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 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 iceberg. 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 its 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 brunch 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. 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 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!" 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
