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.

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out
window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was
$4.25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, "you
gave me too much money." I said, "Yes I know, but this
way you can just give me a dollar bill 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
quarter, and said "We're sorry but they could not do
that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give
me back $1 and 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.
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."

IDIOT SIGHTING 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 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."
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

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 the scary part is that they
