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
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.
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."
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."
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.
I was in a car dealership a while ago, when a large motor home
was towed into the garage. The front of the vehicle was in dire need of repair and the whole thing generally looked like an extra in "Twister." I asked the manager what had happened. He told me that the driver had set the "cruise control" and then went in the back to make a sandwich.
My neighbor works in the operations department in the central
office of a large bank. Employees in the field call him when they have problems with their computers. One night he got a call from a woman in one of the branch banks who had this question: "I've got smoke coming from the back of my terminal. Do you guys have a fire downtown?"
Police in Radnor , Pa. interrogated a suspect by placing a metal
colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
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 it should be fine . The mother says, I just gave him some ant killer.....
Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency room!
Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid

I have one for you. We where at a dinner party that my cousin was having, my cousins husband had invited his boss and family to the dinner. During the conversation my cousin made mention to the resent trip her family had just made to Hawaii. The bosses 20 something daughter spoke up and said "How long does it take to drive to Hawaii?" My cousin said "you have to fly to get there." The girl responded "but I don't like to fly and would rather drive, so how long would it take me." My cousins husband being very quick to get frustrated with stupidity ask her "how long does it take to grow a brain?" she replied "I don't know I am not a doctor." Her father burst out laughing and spent the rest of the night teasing her over it.
When I was a flagger I was called in on a day off to a job site accident. When I got there a car was in the hole the crew had dug and the police where just dealing with the driver. I walked over to the officer and asked what happened and he told me that the driver got confused when the flagger tried to move her into the other lane to drive because we are in Canada not England and she has to drive on the right side not left, it's the law.
Another accident I was called to was insane. A mother running late drove past my flagger, past a whole crew of men yelling at her, into a 4 foot deep ditch they had dug for laying pipe up the ditch about 30 feet and into the back of the Gradall. She broke both her sons arms and one of his legs because she was running late and had to get him to school. She said I didn't have time to stop for them.
My husband was delivering food to one of his regular restaurant deliveries, The new girl was putting th order away. The order had 2 boxes of re-packs in it. A re-pack is when they order only a few items and not a box so they put it into a spare box with some other things to make a full box. My husband is finished unloading and she is standing there looking confused so he says can I help you check this off. She says I don't know where the peppers are my husband looks at the bill and says it in the re-pack so she replies oh we don't sever re-pack here that is wrong it should go back. The boss is standing there and he says no a re-pack is items that we order very little of open the box and look in it. She says no if we open it we can't send it back and we don't sever re-pack. The next order that went in to that restaurant the warehouse staff put re-pack stickers on every box.

Heres one fact i experiences with my girlfriend:
I was on my cycle and by some bad luck i forgot to charge my mobile and the batteries were dyuing out , in that moment i was climbing a steep hill road, at that time my girlfriend called , so i said "What ever you have to say be quick i am out of charge" and i was panting, i dont know what she took my words for and she asked in reply "Are you with some other girl ?"
I mean to say that ok i took the words wrong to describe my problem but she mistook it for something totally other way round :)

These were hilarious! I had tears in my eyes from laughing. Did you get them from someplace else or did some of them really happen to you. If the latter, send them to Reader's Digest. You might make some money! Thanks for sharing them here!

Oh this is funny and very scary. I have seen some silly things in my life and heard somethings that just make me want to shake my head. You really have to laugh though what else can you do. I told my daughter whos 14 that I needed a dozen tomatos from the tree, she asked me what number does that come after. The scary thing is she was very serious and I still stand there mouth a gap when I look at that tomato bush.lol
