My husband and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar 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 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the people at MacD's.
We had to have the garage door repaired.
The 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 made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, '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 that repairman since...
I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many deers are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE.
My daughter went to a Mexican fast food 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.
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.'
The pedestrian light on the corner beeps 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 beeper 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.....
When my wife and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a
service, 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’s 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, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
STAY ALERT!
They walk among us, they breed, and they vote…....
Thanks Allison
And vote, and vote.
ReplyDeleteYou all be safe and God bless.
LindaG, I'm afraid so.
DeleteSave money at the McDonalds drive through: if your total is $8.92, give them $8.45 but in pennies, nickels, and dimes. Most of them can't count and will just dump the money in the draw and thank you for ordering. If you don't believe me, give them $8.95 and you'll believe me when you don't get $0.03 back....
ReplyDeletestine2469, can't wait to try it.
DeleteOne time I was running a little late to catch a plane at LAX but was relieved when I got to the gate because the aircraft had not arrived from its previous leg yet. An airliner tends to be a large object and a reasonable person could look out the window and see that there was no such thing attached to the jetway at that gate. I sat and watched as person after person walked up and asked the gate agent why we weren't boarding yet. The average is lower than you think. A lot lower.
ReplyDeleteMikey, I've seen it too.
DeleteYears ago, my oldest was on the front page of the local paper. The paper was 50¢ each and I decided that I wanted 10 copies to give to aunts, uncles, and grandparents. The woman behind the counter grabs a calculator to determine how much I owe. After she hits the wrong buttons a few times, I tell her "it's five dollars."
ReplyDeleteShe frowns and says "I'll take your word for it."
I'm a mean person. I know this. Instead of handing her a five dollar bill, I hand her a ten. She grabs the calculator.
Unferth, but I'll bet she can put a condom on a banana.
DeleteAnd this is why the UFO's don't actually stop here on Earth...they just lock their doors and keep flying on by.
ReplyDeletedanielbarger, that's probably why I've never seen one.
DeleteThey also operate motor vehicles.
ReplyDeleteedutcher, I've seen them.
DeleteIt was interesting one day when my wife went to a new grocery store and asked where the Produce was and got puzzled looks. She found it and the people running the store did not understand what "Produce" meant and this included the people in the department loading it.
ReplyDeleteJG, gotta love them teacher's unions.
