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.

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 I owed $4.25 and he was sorry but they could not 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 k nowledge?" 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 w ith 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 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 instincti vely 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

Re: They lurk AMONG US!
Thank you for those sightings. Here's one we had recently.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
We were sitting in the food court of the local mall near a sandwich shop that had a large banner with the days special of a vegetarian sandwich prominently displayed. Two uniformed female students in their early twenties came up to the shop. The first asked what the days special was. Vegetarian sandwich, the cashier replied. What type of meat does it have?, she asked. None, the cashier replied, Its a vegetarian sandwich. Oh, Ill have a tuna sandwich then, she said. Her friend who had heard all this then came up to the cashier and asked, What do you have on special?. Vegetarian sandwich, the cashier replied. What type of meat does it have?, she asked. None, the cashier replied, Its a vegetarian sandwich. Oh, Ill have a turkey sandwich then, she said. The cashier looked at us and rolled his eyes.
Scary thing is they were nursing students from the local community college.

Re: They lurk AMONG US!
True story, FIRST HAND...Im a bartender. It was a very busy night and 2 'new' guys walked in. I waited on them as soon as I was able to. After greeting them and asking them what they would like, One of them asked 'What brand of bottled water do you have.' I said 'Crystal Geyser'. He than asked...'What does it taste like'. I said mostly 'Wet' , but a bit 'watered down'... he than said he didnt understand what i was talking about. I said probably not.

I worked in a small bar and grill covering all positions at one time or another. Here are some of the best I can remember.
1. Can I have a virgin screwdriver?
2. Is Foster's Lager a pilsner beer?
3. Are your ribs boneless?

Re: They lurk AMONG US!
The really sad thing is, they tend to breed more than those with above-average intelligence. It's a good thing there's never been any conclusive proof that idiot parents have idiot kits, or else the world would be in trouble.
(Wait, what do you mean the world's already in trouble? Huh... maybe there's something to that after all.)

Don't they have ditch digging machines now days?
Is it my imagination or did this thread change its date? I could have sworn that I read the first message a few months ago.
