My daughter and I went through the McDonald's driveway window and I gave the cashier a $5 bill.
Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her 25c.
She said, 'you gave me too much money.'
I said, 'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar coin back.'
She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 25c, and said 'We're sorry but we don?t do that kind of thing.'
The cashier then proceeded to give me back 75 cents in change.
Do not confuse the people at MacD's.
We had to have the garage door repaired.
The repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a 'large' enough motor on the opener.
I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower.
He shook his head and said, 'You need a 1/4 horsepower.'
I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4 and he said, 'NOOO, it's not. Four is larger than two.'
We haven't used that repairman since...
I live in a semi rural area.
We recently had a new neighbor call the local city council office to request the removal of the DEAR CROSSING sign on our road.
The reason: 'Too many dears are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore.'
IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE.
My daughter went to a Mexican fast food and ordered a taco.
She asked the person behind the counter for 'minimal lettuce.'
He said he was sorry, but they only had iceberg lettuce.
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.'
The pedestrian light on the corner beeps when it's safe to cross the street.
I was crossing with an 'intellectually challenged' co-worker of mine.
She asked if I knew what the beeper 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 is a government employee.....
When my husband and I arrived at a car dealership to pick up our car after a
service, 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, 'its open!'
His reply, 'I know. I already did that side.'
STAY ALERT!

That is not as bad as it is in CA. There they get at least a dozen votes, no ID required. :grin:

They give them Government jobs as well :oops:

I've actually had some of those experiences and not just recently. I remember once trying to give someone a ten, a one and a quarter and a penny for something that was $6.11. Similar response. Then when I explained I was trying to get a five back instead of a bunch of ones, they insisted I was trying to pull some kind of scam on them by confusing them. They called the manager...
Another fun thing is to pay with a $2 bill... mostly I get very strange looks but occasionally someone refuses it.
:grin:
Mike,
I would try the $2 part but they are too hard to find. When I do get my hands on one I save it.

While a cop I would regularly take my 'customers' to the local jail. Standard question by the booking officer was "Do you take any illegal drugs?" My customer instantly said no. I then reminded him that I was arresting him for possession of meth, he replied "Oh, I thought you meant other drugs, and it's not mine, I was just looking after it for a friend"
The gene pool desperately needs a dose of chlorine :wink:
Around here some folks think that a two dollar bill is bad luck - others think it's good luck.
Sorry, but somebody have to do it... :wink:

After certain auxiliary verbs such as "can" or "may," use the base form of the verb. - Word

Go to the bank and ask them for some. I often get them $100 worth at a time... and then spend them.

That's one way to promote saving. It also applies the brakes to the velocity of money. Is that good or bad for the economy, Michael? {After last Friday's market performance (and the whole week's reaction to the Chinese economic picture), I'm at a loss as to what the economy is up to.}
Sundog: "...somebody HAVE to do it"??? I has run into these people, too, but I try not to notice. As an English major, it could drive one to drink, which is a good place to be driven, I suppose.
@ Dallasbeek
