6 Idiot Sightings

People do the dumbest things.

I saw a lady at work today putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly.

I inquired as to what she was doing and she said she was shopping on the Internet, and they asked for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM “thingy”.


1st Person: “Do you know anything about this fax machine?”

2nd Person: “A little. What’s wrong?”

1st Person: “Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called back to say all she received was a cover sheet and a blank page. I tried it again, and the same thing happened.”

2nd Person: “How did you load the sheet?”

1st Person: “It’s a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn’t want anyone else to read it by accident, so I folded it so only the recipient would open it and read it.”


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 in this door unlocker. Now I can’t get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery for this?”

“Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?” I asked.

“No, just the 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.”


Tech Support: “What does the screen say now.”

Customer: “It says, ‘Hit ENTER when ready’.”

Tech Support: “Well?”

Customer: “How do I know when it’s ready?”


One of our servers crashed.

I was watching our new system administrator trying to restore it.

He inserted a CD and needed to type a path name to a directory named “i386.”

He started to type it and paused, asking me “Where’s the key for that line thing?”

I asked what he was talking about, and he said, “You know, that one that looks like an upside-down exclamation mark.”

I replied, “You mean the letter ‘i?’” and he said, “Yeah, that’s it!”


I was in a car dealership a while ago when a large new 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, then went in the back to make a sandwich.
