IDIOT SIGHTING #1
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave
the girl a £5 note. Our total was £4.20, so I also handed her a twenty pence
piece. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but that
way you can just give me a pound back .'She was puzzled and went to get the
manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back
the 20 pence and said 'We're sorry but they could not do that kind of
thing.' The girl then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change!
Do not confuse the staff at MacD's..

We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR 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
GARADOR made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said,
'Madam, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than
1/4
and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used Garador repair since. Happened in Moor Park, Nr
Watford UK

I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the
local town council office to request the removal of the "DEER CROSSING" sign
on our road. She said the reason was: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars
out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing
anymore.'

My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried 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.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an Irish 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."

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. 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?!'

When my husband and I arrived at Our Local Ford dealer 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 drivers
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
Fitter/Mechanic, 'its open!' His reply: 'I know. I have already done that
side.'
This was at Ford dealership in St Albans, Hertfordshire UK.

A coach party were out for the day, stopped off at a refreshment halt in
Hertfordshire and queued up for tea and coffee. One group asked for "Six
decaffeinated please." To which the girl replied: "Sorry, we only do
coffee!"

STAY ALERT! They walk among us ... and the scary part is that they have
the RIGHT TO VOTE and to REPRODUCE!
