IDIOT SIGHTING:
I had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears 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 Sears 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. He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two." We
haven't used Sears repair since.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
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 are being
hit
by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be
crossing anymore."

asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he
was sorry, but they only had iceburg He was a 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."

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. 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?!"

IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was
leaving the company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented
cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another
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 sake of her own life, couldn't
understand why her system would not turn on.

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, "its open!
His reply, "I know - I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi
