IDIOTS IN SERVICE This week, My phone went dead and I had to contact the telephone repair people. They promised to be out between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. When I asked if they could give me a smaller time window, the pleasant gentleman asked, "Would you like us to call you before we come?" I replied that I didn't see how he would be able to do that, since our phones weren't working. He also requested that we report future outages by email. I asked him, "Does YOUR email work without a telephone line?" IDIOTS AT WORK: I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why! , she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature I had just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched. 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. 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. IDIOT SIGHTING #1: 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 #2: 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?!" IDIOT SIGHTING #3: 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. IDIOT SIGHTING #4 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. IDIOT SIGHTING #5: 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." NOW DON'T YOU FEEL BETTER?
Thanks Michael, It's nice to know that when I'm feeling like one there are always those that can top me!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
This is why... This is the reason I live in Omaha. There is always some one out there that makes me look like a genius!:Smarty:
Thanks Mike!!! The above has happend to me and friends I've been with not on one or two occasions. But too many to count! What is it with people? All I can say is there's a ton of wasted air inbetween some peoples heads.. uzzled:
Those examples are funny! The sad part is that they are so true and happen everyday! Some people should not be allowed to reproduce. Brian
Albert. I'll buy that crooks never know who's card they have handed out, but if that's such a huge problem then why don't they just ask to CID (See Drivers License)? They rarely ever, and don't even think about writting "CID" on the back of the card, The Post Office won't even take it!!! wtf is wrong with people today that common sense seems to have been thrown out the window? When you walk into a bank, and don't have an account what do they ask you for? Your signature twice or two different forms of ID? Which makes better sense... I'll stop before I really get started...
When I go to my bank to cash my paycheck I always have to show ID if I want cash back. They even know me there. And not only is my acct. with them that is also the local band that my store uses. Can't say that i mind its for security pourposes. At least i know that if someone stole my check they couldn't cash it there
