How many of these people do you work with?

IDIOT SIGHTING: We 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." >From Kingman , KS

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 iceburg lettuce. He was a Chef? Yep... From
Kansas City !

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." Happened
in Birmingham , Ala.

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?!" She was a probation officer in
Wichita , KS

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 lunch at Texas Instruments.

IDIOT SIGHTING: I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back
into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system
would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less.

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 !

STAY ALERT! They walk among us... and they REPRODUCE

I hate to admit this... but...

I was over at my parents house one day and my dad had just finished putting in a sky light in the kitchen.  He had done a pretty good job and was proud of it.  We got talking about how much light it put out.  Then out of the blue, without even thinking about what I was about to ask him, I asked....

"But... how do you turn it off at night???"

He just looked at me and laughed...

It must be all that time you spent on Baffin Island as a kid...  you know, waaaaayyy up in the Arctic Circle where daylight lasts for weeks?  That's it, you must have just been confused...   ;D

I am certain we've all had our share of blunders... I fortunately can't think of any good ones right now, but I know there have been some doozies!
