Funny: How Do These People Survive?
 

Recently, when I went to McDonald's I sawon the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 ChickenMcNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have halfdozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' Ireplied. 'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So Ican't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' She repliedback, 'That's right.' So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets.




I was checking out at the local Wal-Martwith just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on thebelt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keepby the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn'tget mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked upthe 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scanit. Not finding the bar code she said to me, 'Do you know how muchthis is?' I said to her 'I've changed my mind, I don't think I'llbuy that today.' She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and

left. She had no clue to what had just happened.




A lady at work was seen putting a creditcard into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When Iinquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on theInternet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she wasusing the ATM 'thingy.'




I recently saw a distraught young lady weepingbeside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'Iknew 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 distantconvenience 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 keyand manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive overthere and check about the batteries. It's a long walk.'




Several years ago, we had an Intern who wasnone too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary andsaid, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just usecopier machine paper,' the secretary told her. With that, the interntook her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on thephotocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies.




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

lol! Those made me laugh! How stupid can some people be??

hahahaha too funny!!!

Absoluteluy hilarious. Thank you for a mid-afternoon smile! I actually had a kid at K-Mart try to scan the divider once.... it's like hummmmm.... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

OMG, I'm laughing so hard I'm crying!!!

Maybe she didn't know how to open the photocopier! :mad:

I only say that because I.. have a friend.. who had that same problem once. :p

Those are way too funny. :yelrotflmIt's kind of scary isn't it - what people don't know.....:eek:

Those are HYSTERICAL! that made me laugh! thanks! :)

I can definitely see myself doing the same thing with the car keys and probably with the copy machine. I lack common sense sometimes. :p

Hehehehe... we still love you anyway Kyle. :p

Thank you!!! :thumbs up:lol tears

How funny!!!! Love 'em

My favorite.

LOL those are good!

Nice ones!

:D Funny ! The sad part is a lot of people are like that !

If you really want to have some fun go to a Toys R US / Fast food restaurant where teens are working .Wait for them to ring up your order hand them your money.. WAIT for them to enter the amount you gave them into the register ,THEN hand them some extra change and say ,"oh , here use this too please." They will just stand there and stare at you with a dazed look in their eyes with NO IDEA how to count up :confused: I even had one ask ME how much change they should give me !!

I also went to TRU one time and gave the girl $75.00 for a $50 and some change total , then gave her some change after she had already rung it up because my son wanted some quarters to use ( I did it so I would get 3 quarters back) She was so flustered she gave me back the amount I had paid her $75.00 + the change ! She is lucky I am honest ( and I knew the manager) so I handed it back to her and showed her how to figure it out then told my friend he needed to have a seminar on how to count !

I made sure I taught all my kids how to count up manually. Machines can break then what the hell will they all do :rolleyes:

OMG those are so funny! Last weekend my daughter was buying incense (yes- she was born in the wrong decade:p). She was buying a box but also picked up a single that was listed as 5 for a $1.00 to try a new fragrance. When she got to the cash register the girl said, you only want this one? They're 5 for a dollar. My daughter said yes, just the one please. The girl looked panicked and then ran across the store to get a calculator.:eek: Neither of us realized she couldn't figure out the price at first or we would have helped her. Math is not my subject so I really try to be understanding about things like that but oh my goodness- it was so funny!

ROFL...these made me laugh out loud and so hard I am crying....thanks for sharing!!

OMGosh, those are so funny :lol tears, but also scary thinking that this is our future generation :eek:

OK...I just sat here for a good 30 seconds trying to figure that one out. I *did* get it, but it was hard! haha.

Seriously...I stink at math. Like...I just can't do it. At all. I work VERY hard in math class...and I get Cs. So. yeaahh. So I am *very* sympathetic towards people who have problems making change. Cause I can't do it either, and it's nice when people are sympathetic to me. =P

Vicky, I'm sorry I'm hijacking your thread ('specially cause you've already heard this story), but this happened to me a couple weeks ago at work:

I was at work. I work the back window at the drive through - I collect the money and give out change. Well, my register was broken, so I was left with a tiny calculator and my amazing ( :rolleyes: ) math skills to make correct change.

This poor guy. His order cost $4.56, he gave me $5.06. I plugged it into the calculator: 0.5. SO I gave him a nickle. He was like "This isn't correct change." and I was like "The calculator says 5 cents!" we went back and forth for like 3 minutes, when I finally held the calculator up so he could see it and typed it in and I was (not very patiently) going "5.06 minus 4.56 equals..0.5. See?" and the guy goes "...that means .50 cents."

I seriously wanted to die. Oh my gosh I was so embarrassed. I just wanted to crawl under the table and never come out.

and now, I'm looking back at it, and I'm like, well DUH of course it's 50 cents you idiot!! But I just can't function when I'm put on the spot like that...my brain shuts down! haha. and I'm not a stupid person!

LOL! Thanks for making me laugh!:D:D:D

Awww Megan, I think I had a math tutor every year in high school so I understand. I am so grateful that my husband is really good at it because it would have been very embarrassing to have had to admit to my daughter that once she reached 6th grade she could not count on me for any help with math homework.:o

Hahaha, that's okay Megan, you can hijack away. I like when people share their stories too. :D

Those were really funny. Thanks for the laughs. People are so weird.

:lol tears :eyetearss Yes sometimes that whole change thing can be :questione but this thread has made me :sidesplt: so hard

That's hilarious. They must be really stupid. I had a 'dumb' blonde moment today, which this thread made me think about but i won't talk about :rolleyes:

:eek: lol some ppl just arent that great at math, i needed a couple seconds to figure it out

Well now you HAVE to tell us!:D

BOOOOO!

Yes she does!

Come on Sarah! :p

lol well fine. Today i was downtown on 14th street, i just got off the train and i had to get to 16th street. Well the blocks are kinda long and it was raining and dark so i couldn't really read the next street sign. I don't really go there that much so i decided to ask someone. There was this couple next to me at the light about to cross so i asked 'is this way uptown or downtown?'. The girl said 'this way is north' i just looked at her with a blank stare trying to figure it out. She realized and said 'north is UP so this is going UPTOWN' LOL i just bowed my head in shame, said thanks and walked away quickly. They were prob. thinking man this girl is dumb. I could hear them laughing while walking away.
ok now everyone here can think im really stupid lol but i promise im not! i just have my moments. but yea that was what happened today

lol...there is no shortage of stupid people.
