International! I heard about a person was going through the checkout at a busy supermarket in Canada. When the cashier got to the end of this person's order, she picked up the divider, examined it thoroughly, then asked, "Do you know how much these are?"


Well that's in Canada so...

LOL

Our society is doomed..............

IDIOT SIGHTING
I handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00
I said "May I have large bills, please".
She looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same size."
When I got up off the floor I explained it to her.

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, 'it's open!' His reply: 'I know, I already got that side. '
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , MS

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.

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 we 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 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 iceburg 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?' 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 co-worker 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 co-worker who 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 Sheriff’s office, no less.


IDIOT SIGHTING
How would you pronounce this child's name?
"Le-a"
Leah?? NO
Lee - A?? NOPE
Lay - a?? NO
Lei?? Guess Again.
This child attends a school in Kansas City, Mo.
Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.
It's pronounced "Ledasha".
When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent."
SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash.
If dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent.

STAY ALERT! They walk among us......and they VOTE and have babies.

For all of us who are seniors...
The reason why baby diapers have brand names such as Luvs and Huggies, while undergarments for old people are called Depends:
When babies poop in their pants, people are still gonna Luv'em and Hug'em.
When old people poop in their pants, it Depends on who's in the will!
Going the e-mail rounds. Thanks Neil. :lol: :lol:... (show quote)

Five examples of idiot sightings...
(1) A number of years ago a superintendent of schools in Pennsylvania was asked if they were indeed promoting children from grade-to-grade who had not met the standards. His response was that it's either that "or we will have 10,000 kids left in the first grade."
(2) Many of our colleges and universities are regularly graduating students who can barely read on an 8th grade level. (3) It is a common practice for U.S. college students to plagiarize others' works by copying different materials off the web and handing it in as their own.
(4) Worse, many are too stupid to change the various stolen notes into a common font.
(5) Worst yet, the over-paid administrators in charge of these same post-secondary institutions are fully aware of these practices but look the other way.

Ever watch Watter's World segments on Fox O'Reilly show. Usually interviewing college students, same types of responses. And that's our future.

There is some hope on the horizon. People grow up.

They should not be allowed to vote though and they don't anyway.

Very funny all.

I am reminded of two to add.

1) Boss of mine used to have a 1 dollar bill framed on the wall behind his desk, in hopes people visiting him in his office would ask about the significance of the framed bill.

His response was always the same,

"First dollar bill I ever made, Quarter of an inch too long."

Many responses..... "Oh, Wow!"

2) A friend used to go into the counter at fast food joints, and he would ask the cashiers, "do you take foreign currency?". They would invariably say, "Gee, I don't know sir, let me get the manager". The manager would arrive and state, "No sir, we don't take foreign currency."

My friend would then say, "Darn, I have these Canadian quarters burning a hole in my pocket." Often put the manager on the spot, but to keep face in front of his/her employees..... well, you know how the rest goes.

Plenty more where those came from,..... but it's your thread.

OK... one more. I was traveling through the SouthWest with a new friend. We stopped at a diner for lunch. When we came out, he took the pennies he got in change and threw them up in the air. I asked him why. He said, the kids coming out of the restaurant with their parents just loved finding those pennies.

True stories all.
