Life is tough and even tougher if you encounter people that are none too bright. Here are six funny instances of people’s minds not at work…
One:
Recently, when I went to McDonald’s I saw on the menu that you could have an
order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. “We
don’t have half dozen nuggets”, said the teenager at the counter. “You don’t?”
I replied. “We only have six, nine, or twelve,” was the reply. “So I can’t
order a half-dozen nuggets, but I can order six?” “That’s right.” So I shook my
head and ordered six McNuggets.
Two:
I was checking out at the local Foodland with just a few items and
the man behind me put his things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of
those “Dividers” that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our
things so they wouldn’t get mixed. After the boy had scanned all of my items,
he picked up the “Divider” looking it all over for the bar code so he could
scan it. Not finding the bar code he said to me “Do you know how much this
is?” and I said to him “I’ve changed my mind, I don’t think I’ll buy that
today”. He said “OK” and I paid him for the things and left. He had no clue
to what had just happened….
Three:
A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into her disc drive and pulling
it out very quickly. When inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was
shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she
was using the ATM “thingy”.
Four:
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. Do you need some
help?” I asked. She replied, “I knew I should have replaced the battery to this
remote door unlocker. Now I can’t get into my car. Do you think they (pointing
to a distant convenient store) would have a battery to fit this?” “Hmmm, I
dunno. Do you have an alarm too?” I asked. “No, just this remote thingy,” she
answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually
unlocked the door, I replied, “Why don’t you drive over there and check about
the batteries it’s a long walk.
Five:
Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was
typing and turned to a secretary and said, “I’m almost out of typing paper.
What do I do?” “Just use copy machine paper,” the secretary told her. With
that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the
photocopier and proceeded to make five “blank” copies.
Six:
I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into
the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole
thing generally looked like an extra in “Twister”. I asked the manager what had
happened. He told me that the driver had set the “cruise control” and then went
in the back to make a sandwich.
