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. This one was 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. And he was
a Kansas City chef! 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
Birimingham, 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
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?!" She was a probation
officer in Wichita, KS

IDIOT SIGHTING: At a good-bye luncheon for an old and
dear coworker who was leaving the company due to
"downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully, "this
is fun. We should do this more often." Not a word was
spoken. We all just looked at each other with that
deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a bunch at
Texas Instruments.
________________________________________ 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. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's 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, "it's open!" To which he
replied, "I know - I already got that side." This was
at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!
