THEY WALK AMONG US!
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: 'Too many deer
were being hit by cars' and he didn't want them to cross there any more.
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. And he was a Kansas City
chef!
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 when 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 a word was
spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights
stare. This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.
IDIOT SIGHTING: 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. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, no
less.
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 mec! hanic wo rking 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.' This was at the Ford dealership in Canton,
Mississippi!
They walk among us.. Folks,
It's very scary
