They truly do breed and walk amongst us....

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin 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 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don’t do that kind of thing.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the people at MacD's.


We had to have the garage door repaired.
The 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 made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, '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 that repairman since...

I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEAR CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many dears are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE.
My daughter went to a Mexican fast food 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 pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeper 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 government employee.....

When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a
service, 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 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, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'


STAY ALERT!
They walk among us, they breed, and they vote…....

Very true and VERY SCARY - -

[Horus]

I agree

[Grandad]

At the local Uni a high percentage of newbies have to undergo a 6 week refresher BEFORE they can start their courses because they are not sufficiently prepared

[LovelyLadyLux]

There is always lots of discussion at the Uni here that many of the newbies coming in a deficient in English and sometimes many of the students are required to take upgrading in English language before they proceed.

Not a good reflection on our elementary and high schools.

[Horus]

Makes you wonder how they were considered as being University material in the first place?

[Grandad]

There is always lots of discussion at the Uni here that many of the newbies coming in a deficient in English and sometimes many of the students are required to take upgrading in English language before they proceed.

So it is not just a UK disease then LLL. It is usually English language and grammar that they are deficient in. A reflection on the universal use of social media I am afraid where lower case is accepted, spelling is deplorable and punctuation is often non existent.

[Horus]

You only have to read some of the comments written on Yahoo to realise that our education system is on a downwards slide when you see some of the grammar and spelling used, even the most basic stuff seems to be beyond their abilities.

I personally know a specialist of the medical profession, HE IS A MORON and I told him so.

[Horus]

I bet he was pleased Jay

[Jayway]

Yes he was annoyed as I pointed out his errors and I said the amount of money he wanted me to pay for his incompetence was not going to be paid. I found another one - - -

What, another MORON Jay?




Sorry Jay, couldn't resist.

[Jayway]

No Grandad, one that would discuss the subject and then agree with me . . haaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa respect has to be earned.

Social media and the elimination of cursive is going to be our downfall. I'm totally upset that my grandkids are not going to be taught cursive writing in school but, on another note I can understand that nobody is really reading 'writing' anymore....(cept maybe a few Moron doctors whose hand writing nobody can read)
