I'll save ya the trouble of telling me this is a chain letter, I know it is similiar.

So read it, enjoy it and go on about your business, as you do not impress me one I-oh-ta.

Thank you for listening. tickedoff tickedoff tickedoff tickedoff tickedoff

I feel like a VALEDICTORIAN !!!!!
I handed the teller @ my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00
I said "May I have large bills, please"

She looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same size."
When I got up off the floor I explained it to her....

 
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, 'it's open!'  His reply: 'I know. I already got that  side.'
 
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, MS
   
 IDIOTSIGHTING
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 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 McD's.

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 iceburg 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
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  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
How would you pronounce this child's name?
"Le-a"
Leah??                NO
Lee - A??            NOPE
Lay - a??             NO
Lei??          Guess Again.
This child attends a school in  Kansas City,  Mo.
Her mother is irate because everyone is getting her name wrong.
It's pronounced "Ledasha".
When the Mother was asked about the pronunciation of the name, she said, "the dash don't be silent." 
 
SO, if you see something come across your desk like this please remember to pronounce the dash.
If dey axe you why, tell dem de dash don't be silent.
               
STAY ALERT!

True story from right here in Eau Claire a couple of years ago while I was at Wendy's:
Me: Can I get 10 chicken nuggets with fries.
Cashier: Ooooh. Um. We only have 5 piece chicken nuggets. Would two of those be okay?
Me: No, I'd prefer a 6 and 4.
Cashier: Stares blankly.
Me: That would be fine, I'll take two 5s.

standing in line in an undisclosed truck stop in an undisclosed state I heard the clerk lament that 'now they are putting SPANISH on our money'
I moved over to her line and asked to see it, she handed me a penny it was the new 'shield' penny across the top it said "E PLURIBUS UNUM"

now I didn't laugh at her, I didn't smile. I said 'its latin, e pluribus unum means, from the many one'  she hit me with a deer in the head lights look and I said ' I think it means from the many colonies one united states'.

I didn't point out to her that motto has been on our coins and bills for as long as I can remember

part of the problem is people that won't learn and part is an education system that has a vested interest in dumbing down the populace.

I was working at American Eagle Aerie (overpriced ladies undies can be had there) and I was waiting for a manager to get back to their equipment room and I heard a couple (customers) in line checking out ask where American Eagle got the name. The clerk said (quoting as near as possible) "Its got something to do with the zodiac Aries or something."
I stood in stunned amazement as the three of them shook their heads knowingly.

I was in Wyoming one time on the bike, pulled into a drive-thru, ordered my food, she rang it up and told me the price.   I think it was like $4.43 or some odd #, and the electric went off after she opened the register and before she could see how much change to give me.   I'd given her a $10.     She went into tears, her manager came up, and couldn't figure out how much change, the calculator was electric also.   She went and grabbed a pencil and paper, and came up with like $9.00 something for change.  Told her that was wrong and handed it back, in the mean time my order appeared in the window.    She is still crying, told her to settle down it was very easy to make change.    I told her ya got 4.43 for the order, so pick up 2 pennies to make 4.45, a nickle to make 4.50, two quarters to make 5.00 and a 5.00 dollar bill to make $10.    She said, just take the order and your money, this one is on the house.   Said ok and drove out with my order and my $10.00......   Figured it didn't cost her anything anyway and I was hungry & hot, there wasn't any shade real close by.

I made sure all of my kids could count change when they were growing up.  I taught the oldest 2 and they taught there younger sisters and brother playing grocery store with an old cash register I had.   One of those that ya had to get all your fingers in motion to get a # to ring up in the window.  Seems like 9.99 was it's maximum, plus it was mechanical.   My grandfather had used it in his variety store when I was growing up.   That register always intrigued me as a kid and when grandpa died and they sold the business, I told mom I wanted the old register.   Her and grandma let me have it.  After writing this and remembering this, I'll be dad burned if I can remember where it went or what happened to it.    Guess I'll have to ask my older kids to see if they remember.  Couple of them said it came in handy a couple of times when they were flippin burgers in high school for more  spending $$$$, when they screwed up the money received or the electric went off.     One drive-in we had in town was always loosing their power..

I never learned to "count change".  I have just been able to DO the math in my head for as long as I can remember.

I just break the math into smaller pieces.

$10.00
-$4.43

$1.00 - $.43 = $.57
$9.00 - $4.00 = $5.00

$5.57.

I never learned the count back method.  I guess I was always good enough at the math, no one ever taught me.

My wife always gets mad at me too.  She'll have math to do... and say it out loud as she's grabbing the calculator.  I usually give her the answer before she can get it into her calculator.

Of course... she does it anyway to try to catch me being wrong... (I am occasionally, but not often) and always asks "HOW do you DO that?"

I dunno.  it's just obvious to me.

Awhile back I stayed at a Hampton Inn in Columbus Ohio.   When the desk clerk was figuring the bill the calculator she was using conked out.  She couldn't come up with the right amount of room tax.  I figured it in my head, she couldn't believe it, brought in her supervisor.  Now the computer does it all for them.

Kinda reminds me 'way back when I was a kid and had a paper route and used one of those change dohickeys that dispensed pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.  I carried it on my belt. No, i don't remember what they called them.

that's actually a pretty common usage.  It's been used for compressed gas cylinders as long as I can remember.  There are even pre-printed tear-off tags with this abbreviation for empty.  The tags have "FULL", "IN USE", and "MT" in that order.

Not sure this user was aware of it, but just wanted to provide some feedback....

I learned both ways.   The count back was my 1st one and it came in real handy when I pumped gas as a kid.   The owner/operator required each customers change was counted back.   He said ya count it out to pull the change from the drawer, so count it back to the customer to prove we are giving the correct change.   I did it before he implemented it as my grand father required it when I helped at his Variety Store, before I was able to go somewhere else and get a job.

When the station owner/operator implemented it, the 1st week it bought the cash register drawer(s) to within a few cents each end of the day.    Some days he made $$$$$ before the change, and the other days he lost big time.    Glad he never lost any grear amt. on my drawer.    In 4 years of high school, I think I was short maybe 10 times.   That was working all day Saturday, Noon to six Sunday and 3 hours Monday through Friday after school.

Long story, short version, I got hit by an 18 wheeler riding my Valk (3 months after I bought it) on the freeway. Managed to keep the bike upright and pulled to the side of the road.

Driver of the truck was from Estonia and spoke almost no English. Called the cops, had always been told you wanna get your side of the story in first, so I approached the cop when he arrived, told him what happened, then carefully explained that the driver of the truck was from Estonia, he spoke Estonian, and almost no English. No problem says the cop, and proceeds to walk over to the driver...

"Hola! Coma estas usted?" he says to the Estonian speaking truck driver...
