Here are this year’s winners:

IDIOT SIGHTING #1
My daughter and I went through the McDonald’s take-out window and I gave the clerk a £5 note. Our total was £4.20, so I also handed her a 20 pence piece. She said, ‘You gave me too much money.’
I said, ‘Yes I know, but this way you can just give me £1 back.’
She sighed and went to get the Manager who asked me to repeat my request.
I did so, and he handed me back the 20 pence and said ‘We’re sorry but we do not do that kind of thing.’
The clerk then proceeded to give me back 80 pence in change..
Do not confuse the clerks at MacDonald’s.
