IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: <br />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. <br />This one was from Kingman, KS. <br />______________________________________________________ <br /><br /><br />IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE: <br />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. <br />And he was a Kansas City chef! <br />______________________________________________ <br /><br />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." <br />Happened in Birmingham, Ala. <br />_______________________________________________________ <br /><br />IDIOT SIGHTING<br /><br />The stoplight on the corner buzzes when its 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 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 <br />___________________________________________________ <br /><br />IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker who was leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfu! lly, "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 brunch at Texas Instruments <br />________________________________________ <br /><br />IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged his power strip back into itself and he couldn't understand why his system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office no less. <br />____________________________________________________ <br /><br />IDIOT SIGHTING: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were tol! d 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 technician, "its open!" To which he replied, "I know - I already got that side." This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi! <br />_______________________________________________________ <br /><br />they walk among us ... and they REPRODUCE!

MORE IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE:<br />True story (not quite as good as yours) - I asked for a hamburger, "meat, mayo and cheese only" (it's how my daughter likes 'em). Girl behind the counter looks at the register, puzzled, looks back up at me & says "you can't get cheese on a hamburger." Teenage clerk at McDonald's.

Re: Idiots!!

heycods, could you tone down the name calling? Some of are sensitive out here! :D ;) :D <br /><br />Maybe use something like 'logically challenged'?<br /><br />Edit: sending these to my brother, he's also 'challenged'. :) :)

.................and they all live in Cumbria :( <br /><br />an example: We recently had high winds that knocked the satellite dish on the side of our house out of line. I was teetering at the top of the ladder when the neighbour stopped to chat and ask what I was doing. When I told him I was trying to line the dish back up with the satellite he looked up at the sky and then said "you think they'd fly them lower so that you could see them easier" <br /><br />he has five children, one of each :rolleyes:

More automotive humor. A few years back I took my F 150 in to the local Ford dealer for warranty work. They called later that day to tell me it was ready to pick up. When I arrived at the dealership they told me they would bring the car out to me, it was parked around back. I waited there maybe for ten or fifteen minutes. Finally I walked outside and over to the back gate where I saw the kid standing there yelling to another employee. He went to back the truck out and hit another car that was getting ready to be put in the shop. When he saw me he motioned to me to come inside again. When I did he said to me "I am terribly sorry sir, when I was moving your vehicle someone else got in my way and well you can see the result of what happened." I looked him right in the eye and said "Hell that's OK, that wasn't even my truck!" :D True story! :p I never went for service at that dealership again!

Re: Idiots!!

I had a good one yesterday. A gentleman called and said that he wanted to replace some ceiling tile that was stained. (Drop ceiling) I asked him if it was the 2'x4' or the 2'x2'. He said it was the skinny row next to the wall about 8" wide. I had to laugh and say you must cut it to fit with a utility knife.

Even funnier if you said "a short yellow one, like you rode to school."
