Are these people real?
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 ¼
horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4.
He said, "NO, it's not. Four is larger than two..."
We haven't used Sears repair since.
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 we cannot do that kind of thing."
The clerk then proceeded to give me back $1 and 75
cents in change. Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.
We were having a good-bye luncheon for an old and
dear coworker, as she was leaving the company due
to 'downsizing.' Our manager commented cheerfully,
"This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another
word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with
that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip
back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't
understand why her system would not turn on.
A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office, no less.
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 driver 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 Canton, MS .
When I left Hawaii and was transferred to Florida, I
still had the Hawaiian plates on my car, as my car was
shipped from Hawaii. I was parking somewhere (I can't
remember) and a guy asked me "Wow, you drove from
Hawaii to here?" I looked at him and quickly said "Yep.
I took the Hawaii/San Francisco Bridge". He nodded his
head and said "Cool!"
STAY ALERT! They walk among us... they REPRODUCE
and apparently they vote too.......... God help the rest
of us!
