A guy walked into a little corner store with a shotgun and demanded all of the cash from the cash drawer. After the cashier put the cash in a bag, the robber saw a bottle of Scotch that he wanted behind the counter on the shelf. He told the cashier to put it in the bag as well, but the cashier refused and said, "Because I don't believe you are over 21."
The robber said he was, but the clerk still refused to give it to him because she didn't believe him. At this point, the robber took his driver's license out of his wallet and gave it to the clerk.
The clerk looked it over and agreed that the man was in fact over 21 and she put the Scotch in the bag. The robber then ran from the store with his loot.The cashier promptly called the police and gave the name and address of the robber that he got off the license. They arrested the robber two hours later.
This guy definitely needs a sign.
Idiot Number Six: A pair of Michigan robbers entered a record shop nervously waving revolvers. The first one shouted, " Nobody move!" When his partner moved, the startled first bandit shot him. This guy doesn't even deserve a sign.
Idiot Number Seven : Arkansas: Seems this guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back knocking him unconscious.
It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape. Yep, here's your sign.
Idiot Number Eight : 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: "Too many deer are being hit by cars out here! I don't think this is a good place for them to be crossing anymore." Take the sign - Please!
#4: I think this guy is lucky if they didnt add any new fees for his stunt.
#8: Im going to give him credit for a very dry sense of humor.
Very funny
We actually had a case very similar to the #3 idiot which happened in our community a decade or so ago. Of course, it involved very different banks as neither Wells Fargo nor Bank of America haunts us (yet).
We had an incident similar to one of your up in Fulton NY many years ago.
Some guy wanted to rob the TOPS supermarket. He got in line and waited his turn and bought a pack of gum to get the cashier to open the drawer. All he had on him was a dollar and the gum cost more than that but with the Shoppers Club card, it would be cheaper.
So he gave her his card, she rang it up, and he robs the store, all caught on video camera in addition.
So the store gets his shoppers club card info and gives it to the police who are waiting for him when he gets home.
My kids and I just roared over that one.
The idiots around here are a special breed - the dumbest thing I ever heard a redneck say (being serious) was, “You cain’t fix it, if’n it ain’t broked.”
I remember when this happened...............
Thank you! I needed a good laugh today.
The area we moved to had a different cable company, we explained this to them while we were requesting that service be discontinued.
They continued to call us for months afterward asking "what can we do to win back your business?"
Expand your territory!
Here's your sign.
Old wooody allen movie “ take the money and run” has inept bank robber scene similar to idiot number 3. See it on you tube.
I had a son who did this. His older sister had done something particularly bad, and I made her toilet-train him as a consequence. She got the Eyewitness Insects book at the library, told him insects were a Crunchy Snack, and taught him to identify them.
He would spot something crawly, examine it, and ask himself (he talked to himself in the third person - we called him "James and his other brother James"), "James! Is that a crunchy insect under the table?" "I don't know, James, how many legs does it have?" "One, two ... eight!" "Oh, it is not a crunchy insect, James. Insects have six legs."
"I've got a gub."
A burglar broke in to a business and when he saw himself being recorded on a tv monitor, stole the monitor.
It seems the liquor store window was made of Plexi-Glass. The whole event was caught on videotape. Yep, here's your sign.
Related incident.
Guy robbed a bank in Cleburne TX 15-20 years ago. He got caught because while he was busy robbing the bank, the meter maid was ticketing his car because he hadn’t put a penny or whatever it cost in the parking meter.
Story made it on Paul Harvey.
