Idiots Among us!!!
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: 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.
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 I arrived at a car dealership
to pick up my car ,I was told the keys had been locked in it. I 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."
They walk among us.............. scary!!
