Challenged People (CP) Sightings
CP Sighting
#1
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: Many deer were being hit by cars and he no longer wanted them to cross there.

My daughter went to a local Taco Bell and ordered a taco. She asked the individual behind
the counter for "minimal lettuce." He said he was sorry, but they only had
iceberg.
CP Sighting #3
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
that signature to the one I signed on the receipt. As luck would have it, they matched.

I was at the airport, checking in at the gate, when the airport employee asked, "Has
anyone put anything in your baggage without your knowledge?" I said, "If it was
without my knowledge, how would I know?" He smiled and nodded knowingly, "That's
why we ask."

The stoplight on the corner buzzes when it is safe to cross the street. I was crossing
with an intellectually challenged co-worker of mine, when she asked if I knew what the
buzzer was for. I explained that it signals to blind people when the light is red. She
responded, appalled, "What on earth are blind people doing driving?"
CP Sighting #6
I worked with an Individual who plugged her power strip back into itself and for the life
of her could not understand why her system would not turn on.
CP Sighting #7
When my husband and I arrived at an automobile dealership to pick up our car, we were told
that the keys had been accidentally locked in it. We went to the service department and
found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver's side door. As I watched from
the passenger side, I discovered it was open. "Hey," I announced to the
technician, "It's open!" "I know," answered the young man.- "I
already got that side."
