Sighting

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.

My daughter and I went through the Timmy's drive-thru
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 they could not 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 the Timmy's in Almonte, Ont

IDIOT SIGHTING:

I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new
neighbour 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 Barrhaven, Ont.

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.

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 at Uplands in Ottawa

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 Gatineau , QC

IDIOT SIGHTING:

This happened 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 another word was spoken. We all just looked at
each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

This was a lunch at Suncor, Fort McMurray , Alberta

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 clerk at the Campbell 's Bay Court House, 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 drivers 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 Kanata, Ont



STAY ALERT!

They walk among us... and the scary part is that they
VOTE and they REPRODUCE !

i was at thirsty with my girlfriend when a middle-aged lady wearing heavy make-ups came and asked the girl behind the counter for an avocado shake. the girl answered, "off season man ma'am". the lady replied, "aw tagpila mana cya?". after 3 seconds, she must've realized her mistake, she then said, "mango nlng".

[bigVince]

^ nice one ma'am!

But the girl did a mistake on that too. She should say na hutdan sila and not "Off Season man Ma'am". If wala sila di gi tang2x lang ta to sa list of juices/shakes they offer. But lingaw lang gihapon. Hehehehe.

Apil ko og post, got this from the net.

1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is.

2. AST technical support had a caller complaining that her mouse was hard to control with the dust cover on. The cover turned out to be the plastic bag the mouse was packaged in.

3. Another AST customer was asked to send a copy of her defective diskettes. A few days later a letter arrived from the customer along with photocopies of the floppies.

4. A Dell technician advised his customer to put his troubled floppy back in the drive and close the door. The customer asked the tech to hold on and was heard putting the phone down, getting up and crossing the room to close the door to his room.

5. Another Dell customer called to say he couldn't get his computer to fax anything. After 40 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician discovered the man was trying to fax a piece of paper by holding it in front of the monitor screen and hitting the "send" key.

6. Yet another Dell customer called to complain that his keyboard no longer worked. He had cleaned it by filling up his tub with soap and water and soaking the keyboard for a day, then removing all the keys and washing them individually.

7. A Dell technician received a call from a customer who was enraged because his computer had told him he was "bad and an invalid." The tech explained that the computer's "bad command" and "invalid" responses shouldn't be taken personally.

8. A confused caller to IBM was having troubles printing documents. He told the technician that the computer had said it "couldn't find the printer." The user had also tried turning the computer screen to face the printer - but that his computer still couldn't "see" the printer.

9. An exasperated caller to Dell Computer Tech Support couldn't get her new Dell Computer to turn on. After ensuring the computer was plugged in, the technician asked her what happened when she pushed the power button. Her response, "I pushed and pushed on this foot pedal and nothing happens." The "foot pedal" turned out to be the computer's mouse.

10. Another customer called Compaq tech support to say her brand-new computer wouldn't work. She said she unpacked the unit, plugged it in and sat there for 20 minutes waiting for something to happen. When asked what happened when she pressed the power switch, she asked, "What power switch?"

11. Another IBM customer had troubles installing software and rang for support. "I put in the first disk, and that was OK. It said to put in the second disk, and I had some problems with the disk. When it said to put in the third disk, I couldn't even fit it in..."The user hadn't realized that "Insert Disk 2" meant to remove Disk 1 first.
