IDIOT SIGHTING No.1
My daughter and I went to the McDonald’s checkout to pay our bill and I gave the clerk a £5 note.
Our total bill was £4.20, so I also handed her a 20 pence piece.
She said, ‘You gave me too much money.’
I said, ‘Yes I know, but this way you can just give me £1 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 20 pence and said ‘We’re sorry but we do not do that kind of thing.’
The clerk then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change.
Do not confuse the clerks at MacDonald’s in St Albans , Hertfordshire.!!IDIOT SIGHTING No2
We had to have the garage door repaired. The GARADOR 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 moment, and said that we had the largest one GARADOR 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 Garador repair since.

I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the Highways Department to request the removal of the ‘DEER CROSSING’ sign from our road.
The reason: ‘Too many deer are being hit by cars on this stretch of road!
I don’t think this is a good place for them to be crossing, any-more.’

My daughter went to a local Kentucky Fried Chicken 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 traffic light on the corner buzzes when the lights turn red and it is safe to cross the road. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged friend 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 Local County Council employee in St Albans ,
Hertfordshire. (And she’s NOT blonde)IDIOT SIGHTING No7
When my husband and I arrived at our local Ford dealer 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’s 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 Fitter/Mechanic, ‘it’s open!’
His reply: ‘I know. I already did that side.’
This was at the Ford dealership in St Albans , Hertfordshire.STAY ALERT!
They walk among us.
AND THEY BREED!and they slag essex off ange,seems to me herts needs a good eejit shakedown.
I did notice quite a few appearances from my old county, too!
Idiots at work:
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature I had just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.One of the requirements of borrowing money from the bank I was working at was to confirm the income of the individual either by way of pay stub or a letter from your employer. A young fellow came in one day and told me he wanted to borrow some money but he was training to be a professional WWF-like wrestler so didn’t have a steady stream of income. I asked him to get a letter drawn up confirming the amount and return to the bank as soon as possible. He wasn’t clear on this so I told him he needed a piece of paper from his employer, saying how much money he makes, and it should have letterhead at the top of the page. Well, the next day he did return, with a letter done up in his own hand writing, saying “I, John Smith, make $1000 a month”, and the word “Letterhead” clearly hand printed at the top of the page.
