Idiots
IDIOTS IN SERVICE:
This week, all our office phones went dead and I had to contact
the telephone repair people. They promised to be out
between
8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. When I asked if they could
give me a
smaller time window, the pleasant gentleman asked, "Would
you
like us to call you before we come?" I replied that I
didn't see
how he would be able to do that, since our phones weren't working.
He also re-quested that we report future outages by email (Does
YOUR email work without a telephone line?).
IDIOTS AT WORK:
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the
clerk
noticed I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card.
She informed me that she could not complete the transaction
unless
the card was signed.
When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare
the signature I had just signed on the receipt. So I signed
the
credit
card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature
to the one
I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it,
they
matched.
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.
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.
IDIOT SIGHTING #1:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport
employee asked, "Has anyone put any-thing 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."
IDIOT SIGHTING #2:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the
street.
I was crossing with an intellectectually-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?!"
IDIOT SIGHTING #3:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker 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.
IDIOT SIGHTING #4:
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.
IDIOT SIGHTING #5:
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."
NOW DON'T YOU FEEL BETTER?
