&()%%&)(*&^%^%^&^**^&&*(*(& IDIOTS.
Went with a friend to our bi-monthly Flea Mkt to sell some ammo, knives and maybe a firearm or two. Did Great with ammo, and a couple knife trades.
Here is where the Idiot came in.. I have a sign that reads DO NOT HANDLE FIREARMS WITHOUT PERMISSION....
Before I could get a word out of my mouth this Idiot woman reached in the case and took out the Kel Tec .380, pulled the trigger once and pointed the gun at her friend and pulled the trigger and said Bang.. I went off at that point and told here (lady) not the word I used, Put the gun down you stupid *, She said, what did I do? The gun isnt loaded is it? I was so damn mad at this point I just told her to get away from my booth and go figure it out for herself what she did wrong. Now this was not a spring chicken by any means. She came by later and apologized and I gave her a quick lesson in firearms safety.. [:(][:(]

IDIOTS IN SERVICE
This week, My phone went dead and I had to contact the telephone
repair people. They promised to be out between 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
When I asked if they could give me a smaller time window, the pleasant
gentleman asked, "Would you like us to call you before we come?"
I replied that I didn't see how he would be able to do that, since
our phones weren't working. He also requested that we report future
outages by email. I asked him, "Does YOUR email work without a
telephone line?"
IDIOTS AT WORK:
I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the
clerk noticed I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card.
She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the
card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary
to compare the signature I had just signed on the receipt. So I signed
the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature to
the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it,
they matched.
IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
I live in a semi rural area. We recently had a new neighbor call
the local township administrative office to request the removal of the
Deer Crossing sign on our road. The reason: "too many deer were
being hit by cars" and he didn't want them to cross there anymore.
IDIOTS 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.
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."
IDIOT SIGHTING
The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it's safe to cross the
street. I was crossing with an intellectually challenged coworker of
mine when 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?"
IDIOT SIGHTING
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into
itself and for the life of her couldn't understand why her system would
not turn on.
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 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."

That is all.
Good night.[;)]
I hand the teller the withdraw slip and my license. She copies the number to the withdraw slip as usual then asks me the last four # of my social which I tell her. Then asks me my birth date??? I told her it's on the license that's still in front of her. She says they need me to verbally give my birth date and says I know you've been here before but we still need you to tell us your birth date. I told her this is insane then tell her my birth date. Then she asks me for my phone number which is on file. In disgust I tell her the number that's been on file for 17 years.
I am so fed up with idiots. I know this isn't the tellers doing. But for the love of god she recognized me yet still asks these idiotic questions with my license on front of her WITH my picture on it and my account number on the withdraw slip.
Heaven forbid I should walk into a bank with cameras all over the place and withdraw $200 from someones account.
The friggin doctors office is the same way. Does anyone really think someone is going to call and schedule a colonoscopy using my name and information???
read some of the * comments below... freaking sheep every last one of them... me thinks CNN is selectively posting the comments... there are a few of "us" but not many.
Now the National Guard have to go in and risk their lives for these fools. Should just leave them and let them fend for themselves.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
You never know what Mother Nature has in store for you.
prolly not.
I don't think you should have mandatory evacuation, but if there is, you definitely shouldn't rescue those who don't leave.
Sure, they can stay....at their own risk!

There will always be the Harry R. Trumans of the world.
Interesting coincidence, I just hiked his former home site this past weekend
If you have a storm shelter are you exempt from mandatory evac orders?
If you need to be rescued you are out of luck.
I've lived through too many hurricanes. I like tornados less. But I respect them both.
It's Harry S. Truman
Any reason why you got his middle initial wrong ?

I don't think we should help them at all.

Harry R Truman stayed at Spirit Lake at the foot of Mt St Helens and refused to leave when the eruption was imminent. (No google search here, I remember that guy from a story in national geographic)
Yep, and he's still there. It was his decision, and I appluad him for it.
