Idiot Sightings

[Millon]

I handed the teller at my bank a withdrawal slip for $400.00

I said "May I have large bills, please"

 

She looked at me and said "I'm sorry sir, all the bills are the same size."

When I got up off the floor I explained it to her....

 

 

 

When my wife 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 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!' His reply: 'I know. I already got that side.'

 

 

 

We had to have the garage door repaired.

The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.

I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.

He shook his head and said, 'Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower.' I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.

He said, 'NO, it's not..' Four is larger than two.'

 

We haven't used Sears repair since.

My sister drinks unsweetened tea, at a restaurant she sent her son to get her a refill at the self-service drink center. She told him to bring her some tea with lemon. He brought her glass back and when she took a drink it was sweet. "This tea has sugar in it" she said. "No momma, It is sweetened with lemon it doesn't have any sugar only lemons"

 

I always tell him it is a good thing he is good looking but I love him.

OOH! I got one.

 

Back in 2001, My husband (then boyfriend) and I were living in Darmstadt, Germany while serving in the US Army. On our way off-post to celebrate Valentine's day downtown, we ran into his buddy Jason, who was going to pick up his girlfriend, Rachel. Jason had no plans for where to go that night, so my man invited the two of them along (Yes, he had us double date on Valentine's day. Dummy).

 

Rachel was one of those people we were nice too, because she always seemed to date guys we liked, but we didn't really like her all that much.

 

So, the four of us get down town and go to this rather nice Italian restaurant. We look over the menus, and the waiter comes to the table to take our order. Rachel looks at me and says, "Mandy, how do you say 'Fettuchini al Fredo' auf Deutsche?"

I look at her and say "Fettuchini alfredo."

"Yeah, I get that, but how do you say it auf Deutsche I don't see it on the menu?"

The waiter looked at her and said "Fettuchini al fredo."

 

The evening went downhill from there.

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a $5 bill.

Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter.

She said, 'you gave me too much money.' I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back.

She sighed and went to get the manager, who asked me to repeat my request.

I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said 'We're sorry but we could not do that kind of thing.'

The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75 cents in change.

 

Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.

[Rasheta Ardashir]

Okay the McD's one is just bad. espically for the manager.

As a cashier, I love when customers have a total of like $1.99 and they give me $2.05 so I hand them their nickle back with a penny, and they look at me like "why the heck did you give me my nickle back?!"

Haha, awesome. Some people think they're being smart, when in reality they just fall into the category expressed in my post above. ;-)

Okay true story...

 

The hubby and I were getting a quick lunch at a drive though and I was using my debit card to pay that day. At that time, my debit card had a picture of a tiger on it. The lady looked at my card and said "Is that a raccoon?" Somehow we managed to restrain ourselves and not laugh in her face, but it's still an inside joke between him and me.

 

Yes, we're a very odd pair, but it works for us.

Today we went to Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas.

This year, the convention had a LOT of celebrity guests, including Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Gallactica), Sam Trammell (True Blood) and Sean Maher (Firefly, Serenity), among others.

 

Partway through the day, he had to trace down a friend in a Q&A with Sean Maher. From what I understand, he was disruptive to the Q&A.

Sean Maher asked, "Do you need the microphone?"

My hubby looked at him and said "Has anyone ever told you you look like Zac Efron?" {In one clip from the Serenity/Firefly UNiverse, a young Zac Effron played Sean Maher's character as a kid}.

Maher looked at the audience and asked "Am I going to have to kick his {Butt}?"

[Adella]

First of all, I am watching Firefly for the first time from start to finish with my boyfriend right now, and so that makes your story extra WIN Moon! Second, no one believed me when I said that Zac Effron was the kid who played his flashback self!

[Moon Sedai]

Thanks, Adella.

 

Mr. Moon reguarly makes a butt of himself in public. But this one was epically funny.

 

and yeah, it was totally a baby Zac Efron.

 

BTW Sean Maher is short! I didn't realize it til I saw him in person.
