Stupid people do stupid things!

Post by neorichieb1971 »

We all do stupid things. I once asked the motorcycle shop which method they used to clean the wheels on their used stock, because they were so God damn clean.

They said "we just use a bit of elbow grease you know!". I'm mystified as i've never heard of a product called "elbow grease".. So I ponder for a second and then ask where it is in the store or where I can buy this so called "elbow grease". Being a quick witted person (I knew him personally) he directs me to the autozone car store down the road and tells me the stuff costs $5. Well I did'nt have any cash. My mate see's i'm a tad upset of not being able to shine some brilliant white wheels when I got home, so he dives into his pocket to give me a $5 bill :lol: .. So off I walk down to the strip mall where the autozone is located, I immediately find some grease products, but obviously no elbow grease. I ask for assistance and get a stare I will never forget, it as a bit like :?: or WTF!

At this point I realized what a ****ing retard I am, i'd be walking swinging my arms in a type of "U ****ing idiot" song and dance.. As I get nearer to the motorcycle store I regain my normal posture, use the window reflection to make sure i'm all cool and shit, then steadily pace myself back into the motorcycle store where they are all dying of laughter, horrendous stitches all round.. My mate even almost knocked over a brand new YZF600R.



???? IDIOT 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? "Too many deer were being
hit by cars," and he didn't want them to cross there anymore. This one
was from Kingman, Kansas.
?

????? IDIOT IN FOOD SERVICE
????? My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She
asked the person behind the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he
was sorry, but they only had iceberg.
?

????? IDIOT SIGHTING
????? 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."
Happened in Birmingham, Alabama.
?

????? IDIOT CROSSING????
????? The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe
to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged
coworker of mine, when she asked if I knew what the buzzer 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 was a probation officer in Wichita, Kansas.!
?

????? IDIOT TALKING
????? At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was
leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented
cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often!" Not a word was
spoken. We all just looked at each other with that
deer-in-the-headlights stare. This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.
?

????? IDIOT WORKING
????? I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into
itself, and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would
not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's Office, no less.
?

????? IDIOT WORKING-2
????? When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick
up our car, 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, "it's open!" To which he replied,
"I know - I already got that side." This was at the Chevy dealership in
Rock Hill, South Carolina!

I dealt with all kinds of idiots during the two years I spent in tech support, although there were few memorable stories from that time. Most of the time it manifest itself in the form of general thick-headedness and failure to follow instructions.

Mechanic and luser goes to car. Mechanic starts the car. Everything is
working perfectly.

- See?! It won't start at all!
- What? It seems to be working just fine.
- No, it doesn't! Listen!

Mechanic listens. The engine makes engine-noises.

- I hear nothing wrong.
- No! That's what I'm saying! It's not working!

Mechanic has a moment of inspiration, leans into the car and turns a
knob. Luserish music is heard from the car radio.

- Is it working now?
- Yes! I don't understand why they make these things so hard to use!
