IDIOT SIGHTING:

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave
the clerk a $5 bill. Our total was $4.25, so I also handed her a quarter..

She said, 'you gave me too much money.'

I said,'Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar 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 quarter, and said 'We're sorry but
they could not do that kind of thing.' The clerk then proceeded to give me
back 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the clerks at MacD's.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears 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 Sears
made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, 'Lady,
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 Sears repair since. Happened in Ottawa

IDIOT SIGHTING :

I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbour call the local
township administrative office to request the removal of the DEER CROSSING
sign on our road. The reason: 'Too many deer are being hit by cars out
here! I don't think this is a
good place for them to be crossing anymore.'

Story from Collingwood , Ontario .

IDIOT SIGHTING IN FOOD SERVICE:

My daughter went to a local Taco Bell 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.

From Winnipeg , Manitoba .

IDIOT SIGHTING:

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.'

Happened in Toronto , Ontario .

IDIOT SIGHTING:

The stoplight on the corner buzzes 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 buzzer 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 in Montreal , P.Q.

IDIOT SIGHTING:

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 drivers
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 got that side.'

This was at the Ford dealership in Guelph , Ontario

STAY ALERT! They walk among us...

> > We might as well get rid of Memorial Day, for all the good it does us. Originally "Decoration Day," the last Monday in May has been the designated time for us to remember the war dead and honor their sacrifice – while, perhaps, taking in the lessons of the many conflicts that have marked our history as a free nation. In line with the modern trend of universal trivialization, however, the holiday has beenpaganizedto mark the beginning of summer, when we get out the barbecue grill and have the neighbors over for hamburgers and beer. As for contemplating the meaning of the day in the context of our current and recent wars, that is left to those few pundits who pay attention to foreign policy issues, or else to writers of paeans to the "Greatest Generation" – World War II being the only modern war our panegyrists deign to recall, since it is relatively untouched by the ravages of historical revisionism.
> > Indeed, as far as our wars are concerned, the very concept of historical memory has vanished from the post-9/11 world. It seems the earth wasborn anewon September 11, 2001, and only ragged remnants of our mystified past – mostly from World War II and the Civil War – survived the purge. In the new version our victories areexaggeratedandglorified, while our defeats – e.g. Vietnam, Korea, our nasty little covert wars in Central and South America – are not even mentioned, let alone considered in depth.
> > The abolition of historical memory is one of the worst aspects of modernity: it is certainly the most depressing. For the modern man, it's an effort to recall what happenedlast week,never mindthe last century. The news cycle spins madly and ever-faster, and the result is that we are lost in the blur of Now: for all intents and purposes, we are a people without a history, who recall past events – if we remember them at all – as one would summon a vague and confusing dream.The Vietnam warwas the last major conflict that caused us to reconsider our foreign policy of global intervention for any length of time, and at this point it has been thoroughly buried in the public imagination. For a brief moment the so-calledVietnam Syndromewas bemoaned by the political class, who complained it prevented them from indulging their desire to intervene anywhere and everywhere at will. And the memory of that futile crusade did have a restraining effect for some years – untilthe passage of time,the collapse of Communism, and – finally –the 9/11 terrorist attackswiped the slate clean.
> > Never mind remembering the lessons of Vietnam – we've repressed even the bitter lessons of our most recent "past" conflict, thedisastrousinvasion and occupation of Iraq. No sooner had we fallen into that quicksand then we promptly forgot whopushed usin – which is whythe authorsof that disastercontinueto function as foreign policy mavens and political seers whose reputations are considered sterling. Theneocon clique, and any number of politicians of both parties who fulsomely supported that war, today act as if they have nothing to apologize for, and nothing to regret: far from being repentant, they are, if anything, proud of their advocacy, secure in the knowledge that "everyone" believed Iraq possessed "weapons of mass destruction," and smug in the certainty that no one of any consequence has anything to gain by raising the subject.
> > Who really remembersthe Kosovo war– that is, the war as it unfolded? We were told as many asa hundred-thousandKosovars were being exterminated, and yet at war's end we founda few thousand– Serbs and Kosovars in equal number – had been murdered. The trial of a man namedRatkohas the War Party mythologizing that conflict, as is its wont: unfortunately for them, the kangaroo court known as the Hague Tribunal has been adjourned in that case,perhaps permanently, on account of the prosecution's withholding of evidence. That's par for the course: withholding evidence, suppressing truth, editing the historical record has been their modus operandi from the start, but apparently the judges had an attack of conscience in this case, and it looks like the NATO-crats won't get their show trial after all.
> > Who really remembersthe Korean war? Not even writers whose major interest is foreign policy are capable of recalling it as it was actually fought. Rachel Maddow, MSNBC anchor and liberal voice, recently wrotean entire bookbased on the premise that Republicans are primarily responsible for "the unmooring of American military power" from either constitutional or political restraints – forgetting (if she ever knew) it wasHarry Trumanwho set that precedent when he sent US troops to Korea without bothering to ask Congress first.
> > I don't blame Rachel: history is a forgotten discipline, practiced selectively when it is invoked at all. These days it is best not to contemplate the past too much, or too intently, because comparison with the present is bound to depress us. An ice-cream cone bought for a Memorial Day picnic used to cost a dime: todaynothingcosts a dime, not even alms to a beggar.
> > To recall past wars is to recall their folly, and no one wants to be reminded of their moral and cognitive shortcomings: so we resort to mythology that valorizes the victors and paints the defeated in various shades of black – and when that's not possible, amnesia is our last resort.
> > So I say: let's rid ourselves of Memorial Day, and at least be honest with ourselves in this one instance. Let's acknowledge we'd much rather forget our history of mass murder, and rename the last Monday in May in honor ofsome pagan holiday– because Memorial Day is an oxymoron in a nation of amnesiacs....
