This is another funny email I recently received. Just wanna share it with you guys.

Life is tough…

1. 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 McNugget.

2. 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.

3. 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.”

4. 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.”

5. 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.

6. 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&nb sp; emergency!

IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
I live in a semi-rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call the local township administrative office to request the removal of the Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: “too many deer were being hit by cars” and he didn’t want them to cross there anymore. This one was from Kingman, KS.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
1. 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 re plied, “If it was without my knowledge, how would I know?” He ! sm iled knowingly and nodded, “That’s why we ask.” Happened in Birmingham, Ala.

2. The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it’s safe to cross the street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of mine when she asked if I knew what the buzzer was for. I explained that it signals blind people when the light is red. Appalled, she responded, “What on earth are blind people doing driving?!” She was a probation officer in Wichita, KS

3. At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker 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. This was a bunch at Tex as Instruments.

4. I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life of her couldn’t understand why her system would not turn on. A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff’s office no less.

5. 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 .” This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!

Life is tough…it’s tougher if you’re intellectually challenged. I don’t wanna use the S word. It’s kinda harsh. Hehe

    @cruise – that cashier must have been absent or sleeping during the orientation for her not to know bout the divider thingy or maybe she can be from a different planet. hehe

    @ade – hahaha. that's hilarious. maybe we can add that one here. :D

    @pandabonium – us filipinos, we eat almost any part of the chicken. we even have names for them. in our local barbeque stands, they sell different parts of the chicken. we even have names for them like adidas (chicken feet), i-saw (chicken intestines), betamax (chicken blood), etc.

    @rose – ok lang yon. if you're new here in the US, there are a lot you need to learn about. it's the same for everyone when you go to some place new. things you need to learn here are terms for the coins like penny, dime, etc. also when you buy something from any fastfood chain they ask if it's "for here" or "to go", but in the Philippines, they say "dine in" or "take out". stuff like that. it's a learning experience.

    ;)

    @ymir – yeah, true but sometimes you also pity them.

    I got a caller the other day. She was like:

    CALLER: "I can receive email, but I can't send them."

    ME: "So you need assistance in resolving your email issue, right?"

    CALLER: "No, I need to know what my email address is!"

    ME: "WTF?"
