Stupid Idiot Story: |
I hate stupid people, stupid people should have to wear a sign that says, "I'M STUPID!!"
IDIOTS AT WORK...
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk
noticed
that 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 on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the
receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully
compared that signature to the one I signed on the
receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.
Some Boeing employees on the airfield decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. When they took it for a float on the river, they were surprised by a coast guard helicopter coming towards them. It turned out that the chopper was homing in on the emergency locator that is activated when the raft is inflated. Needless to say, they are no longer employed there!
ADVICE FOR IDIOTS
An actual tip from page 16 of the HP "Environmental, Health & Safety
Handbook for Employees: "Blink your eyelids periodically to lubricate your
eyes."
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: Many deer were being hit by cars and he no
longer wanted them to cross there.
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the
individual behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry,
but they only had iceberg.
IDIOT SIGHTINGS
Sighting #1:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee
asked, "Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I
said, "If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and
nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask."
Sighting #2:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street. I
was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she
asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to
blind people when the light is red. She responded, appalled, "What on earth
are blind people doing driving?"
Sighting #3:
At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear coworker who is leaving the company
due to "downsizing," our manager spoke up and said, "this is fun. We
should
have lunch like this more often." Not another word was spoken. We just
looked at each other like deer staring into the headlights of an
approaching
truck.
Sighting #4:
I worked with an Individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and
for the life of her could not understand why her system would not turn on.
Sighting #5:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our
car, we were told that the keys had been accidentally 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's side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered it
was open. "Hey," I announced to the technician, "It's open!" "I know,"
answered the young man.- "I already got that side."
Sighting #6:
I was in a cellular phone store when a lady walked in and complained that her battery
couldn't keep a charge. She explained that she only turned it on and used when she
got in her car, that she'd turn it off when she went in a store or got home. The salesperson
showed her a couple pictures of different chargers trying to figure out which one she
had and the lady finally pointed out which one looked like hers. The salesperson asked her
if she charged it every night and the lady just looked at him and answered, "I've only
charged it once, when I first got the phone". "When was that," asked the salesperson.
"About 8 weeks ago," she said. I don't know how he did it without laughing
but the salesperson gingerly explained to the lady why her battery would not last a lifetime
on one charge.
