I DIOT SIGHTING No 1
My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the cashier a £5 note. Our total was £4.20, so I also handed her a twenty pence piece
She said, 'You gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes, I know, but this way you can just give me £1 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 20 pence and said 'We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing.' The cashier then proceeded to give me 80 pence in change.
Do not confuse the cashiers at MacDonald's.

We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR 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 GARADOR made at that time, a ½ horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a ¼ horsepower.'
I responded that ½ was larger than ¼ and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used Garador repair since.

I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the Highways Department 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 Kentucky Fried 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.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an Irish 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 at Luton Airport , UK
IDIOT SIGHTING No6
The stoplight on the corner buzzes 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 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 is a Local County Council employee in Harrow, Middlesex , UK .
IDIOT SIGHTING No7
When my husband and I arrived at Our Local Ford dealer 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 Fitter/Mechanic, 'its
open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
This was at the Ford dealership in St Albans, Hertfordshire , UK
