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
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)
TWO
I was checking out at the local Walmart 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 woman 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.'
(keep shuddering!!)
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 don't know. 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....'
PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!
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 paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.
Brunette, by the way!!
SIX
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!'
Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!!

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

natural selection. the one thing Darwin got right!  Have you ever seen the Darwin Awards website? It's full of idiots that just boggle the mind. In order to actually win a Darwin Award, someone has to actually die doing something really stupid, thus taking him/herself out of the gene pool. I tried to insert a link, but it isn't working. Maybe they've quit updating it. Too bad, it was pretty good.

This may be too simplistic, but it did blow me away. I'm in the store and someone asks the cleark what 2 times $1.50 is. While I'm trying to get over a person not knowing the answer to that in their head, the clerk picks up an adding machine and puts the numbers in to get the answer. TWO people who can't multiply $1.50 times 2 in their head? It boggles the mind...

You should see the looks I get from the clerk at Subway when I tell them I don't want raw pickles on my sandwich. Of course they usually ask about cucumbers at some point down the rail.

I am lactose intolerant. I have yet to find a restuarant that will hold the ice cream, sour cream, butter, cheese, or milk when you tell them you're lactose intolerant and omit the dairy products. Mexican restuarants will hold the cheese if asked but still give you the sour cream even when told "hold the cheese and any other dairy products."
But the topper is the waitress who replies, "Oh, it doesn't have eggs in it," when told to hold the dairy products.
Yeah, I know, I know, eggs are the only thing listed as a dairy product that is not or is not made from milk.

Try and get them to make change with out using the cash register. You want to see pure panic. It is very sad and I will say it again. It think it is because of the flu shots.

Back in the day I managed a restaurant I used to have to teach Money. Counting in money is different. 1 of the few questions I asked when interviewing prospective employees was how to make change. I would ask the person something like: if a customer's order came to $6.47 and they gave you a $20 bill, what would be their change in coin, and bills. I was lucky if 1 in 20 could come close.
