Really Stupid People

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scary thing is that these people are allowed to
vote.



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 Wal-Mart with just a
few items and the lady behind
me put her 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 girl had scanned all
of my items, she picked up the
"divider," looking it all over for the bar code so
she could scan it.
Not finding
the bar code she said to me, "Do you know how much
this is?" I said to her
"I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that
today." She said "OK,"
and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what
had just happened.

THREE....

A lady at work was seen putting a credit card into
her floppy drive and pulling it
out very quickly. When I 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 convenience 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 copier machine paper," the
secretary told her. With that,
the intern took her last remaining blank piece o
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.

SEVEN....

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 who had
this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back
of my terminal.
Do you guys have a fire downtown?"

EIGHT....

Police in Radnor, Pa., interrogated a suspect by
placing a metal colander on his
head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy
machine. The message
"He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the
copy button each time they
thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth.
Believing the "lie
detector"was working, the suspect confessed.

......Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.

LOL... I have heard of several of these before. The one with the motor home, the driver sued the mfg of the motor home. Here is the really stupid part. He won. He got over a million AND and new motor home. Whats wrong with our system when we pay people to be stupid?

LOL - I like #6. Here's a true story. While I was in the US Air Force instructing some foreign students (I won't name the country that they were from) in aerospace engineering and maintenance techniques, remind you that these students were already college graduates studying to be aircraft maintenance officers, engineers and possibly pilots for their particular country, we had 4 students rent a van with cruise control and while they were on a major interstate in Illinois, 3 students were in the back of the van playing cards and the driver put the van on "cruise" and went to the back of the van to enjoy the card game, too! After the accident investigation and talking with one of the two survivors of the accident, he thought that he put the van on "auto pilot"!!! You gotta wonder...Real story!

Enjoyable read!

Thanks!

A few years ago I took my Uncle to a Men's Store to by him a new belt. He had a stroke and wasn't right of mind so to make sure I got him the right size I had him take his very old worn belt off and I measured it up to a new one. I gave him his old belt back but instead of putting it back on he took it up to the register and they sold it to him. They had to call back for a price check and the guy actually took it back and put a new price tag on it.

That doesn't sound to me like they were stupid, sounds like they were taking advantage and needed a lesson in respect.

I think thats why they are not stupid,just ignorant a...holes!

Thats why I didn't feel bad about putting the new $20 belt in the bag and walking out. They charged him $12 for his old belt.
