The Bible says, "call no man a fool".

Is it OK to call them Idiots ?..... grin.gifblush.gif

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. grin.gif

IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD: I live in a semi-rural area. We recentlyhad 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 she didn't want them to cross there anymore. I could swear I've recently been with some of these people...

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 lettuce.

IDIOT SIGHTING #1: 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?"

She smiled knowingly and nodded,"That's why we ask."

IDIOT SIGHTING #2:At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker who is leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often."

Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare. ooo.gif

IDIOT SIGHTING #3: 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. confused.gif

IDIOT SIGHTING #4: When my wife 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'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, "it's open!" To which he replied, "I know - I already got that side."

Re: Call no man a fool

LOL--reminds me of one anniversary December 14th) I bought my wife earrings and not 20 feet away in the mall there was a kiosk that was maybe 6' in diameter. One side said "information" the other side said "gift wrapping" As I completed the paperwork with the jeweler says to me "take it over there and they'll gift wrap it for free."

So I took the box over and the lady at the kiosk came to me and said "can I help you?" I said, "yeah, the jeweler said you could wrap this for me if I showed you my receipt." The lady, puzzled, looked at me and said "this is the information booth, you'll have to come over here to get it wrapped." confused.gif

I swear to God.

I walked 10 feet around to the other side of the kiosk, and same lady comes up to me and says "can I help you?"

confused.gif

I'm thinking OMG, so I said "yeah, the lady over there said you'd wrap this for free if I showed you my receipt..." and the lady says "oh, sure, I'd be happy to help you with that."

I swear on my mother's grave. tongue.gif

Re: Call no man a fool

Here's a real life situation I encountered a couple of years ago. I got a call from someone in my company saying they could not log into our network. I checked their account and everything seemed fine. I finally decided that something had to be wrong at their end. I dutifully walked all the way across the rather large building to their office. I logged into the network with my username and password with no problem. I then had them try their username and password and sure enough, it came back and said password invalid. I then hiked all the way back to the computer room and reset their password to what they said it should be and had them try again. Still no joy. Now I'm confused. Finally I stood over their shoulder watching and as they keyed in their password I noticed that the number of asterisks that showed up didn't match the number of keystrokes they were making. I then narrowed it down to a single letter on the keyboard, "k" that wasn't working, and of course their password contained a "k". Now here's the kicker, when I told her that the reason she couldn't log in was because she had a bad key on her keyboard, she said "Oh yeah, I knew that key was bad. I called it in for repairs right before I called you about my network problems!" DOH! IDIOT!
