    [FONT=&quot]They walk amongst us ........ they really do!


    *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

    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

    *IDIOT SIGHTING 7

    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 .

    They walk among us... and the scary part is that is they have the

        In the car with my Ex-Mrs when we were about to join the A1 in North Yorkshire, at the top of the slip road was a large wagon about to release a mass of racing pigeon's.

        I pulled over on the grass as I explained to my then wife that they let them go from different locations and they have to race back.

        As they took to the air in they're hundreds she ask "[B]But how do they know which junction to come back to"?[/B]

        Geordies are lovely people but!!!! :confused:

                        Most of us have known more than a few managers like that, challenge them and they get agressive, make them make a decision and they want everyone to "use their own judgement" funny that...

                        Really, is that management at all?
                        Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

                          Went to my local sandwich shop today for lunch and the guy there said that an hour or so earlier someone had walked in, stood in front of the counter which contains all the sandwich fillings, cakes etc. looked around and then asked if he sold lingerie?

                          He pointed out the rather obvious array of food on display and asked why the guy thought he might sell lingerie ... ?

                          Well he said, the windows were steamed up so I couldn't see in ...

                            I was driving with a girl friend in the car a few years ago when I said,
                            I'm getting low on petrol and not sure if well make it to the next garage
                            She replied:
                            Can you go faster and get there before we run out!
                            Needles to say, she's not the present Mrs Tripler
