I was signing the receipt for my credit card
purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never
signed my name on the back of the credit card. She
informed me that she could not complete the
transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked
why, she explained that it was necessary to compare
the signature on the credit card with the signature I
just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit
card in front of her. She carefully compared that
signature to the one I signed on the
receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.
ADVICE FOR IDIOTS
An actual tip from page 16 of the HP "Environmental,
Health & Safety Handbook for Employees: "Blink your
eyelids periodically to lubricate your eyes."
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: Many deer were being hit by cars
and he no longer wanted them to cross there.
IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a
taco. She asked the individual behind the counter for
"minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only
had iceberg.
IDIOT SIGHTINGS Sighting #1:
I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when
the airport employee asked, "Has anyone put anything
in your baggage without your knowledge?" I said, "If
it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He
smiled and nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask."
Sighting #2:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe
to cross the street. I was crossing with an
intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she
asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained
that it signals to blind people when the light is red.
She responded, appalled, "What on earth are blind
people doing driving?"
Sighting #3:
At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear coworker who
is leaving the company due to "downsizing," our
manager spoke up and said, "this is fun. We should
have lunch like this more often." Not another word was
spoken. We just looked at each other like deer
staring into the headlights of an approaching truck.
Sighting #4:
I worked with an Individual who plugged her power
strip back into itself and for the life of her could
not understand why her system would not turn on.
Sighting #5:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile
dealership to pick up our car, we were told that the
keys had been accidentally 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's side, I instinctively
tried the door handle and discovered it was open.
"Hey," I announced to the technician, "It's open!"
"I know," answered the young man.- "I already got that side."
