Subject: Life's Tough....Even tougher when you're stupid

Written By: Gabble_Ratchet on 11/21/02 at 07:03 a.m.

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, so I ordered 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 thereply. "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.

The above paragraph doesn't amaze me because of what happened a couple of months ago. I was checking out at my local supermarket 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?" and 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.....

A lady at my work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When 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".

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 convenient store) would have a battery to fit this?" "Hmmm, I dunno. 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.

Several years ago, we had an staff member 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 copier machine paper," 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.

I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.


I was sitting in my science class, when the teacher commented that the next day would be the shortest day of the year. The girl sitting next to me became visibly excited, cheering and clapping. I explained to her that the amount of daylight changes, not the actual amount of time.! Needless to say, she was very disappointed.


Police in our local town, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy
machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't
telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

MAKES YOU WONDER HOW THESE PEOPLE CAN SURVIVE!!!

It reminds me of that one time when I tried to pass off a US $2 bill (legal tender, mind you!) at a Taco Bell and the cashier thought it was counterfeit and the security guard had to actually explain it to her that it was REAL ::)

People are stupid...

This happened to me while I was working in a telephone banking center. A woman called in and I asked her how could I help her, and she said, "Sir, you'll have to speak up, my arm is broken." ???

And this one...you'd think this wouldn't happen. This woman called me angrier than a wet cat. Apparently, her checks were bouncing, and she couldn't figure out why. I looked up her info, and saw that within the last 24 hours, she had bounced 20 checks, and the fees were racking up. Her account was horribly overdrawn. I told her about it, and she said, "Well, there must be some mistake. I still have checks, so how is my account overdrawn?"
