This week, my phone went dead and I had to contact the
telephone repair people. I went next door and called them. 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 requested that we report future outages by email. I asked him, "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 IN CUSTOMS:
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."
IDIOT COWORKERS:
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?"
IDIOT COWORKER:
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 MECHANIC:
