not sure if any bad languae better safe than sorry


Be Careful Out There:



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 ice burg 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 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 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, MS



I'm going to add one of my own. My sister and her husband had been out one night and stopped by Krystal on the way home. They ordered burgers, fries and chili and when they got their change back, they told the gal behind the counter that she hadn't given them enough money. She said yes, she had, so they asked to see the manager. They explained that they were still owed $2.00 and the manager told them that they hadn't considered the tax because once your order was over $10.00, it put you in another tax bracket.



Yep, that's our fast food wizards in action in Memphis




STAY ALERT!

They walk among us... and the scary part is that they VOTE and they REPRODUCE

Once I went to repair a customers "Faulty" fax machine.

The little old lady explained that every time she put a letter into the send slot it kept falling out from a crack in the cover.

I had to explain that the machine did not actually transmit the envelope with the letter inside to her son but an image of the text on the sheet of paper.

******************************************

Once I had to drive from Manchester to Inverness (360 miles) to repair a "Faulty" copier.

The customer explained that the machine was dead. It had been working the previous week but now it would not turn on.

When I looked at the machine I couldn't find the mains cable, I asked the customer where it was, she told me she was using it for the kettle because it was longer than the original.

I had to point out that the machine had to be connected to the mains for it to work.

******************************************

Once I was called out to repair a "faulty" laser printer.

I was told that they had returned 4 previous printers back to the manufacturer because they had only worked for a month before breaking down.

The customer wanted to know why the printers were so unreliable and would not let me go until he had a satisfactory explanation.

I showed him the page in the user manual which explained about replacing the toner cartridge (ink) when it runs out.

Once I had to do a repair at sellafield nuclear power station.

When I arrived at the main gate I was asked for some personal identification (driving license), they then contacted my employer to verify my identity.
I then had my photograph taken and a visitors pass created for that day.
I then had to watch a video about the dangers of the site and what to do in an emergency.
I had to take every thing out of my van to enable security to search every thing and was eventually escorted to the location of the faulty copier after about 2 1/2 hours after my arrival.

Unfortunately I did not have the required part on my car stock so had to arrange for the part to be posted to site.

A couple of days later I once again arrived at the power plant to fit the part but I went to one of the closest side entrances.
The security guy just pointed in the general direction and said "it's over there" and went back to reading his newspaper.

It's nice to know that one of the top terrorists targets is well protected.

Providing they try to get in though the main gate.
