Idiot Sightings (Funny Emails #4)

I have to tell this story from work. My manager used to work in a nice restaurant, and was trying to describe that night's special to one of the employees. It was a bison burger, and the employee didn't know what bison was. My manager is telling her that it's made from buffalo, and the employee seems to be getting really annoyed. Finally, she's like "DEB, stop making fun of me. I know buffaloes aren't real!" My manager is completely dumbfounded, and tries to get this girl to understand that they are real, and that the burgers are made out of them. When the girl goes home, still angry, she asks her mom, and thinks the mom is lying. Finally she looks it up, and the next day comes in to work and apologizes.

This girl didn't just think that buffalo were just extinct, either. She thought they WEREN'T REAL and had never existed at all, like unicorns and dragons. I mean, how did this girl get through school? Early American history? Even if she did nothing but watch tv, I've seen buffalo on tv lots of times.

When in the Army as a young grunt I was a mortar gunner. Having scored "Expert" on all phases including shot accuracy and mis-fire handling, we were in a night fight and a round dropped in the tube with a thud. Hollering "MISFIRE", I then began the appropriate handling safety procedures to clear it. A "Know-it-all" platoon leader came running over asking us what was going on. I explained we had a misfire and needed to clear it.

Grabbing the flashlight off his webbing he yelled at us for being "stupid and not knowing what we were doing". He further tried to castigate us telling us how our actions were going to get someone hurt or killed. He promptly turned on the flashlight and peered down the tube and said "Yep, you're right it's a misfire".

He was transfered out 2 days later to never be seen again.

(I should send this to the Darwin Awards for honorable mention)
 
The sad thing is that there are people out there like the ones in these examples that are able to operate heavy machinery, and make our food.
 
I have encountered idiots all of my life...

I was 18, working in a lumber yard... I was driving a 30,000# forklift in the warehouse when this customer appears and asks me "hey, do you work here?" I thought he was joking around, so in my own special way, I said, "no, I dont, Sorry..." And they guy just walked away...

I worked with my Dad when I was a kid, he was a general contractor, we worked on vacant repossessed homes for the FHA, and VA. On about a million different occasions, we would be performing a site board up, usually in the rain (seemed like it rained every time) and some putz would ask.. "are you boarding it up?"... Well Duh Mr Genius!

You ever have someone ask you a question, and then argue about the answer you gave? Like hey, how many quarts are in a gallon, and you say 4 and they want to argue because they think there are 6?

I argued with some clown for 2 hours over what day it was before..
I showed him my cell phone, and he said it was wrong too...
