IDIOT SIGHTING: I 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 nee d 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: 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 ____________________ IDIOTS 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. He was a Chef? Yep...From Kansas City ! ____________________ IDIOT SIGHTING: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, "Has anyone pu t 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 its 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 bunch at Texas Instruments. ____________________ IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her own 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 t hey REPRODUCE! I got these in an email today...but actually just had my own sighting... I went to the local KFC and ordered a Buscuit Bowl and a Diet Coke. Then the girl asks "would you like a buscuit with that?" Uhmmm yes it comes with it doesn't it?? She replies yes, and you wanted a diet coke? I said yes. Then she asks would you like to make it a combo? I said is it cheaper as a combo or separate? She said it's cheaper as a combo.... Uhmmm yes then make it a combo. Then I drive up to the window after waiting for the car ahead of me. The same girl says did you want ice in your root beer? I said no put it in my Diet Coke. She got all huffy...and said do you want coke or root beer? I said very frustrated by now..."read my lips...Diet Coke please" Then she tells me I don't need to be rude....oh boy. Have you had any recent sightings?
