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.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Wait a minute, just who is the dummy? The guy who can't stand to see other stupid drivers hitting deer even when they have been warned they are crossing is not the dumbest one in the crowd.

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.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Maybe he misheard and thought she said, "animal lettuce".

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 Brimingham, Ala.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No comment.

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
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">She's right.

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-hea! dlights stare.
This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think the guy has a big heart, nothing wrong with that.

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.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, that same technique would work with a vibrator, so I can see why she would be confused.

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!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, why wouldn't the same key open both doors fast and easy, clearly the guy was trying to figure out why.
