I'm willing to bet that at least 6 of those are fiction.
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, we 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 to emergency!
Life is tough. It's tougher if you'r e stupid."
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
I'm willing to bet that at least 6 of those are fiction.

"If you're not part of the solution, you're the precipitate."
The wal-mart and credit card/ATM ones have got fake written all over them. Sure, people are dumb, but that is not serious.
Being held down by The Man

Well i guess the point was that the guy was trying to lighten people's moods and possibly thereby making their day alittle happier. (I laughed)
And you stepped in all bitter about it![]()
Personally, in a forum filled with political G-bage; I find these joke threads refreshing
"there's nothing like a healthy debate, but there's nothing more un-healthy than debating the un-debatable"
"If you're not part of the solution, you're the precipitate."
Never underestimate human stupidity, TCD. I used to work at an IT helpdesk in college, and the "ATM" one came up. They didn't actually do it, but they asked if they could.![]()
