IDIOT SIGHTING 1
My
daughter and I went through the McDonalds take-away 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 this way you can just give me £1 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 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 girls 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, 'Lady, you
need a ¼ 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 Bromley , Kent UK

I
live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the
Highways Department to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on
our road. The reason: '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.'
Story from Crayford , Kent , UK

My
daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried and ordered a Mexican taco. She
asked the person behind the counter for'minimum 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.'
Happened Luton Airport ...... UK
IDIOT SIGHTING 6
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?!'
She is a Local County Council employee in Dartford Kent, UK

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 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 Mechanic "It's open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in St Albans, Hertfordshire UK.
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us... and the scary part is that is they have the
RIGHT TO VOTE and REPRODUCE!

These are funny!
the one about the change has happened to me, a few times!
OY!
What has happened to people these days? Have they lost all of their common sense?
"Well doesn't that beat all." She says, shaking her head in wonder. Think before you say it out loud.
Sad but true lol
People just don't understand money. Cashiers of all people. I just hate (when working a register which I usually never do at my work) is when people hand me money, and after I type and press the button that then they decided to hand me the extra change to make it "even".
I can't believe some of this. It appears that people are on automatic pilot and cannot deal with anything out of the norm.

I'm just glad to hear some idiot stories that don't involve Americans!
The change one is absolutely true!
Apparently idiots are a universal problem. In a way, it makes me feel better. I thought the US held the title for idiots! LOL
NOT BRITAIN TOO!!!??

Don't know why but your blog isn't showing in my blog roll... yet it's entered okay, as it always has been. I'll try and keep up :O)

Sadly, they have the right to run for office too.
Maybe we should put up an Idiot Crossing sign.
wanders off with an evil laugh....
1. OMG! that is so typical of (I'm afraid to say it) and also very frustrating!!
6. OMG again. Have people really passed qualifications that warrant them being a job with the council? Says a lot really doesn't it?!
To think they have the right to vote is really quite worrying for our future generation!!
