How do these people survive?

How do these people survive?


ONE 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

TWO I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart 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.

THREE 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 I nternet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM "thingy."

FOUR 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."

FIVE 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.

SIX A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take ! her kid to the emergency room, the kid was eating ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine. The mother says, I just gave him some ant killer..... Dispatcher: Rush him in to emergency!

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

    our local KFC has 3 items listed with quanities, popcorn chicken, bbq, and strips. listed in 3, 6, or 9. Directly above this, on both the inside and outside menues says make this a value menu for whatever it is.

    I went through the drive through once, can I get a 9 piece chicken strip and make it a value meal. No we can't do that. Blah blah blah I can make it a dinner (they have a 6 piece dinner meal) but no, i don't want mashed potatos i want fries. I finally told the lady to come out and look at the menu and left. I told my fiance about this, she was like you sure you ordered correctly. yes I was.

    Well couple of weeks later, we ate inside. Same deal, well, i tried again. Nope we don't do that. They then finally figured out how to do it. Why the hell say it on the menu if you can't do it. arg

    whats funny, is i have ordered that same item from the same KFC before without any problems.

    Fellow comes up to do some business. Driving a beater with no hood and no air cleaner. I know he lives down a long red dirt road because of all the clay on it. "Don't you need an air cleaner"? "Nah, runs better without it".
    Yep, for maybe another 300 miles.

    Last week at our local supermarket they had a special on one brand of beer. $4.99 for a six pack or $12.09 for a twelve pack. Needless to say, the six packs moved a lot faster than the twelve packs.

    I assume you had to pay with a quarter, because they would not take two bits?

    those 6 packs were close dated, that was the reason they were that price. The 12 packs had better dates on them. Happens EVERY day in the beer business. Out Of Code in the market is a contractual NO-NO. Sell them dirt cheap, the customers consume them before they are past date.
