I have discovered...

...new levels of stupidity that I did not know existed. A girl that I work with was convinced today that you can have boxes of steam. Nathan was playing with the milk steamer thing on the coffee machine, and he said to Amy (the girl) "Amy, can you go and get me some steam for the steamer please?" and she actually went and asked the manager where it was :eek2:.

This scares me.

And this was the highlight of my day.

Yes, my life is that boring.

    :lol: You do get some right ditzy people working in Mc'Donalds. I've never heard anything so stupid though. How on earth did she fall for it? Did she look embarassed when she realised it was a joke?

    By the way, I'm loving your new avatar :thumb: Did you make it yourself?

    She didn't realise it was a joke. The manager she asked said "you don't need to refill it". They're all mean :p.

    And yes, yes I did, thank you ;d.

    The other day at work my mate turned up in a short sleeved shirt and a tie, and he looked like he worked in McDonalds.

    Spent all day messaging him "Big Mac and a medium coke, sitting in!" and "Can I get more cheesburgers please!"

    This had not a lot to do with the thread, but it'll do as a vehicle for my comedy :yes:

    It doesn't work unless he was wearing the hat, tbh.

    should have been asking him about hdtv's and the sorts, i find the look you were describing, more like the kinda guys that work in currys or comets

    take a look at the futureheads, they look like they made their money by working in dixons before the place shut up shop

    It's heated up by the boiler in your house, not turned on or off by the water company.

    I was the only girl (when I was supervisor of my girly team at Debenhams) who would go alone to the warehouse to collect stock. The consultants had managed to convince the girls it was haunted and they wouldn't go alone.. :yeees:

    Plating up breakfasts in servery one day, I had the following exchange with a co-worker.

    She asks, 'I never understood why you put an egg on a meat-free breakfast.'
    '..You what?'
    'Why is there an egg on a meat-free breakfast?'
    'Well, cos eggs aren't meat, are they.'
    'Well yeah, I know that, but don't they come from cows or something?'

    Poor lass, never lived it down.

    When my father in law first moved to the UK - on his first day at work they sent him to buy elbow greese - he went along to the shop and everything.

    I was in town with my girlfriend about 2 weeks ago, at the ATM machine whilst she was getting some money out. The lady at the next ATM asks us whether she's doing something wrong - at this point we get a bit nervous cos you never know when your money is gonna get nicked at the cash point :p but we assist. She's got no computer literacy whatsoever and doesnt know how to do it, so we push the buttons for her cos she wants to take £10 out. Then it says unavailable funds, which she doesnt understand, and she says "well it was working the other day! i dont get it..." I didnt want to embarress her completely and say she didnt have enough money (i did say it said it didnt have money, but she seemed to think i meant the atm machine was empty) so I told her that her best bet would be to go and talk to someone in the bank.

    Cue me and my girlfriend walking very very quickly in an opposite direction! We get Cs in our exams and think we're a bit dim and then people show us how intelligent we actually are :D lol
