Life's tough when you're stupid...

How do these people survive?

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

TWO I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart 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, w e 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.

SIX I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home was

towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of

repair

and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I

asked

the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the

"cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.

SEVEN My neighbor works in the operations department in the central

office

of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have

problems

with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of

the

branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the

back

of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"

EIGHT Police in Radnor, PA, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal

colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy

machine.

The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed

the

copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the

truth.

Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.

NINE 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 should be

fine,

the mother says, I just gave him some ant killer.....

Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency> .

Life is tough . . . It's tougher if you're stupid

Have you seen the "kids" at McDonalds (or any fastfood chain for that matter) try to figure out how much money to give back to you when you "mess" them up by paying with bills and loose change? It's not just at fastfood chains either. We had one young lady in JC Penny who had the same problem.

Looks like they really need to do a lot better at teaching math in schools.

I work for a cable internet provider. I had a caller that needed to reset his modem. This is done by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in. Simple enough right? I tell him to unplug the power cord. He didn't understand that. So I said electrical cord. He asks me how to unplug it. So I tell him that it is the same as any other electrical appliance. He told me that I am talking too technical for him. The really sad part is that I have a similar call at least 3 or 4 times a week.
