What were they THINKING!?

These people in the following true life instances certainly weren't thinking. Maybe they needed more sleep. - my comments in red


AT WORK:

In a 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. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she 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 her. She carefully compared that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.(Who'd have thought it?)

From an Environmentalist:
A tip from the Environmental Health and Safety Handbook for Employees: “Blink your eyelids periodically to lubricate your eyes.” (ya think?!)

In the Neighborhood:
A semi-rural area recently had a new neighbor who called 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. (When did deer learn to read?)

In Food Service:
My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the individual behind the counter for “minimal lettuce.” He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg.


For Real?

1. At the airport, checking in at the gate, an airport employee asked, “Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?” The passenger said, “If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?” He smiled and nodded knowingly, “That’s why we ask.” (I'm not sure how this guy got hired.

2. At a good-bye lunch for an old and dear co-worker who was leaving the company due to “downsizing,”, the manager spoke up and said, “This is fun. We should have lunch like this more often.” Not another word was spoken. Everyone just looked at each other like deer staring into the headlights of an approaching truck.(I hope it wasn't a foreshadowing of things to come)

4. An Individual plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of her could not understand why her system would not turn on.(Now THAT's funny!)

5. After arriving at an automobile dealership to pick up their car, the couple were told that the keys had been accidentally locked in it. They went to the service department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver’s side door. Watching from the passenger’s side, the wife instinctively tried the door handle and discovered it was open. “Hey,” She announced to the technician, “It’s open!” “I know,” answered the young man. - “I already got that side.”(Would you want him working on YOUR car?)
