I wanted a smile today…. so I dug back into the T4D archives looking for one and found the “Idiot Sightings” from 2004. The sad fact that I can relate to at least 2 of them was enough to make me smile & laugh. I hope it has the same magical effect on you.
IDIOT SIGHTING #1: I work with an individual who plugged his power strip back into itself and for the life of him couldn’t understand why his system would not turn on.e same magical effect on you.
IDIOT SIGHTING #2: I was at the airport, checking in at the gate when an airport employee asked, “Has anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?” To which I replied, “If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?” He smiled knowingly and nodded, “That’s why we ask.”
IDIOT SIGHTING #3 At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker who was leaving the company due to “downsizing,” our manager commented cheerfully, “This is fun. We should do this more often.” Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the- headlights stare.
IDIOT SIGHTING #4: When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told the keys had been 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 side, I instinctively tried the door handle and discovered that it was unlocked. “Hey,” I announced to the technician, “It’s open!” To which he replied, “I know – I already got that side.”
Just keep your money…. and make it a great day. ![]()
