Idiot Sightings
 

I got this email and it gave me an idea for a fun new thread, so post up your own personal experiences:

IDIOT SIGHTING:

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 McDonald's.



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. </F ONT>

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.' From Kingman, KS

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. 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?'20He 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</SPA N>, KS

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!' His reply, 'I know. I already got that side.' This was at the Ford dealership in Canton<SPAN20style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-FAMILY: inherit">, Mississippi.

STAY ALERT! They walk among us... and the scary part is THEY VOTE & REPRODUCE!

It does! With a 15 shot of nitrous (the max it can handle) you can actually get under a 25 second quarter mile!

I love the one about the sears guy, and the ford mechanic.

What a bunch of fucking idiots.

And to be honest, they're probably all college grads.
Well, except for the mcdonalds clerks. haha.

I love how half of them are from KC, because honestly I've never met people like this. I thought Nashville was bad in TN.....I was wrong, veryyyyy wrong.

I was at my sisters house one evening. She had some pizza, cold, still in the box it came in. She heated up the oven to warm the pizza. Stuck the pizza in the oven....still in the box....and you can guess what happened from there. Luckily we were able to put out the fire.

holy xtra html batman!! but i LOL'd.

For a minute, I almost want think that all of that is false... then I try to remember the people I deal with every day and I suddenly feel like it is entirely possible that this is true, and that scares me.

I fucking hate stupid people.

+1 tech support, i know where you are coming from.

I did something similar one time. I had one of those frozen pizzas. I took it out of the box and the plastic, and I cooked it. When it was finished, I realized I had left the cardboard circle underneath the pizza. But since the pizza wasn't cooking directly on the rack, it didn't catch on fire. The pizza was mushy on the bottom because it hadn't cooked at all and I had to throw it away. :o:o

We had some guy the other day call and ask for a broker who had retired. I told him at least 3 times the guy was retired and the moron just didn't understand. He was pretty adamant about it and insisted that I was wrong and kept trying to tell me that just because the broker is retired, that doesn't mean he wouldn't come into work. I finally got tired of hearing it and said 'for the last time... he is RETIRED. He DOES NOT come into the office anymore. He NO LONGER handles your account. A new broker does and that is who you will deal with from now on.' I said it in a shitty tone of voice too, and he finally got the message.

I just can't believe the stupidity of some of the people that are permitted to breathe my air.

yeah, my job makes me lose faith in the intelligence of humankind.

one of my callers called in explaining their computer couldn't connect to the internet. the went back and forth between HP (their computer maker) and us. i was the 3rd call. i went through the basic stuff of checking the physical cables, the settings on the computer and all that jazz, but when it came time to look at the LAN network, she didn't have one setup on the computer, no icon, no nothing. so a lightbulb dinged in my head, and i checked the hardware setup of the computer. the geniuses at HP failed to check to see if the Drivers for the ethernet card in their computer was installed. it installed in a matter of minutes and it connected just fine. :)

Hahaha. I received that same email!

Here's one:

I was driving at about 2am one night/morning and was going over one of the local bridges here in St. Auggie and this guy in a Maxima comes flying out of nowhere and almost hits me and then almost hits the side of the bridge. Knowing he is probably shitfaced, I stay way behind him. I decided to go for some Taco Bell and the same idiot is in front of me. As I'm waiting for the line to move up... this guy gets out of the car and stumbles around his car until he is in front of me and takes a piss in the drivethru. (He just whips it on out!) I can't stop staring in disbelief. He stumbles back into his car and rear ends the lady in front of him at the window. They start yelling back and forth and then the cops come. I finally got my Taco Bell and a really random memory. haha.

I had almost the exact same experience at BK. My bill came out to be something like $5.47 and I gave them a $10 and two quarters. The girl behind the counter stared at it in her hand like it was a dead animal for a while. I told her my change should be $5 twice since she was just staring at it. She finally went in the back to consult a manager, came back, and then proceeded to stare at it again for another minute. The manager came over and yelled at her saying he already told her what to do, and she puts it in the register and hands me back $15.75. :eek: I still have no idea what thought process was used to come to this conclusion to this day!

Back when I was a Lieutenant on Engine 3, we were dispatched to a reported MVA with wires down. The driver hit the jackpot... a utility pole with three transformers, three 13.8Kv lines as well as phone and cable. The driver was nowhere to be found.. the car was reported stolen from a neighboring community about a half hour before.

Police had blocked both ends of the street. Some idiot drove right around the cruiser parked across both lanes of the street and pulled up to where the wires were down, got out of his car and asked if we could move the wires and emergency vehicles, as he was late for a party.

I asked him if he felt anything.. he said his feet had a tingling feeling.

I told him to very gently hop backwards on one foot until the tingling stopped, then walk another 10 feet away. he couldn't "hop", so he shuffled away, almost falling over in the process. The moron damn almost was electrocuted by a 13.8Kv line. The cop came over to him and could smell the booze from 5 feet away. He failed the field sobriety test and was arrested. He blew a .30 on the breathalyzer.

That's funny. :D

HAHA a .3? dam guy needs to be in the hospital isnt that near alchohol poisoning?

See, all of you guys with similar experiences as the Mickey-D's clerk get more money back than you gave....All of my bad experiences end up with me paying TOO MUCH.

You all suck.

Lol we love you too king

Every time I order something, I usually calculate it myself just to make sure the cashier didn't make a mistake. At this pizza place me and Steven (my fiance) to go every other week, we ordered our usual and it came out to be like $7.00 and some odd cents off. So I had to re-add it to prove she was off. I got my change back, too.

I always try to be vigilant about that sort of thing. I don't want those bitches stealing my must needed mod money. :D

Lol yes! +1 cuz we all need change for mod money XD
