IDIOT SIGHTING #1 This week, all our office phones went dead and I had to contact the phone repair people. They promised to be out between 8:00A.M. and 7:00 P.M. When I asked if they could give me a smaller time frame, the pleasant gentleman asked,"Would you like to call us before we come?" I replied that I did'nt see how he would be able to do that, since our phones were'nt working. He also requested that we report future outages by e-mail. Does your E-MAIL work without a TELEPHONE line?

IDIOT SIGHTING #2 I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchse, when the clerk noticed 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 signatue I had just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they MATCHED! 
IDIOT SIGHTING #3 I live in a semi-rural neighbourhood. We recently had a new neighbour call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. REASON: Too many deer were being hit by cars and he did't want them to CROSS there anymore! 
IDIOT SIGHTING #4 My daughter went to Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce". He said he was sorry, they only had iceberg! 
IDIOT SIGHTING #5 I was in 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 your knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled knowlingly and nodded, "That's why we ask!" 
IDIOT SIGHTING #6 When my husband and I arrived at the car delearship to pick up our car, we were told the keys were locked in. We went to the service department and found a mechanic working fevershily to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctivly tried the door and discovered that it was unlocked. "Hey", I announced to the mechanic, "It's open!" To which he replied, "I know, I already GOT that side." 
IDIOT SIGHTING #7 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 when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained to her that it signals blind people when the light is on red. Appalled, she responded, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?!"
