Can people really be this stupid?
1. Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that I could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. "We don't have half dozen nuggets," said the teenager at the counter. "You don't?" I replied. "We only have six, nine, or twelve," was the reply. "So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?" "That's right." So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.
2. I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those "dividers" that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the "divider", looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much this is?" I said to her "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today." She said "OK," and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened.
3. A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."
4. I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you need some help?" I asked. She replied, "I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked. "No, just this remote thingy," she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, "Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk."
5. Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, "I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?" "Just use copier machine paper," the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five "blank" copies.
6. I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
7. My neighbour works in the operations department in the central office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
8. Police in Radnor, PA, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
9. A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and should be fine, the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency. i really do need a massage thanx! wow..just wow....sounds like you've run into some very amusing characters....wow.
anyways..thanks for the laugh. nice of you to take the time and type all that for people to read...
peace i'll give you a massage for 10 pts. but i won't read all that text in your question. wow thats too much to read
but hey i work at walmart and have done that lol Yes they can,but I'm not one of them. Yes, they can.
I was at a seafood market and overheard a customer ask if the live lobsters were already cooked. sigh.... Yes some people are below average. I am sure your someone's story too. I one time wanted to put a nintendo cartrige into a floppy disk drive. Yes, they certainly can. Although it seems to me you already realized that since you put those on here.
I used to work at Wal-Mart as a cashier and I saw plenty of proof. The sad thing is the customers sometimes aren't any brighter. I think that is what scared me the most.
I have a sister that once asked me (she was 20 something yrs. old while I was 12) where a certain area of Missouri was located. While that may sound extraordinarily stupid, it gets worse. We live in that area. While working at our local convenience store about 15 years ago, a mother and daughter (about 4yr old) came in. The little girl ran to the back of the store. Her mother called out,"Ampersand, come back here, and no running!". I was stunned. I couldn't have heard her right, so I asked, "excuse me, but what's your daughter's name?". She beamed at me and said, "Ampersand. Isn't it a pretty name? I can't remember where I heard it before, but I just knew I had to name my baby that!". I smiled and agreed that it was an unusual name.
I wonder if that little girl now signs her name "&". |
