IDIOTS IN SERVICE
This week, My phone went dead and I had to contact the telephone
repair people. They promised to be out between 8:00 a.m. and
7:00 p.m. When I asked if they could give me a smaller time
window, the pleasant gentleman asked,
"Would you like us to call you before we come?"
I replied that I didn't see how he would be able to do that,
since our phones weren't working. He also requested that we
report future outages by email. I asked him,
"Does YOUR email work without a telephone line?"
IDIOTS AT WORK:
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed I had
never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She
informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless
the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was
necessary to compare the signature I had just signed on the
receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She
carefully compared the signature to the one I had just signed on
the receipt. As luck would have it,
they matched.
IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
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 were being hit by cars"
and he didn't want them to cross there anymore.

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.
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."
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?"
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.
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, "It's open!" To
which he replied, "I know - I already got that side."
