Thread: Folks, be prepared for this.

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 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 in to emergency!

Life is tough...
it's tougher if you're stupid.

It is all so true...

Common sense is not very common.

The other day in the McDonalds drive-thru line, I ordered the chicken mcNugget happy meal for my girl and stated that we wanted the boy toy (Hot Wheels toy as opposed to the Barbie Dancing Fairies one that she definitely didn't want). The voice from the box repeated back. Then pulled up to the first window where you pay. I was asked which toy and I stated the boy toy.

Then I pulled up to the second window where you actually get the food. The woman looked at our car (probably seeing a girl in the booster seat in the back) and disappeared for some seconds and returned and handed the sack and drink to me. I passed the bag back to the girl, who immediately spotted the Barbie toy. I had pulled up a bit by that time, so I put the car in reverse before the car in back of me got to the window. The woman at the window was looking at me in a quizzical manner even when I gave her the "girl toy." I pointed out that I had asked for the boy toy. Finally got the boy toy and as I was leaving the parking lot, pointed out to the girl that that's why one must never assume (I could have been picking up the meal for another child).

Another fast food story: years ago when I still ate hamburgers, I stopped at the local Burger King and ordered a plain cheeseburger, emphasizing no mustard, pickle, etc. I said just the cheese.

got home and unwrapped the burger. Inside was the patty and the cheese slice. no bun. And this was before the low carb craze.

Yesterday, a neighbor ask me to drive her to pick up her car which had been serviced. I'm all ready to go when she pulls out of her driveway in her husband's "hunting truck".

She told me that now she was going to drop the truck off to be serviced (oil changed) like she'd promised her husband she'd do.

I suggested she drop the truck off and drive her car home ... and when the truck was ready she would need me to drive her THEN ... not for this trip.

She thought about it for a minute and said, "You right! You're so smart."

Note: She actually is BLONDE!

I get Mickeys every sunday since we moved here 8 years ago!! The have never once got the order right!! They give it all to me, I pull over and park, and check all the bags!! Then I go in and tell them what is wrong, what to change, or what I need!!After a month, 8 years ago, the manager says when he sees me come thru the door, "Take care of her first" and smiles!! Still happens every week!! LOL

I honestly believe that common sense has gone out the window I see that every day at work.

Geez Sue, so after 8 not so long years, they still haven't got it right? Amazing. As some have stated, common sense isn't too common anymore.
Patty and LuLu, what can I say.

Gosh, Sue, you must really like Mikeys!
