Default They Walk Among Us
They Walk Among Us...

I walked into a Quiznos with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon, to get two sandwiches. I handed the coupon to the girl and she looked over at a little chalkboard that said "buy one-get one free". "They're already buy-one-get-one-free", she said, "so I guess they're both free". She handed me my free sandwiches and I walked out the door. They walk among us...

=======================

A friend of mine bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free to good home. You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. My friend decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for Sale - $50." The next day someone stole it. They walk among us...

=======================

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" One of them looked up at the sky and said, "Where?" They Walk among us...


=======================

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was North because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for quite sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff." They Walk Among Us...

=======================

I used to work in technical support for a 24 / 7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Well, Pacific." They Walk Among Us...

=======================

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think that she would get sunburned because the car was moving." They Walk Among Us...

=======================

My neighbor's wife has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk. They Walk Among Us...

=======================

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount. They Walk Among Us...

=======================

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned. They Walk Among Us...

=======================

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?" They Walk Among Us...

=======================

While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces." Yep, They Walk Among Us...

They Walk Among Us... I can say that working in a call center is a pretty good way of getting to "They Walk Among Us..."conclusion, i remember one day some woman called about her computer mouse because it radiated some "strange" red light. Another was about a guy who nearly drived the technician crazy, the man called because he couldn't switch on his PC, the reason (which was discovered after much tribulation) was an electricity breakdown

BTW Scott you should've posted those in the morning, i mean GMT morning. Good stuff as always.

I wish you hadn't posted it so early in the morning. I had to get up sooner than I did in order to read it.

LOL Joe...

Here are some more for you... (British Summer Time...) from a US site...:

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.
This one was from Kingman, KS.
______________________________________________
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.

And he was a Kansas City chef!
______________________________________________
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 Birmingham, Ala.
______________________________________________
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?!"
She was a probation officer in Wichita,KS
______________________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING:
At a good-bye luncheon for an old and dear coworker who was leaving the company due to "downsizing," our manager commented cheerfully, this is fun. We should do this more often."
Not a word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.
This was a bunch at Texas Instruments.
______________________________________________
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.
A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriff's office no less.
______________________________________________
IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my wife 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."
This was at the Ford dealership in Canton, Mississippi!

Returning from the Steveston Tournament we arrive at the border. After explaining we were returning from a tournament the guard asks, "Do you always cross the border?" I wanted to answer only if I want to get into Canada, otherwise I stay home. We answered no, we do not go very often and he let us go. He did not seem to have a sense of humor.

Not sure what he was fishing for. Thank you Homeland Security act. I have had a couple at the airport as well. They like to test my sleep apnea machine all the time. The only thing it blows up is my lungs.

Security Guard at Newark Airport stopped me at the X-ray Machine because she saw a suspicious object in my pc bag. She corteously asked me what it was and I apologized for forgetting about the soda I had put there. She asked me to drink it or ditch it. As I was drinking it, her colleague showed up with a lady's handbag and gleefully showed the plastic lighter she was about to confiscate. She didn't seem to object to the 5-pack of lighters in the clear plastic bag...

I remember this one.. still makes me chuckle.

I think I already posted up here somewhere about my sister driving down the highway till she saw a road sign that said "no passing".. so she pulled over to the side of the road

I went to the US for the first time and was detained for 2 hours because I didnt have a phone number for where I was going. The Homeland security guy looks over my brand-new never-been-used-before passport and asks me "do you often travel overseas without a contact number?"......

eerrrrr...

I was holding a tray of soft drinks at work and this little old woman walked up to me and asked me something, pointing to a glass of water. The music was too loud for me to hear what she was asking but I assumed she was asking if it was water so I nodded and shouted "yes" at her. She took the glass and came back twenty minutes later to scream in me ear "THIS IS WATER!!" I shouted "YES?" back and she answered "I ASKED IF THIS WAS LAGER!!!" They walk among us...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ScottUK Sorry mate

About a year back, one of my students came into the changing room before keiko, brandishing his keiko and interrupted a noisy changing room banter session with the following:

Him: "Gibbo, can I ask you a question"
Me : "Shoot"
Him: (Holds up keikogi with mysterious white substance liberally applied all over the back of it) "Do you think this is flour, or mould?"
Me : "How much baking have you done whilst wearing your keikogi?"
Him: "Er, none?"
Me :"Mould, then....."

Closer than you think my friends, closer than you think....

Don't know about Australia, but in Canada we are required to get a new passport every 5 years, they don't renew the old ones. So having a new passport is no indication that you have never travelled overseas.

I remembered one of the news about a young woman body had been found mauled inside a cheetah quarter in the zoo in the morning. She was known as an animal lover and activist. The zoo keeper said she must sneeked in at night right before they closed.

They no longer walking among us...

They walk among us - because they can't move their chairs to sit with us.

Oooh, I got the best one ever.

A colleague calls a meeting, in which there is a conference call, as soon as everyone joins she asks the callers to go on mute, waits a few seconds and asks: 'Ok, is everyone on mute?', a long silence follows, she looks confused.

They walk among us....
