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.

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 we cannot 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.

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."

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 iceberg lettuce.

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

We were having a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker, as 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.

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 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 a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver 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!" His reply, "I know. I already got that side. This was at the
Ford dealership in Canton, MS

When I left Hawaii and was transferred to Florida , I still had the Hawaiian
plates on my car, as my car was shipped from Hawaii . I was parking somewhere
(I can't remember) and a guy asked me "Wow, you drove from Hawaii to here?"
I looked at him and quickly said "Yep. I took the Hawaii/San Francisco Bridge".
He nodded his head and said, "Cool"!
STAY ALERT! They walk among us... they REPRODUCE..........and most importantly
THEY VOTE!!!!! Worse yet, they may one day comprise a jury of your peers.
