Leftover Melancholy Removed By Idiots
Tuesday, January 26th, 2010I was having less than great day yesterday…. and today fells a bit like I am eating leftover melancholy. So dug back into the T4D archives looking for a smile and found the “Idiot Sightings” from 2004. The sad fact that I can relate to at least 2 of them was enough to make me smile & laugh. I hope it has the same magical effect on you.
IDIOT SIGHTING #1:
I work with an individual who plugged his power strip back into itself and for the life of him couldn’t understand why his system would not turn on.
IDIOT SIGHTING #2:
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.”
IDIOT SIGHTING #3
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear co-worker who was leaving the company due to “downsizing,” our manager commented cheerfully, “This is fun. We should do this more often.” Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the- headlights stare.
IDIOT SIGHTING #4:
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, 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, “It’s open!” To which he replied, “I know - I already got that side.”

Just keep your money…. and make it a great day.
