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 pence piece 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 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
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 Irish 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 ...
