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 half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?'
'That's right.'
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true...)

I was checking out at the local Walmart 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.

A woman 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'
(keep shuddering!!)

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 don't know. 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...'
PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself!!!

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 paper from the photocopier', 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.

A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......'
Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!'


Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!!
 
I was always amazed at some of the answers Jay Leno used to get on "Jay Walking". Really sad!!! [S

I am afraid alot of this is the result of parents not passing on knowledge, "common sense" to their kids. To do this they would have to spend some time with each other.

I tried to buy a foot and a half of gas line and the kid cut off a 16" piece.
 
I used to have an appliance store. I sold new and used appliances. One day a middle aged couple walked in. They walk over to a washer and dryer. "Are these for sale?" "Yes." "How much?" "The price is on the tag." He stands there looking at the machines for a minute, and i'm thinking, please God, please don't let him....."Do they work?" I wanted to slap 'em both and scream "WEREYOUBORNSTUPIDORDIDYOURMAMMADROPYOUONYOURHEAD? ???? but i just smiled and said "Yes. All my used machines have a 30 day warranty." "Do you deliver?" while staring at the big sign behind the counter that said "FREE DELIVERY WITHIN CITY LIMITS". "Sure do. Twenty bucks for the pair." Guess he was to dumb to realize he lived within the city limits.

In July 1995 i lost my younger brother. I was out at Mom and Dads house, and my wife decided we all needed to eat something. So me and the wife headed for the nearest Taco Bell. There's a middle aged woman working the register. "Let me have 3 dozen tacos." "Uhhh...how many is that..." "Well there's 12 in a dozen...so 12 times 3 would be..." "Uhhh..." "Twelve times three would be 36..." " Uhhh...so you want 36 tacos?"
 
True stories....One early morning a customer from a dental office calls in. I answer the phone, she tells me that their sterilizer isn't working and she needed a technician to get it going for the days work ahead.

As we are expected to do I asked if by chance the sterilizer had been unpluged for some reason. She replied to me that she had to find a flash light and she would check it out. I of course asked why she needed a flashlight...she said she needed it because the electricity was out.

Another time an office called and said they had an air leak in an operatory on a syringe. Being the smart a** that I am I told her to put a bucket under it. She then asked how long it would take to get someone out to fix it because they only had one small bucket.

It all depends on how hard the wind's blowing! :D

Funny stuff........you can't make this stuff up.

Years ago I worked for a company that made liquid toner for the old Electrostatic copiers. One of our salesgirls called a customer to get a reorder and the girl on the other end said they didn't like the product because the copies were getting lighter. Our salesgirl told the other girl that you have to occasionally shake the toner up to keep it in suspension.

While our salesgirl held on the customer went off to do what she suggested and a couple of minutes later she came back and said "well, we tried it but I had to get our janitor to help me because that copier is heavy and I couldn't pick it up and shake it by myself." :eek: Our salesgirl fell out of her chair laughing and told you "No, you only have to shake the BOTTLE, not the WHOLE COPIER! :D

We could only imagine her and the janitor picking up the whole copier and shaking it around. [cl
