[GCFL-discuss] Some people were born without brains. . .

IDIOTS IN SERVICE:

This week, our phones went dead and I had to contact the
telephone repair people. They promised to be out between 8:00 a.m. and
7:00 p.m. When I asked if they could give me a smaller time window, the
pleasant gentleman asked, "Would you like us to call you before we
come?" I replied that I didn't see how he would be able to do that since
our phones weren't working. He also requested that we report future
outages by email. (Does YOUR email work without a telephone line?).

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.


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 she didn't want them to cross there anymore.

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.

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:

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the
street.  I was crossing with a coworker of mine when she asked
if I knew what the buzzer was for.
I explained that it signals blind people when the light is green.
Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing
driving?"

IDIOT SIGHTING #3:

At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker 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.

IDIOT SIGHTING #4:
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.

IDIOT SIGHTING #5:

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 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
