    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. This one was 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.
    And he was a Kansas City chef!

    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 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?!" 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 a 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 life of her couldn't understand why
    her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas
    County Sheriff's 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, "it's open!" To which he
    replied, "I know - I already got that side."
    This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!

    How true ;)

    A while back I was bringing my daughter and her friend to the mall, When her friend asked me what the green blinking arrow in my dashboard was for, I told her that it was a indicator light to inform me that my directional light is on, Then I told her that there is one arrow is for right turns and the other for left turns. She then replied Ooooooh cool !! Then she was quite for a minute and then she asked me how the car knows what way I am going to turn. :confused: True story.
