    Idiot Sighting....

    IDIOT SIGHTING

    You may know some of these people, you may even work with them.

    IDIOT SIGHTING #1
    My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I
    gave the clerk a £5 note. Our total was £4.20, so I also handed her a
    twenty pencepiece as well.
    She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
    I said,'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me £1 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 20 pence and said 'We're
    sorry but we could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change..

    Do not confuse the clerks at MacD's.

    We had to have the garage door repaired.. The GARADOR repairman told us thatone 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 GARADOR
    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 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not.
    Four is larger than two..'

    We haven't used Garador repair since.

    I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the
    Highways Department 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.'

    My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried and ordered. 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?' I replied, 'If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?'
    He smiled knowingly and nodded, 'That's why we ask.'

    Happened at Luton Airport...UK

    The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.
    I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine. She
    asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to blind
    people when the light is red.
    Appalled, she responded, 'What on earth are blind people doing
    driving?!'
    She is a Local County Council employee in Harrow, Middlesex, UK....

    When my husband and I arrived at our Local Ford dealer 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 instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. 'Hey,' I announced to the fitter/mechanic, 'its open!'
    His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
    This was at the Ford dealership in St Albans,Hertfordshire UK.....

    STAY ALERT! They walk among us.... and the scary part is that is they have the RIGHT TO VOTE and REPRODUCE!

    Should've said that this Idiot Sighting was not done by me personally (though I've seen plenty over the years), I'm guessing it was the person or persons who put the email together.

    That said I did have a KFC in about 1985 and used McD's toilets somewhere on Gran Canaria in 1999

    Mrs Trog and I ate in McD’s on our 25th wedding anniversary

    It was in Moscow and cost us 110 roubles which was about 55 pence

    Someone I used to work with thought that baked beans contained mash potato. That would be one labour intensive job.

    Sighted at Edale last Sunday:

    Me leaving my 'only worn once' trail shoes on the steps of the hall after Tanky's.

    How I laughed as I explained to Mrs Rodders.

    Guess what I'm getting for Christmas?

    Trail shoes & a knotted hanky.
