Idiot Alert !

IDIOT SIGHTING:
We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears
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 Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook
his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2
was larger than 1/4... He said, 'NO, it's not.' Four is larger than two...'

We haven't used Sears repair since.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out
window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also
handed her a quarter. She said, 'You gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes
I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill 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 quarter, and said 'We're sorry but we cannot
do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75
cents in change..

Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
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
are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for
them to be crossing anymore..'

>From Kingman , KS ..

IDIOT SIGHTING 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 lettuce.

From Kansas City

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. 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:
I was at a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear
coworker. She was leaving the company due to 'downsizing.' Our manager
commented cheerfully, 'This is fun. We should do this more often.' Not
another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that
deer-in-the-headlights stare..

This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip
back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her
system would not turn on.

A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs 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 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, 'Its open!' His reply, 'I know. I
already got that side..'

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , MS.

Enough

I pray you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.

I pray you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.

I pray you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.

I pray you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.

I pray you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

I pray you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

I pray you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.
