My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin 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 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the people at MacD's.

We had to have the garage door repaired.
The 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 made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used that repairman since...

I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEAR CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many dears 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 Mexican fast food 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.

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.'

The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeper 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 is a government employee.....

When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a
service, 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, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'

Can it be true ?

These have been circulating around the internet for years. I doubt they are true, at least, I certainly hope they aren't.

Seen these before, but unfortunately I am really tempted to believe they all really happened. Hmm, change that to I believe them.

True story: This happened a week ago, Sunday. The air conditioner drain switch failed and the drain didn't open so the accumulated condensation built up in the drain pan and over flowed. The young girl that was working that day called the general manager and he told her to siphon off the excess water. She used the wet/dry shop-vac and drained the water but didn't turn off the air conditioner so the next morning I arrived to a mess. She had the great idea to use the base of the shop vac to catch any "drips" but there was quite an over flow. She arrived a few minutes after I did and we bailed the base. The general manager arrived shortly and grabbed the siphon hose we use for cleaning the fish tanks. I suggested to the girl that she use the shop vac to start the suction going so she turned on the shop vac and put the 3/4 inch diameter siphon hose into the 4 inch vac hose. After a few seconds she declared that it wasn't working . Shaking my head I reached over and covered the vac hose with my hand and the water started down the siphon hose. I put the siphon hose into the waiting bucket and tried to explain to this girl about how the hole needed to be smaller to create pull on the siphon hose. She looked at me and said, "Well I don't know anything about chemistry!!!" While trying not to laugh too hard I informed her that fell under the category of physics to which she replied, "whatever".

She is sweet as she can be but I have serious doubts about future plans. She wants to be a veterinarian.

It has happened to me a few times, but not specifically at McDonalds. Actually, if they input whatever amount you gave them into the cash register it will automatically compute the correct change, be it bills or coins.

Someone should go back and correct the spelling. DEER, not DEAR!

This is business as usual around here. You can experience these situations multiple times a day without even trying.

I agree, I will look at my wife and say "how do these people ever get into college".

To be honest, I'm more amazed that there is enough brain power to keep them breathing and their heart beating; especially at night when they sleep! You absolutely could not believe the winners around here.
