Idiot Sighting
Be Careful Out There:
IDIOT SIGHTING:
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 said 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.
From Rochester , MI .
IDIOT SIGHTING:
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 they 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.
IDIOT SIGHTING :
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 are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."
From Grand Rapids , MI ..
IDIOT SIGHTING 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 iceburg lettuce.
From Traverse City , MI .
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 Flint , MI .
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. 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 Pontiac , MI .
IDIOT SIGHTING :
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker. She was leaving the company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare
This was a lunch at Beaumont Hospital , Royal Oak , MI .
IDIOT SIGHTING :
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.
A deputy with the Oakland County Sheriffs office, no less.
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us... and the scary part is they REPRODUCE and they VOTE

Notice they are all from lower Mich' also. No "Up-er's" there, just us "Trolls" (we live below the bridge.)
Also she says stay alert. We've always said to be alert, cuz the world needs more lerts! (this from a troll!)
We have another name for these people, also. "Michigan Hillbillies". The Hillbillies that migrated to MI for work (?) and cross breeded.

Heck, I don't know, is strange though.
I just copied it from another forum because I thought everyone could use a laugh.

My dad worked for Mopar in Dayton for 30 years. THEY used to have a joke about all the rednecks that migrated to MI to work for the big 3 companies up there.
They also joked about a part of Dayton being called: "Little Kentucky" because all the people from KY that migrated to Dayton for the auto related jobs tended to move to this one neighborhood.
Oh. Not sure why they made fun of rednecks when 99.9% WERE rednecks?
