    If you think you're rubbish at your job, don't worry....

    When there's people like this out there...


    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 McNuggets.

    2) I was checking out at the local Walmart 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) My neighbour 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?"

    7) 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.

    "Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid."

    My mums car has a remote unlocker thing, and no alarm. If you dont use the remote thing then yes, you can unlock the doors and get in the car, but it wont start because of some clever immobolizer thingy. Yes...I have tried...it'll start the starter motor, but wont actually spark or something so it sounds like its just crap and wont start. What is this strange car my mum has? A Renault Clio.
