IDIOTS IN SERVICE
This week, all our phones went dead and
I had to call the phone repair people.
They promised to be out between 8
a.m. and 7 p.m.
When I asked if they could give me a smaller
time window, he asked and I quote,
"Would you like us to call before we come?"
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 that 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
on the credit card with the signature I
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 hit by cars and
he no longer wanted them to cross there.
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and
ordered a taco.
She asked the individual behind the counter for
"minimal lettuce."
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg.
IDIOTS AT THE AIRPORT
I was at the airport, checking in at the
gate, when the airport employee asked,
"Has anyone put anything in your baggage without
your knowledge?" I said,
"If it was without my knowledge, how would I
know?"
He smiled and nodded knowingly, "That's
why we ask."
IDIOTS ON THE ROAD
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is
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 explain that it signals blind people
when the light is red. She responded, appalled "What on earth are
blind people doing driving?"
IDIOTS IN MANAGEMENT
At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear coworker
who is leaving the company due to "downsizing"
our
manager spoke up and said, "This is fun.
We should
have lunch like this more often." Not another
word
was spoken. We just looked at each other
like deer
staring into the headlights of an approaching
truck.
IDIOTS WITH COMPUTERS
I worked with an individual who plugged her
power
strip back into itself and for the life of
her, could
not understand why her system would not turn
on.
IDIOTS IN GENERAL
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile
dealership to pick up our car, we were told
that the
keys had been accidentally 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's side, I instinctively
tried the door handle and discovered it was
open.
"Hey," I announced to the technician, "it's
open."
The young man answered, "I already got that
side."
***** There, now don't you feel better? ****
