Idiots among us
Got this great email so I thought i'd pass it along through my blog.
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. This one was from Kingman, KS.

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.
And he was a Kansas City chef!

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." 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 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?!" She was a probation officer in
Wichita, KS

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. This was a
bunch at Texas Instruments.

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. 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'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."
This was at the Chevy dealership in Rock Hill, SC!
