Be Careful Out There:

IDIOT SIGHTING:
We had to have the garage door repaired. The Sears repairman told us that one of our problems was that we did not have a "large" enough motor on the opener. I thought for a minute, and said that we had the largest one Sears made at that time, a 1/2 horsepower. He shook his head and said, "Lady, you need a 1/4 horsepower." I responded that 1/2 was larger than 1/4. He said, "NO, it's not." Four is larger than two.."

We haven't used Sears repair since.

My daughter and I went through the McDonald's take-out window and I gave the clerk a bill. Our total was .25, so I also handed her a quarter. She said, "you gave me too much money." I said, "Yes I know, but this way you can just give me a dollar bill back." She sighed and went to get the manager who asked me to repeat my request. I did so, and he handed me back the quarter, and said "We're sorry but they could not do that kind of thing." The clerk then proceeded to give me back and 75 cents in change.

Do not confuse the clerks at McD's.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
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 are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore."

IDIOT SIGHTING 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 lettuce.

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. 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. She was leaving the company due to "downsizing." Our manager commented cheerfully, "This is fun. We should do this more often." Not another word was spoken. We all just looked at each other with that deer-in-the-headlights stare.

This was a lunch at Texas Instruments.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
I work with an individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the sake of her life, couldn't understand why her system would not turn on.

A deputy with the Dallas County Sheriffs office, no less.

IDIOT SIGHTING:
When my husband 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, "its open!" His reply, "I know. I already got that side."

This was at the Ford dealership in Canton , Mississippi

STAY ALERT!

They walk among us ... and the scary part is that they VOTE and they REPRODUCE!

I have a 2007 Honda accord EX and it did not come with the roof mounted garage door opener, can I take that system from another Honda and add it to mine? Do Honda's have the wiring installed just the componet is missing or I would have had to buy a Honda with that option?

My garage door is broken and needs to be fixed. Need help.

I have a GE refrigarator model GSH25KGPCWW The fresh food side, stopped cooling and went up to50 degrees. I went on line and got the detailed parts breakdown. I saw the Damper & thermister asm. From the freezer side I felt thru the hole and could feel the damper door. when I pushed it thru and up the cold air went thru to fresh food side. but it did not stay open so I put a small block of wood to hold damper door open and in 3 hours the temp went down to 30 degrees. take block out and door closes ad temp ges back up. I turned freezer control down to 2 and fresh food side to 6. Without the block temp goes back up. Does the thermistercontrol the damper door in relation to the temp setting on the control panal? The freezer has not lost any cold thru two days of expermintation The out side temp in calif has been over 100 degrees for a week and refrig is in the garage. It would seem that the thermister might be the problem.??????

why can't I find garage door sensors anywhere?

I know I need the same brand as my garage door opener, but I can't seem to find them anywhere.

The remote for the garage door in my car won't work, but I can get the door up and down using the switch on the wall. I changed batteries in the remote. It had just suddenly stopped working, and the remote did not get damaged in any way. It is a fairly new Genie garage door opener.
