And We Are Well Educated????

[critter crazy]

I was at the checkout of a K-Mart. The clerk rang up $46.64 charge. I gave
her a fifty dollar bill. She gave me back $46.64. I gave it back to her and
told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor and gave her the money
back. She became indignant and informed me she was educated and knew what
she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the Money back
again...same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64.
This actually happened to me in Austin at MoPac Blvd and Parmer Lane.

I walked into a Mickey D's with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a
sandwich. I handed it to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard
that said "buy one-get one free." "They're already buy-one-get-one-free",
she said, "so I guess they're both free" She Handed me my free sandwiches
and I walked out the door.

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them
shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and Said,
"Where?"

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which
direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him
up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my
brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for Sometime, she
shook her head and said, "Oh I don't keep up with that stuff."

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I Got a
call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was Open. I
told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a Week." He
responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the Call
quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific."

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a Seat
belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were
discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The Cashier
multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the
lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up.
She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained Professional
and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, has your plane arrived yet?"

While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small Pizza to
go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut
into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before Responding.
"Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6
pieces."
...............Yep, They Walk Among Us!



They Walk Among Us, AND they reproduce, and WORST OF
ALL...................................they VOTE!

[RICHARD]

They drive, hold office and run businesses, too1 :eek:

[Marigold2]

LOL Yup and a lot live in Cleveland, Ohio.

[Lady's Human]

Ahh, Cleveland........one of the VERY few places I've seen while driving across the US that feels the need to put signs up on the interstate to tell people what to do in case they have an accident.

[Marigold2]

LOL get out of town

[Catty1]

LOL! I sent that to a few friends! Thanks!

[Oggyflute]

Very good. :D

[Laura's Babies]

They do walk among us and the really funny part is, they think they are the smartest people in the world.

[trayi52]

I was feeling really rotten this morning, but when I read this, it had me rolling in the floor, I was laughing so hard. LOL, this is the funniest thing I have read in a lonnng time!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the laugh!!!!

Willie :D

[Whisk_Luva]

:D

I showed my mum and she went downstairs laughing her head off! :rolleyes: :p :D

[smokey the elder]

Ugh, so true. We have a cashier at the cafeteria at work who makes errors with change even though the machine has you enter the amount tendered and shows the change due!

[Catty1]

A friend I sent this to emailed me an experience of hers:

"How about this one:
Several years ago, at a bottle return depot, I was given substantially more
refund than I was expecting. When I pointed this out, I was answered with a
string of verbal abuse for questioning the amount. While delivering this
tirade, he recalculated the amount, and finding his mistake, thrust the correct
amount of money at me and shouted "see, now you get even less money".
Needless to say, I left there shaking my head."

:D

And then there really ARE smart folks among us, and they don't always have a college degree either!

As a growing teenage boy, my brother (like most males of that age) was a bottomless pit when it came to food.

One day Mum had thawed out hamburg meat and was getting ready to make him his lunch. (Don't worry, sometimes she made he make it, that's not part of this story.) So she asked him, "Do you want one burger or two?"

My brother: "TWO!"

So Mum took a knife, cut the meat in two pieces, and made him two burgers!! :D He STILL talks about it -- Mum's been gone over 13 years and he is in his 40's now!

[lizbud]

I love it. :D They do walk among us & they don't have a clue. :)

Worst I've met lately was a pizza delivery lady. I gave her a 20.00 for
a 14 dollar pizza & when she fished for change in her pocket, held out
her hand for me to pick my change from the wads of 5s, 10s & 20s.she
held. I couldn't believe she didn't know how to make change. :rolleyes:

[IRescue452]

Lol, this is so true. I usually have the amount of my purchases added up in my head before I get to the checkout, the cash register does the actual work for the cashier, and yet they continue to make mistakes.

[cassiesmom]

Unh-huh. About a month ago, I got a call from the bank where I had used the ATM the previous evening - had I found five $20 bills on the pavement? I said no, why do you ask? A customer had withdrawn $100 from her account, but had not received the money. She didn't realize where on the machine the bills were dispensed, and apparently they got blown away in the wind before she could take them. I said no, I hadn't noticed loose bills on the pavement. Either the customer really did get the $100 and wanted another $100, or someone who used the machine ahead of me was the one who found the bills. They walk among us...

[Catlady711]

Years ago I bought a 10 speed bike for $112, the cashier rang it up as $12!!!! I pointed it out to her and had to explain it twice before she finally (unconvincinly) charged me the full $112 for it!!! I can't believe she thought a bike sold for only $12!

My boss has a strict policy that his employees know how to make change, so his cpu program for invoices does NOT tell you what the change is, you have to figure it out yourself, although the boss does allow cheating using a calculator but basically prefers you use your brain!

When I worked in a grocery store they made sure we could make change in case the power went out we could add up the totals on a paper bag and jimmy the drawer and make change until we got all the customers out or the power came back on.

A friend asked someone at a high end swap meet how much a painting was.

The answer was a flip $12.50. So she wrote out the check for $12.50 and gave it to the man and walked off with the painting.

He must have had a heart attack later in the day when he REALLY looked at her check. Her phone number was on the check and he called her and said that there had been a terrible mistake. The cost of the painting was really
$1,250.00.

She was honest enough to return the painting to him. Betcha he never made that mistake again and always is clear on the true cost.

[cocker_luva]

i lost almost all faith in humanity afew years back...

i was workin at the front desk at a dog grooming salon. we had about 20+ dogs professionally cleaned and cut; and owners bringing in their dogs to wash them theirselves.

a man came in to pick up his dog that got a bath and a haircut. he said, and i quote, "Wow, it smells like wet dog in here."

he was completely serious and i just mentally shook my head.

[Cataholic]

I must confess, I am SO not good with math. Of course, I can quickly calculate my fee on a contingency case, BUT, struggle with the very simple math. Always have. Used to be I was ashamed of it. Now, I laugh at myself (usually after the person I am dealing with starts to laugh). Oh well. :o

:D back in my grocery checker days (and yes, I knew how to make change :rolleyes: ), a man bought an abolutely HUGE bunch of bananas. I put them on the scale and computed the price. He said, "that can't be right, they're 49 cents a bunch." I calmly told him, "no, they are 49 cents a pound".
