Tripled Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 IDIOT SIGHTING No.1 My daughter and I went to the McDonald's drive through check-out window to pay our bill and I gave the clerk a £5 note. Our total bill was £4.20, so I also handed her a 20 pence piece. She said, 'You gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me £1 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 20 pence and said 'We're sorry but we do not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change. Do not confuse the clerks at MacDonald's !! IDIOT SIGHTING No2 We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR 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 moment, and said that we had the largest one GARADOR 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 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.' We haven't used Garador repair since. Moor Park, near Watford. IDIOT SIGHTING No3 I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the Highways Department to request the removal of the 'DEER CROSSING' sign from our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars on this stretch of road! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.' Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. IDIOT SIGHTING No 4 My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried Chicken 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. South Oxley, Hertfordshire. IDIOT SIGHTING No 5 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.' Luton Airport IDIOT SIGHTING No 6 The traffic light on the corner buzzes when the lights turn red and it is safe to cross the road. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged friend 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 is a Local County Council employee Harrow, Middlesex. (And she's NOT blonde) IDIOT SIGHTING No7 When my husband and I arrived at our local Ford dealer 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 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 Fitter/Mechanic, 'it’s open!' His reply: 'I know. I already did that side.' St Albans, Hertfordshire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #5 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 The first one hits all too close to home. Over south of Houston, there's a MickeyD's along with a truck / auto stop. I went in one day and my total was $6 and change; I had a $10, some singles and the change so I (naturally) gave the clerk $11 and the change expecting to get back a $5. She went to get the manager - obviously no one had ever done this to her before - who gave me the $5 after I explained the "problem". Seems as if McD's get's a grant of some kind for hiring the developmentally challenge. they can't put them cooking since they get hurt too easily so they inflict them on the customers....

Kissu & Aara Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I was talking to some friends on vent but kept getting distracted cause it sounded like one of them was sitting in a street with cars zooming by. So I stopped mid sentance and said "does someone live near a street or something?" Then realized how stupid that was and said "shut up. You know what I mean" and they bursted out laughing.

stormchaser09 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 with regards to madcdonalds how do they make money? We went to one fairly recently got 3 meals and an icecream bill £15.34 so we gave the assistant £20 and the 34 pence we got £15.34 change. ( I will confess that I didn't take it back - went to the nearest pet store and stocked up on chewies for the dogs) If they don't train their staff then I am sorry that is not my fault. I am normally more honest - I even phones Sainsbury's to tell them they had delivered a bag of shopping that I hadn't ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
