IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
I live in a semi-rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor who called the
local township administrative office to request
the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road.
The reason: "too many deer were being hit by cars"
and he didn't want them to cross there anymore.
This one was 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 iceberg.
And he was a Kansas City chef!
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 when 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 who was leaving the company due to
downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully,
"this is fun We should do this more often."
Not a 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 life of her 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
mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's 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!"
To which he replied, "I know --- I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!
*and they walk among us ... and REPRODUCE
