>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.
>
>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
>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 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
>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
>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." |
