If ignorance is bliss, you probably skip to work.....

This is my declaration that stupid people should not breed.
Sometimes, I even think that we should put them out of their misery.

Dealing with people all day, I get the most bizzare requests, and the wierdest questions. Today, I listened to this woman complain for about twenty minutes straight about an experince she had in one of my companies branches. She complained about the service, the rudeness of the people, how long they made her wait. Come to find out at the end of the conversation, it wasn't even on of my companies branches. I kind of laughed it off and said man is she dim. I would have given it another thought but the very next person I with did know how to add to fifty cent charges to her account. She had the nerve to ask me if I had a calculater to figure out what those charges totaled. No lie. Towards the end of my great day, I talked to someone who said out 800 number isn't working. Well, come to find out, he wasn't dialing a 1 in front of the 800.
Now, was I being totatlly impatient and those people were just having brain farts but were they really really dumb. Hmmm...
Thanks for letting me vent.

Has anyone else had a similar experience or a run in with King or Queen dumb before?

Yes.

When I was in the military, I was in munitions, conventional missiles. One of the pilots actually sent a missile back with a defect tag attached that read...weapon does not operate in the O.F.F. position.

We got another one ( a TV guided missile) back with...pitcher not clear.

there is nothing but stupidity where i work... fortunately.. i am allowed to point this out to the inmates and let them know how dumb they actually are *laughs* i usually do it in a tactful way though.. one of my best quips is "I'm not as stupid as I thought you were" it always makes them do a double take...

something i said to an inmate recently (he never takes me serious lol) was 'i outta kick your ass but i don't wanna make your nose bleed' it took him a couple of seconds but he did get it.. he told me that was a low blow... i said 'exactly' haha he said he's have to remember that and use it sometime soon... a couple of days later he was standing close to me when someone said something smart to him so he said 'i would kick your ass but i don't wanna make your nose bleed' and looked at me triumphantly... unfortunately.. the guy at which the remark was directly had no earthly clue what he was talking about.. even after he gave a lengthy explanation... LOL

LOL April.......RRRRRROOOOAAAAARRRRRRRRRR

Stupidity is something I encounter every single day. Customers are the spawn of the devil. They only have stupid questions, and is usually one ounce of water short of mud for brains.
They can't comprehend simple sentences, and resembles Homer Simpson more than I care for. Women too.

Conclusion: INDIVIDUALS are smart, PEOPLE are per definaition stupid.

I constantly get people looking down their noses at me, thinking i,m one sandwich short of a picnic.

They,re usually technical advisers or sales reps. Specialists in one particular field. Constantly amazed that the rest of us have,nt paid out for their latest wonder gadgets.
But could they do my job? Could they handle the range of skills i have? I may not be an expert at any one thing, but i have the basics in a lot of skills. A jack of all trades.

So how do i retaliate, i act dumber. Watching their face redden, their palms sweat. On a good day, i can even get the veins to stand out on their temples.

There are times when it pays to appear less bright thean you actually are.
(and lots more fun.)

Oh man, I could tell some stories here, but I'm going to keep myself out of trouble and zip my lip. And snicker to myself.

 

[CreamyLady]

I often suffer from the galloping dumbs. Someone must be putting stupid pills in with the Advil.

 

[Merelan]

Kitten Eyes, that frightens me, alot.

 

[Silverlily]

No joke! I am willing to bet a paycheck the genius with the pitcher problem still thought he was at the Officer's Club.

 

[Merelan]

I know, I agree with you there. Intelligence is not a requirement for making it as an officer.

The funniest story about this that I've heard recently is supposedly true. A technical support person for a software received a call from a woman who claimed that she was having a problem using the company's software (I think it was WordPerfect). Anyway, after talking with woman for awhile, he finally discovers that the reason she's having trouble with the software is because the pc isn't on. And the reason the pc isn't on is because there's been a power outage in the building and there's no electricity.

So, the technical support person calmly told the woman to pack up the computer and send it back to the manufacturer. When she asked him why, he replied that she was "too fucking stupid to use a computer".

As the story was told to me, the technical support person was fired for providing "poor customer support".

Personally, I think they should have given the poor guy a medal.

hey I work construction... in the port-a-potty, written in magic marker... someone was calling someone else "stuipid"
The recipient of the taunt was only too glad to point out how "stupid" the author was
