IDIOT SIGHTING #1
A woman and her husband arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up their car, they were told the keys had been locked in it. They went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver side door. As the woman watched from the passenger side, she instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. ‘Hey,’ she 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 #2
A couple had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told them that one of their problems was that they did not have a ‘large’ enough motor on the opener. They lady thought for a minute, and said that they 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.’ She responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, ‘NO, it’s not.’ Four is larger than two.’
They haven’t used Sears repair since.

A father and daughter went through the McDonald’s take-out window and he gave the clerk a $5 bill. Their total was $4.25, so he also handed her a quarter. She said, ‘You gave me too much money.’ he 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 him to repeat his request. he did so, and the manager handed him back the quarter, and said ‘We’re sorry but we could not do that kind of thing.’ The clerk then proceeded to give him back $1 and 75 cents in change. Do not confuse the clerks at McD’s.

IDIOT SIGHTING #7
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it’s safe to cross the street. A man was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of his, who asked if he knew what the buzzer was for. He explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, the co-worker responded, ‘What on earth are blind people doing driving?!’

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear employee who was leaving the company due to ‘downsizing,’ a manager commented cheerfully, ‘This is fun. We should do this more often.’ Not another word was spoken. Everyone just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.
