  IDIOT
  SIGHTING: Hubby and I 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 ½ horsepower. He shook  his head and
  said, “Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.” I responded that ½  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:
  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

  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.   He was a Chef?
   Yep…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 its 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:
  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 bunch at Texas
  Instruments.

  IDIOT SIGHTING :
  I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself, and for
  the sake of her own 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’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, “Its
  open!”   His reply, “I know – I  already got that side.” This was at
  the Ford dealership in Canton ,
  Mississippi !
