I used to work in a food warehouse preparing orders
for delivery to various shops all over the island.
One order had the following address,
WATERFALL
NEAR CORK.
That was all that was on the address label.

I should add something that came from me.
One morning one of my dogs, Cutie Pie, was barking loudly. I looked outside and she was barking at a group of high school girls on their way to school. I yelled out "CUTIE PIE!" and they all turned around.
I am now officially the neighborhood creep.
Originally posted by Great Big SteesThat reminds me of the time I drove a co-worker home after work. When I dropped him off, he said "Do you remember how to get back?"
or how about "you can't get there from here" or "just drive down till you come to where the old gas station/taxidedermist used to be and hang a right"
I said "Refresh me"
He said "Go and make a right at the corner, around the bend until you see the gas station, go past that one block and turn left. Drive a half mile and if you pass the store you went too far. go back and make a left, another left, then a right. You get that?"
"I think so.'
"Or you can go tht way up to that stop sign, make a right, and it'll take you straight to the freeway."

It's from a thread on the Debate Forum, but it is all so outrageous, there's little or nothing to debate.

Some of those twitterists at that link remind me of an RHP poster called sasquatch672
I mean, I know, intellectually speaking, that people like that exist. Of course I do. I just can't believe they do, however much I try. My mind just rebels at the concept of their actual existence.
Just remembered another one. I was playing a trivia game with my brother, his wife, and her sister.
The game allowed you to choose between 3 difficulty levels. The sister chose the easiest. The question was: He invented the modern thermometer. There was also a clue. The name began with 'F'. (I really didn't know the answer but my educated guess would've been Fahrenheit).
She said "I remember that from school. It was Sigmund Frood."
This isn't so much about something outrageous someone said, but what I had to say to someone.
I pick up biohazardous waste from hospitals and doctors offices. After retrieving said waste, I hand them the manifest and ask them to print and sign, bottom left(which I've also highlighted as even with such simple instructions most people still can't find the spot). At one particular office last Tuesday, I instructed a lady at the receptionist desk in the usual manner. She proceeded to sign only and hand the manifest back to me. I then asked her to print her name as well. She was all deer in the headlights without a clue as to what I meant. After a few seconds of watching the gears in her head come to a grinding halt, I then proceeded to say to her,
"print, ya know not cursive".
