lol

Lizard Lady great thread you started here

Sigh, I am sure I have seen an original idiot sighting, probably been one myself for others

I saw a sign on a baby stroller that said please do not fold stroller with child inside. A can of something that, on the bottom of the can, said please do not turn over. I have seen popcorn popping instructions on the INSIDE of the popcorn bag, once you open it up. I went to McDonald's once and ordered a hamburger and the cashier asked me if I wanted a bun with that....

Is this sightings of idiots, or sightings that are idiotic?

I have quite a few.... but here are some work (architecture & MEP) related items.... used to run a design studio with about 30 folks for commercial design in a well known AE company. LOL

Intern - The Space Plan is not working... so I took out the column, its much better now... 30 story bldg. structural...

Intern - So proud of her furniture plan.... all the cad drawings with the chair templates turned upside down

Intern - Assigned to do filing in the AE library... nobody could find anything for several weeks... I mention... did you do it alphabetically, by Manufacturer... answer " No, just my categories"... Me "like how"... her answer " Like misc., other, color of the catalogues, etc."

Intern - I receive an urgent call as did the rest of the office (200 folks) to log everyone off the Auto cad & auto architect system.... male - in my department is detailing every brick on the side of the 300,000sf building... about to crash the entire system...

GC - RFI (Request for Information) - So where and when should we schedule the laundry shoot...LOL

Had an argument with my dad detailing how daylight savings does not add an extra hour and make the day 25 hours long... seriously, we argued for a long time, until I brought it up online to show him.

if you lean on a rail and the rail moves you will fall.....apparently......lmao

Not quite a sighting, but it certainly falls in the idiot category.

Tech Support: "Just call us back if there's a problem. We're open 24 hours."
Customer: "Is that Eastern time?"

Oh my gosh. Lol. What a riot.

Today am while coming back from taking my daughter to school - Cattle on the roadway (about 30 0r so).. as I am calling 911 - sheriff comes by from behind me and asks " Is there a problem????"... me "Yes, just trying to get help to gather the cattle heard"... his reply " Did you call 911, I am on my way to an accident?" .. me "Yes... so who is going to babysit this little black angus heard?".... his reply "They don't look too threathning or vicious!".... " and this road is not traveled very much"... LOL On my way back from informing that his heffer no 39 and the gang in on the road.... I see the same sheriff's car coming back... talk about an idiot!!!!! Nothing like hitting a 2000 lb cow in the middle of the road....

I remember when I was a little kid I ran my finger across a pair of scissors to see if they really were sharp. Yep, they were!

I once ordered a burger that had a lot of stuff on it. I was asked if I wanted it with all included. To be on the safe side I said I didn't want mustard on it, since some odd places have mustard on theirs and I really didn't want it. I was told I couldn't get it without mustard because mustard wasn't included.

..... *sigh* She was right, it wasn't but why make it more complicated?

A computer technical support person told me that he had a call about a computer which was not working. Yes, it was plugged in and turned on. On the other hand, the power was out so it was really dark in the office so he might want to wait and come later to fix the computer. You know, when the lights are back on.

In my Betty Crocker cookbook, from years ago, there is a recipe for sloppy joes.
After the list of ingredients that begins with the meat and ends with the buns,
the instructions state to brown the meat, drain; then add the remaining ingredients to the pan, escept the buns.!!

Cracks me up every time.

Those types of recipe instructions are for idiots like me. Everything has to be spelled out in a recipe so I'll know what I'm doing--and I still get things wrong.......

I had a friend that thought airplanes could stop in the air I said to her that they couldnt she pointed to one a fair ways away and said see its not moving I asked her why one would even stop in the air and she said to get gass then I asked her if she has ever seen a flying gass station lol
