IDIOT SIGHTING:
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 anymore. This one was from Kingman, KS.

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 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 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 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. 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 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."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!

3. Fearless Leader should read this. He'd know that he isn't alone in
the totally brain-dead ignorant department.

Now the evil factor is a whole other thing.

4. A true story.
Edited on Mon Aug-08-05 05:49 AM by Sentinel Chicken
A few years ago I was pulled over by the cops who then informed me that my cars license had been canceled. Since I had recently changed insurance companies and renewed my plates I knew something had to be wrong. I showed the cop my new insurance and renewal but was told none the less my license was canceled. So I went down to the licensing office to find out what went wrong. It turns out that when I canceled my old insurance someone working for the state had assumed I didn't have insurance. Since insurance is required they canceled my license. Now here's where it gets really idiotic. They then decided since they were canceling my license the had to inform my new insurance company my car was no longer licensed so they canceled my new insurance too.
