ONE
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. I asked for 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 the reply.
'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 (I'm gona try this.....)


TWO
I was checking out at the local Woolworths 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?'

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.


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



FOUR
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 convenience
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..'



FIVE
Several years ago, we had an Intern 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.
Brunette, by the way!!

SIX
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to
take her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The
dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be
fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer.....'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!'

I'm speechless....honestly

Thanks for the laugh before I go to work. Nice way to start the day. And yes! There are some really clueless people out there.

M. Night Shamalyan says it's the trees.

Those stories are hilarious, I still firmly believe that most people are stupid.

Try spending a 1/2 dollar or a $2 bill these days. 9 out of 10 you'll get a manager called.

I read these jokes a long time ago. They're still funny though.

i cant believe this really happened. i am laughing so hard in my mind right now. i wish there were some people like this sweet lady at my work.
nope. all pc-savvy, arrogant beaches.

although i did have one lady at my last work, ask me to come over and fix her mouse. 'i can never get this to work'

it was a wireless access hub for the mouse. well, i could understand for some people not at all technology-oriented.


also, back when i was at IBM, i had a work order call to go out to a company where a woman's laptop would not boot up. i wen there and she had a floppy in the drive , it was trying to boot up to the floppy . basically, they paid IBM hundreds of dollars for me to find that out.

Or when you give them the $5 bill, then you fish around your pockets and find a nickel and give it to them, to try to make the transaction 'easier'. But instead they freeze up for a minute trying to figure out what to do.

It happens quite frequently at say, Starbucks, that the bill comes to something like $6.12, and you give them $21.12 expecting a ten and a five back, but instead they hand you back $1.12 and start to make change from the $20 bill, at which point I have to help them out - "Just give me back $15 please... you can figure it out later." Well I don't actually say that last part... but I definitely think it.
