More along the line of Jerry's post yesterday.

IDIOTS AT WORK
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when  the clerk
noticed that 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 signature on the credit card with the signature  I just entered
on the receipt.  So I signed the credit card in  front of her.  She
carefully compared that signature to the one on the receipt.  As luck would
have it, they matched.

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
no longer wanted them to cross there.

IDIOTS & COMPUTERS
My neighbor works in the operations department in the central office of a
large bank.  Employees in the field call him when they have problems with
their computers.  One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch
banks that had this question:  "I've got smoke coming from the back of my
terminal.  Do you guys have a fire downtown?"

IDIOTS ARE EASY TO PLEASE
I was sitting in my science class, when the teacher commented that the next
day would be the shortest day of the year.  My lab partner became visibly
excited, cheering and clapping.  I explained to her that the amount of
daylight changes, not the actual amount of time.  Needless to say, she was
very disappointed.

IDIOTS IN FOOD SERVICE
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco.  She asked the
individual behind the counter for minimal lettuce.  He said he was sorry,
but they only had iceberg.

OUTLANDISH EXPECTATIONS
Reaching the end of a job interview, the human resources person asked the
young engineer fresh out of MIT, "What starting salary were you looking
for?" The young engineer said, "In the neighborhood of $125,000 a year,
depending on the benefits package."  The interviewer said, "Well, what would
you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and
dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car
leased every 2 years-say, a red Corvette?"  The engineer sat up straight and
said, "Wow! Are you kidding?"  The interviewer replied, "Yeah, but you
started it."
