I was boarding the ferry yesterday in a Regular Cab truck, just me and a friend. The cashier asked how many people so I looked in the cab and lifted the newspaper up that was between us, then turned around and looked in the box and said just 2 I believe. then handed her payment and her sign.

This honestly happened to me last week

It's 20 degrees outside and I'm changing the headlight on my truck.. My neighbor walks up and says "headlight burned out huh?"

I said "Naww I just change them every 2000 miles if they need it or not you dumb ___ , now dont trip over the painted line in the road as you go home"

So I'm not the only person that does this! I thought I was weird.
How about this one. I stop at the 24 hour grab and go for some petrol, at about 4, 4:30. When I step inside and say "$20 in gas," the Missing Link behind the counter asks me (in a sarcastic, snotty, I'm 25, I live my parents and have no life other than sitting in my room toking up tone of voice) "OK, but which pump?" I point out the window to the empty line of pumps (except for my rig) and say "Whichever one you want." I could see the smoke pouring out of his ears tryin to figger that one out.

The next time you have a cold and someone says "have a cold?" Just say no thanks, I already have one.

I work at Walmart and have this questioned asked all the time. "Do you work here?" Now keep in mind I have a blue Walmart vest on and a name tag that both say Walmart. I just want to tell people no I don't work here, I just like to shop wearing a Walmart vest and put up their merchandise for them. "Here's your sign"

This last Halloween, we had several of the employees wore red shirts and nambe tags that said Target. We actually had a few people who thought they had went to Target. What idiots!

I hear ya there! I get that all the time at Home Depot "You work here?"

"Nope, I just thought this orange apron looked *way*hot* on me. Heres yer sign."

I was at the dump a few days ago with a big ol' load of garbage in my truck, idling in front of the landfill waiting for the guy to tell me where to toss it. Guy comes up to me looks at me, looks at the heaping garbage in my bed and, I swear to you, looks at me and says "Throwin' away some garbage today?"

"Nope, I came to add to my collection. Heres yer sign."

Had a flat on the XR, and was jacking it up when the cluesless neighbor walked out and asked me, "Got a flat?"

I looked him straight in the eye and said, "Nope, it's the damnedest thing...the other three just swelled up on me. Here's your sign."

OK, some of these are hilarious, especially the 3 tires blowing themselves up.
But, I have to ask, WHAT is up with 'here's your sign'.
I guess I missed the post on this saying.

It's from a country song called 'Your sign'. The others here will have to tell you who sings it, cause I don't have a clue.
