How do these people survive?



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...)


TWO

I was checking out at the local Woolworths 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!!!!

I went out for the evening in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We were going to a blues club and having a few drinks, so we walked. On the way back, after quite a few drinks, we went to a fast food drive through for a burger, cos I'd got the munchies. They wouldn't serve me, because I wasn't driving. The police stopped on their way past - presumably a pedestrian is a very unusual sight in Fort Wayne. They also told me I couldn't have a burger from the drive through if I wasn't driving and helpfully suggested I go and get my car and then come back again and then I could have a burger. I pointed out I'd been drinking so that wasn't a good plan. They said it would in fact be fine.


"So. I can drink drive, but I can't be walk around with a burger?"


"Yes Ma'am."

Yes it's all very amusing and sorry to be a wet blanket but if someone started a thread saying, for example, "Irish people are really stoopid" and then we all got on there with our anecdotes, it wouldn't take long before someone called "foul".

Except, unlike irish people, the stereotype about Americans isn't perpetuated by the occupying nation


If people started a thread highlighting some very stupid things that happened in Irish shops or whatever in 2010 I would probably nod and go "yep".


that said there can be a reflex anti-americanism attitude everywhere, which does grate.

Another gas station attendant in Georgia, back the 70's, told me, "Hey Man, I just love your accent". I told her I liked hers too, as I was rushing off to the 'bathroom'. Ten minutes later as I walked out she shouted after me, "Hey Man, I'd just love to sit on your accent for a while"! One of the most endearing things I've been told.

Yeah mock the stupid "Them over there" if it makes you feel better


Trouble is I've met many "Smart" people who can't change a lightbulb or the spare wheel on their car


What's easier "Six nuggets" Or "Half a dozen nuggets" by economy of words in a "Fast food" environment, the later is a bit clunky, no ?

I didn't know that. Do they all speak with British accents there too?

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
