People Are Stupid

Ok, I know I should be more tolerant of other people, but really, they just give me so much darn amunition.

The subject of todays blog is stupidity! and how rampant it is pretty much everywhere. Example #1. The Oblivious Idiot.

I work in a call center with the phone company. Today, a man who seemed to be very smart (lets remember that first impressions can be decieving) was calling about why his bill was so high. It turns out he was being billed for dial up internet that has been on his bill for NINE YEARS!!!! and the idiot wanted nine years worth of credit. I told him it wasn't gonna happen. How much of an idiot do you have to be to not notice something that has been on your phone bill for the last 9 years? in my opinion, if it takes you that long to notice something, then you are stupid and don't deserve a credit for a day let alone 9 years. Honestly, how does this dude run a business??

Example #2: The Cake

All of the elevators in our office building are kinda crazy. It seems that they only stay open to let people on for a very short time. I had just gotten on the elevator with some other dude and all of a sudden we hear a very frantic "WAIT!!!" and a lady carrying a lovely cake that said "Happy Birthday" materialized in front of us but just as the elevator doors were starting to close. Now, logically and according to common sense (or uncommon sense as I sometimes call it because it really is remarkable how many of us have none) you would think that if you were going to shove something in the doors to hold them open to stop them from closing you would use some sort of a bag or briefcase or an arm or leg or something like that. But, no, this idiot shoves her cake box in between 2 steel doors and gets upset when they smushed her cake. I am no expert but really, she should have seen that coming. I do feel kinda bad for laughing so hysterically though was that wrong?. But really, how does this lady manage to dress herself in the morning?

Maybe I just need more patience.
