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.

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 lettuce. 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 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 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, "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 they REPRODUCE
