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 are being hit by cars out here! I don't think
this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."
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
He was a Chef?
Yep...From Kansas City!
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 its 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
IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker.
She 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 bunch at Texas Instruments.
IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back
into itself and for the sake of her own life, couldn't understand
why her system would not turn on.
A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs 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 drivers 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, "its open!"
His reply, "I know - I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us ... and they REPRODUCE

I petition we change the name of OT to OT, News, Blogs, and Forwards (OTNBF).

I always hated it when they asked that, although post 9/11 it seems
to have faded away due to insane security anyway

If he didn't copy it from *his* email, I want to know what he was doing in my email account that I haven't used in 5 years.

They made me chuckle. Just because it is a chain e-mail doesn't mean it isn't funny for those who haven't seen it. Why not just leave the thread?

seriously, i think what they mean is - has anyone given you anything which you don't know what it is. i.e., a package or something that you didn't open to check whats inside. :)
