Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old >fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying: "Free to good home. You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too untrusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale $50." The next day someone stole it. Caution... They Walk Among Us
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 morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the North?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the East, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff." They Walk Among Us!
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 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." They Walk Among Us!
My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving." They walk among us. 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.. They Walk Among Us
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. They Walk Among Us!
I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned. They Walk Among Us!
I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there 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?" They Walk Among Us!
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 or 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 pieces. Yep, they walk among us…… and reproduce!

At the time I was going to college in Utah, and everyone was getting ready to travel for Christmas break. It had been snowing, and a number of friends were gathered around talking about the weather advisories. One girl from Arizona was really worried about driving in the snow and asked about the roads. Someone responded, "Well, anyone headed north is going to run into a lot of snow, but if you're headed south the roads are still pretty clear. It's going to get better and better as you head south". She still had a very troubled look on her face and asked, "Which way do I live?"

True story... A woman called Tech Support for her computer; said it didn't work. After ten minutes of trying to solve her problem, the TS person asked her to look and see if it was plugged in. She said she couldn't tell because it was too dark - the power had gone off.
TS told her to pack her computer into the original box and send it back to the factory. The woman said, oh, do you think it's that bad? TS person said, yes, ma'm... you are obviously too stupid to own a computer.
supposedly the TS person was fired for that... funny, I'd give him/her a raise.
Another true tale...
A customer ordered a sign and then kept showing up three times a day for a week to "see how it was coming". On one of those visits the sign was on the bench, coated out, but I hadn't started lettering yet; so I just said, as a joke, Yeah, there it is, all set. He stared at it for a minute, and then said - I am NOT making this up - "That looks GREAT! but don't you think it's a little hard to read?"
...I told him it was a new product, invisible paint for blind people.
"Oh. Okay...."

True story... I went to the grocery store on Wednesday evening with my husband. I decided to pick up some lunchmeat so I stopped by the deli. I tell the woman I need 2/3 of a lb of Virginia Ham - very thinly sliced.
She looked at me like a deer in the headlights and says - 2/3rds of a lb? Uh....ummm...how do you...
I just looked at her, shook my head and said - .66 of a lb on the digital scale.
She said - OH OKAY!
This woman was at least my age and spoke perfect english. How is it possible that she had no idea what 2/3 of a lb was - she works in a deli!
