I found these on another forum that I frequent...
They Walk Among Us
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 being hit by cars" and he didn't want them to cross there anymore.
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.
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."
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
when 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?!"
IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the company
due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often!".
Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself
and for the life of her couldn't understand why her computer system
would not turn on.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband and I arrived at our 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, "it's open!" To which he replied,
"I know...I already got that side.".
