaurant.

Another incident was someone changing his mind in soup choices. Two of the choices that were on a list were chicken & pea soup. At first, he wanted chicken soup. As the waiter walked away, the customer called out to him, & yelled across the restaurant dining area, "Hold the chicken! Make it pea!"
