Dumb...Errr Stupid People !!!

[Moosie]

OK, we all have the Stories, I have a dozen, but recently I was Blown away.

So alot of times I come back from meetings or long lunches and bring the Guys at the Office gifts. Usually consisting of food (I have food lovers in the office ).

So I go to a convienient store and grab a Box of Icecream. Had 12 in there. I put it on the Counter and the Lady looked at me and said .

"SIR, this is a Full box of Ice Cream, I can't see you a box of Ice cream, I can only sell them individually".

Now, I was Floored at this statement so I said,

"MAm, Can I buy Single Ice cream ?"

"Yes"

"Can I buy 6 of them?"

"YES"

"Could I buy 12 of them?"

"Yes"

"Then why can't I buy a Box of 12. ?"

Now I put those in Quotes becasue that was our Ecxact conversation. She looked around and said, I don't know why ? I then asked her if they kept the bnox, thinking that maybe it's an Invetory thing. She said they jsut throw the Box away. I truely thought I was on Candid camera. I talked with her at least 7-8 min's tryin to convinvce her to Sell me the Dam box. I finally said, I'm buying 12 icecreams, Either give me the Dam box or Open it up and Dump them in a Bag. I'm walking out so I need you to ring them up now !!!!! Well, she looked around and then said she'd sell me them.

I mean really, she made it look like I was buying drugs or something. |oo |oo |oo

Anyone else have a "Ohh my god they are stupid" story ?

Lately I have wanted to get into duck hunting so I bought a training collar for my dog. I spen a hundred bucks on the thing and bought it from a descent sporting goods store. Well I get home and I am pretty pumped about trying out. I put it on my Dog, and cruel I know, use the remote to see if it works. Not a thing. It just makes a sound like there is electricity, but nothing happens. I read the instructions, and I change the tips to get it to work, still nothing. The dog doesn't even flinch.

So I go back to the store and ask for a refund. The teenage kid gets smart with me about it. "Did you read the instructions?" "Yes, i read them, they came on CD, so I watched it on my computer." "Well, it makes a noise so it works." "Look, my dog doesn't even react to it, that means it doesn't work, if I paid $100 for this I want my dog to react to the shock." "Well, I just can't give you a refund if this thing does what it is supposed to." "But, it doesn't, the dog simply rolled over when I pressed the button, didn't even act annoyed." "Ok, Well I am going to go and talk to my manager."

Manager-"Well did you try it out."
Me-"Yes, I did.
Manager to Clerk-"Hey try that thing on yourself."

So the kid does it. He wraps his hand around the shocking tips of the collar and trys to shock himself. At this point I was hoping it would work, but no surprise it didn't. After it didn't even get the kid to flinch they decided they could give me in store credit. Dumb kid.

Talk about stupid... I drive a bus for NJTransit, they are very anal about the time you pull out of the garage, and have spotters checking on your pull out times. This conversation actually happened one evening a couple months ago, as I was getting ready to go home.

Supervisor: I need to speak to you about Joe Smith

Me: What about him?

Supervisor: He pulls out behind you every day, right?

Me: Yes he does, but I am not sure how much time behind me he is.

Supervisor: On (gives date) did you pull out on time

Me: Yes

Supervisor: Did Joe Smith pull out behind you on time.

Me: I don't know, he pulls out behind me, like I said , I am not real sure how much time he is behind me. I know that his bus is parked behind me.

Supervisor: So you don't know if he was on time or not?

Me: No I don't

Supervisor: We have a spotter loggin him 4 minutes late pulling out.

Me: Ok, I don't know anything about it.

Supervisior: It could be possible that he pulled out late?

Me: Anything is possible, I cannot verify if he was late, early or on time.

Supervisor: Ok, please don't discuss this ongoing investagation with Joe.

Me: Thats fine with me, but he is standing right there, and heard the whole conversation.

Supervisor: Ok, then your free to discuss it with him.

Me: (outloud, not carrying who cares) and they wonder why we loose money every year.

It turns out the reason he pulled out late, his bus was broke down, they had to find him a different one. There was paper work back up on it, and the spotter pulled Joe over on the way out and asked him why he was late.

so we are supposed to have an office meeting today at lunch, so we decided to order some pizza to eat while we discuss the upcoming week. Warren askes Moosie if he could handle to food portion of it and his reply is

"yeah, did you want me to pick it up or order it?"

Warren just lets him know that ordering it is fine. well i guess Moosie had something to do, so ordering it must mean....just have mike do it....it's still means the same thing, just centered in a code i guess

"yeah, did you want me.....JUST HAVE MIKE DO IT.....to pick it up or order it?"

anyway, to the "stupid people" part of the story.
my new task is ORDER PIZZA AND HAVE IT HERE BY NOON...pretty simple huh? NO! not if you order it from papa johns. i didn't know what the specials were so i decided to look them up online. i find what we need and simply procede in ordering it online....i used to work at a pizza place and i hated answering the phones, can't imagine it being much different here. so rather then having to deal with a teenage kid that doesn't care about me, or what specials i was looking for i figured online would be easier.....WRONG AGAIN!!

the web site tells me that in order to order online i would need to place it an hour in advance. well i needed the pizza at noon, and it was telling me the earliest i could place the order was at noon....whatever ill just call them.

conversation goes as is

"papa johns how can i help you"

"yeah im trying to order online for delivery, i need the pizza's at noon and it wont let me order till noon, so i need to place an order with you"

"uh....ok"

"well i need to get the special that is two large pizza's with 2 toppings for $19.99"

"uh.....we don't have that special"

"you don't have that special?"

"nope"

"but im looking at your website right now, and it says you do"

"well im not aware of that special"

"well can i just tell you what it is, and the price and you could just make it for me?"

"can you hold on for just a minute?"

"su......(elevator music).....re"

--5 or 6 minutes go by before he gets back on the line--

"are you still there?"

"yep"

"so you are having trouble ordering online?"

"yeah, i need the pizza by noon, and it wont even let me order until then"

"well, uh......."

"can i just send the order online so i can get that special, and when it comes through can you just disregard that it can't be ordered untill noon and just make it for me so i can have it on time?"

"uh.....i think we might be able to"

"ok i just clicked submit, just let me know when it pops up on your screen"

"well it wont pop up for a few minutes, can you just call us back in 20 minutes?"

"su.............(click)...........re"

that little bastard. so i waited for about 12 minutes because by then it was already 11:15.

"papa johns"

"yeah i just called about ordering online"

"yeah it has gone through to our computer, but i can't read it untill 12:15"

"well im just going to tell you what i ordered and could you please just start working on it? i really need those at noon"

"o...ok"

"ok, the first one is an all meat pizza, the second has ham and pin....."

"pineapple, and the third is (and he lists off all the toppings on the third"

"uh...yeah, i thought you didn't have my order yet?"

"well it just popped up"

"so you had it the whole time?"

"yeah but i can't start it until 12:15"

"i thought you were gonna start it now, and get it to me by noon"

"o yeah....well your total is $39.19 and it will be there in an hour, thanks for calling papa johns"

"no pro.......(click).....blem"

THAT LITTLE BASTARD!!

dispite all the drama, we did get our pizza's at noon. but holly hell, ive never had that much trouble ordering a damn pizza.....

 

[heelerdog]

Stoopid people is my business and business is way to good.

 

[IDHunters]

We have a pretty decent, albeit expensive pizza place here called Pier 49. (sourdough crust). They have a special 1 topping pizza for like $9.

So I order a pizza with canadian bacon,

Then I say..can I get pineapple on that?

No, the special is for 1 topping only

I know, I will pay extra for you to add pineapple

But the special is for 1 topping only

I know, but why can't I pay extra and have you put pineapple on it?

Sir, we are already loosing money on this special............

(I really hate it when I try to give people money and they won't take it)

I LOVE PIER 49.......you must be in Poky?

[Bambistew]

I tried to buy 2 items that were 3 for $10, they only had two left and the kid coudn't figure out how much to charge me... I said how about $5, he said sure...

 

[IDHunters]

"I LOVE PIER 49.......you must be in Poky?"

You got it. Don't claim the town, but it is in a pretty good location to go to other places!

[QUOTE ordered a 12 inch sub at Subway a while back and the lady informed me "We don't have 12 inch subs, only 6 inch and footlong][/QUOTE]

This happened to me on Tuesday at a Subway in Doylestown, Penna. Only she said it with an Indian accent. I said ok, and left, I ain supporting somebody that stupid, that cannot understand the language.

 

[Desert Sheep]

There is a state park where I go horse back riding. It costs $5 to get into the park and they have a guard shack with a guy who takes your money and hands out information.

So I pull up to his window in my crew cab pickup pulling my horse trailer.

He asks me "Are you going for a horse back ride?"

I said "No, I'm just taking my horse for a ride in the trailer, he really likes it."

 

[wilecoyote76]

I call my dad the other day and tell him that I will be working a new schedule of 4 10 hour shifts.

He then says, "So, you'll finally be working Monday through Friday?"

I promptly reply, "What? Are you kidding me? That's 5 days. What part of 4 10's don't you understand?

Dad responds, "Don't give me any chit or you're out of the will!"

I couldn't help laughing at him the whole time. I guess the sedative from his foot surgery hadn't completely worn off yet....


Man, I hope these kind of genes aren't inherited. I would hate to grow up and be like my old man!
