Idiot Sightings

IDIOT SIGHTINGS
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: many deer were being hit by cars and he no
longer wanted them to cross there.

IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE:
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the
individual behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry,
but they only had iceberg.

IDIOT SIGHTING #1:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee
asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I
said, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and
nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask."

IDIOT SIGHTING #2:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street. I
was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she
asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to
blind people when the light is red. She responded, appalled, "Why on earth
are blind people driving?"

IDIOT SIGHTING #3:
At a sad good-bye lunch for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the
company due to "downsizing," our manager spoke up and said, "This is fun
We should have lunch like this more often." Not another word was spoken. We
just looked at each other like deer staring into the headlights of an
approaching truck.

IDIOT SIGHTING #4:
I worked with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and for the life of her could not understand why her system would not turn on.

IDIOT SIGHTING #5:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our
car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally 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's side, I
instinctively tried the door handle and discovered it was open. "Hey," I
announced to the technician, "It's open!" "I know," answered the young man.
"I already got that side."



There, now, don't you feel better?
