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....

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

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 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 Iknow, 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.'

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

They walk among us......and they VOTE.

I run into people every day that cannot tell time unless they are wearing a digital watch/

Good and tragic observations. Maybe you should move. I rarely meet anyone as dumb as the people you cite above. I do enjoy watching people make change. If professional cash handlers give me back too much money, I figure it is their penalty for being stupid.

mine be sayin 3dash28 right now.

at the library
Four high school students asking for a William Shakespeare book in English.

As a pre-teen, my son complained incessantly about being forced to wear an analog watch.

Later, when he joined the Navy, he discovered that most of his class didn't know how to read one, and he was way ahead of the game. He thanked me later.

Terry, our society is going to be self-limiting.

Happened last night at Home Depot.

I paid for 20 bags of mulch but only had one in my cart. They had pallets of out front so I told them I was going to pull my truck up and load them. They made we wait for an emplyee to come out and load them. He loaded my RAM 150 crew cab until it was full and probably lost count at least 3 times. I think I got a discount.

i dont know.....in high school i was a math wiz, did a hell of alot of algebra and basic calc in my head but for whatever reason doing chit like that i loose count real easy and have to refigure fairly often.....which is why when im printing tournament books and such i put them in bundles of 10, 20 or 25 so i can go back and recount quickly.....

When my wife was a teller she would do this.
Some people would laugh and some would get mad.
If they came in mad,they left w/ a laugh.

The guy who makes this work will be wealthy beyond imagination.

The wife is far from dumb, but she just can't grasp the concept of 24 hour time. She can only understand AM or PM, so just for orneriness I set all my clocks and watches on Military time.

Good solid entitlement ethics there. Being stupid is only one part of the problem.

Why move, it is a nationwide epidemic.

It's everywhere!

I believe it! Most kids today cannot read King James English . . both Shakespeare and the King James Bible are incomprehensible to them. Nor can they write . . they print. About half of Americans, particularly the young, do not know from whom the United States gained its independence.

We are raising a generation that can't think and doesn't want to work while China and India are raising kids who can and will. We have far bigger problems in this country than who becomes the next POTUS.

I went to a gunshow a couple weeks ago.
Was a teenager manning the back door.
Admission was $6.
Smallest I had was a $20.
I handed him $21.
I got the deer in the headlights look.
He handed me the $1 back.
I refused it and said "this makes it so I don't take all your $1's".
He is confused.
He reaches for his cell phone so he can use the calculator.
I finally say "you owe me $15".

He is still confused, but finally hands me $15.
I don't believe he ever "got it".

If you want to see people's eyes roll back in their heads, try this joke.


Ask: How do you divide 5 potatoes among 7 people?

(The look indicating, OMG, fractions!)










Answer: Mash 'em!

(look of relief)

I once worked with an ATC yuk at Miami Center who used his wrist watch to verify the clock position of opposing traffic when he issued traffic advisories. His wife gave him a new digital watch for Christmas and he was quite thrilled the next day at work. Then he plugged into the sector. The meltdown occurred about 3 minutes later.

I did not make that up.

There are areas in this country one can graduate HS and not have the ability to read.

I am going to name my next dog L-ea. That's pronounced Ledasha, the dash be silent.
