I went through the McDonald's
=
driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 note. Our total was $4.25, so I=
also handed her 25c. She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I=
know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin 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 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don't do that kind of
=
thing.' The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change. Do
not confuse the people at MacD's in Shepperton Vic. IDIOT SIGHTING 2: We had to have the garage door repaired. The 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 made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.. He shook his head and sai=
d
'You need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and
=
he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.' We haven't used that
repairman since. Happened in Bankstown NSW. IDIOT SIGHTING 3: I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new
neighbour call the local council to request the removal of the WOMBAT
CROSSING sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many wombats are being hit by
cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing
anymore.' Story from Bauple Qld IDIOT SIGHTING 4: My daughter went to a Mexican takeaway and ordered a taco=
.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.' He said he
was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce. >From Castle Hill, Sydney ...=
.
... IDIOT SIGHTING 5: 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' This
happened at Melbourne Airport IDIOT SIGHTING 6: The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe
=
to cross the street. I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged'
co-worker of mine. She asked if I knew what the beeper 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 is a government
employee in the Adelaide P.O. SA IDIOT SIGHTING 7: When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pic=
k
up our car after a service, 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, 'its open!' His reply, 'I know. I
already did that side.' Holden Dealership Townsville Qld STAY ALERT! They walk among us...!
