Anyone
at Home in There?
AT A FAST
FOOD RESTAURANT:
I went inside a national fast food restaurant and ordered 2 ice
cream cones. I was asked if they were for here or to go and said
'What difference does it make?' The girl behind the counter said
'I can't let you have them if you don't answer my question'. I
said 'One is for here and one is to go'. I then paid for the 2
cones and left.
AT A CORPORATE TRAINING SESSION:
An actual tip from page 16 of the 'Environmental, Health &
Safety Handbook for Employees: 'Blink your eyelids periodically
to lubricate your eyes.'
AT A MALL RETAIL STORE:
I
was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the
clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the
credit card. He informed me that he could not complete the
transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, he
explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the
credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So
I signed the credit card in front of him. He carefully compared
that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would
have it, they matched.
AT THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICE:
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: Many deer
were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross
there.
SPECIAL SIGHTINGS (These folks needs some help)
SIGHTING #1:
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the
street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged
co-worker of mine, when he asked if I knew what the buzzer was
for. I explained that it signals to blind people when the light
is red. He responded, appalled, 'What on earth are blind people
doing driving?'
SIGHTING #2:
Recognize anyone here? At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear
coworker who was leaving the company due to 'downsizing,' our
manager spoke up and said, 'This is fun. We should have lunch
like this more often!' Not another word was spoken. We just
looked at each other like deer staring into the headlights of an
approaching Mack truck.
SIGHTING #3:
I worked with an Individual who plugged his power strip back
into itself and for the life of him could not understand why his
system would not turn on.
SIGHTING #4:
When we arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car,
we were told that the keys had been accidentally 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's side, I instinctively tried the door handle and
discovered it was open. 'Hey,' I announced to the technician,
'It's open!' 'I know,' answered the young man.- 'I already got
that side.'
