Happy Monday

IDIOT SIGHTINGS.

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave
the cashier a $5 bill.


Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.

She said, 'you gave me too much money.'

I said,'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.'
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but
they could not do that kind of thing.'
The clerk then proceeded to give me
back 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the clerks at MacD's.


IDIOT SIGHTING:

We had to have the garage door repaired.
The 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 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 and he said,
'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'

We haven't used that repairman since. Happened in Ipswich , Qld.


IDIOT SIGHTING :

I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbour call the local
council P & W office to request the removal of the WOMBAT CROSSING
sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many wombats are being hit by cars out
here!


I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

Story from Collingwood, Melbourne.



IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE:

My daughter went to a Mexican takeaway and ordered a taco.
She asked the
person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he was sorry, but
they only had iceberg lettuce.

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.'

This happened in Elizabeth S.A.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker 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 is a government employee in Adelaide P.O.


IDIOT SIGHTING:

When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our
car after a service, 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.'


STAY ALERT!
They walk among us...

I worked at Apple a long time ago doing phone support. This is no joke. I had a woman call who was frustrated as hell about her mouse not working. She said when she moved to the right, the pointer moved to the left, up was down, etc. etc. I had to explain to her that the cord on the mouse is not to be mistaken for a tail.

Another time at a local ISP I worked for the email server was down for several hours. After hour upon hour of phone calls of people crying that they couldn't get their email, I had had enough. I vowed that the next call was going to be something special whether I get fired or not. I answer the phone and it was someone complaining (you guessed it) that they couldn't get their email. I responded with this... "Well sir, due to the electromagnetic static in the air and the unusual sunspot activity today, the mail servers won't be up for a couple more hours until this all clears up". He politely thanked me for telling him what the problem was and no one else was the wiser.

these are true stories from my personal experience, and no one can ever take that from me.

OK, true story, many, many moons ago I was working computer field service. On a very dark and
stormy day received an emergency call, the bussiness had reported their entire lan, all servers, and
workstations were down completly! Rush job, I drove thru driving rain, thunder and lightning,
passed downed trees, etc.....entered the office where they were all hard at work by candlelight.

Can't make this stuff up.

p.s., what's the difference between a fairy tale and a sea story?




One begins "Once apon a time" the other "This is no s......"

 

[maxy007]

Stosh LMAO!!! They really are out there

Ohh here's another one!!
True story.
My sister used to work in a pub and this middle aged guy came in and she thought he looked like a guy she knew who's last name was Priest.

She poured him his beer and said to him "excuse me are you a Priest?"
He looks at her all miffed and said
"No I'm a lawyer" and walked off

This one cracked me up. I went to a Subway to get a sub and when they were making it, I asked for "light lettuce". He looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "There isn't any diet lettuce". I replied, "No. I just want a little bit of lettuce". He got all embarrassed. I tried not to laugh.

A waiter approached the man studying the menu carefully at the fancy restaurant. "May I take your order, sir?" he asked.

"Well, I was wondering how you prepare your chickens." The man replied.

"Oh, it's nothing too special, sir," the waiter confided. "We just tell them straight out that they're going to die."

1st Person: "Do you know anything about this fax-machine?" 2nd Person: "A little. What’s wrong?" 1st Person: "Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called back to say all she received was a cover-sheet and a blank page. I tried it again, and the same thing happened." 2nd Person: "How did you load the sheet?" 1st Person: "It’s a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn’t want anyone else to read it by accident, so I folded it so only the recipient would open it and read it."


I was in a car dealership a while ago when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the cruise control, then went in back to make a sandwich.

I had the exact same experience at a McDonalds a few years ago.

Back in the eighties I was manager of a video store. One day a woman who had recently bought a VCR from us brought it back. When I asked her what was wrong she said that it said "color VCR" on the box but none of her tapes played in color. I began asking questions to make sure that she had hooked it up properly. She had. Then I played some of her tapes on the display machine at the store to make sure they weren't damaged.
I was about to test her VCR when a light went on in my head. I asked, "Ma'am do you have a color TV?"
"No, it's a black and white."

This really happened. I was in the grocery store. At another register the clerk was looking up the code for asparagus. She was looking under "S" because the customer had told her it was a sparagus.
