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!
Idiots In The Neighborhood
I live in a
semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call 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!
Sighting #1: I was at the
airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee asked, "Has
anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I said,
"If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and
nodded knowingly, "That's why we ask.
Sighting #2: The stoplight
on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an
intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she asked if I knew what the
buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to blind people when the light is
red. She responded, appalled, "What on earth are blind people doing
driving?"
Sighting #3: I worked with
an Individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of
her could not understand why her system would not turn on.
Sighting #4: When my husband
and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told that
the keys had been accidentally 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's side, I instinctively tried the door handle and
discovered it was open. "Hey," I announced to the technician,
"It's open!" "I know," answered the young man, "I
already got that side."
