Idiot Sightings
[B][FONT=Georgia][COLOR=purple]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.

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

I asked a young lady at the Ralphs deli counter to cut me off about 1/3 pound of Swiss cheese in one slice. She just stood there looking confused. I then asked her to hold up the bar of cheese and showed her how much to cut with my thumb and indexfinger. She still just stood there looking confused. The deli manager walked over and said "Just cut this much in one slice." Then she started to cry.

Funny. I went through McDs drive thru last night and gave the girl $24.40 for a $14.40. The $20 bill was at the bottom but she assumed I gave her $14.40. When she realized this, she told me if I gave her too much money (paraphrasing) and asked how much I should get back. I had waited long enough to screw with her, told her $10, she gave me the bill and I was on my way. Pretty sad.
