To my Canadian Friends:
Not to worry; As we have our share of sightings down here.

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 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the clerks at MacDonald's.

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 responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO,
it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used Sears repair since.
Happened in Ottawa, ON

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbour 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.'
Story from Collingwood, ON

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 iceberg lettuce.
From Winnipeg, Manitoba

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 Toronto, Ontario

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker 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 is a government employee in Montreal, P.Q.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband 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 drivers 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.'
This was at the Ford dealership in Guelph, Ontario

STAY ALERT!

I was buying this until we got to the last one

Funny though...

Have you had your car serviced recently? I had to take mine back to the dealership twice after it continuously leaked after an oil change.
Something (the filter?) hadn't been tightened properly. This is the second time I've had this problem in the past year.

Very funny Jim.
