STAY ALERT!
They walk among us ... and they
REPRODUCE!
IDIOT SIGHTING:
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."
Happened in Hobart, Tasmania

IDIOT SIGHTING:
The traffic light on the corner buzzes when its safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine.
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 Brisbane, Queensland

IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker.
She was leaving the company due to "downsizing."
Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often"
Not another word was spoken.
We all just looked at each other with that rabbit-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a bunch at Telstra.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power cord back into itself and for the sake of her own life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.
A secretary with the Education Department's office no less.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband and I arrived at car dealership to pick up our vehicle, 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 drivers 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, "its open!"
His reply, "I know - I already got that side."
This was at the Ford dealership in Geelong, Victoria!
They walk among us ... and they
REPRODUCE!
