...but I thought some of you might be able to relate to this that a friend sent to me...

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? *****
