They walk amongst us...
I was at the checkout of a Wal-Mart. The clerk rang up a $46.64 charge. I gave her a $50 bill. She gave me back $46.64. I told her that she had made a mistake in MY favor and gave her back the money. She became indignant and informed she was educated and knew what she was doing, and returned the money again. I gave her the money back again...same scenario! I departed the store with the $46.64 in my hand!
------------------------------------
I walked into a Mickey D's with a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a sandwich. I handed it 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.
------------------------------------
One day I was walked down the beach with some friends when one of them shouted, "Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said, "Where?"
------------------------------------
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 monring. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the ast, and has for some time, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff!"
------------------------------------
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 the 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, "Uh, Pacific."
------------------------------------
My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area, so I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman 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?"
------------------------------------
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 of 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."

This happens often...I go inside to a fast food joint to place an order. I tell them first that this order is to go. After I place the order, at least 70% of the folks...any age...ask me "is this for here, or to go?".
My check-out pet peeve...The person in front of me has all their items scanned and the cashier tells them how much. It is not until then that the lady starts fumbling in her purse looking for check book like she just realized that she might have to PAY for her stuff.
I asked one gal, at a little country convenience store, if she had change for a ten. She said she probably does but, not sure how many quarters she could give me.
I don't even want to get started on turn signals
I told my oldest daughter...years ago...to get an oil change and rotate the tires on her car. She looked quite perplexed and stated that she thought the tires were turning just fine.

And while we're talking about the checkout line, why is it that no matter what line I get in, the person in front of me invariably writes a check!?
I went to McDonald's many years ago and ordered the 2 cheeseburger meal. The girl asked me if I wanted cheese on them...

That's why I'll always use my debit card or cash, and never a check. A) I don't feel like wasting 15 seconds of my life to write all of that useless crap, and B) all the places around here are going to that thing where they scan your check and give it back to you, and frankly, I don't want 200 checks in my wallet.

its not only 15 cents, one time they tried charging me like $42 for a pack of ribs that were really on sale for like $5, i caught it on the screeen display.
i don't see what is wrong with using cash or a card, i love it even more when they have to dig through their huge bag they carry looking for there check book, then they have a conversation to the cashier while writing the check, no attention or care that there are others waiting in line.
