Title:     Idiot Sightings...
Date:      Wed Sep 15 21:02:07 1999

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:
At a goodbye lunch for an old and dear co-worker who is leaving the company
due to "rightsizing," our manager spoke up and said, "This is fun. We should 
have lunch like this more often." Not another word was spoken. We just looked 
at each other like deer staring into the headlights of an approaching truck.

Sighting #4:
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 #5 (a rare "double sighting"):
A friend had a brilliant idea for saving disk space. He thought if he put
all his Microsoft Word documents into a tiny font they'd take up less room.  
When he told me I was with another friend. She thought it was a good idea too.

Sighting #6 (from Tech Support):
Tech Support: "How much free space do you have on your hard drive?"
Individual: "Well, my wife likes to get up there on that Internet, and she
downloaded ten hours of free space. Is that enough?"

Sighting #7 (from Tech Support):
Individual: Now what do I do? Tech Support: What is the prompt on the screen? 
Individual: It's asking for "Enter Your Last Name."  Tech Support:
Okay, so type in your last name.  Individual: How do you spell that?

Sighting #8
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."
