THEY WALK AMONG US

I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I gave her a fifty dollar bill. She
gave me back $46.64. I gave it back to her and told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor and gave her the money back.
She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what she was doing, and
returned the money again. I gave her the money back again...same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64. This actually
happened to me in Austin at MoPac Blvd. and Parmer Lane.

I walked into
a Starbucks with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a Grande Latte. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little
chalkboard that said "buy one-get one free." "They're already buy-one-get-one-free", she said, "so I guess they're both free"
She handed me my free lattes and I walked out the door.

One day I was
walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky
and said, "Where?"...They Walk Among Us!
While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction
was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the
North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh I
don't keep up with that stuff." ....They Walk Among Us!!
I
used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the
call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern
or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

My sister has
a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk of her car.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big
party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.
...They Walk Among Us!
I
couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my
bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands.
"Now," she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?"

While working at a pizza parlor I observed
a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or
6. He thought about it for some time before responding.
"Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to
eat 6 pieces."
...Yep, They Walk Among Us!
They Walk Among Us, AND they
reproduce, and WORST OF ALL... they VOTE!

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 were being
hit by cars" and he didn't want them to cross there anymore.
This one was 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.
And he was a Kansas City chef!

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 it's
safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged
coworker of mine when 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 who was leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully, this is fun. We should do this
more often."
Not a 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 life of her couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.
A deputy with the Dallas
County
Sheriff's 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 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, "it's
open!" To which he replied, "I know - I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!
