Still wonder why?
« on: November 01, 2011, 01:16:02 PM »
Sorry Skuzzy forgot about the first line. This should be better.

Who's Getting Old?
 
 





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

(Unbelievable but sadly true...)
(must have been the same one I asked for sweetener and she said they didn't have any, only splenda and sugar.)

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 woman 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 Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.' (keep shuddering!!)

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 don't know. 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....'

PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!!

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 paper from the photocopier', 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.

Brunette, by the way!!

SIX
A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had
eaten 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 even tougher if you're stupid!!!!

Someone had to remind me, so I'm reminding you too. Don't laugh.....it is all true...

Forward this to every one you can remember right now!

Sad to say but I too have experienced similar situations. Seems some just forgot what common sense is.

 :headscratch: It's sad, but luckily, not every single person is like this.

One thing I hate other than stupid people, people who think since almost all teenagers/people under 30 are dumb, everyone else must be dumb too. Wait 10 years and we might just invent a cure for cancer and save your old, ignorant arse.

When i worked at a Dunkin Donuts in a Shaws shopping complex a truck driver came in and asked me how to get to the local Shaws Supermarket. I told him to get in his truck and start it up, go through as many gears as he could, as quick as he could, when he heard the crash he arrived at the store. Now mind you he was facing the store with 16' lit lettering at night, lit up. He then asked me "How long do you think it will take me to get there." I physically showed him from the front of my store where he had to go.

Forwarding your emails to a forum??

The door you unlocked on the car probably wont help much. Most automatic locks also disable the ignition.


All funny... even funnier had they really happened.

So I am old and ignorant now?
Guess I'll post things on the squad forum where they are not as thin skinned.

sadly but true all these are fake, seen them in one form or another since the 80's.  except back then they would pass photocopies around instead of email.

 :rofl :rofl

reminds me of some kids at my school. half of the people there can't read a clock  :bolt:
there are also kids in honors reading who can't read.
there was a kid in an honors math class that couldn't multiply,and guess what they all have in common? they still manage to pass with an A :bhead

People wonder why the kids are so stupid these days.
Half the time in class we aren't doing anything in class I haven't seen something that we have actually had to think about in a while.
I practically beg for teachers that actually give us something where we our brain actually engages instead of looking up definitions in the back of some stupid history book.'
All the kids around me go, "awww man, your so smart, how did you get all A's on your report card???" my answer is always,"I have strong hands."
With how the school systems are now, I could pass without being in class one day.
They even have this program in our school called "No Child Left Behind"
It makes it where you almost have to try to get held back. With how many chances these kids get, there is no incentive for kids with an IQ over 20 to do good in nschool. :bhead :bhead :bhead

it's his use of the word "your"...after reading it a couple of times i realize he's generalizing and basically saying...older people think anyone under 30 is dumb.

hate to put the bee in your bonnet but...10 years from now high school graduates will be considered geniuses if they can actually spell something besides their birth names correctly.
