IDIOTS AT WORK I was signing the receipt for my credit card purchase when the clerk noticed that I had never signed my name on the back of the credit card. She informed me that she could not complete the transaction unless the card was signed. When I asked why, she explained that it was necessary to compare the signature on the credit card with the signature I just signed on the receipt. So I signed the credit card in front of her. She carefully compared the signature to the one I had just signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.

They promised to be out between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. When I asked if they could give me a smaller time window,he asked and I quote, "Would you like us to call before we come?" He also requested that we report future outages by email. Does YOUR email work without a telephone line?????? Send this story to a friend 2 IDIOTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD 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 were hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there. Send this story to a friend 3
