Stupid People

[ZenGum]

It's extra funny that we started talking about it in the [ significant pause ] stupid people thread.

Normally I don't like even reading stupid flame wars. But normally they are about serious issues: abortion, middle east, etc. I'm actually finding it entertaining (in a contemptuous way) to watch people go all out crazy hammer-and-tongs over football tipping. It's hard to think of something that matters less.

I assumed that was deliberate.







Can we add people who insist on spelling out jokes to the list?

[ZenGum]

No! :p
:p!

Well, deliberate or not, I still though it was funny. My post was a non-copying reply to yours saying what was extra funny.

And once more for good measure :p !

[ mutter] call me stupid in my own damn thread, mutter mutter mutter [ /mutter]

What's even funnier is that they will never notice us talking about them here.

Ha Ha!




(WHIP, I don't mean you of course)

only if you really mean ' nigger' when you say Canadian.

I heard from a demo lady at our local grocery store that the local homeless people pool their money to buy a costco membership and then go frequent the sample booths

ingenious

I added W.HI.P (or however it's punctuated) to my List of Stupid People when he was insisting there was a conspiracy to prevent the two Sheffield teams EVER playing in the same league, and calling those who disagreed ignorant of their own country and the game they loved. They are both in same league this season. Meh, I am glad there's a silly flamefest over there.

Overheard on Bonfire Night - two women in the queue for the Ladies talking about potential men for one of the women. She was asking to be set up and stating her requirements. I wish I'd had a dictaphone, it was every shallow female personified, justifying herself with how hard she worked at the gym, how much care she took of herself and how expensive it was to live in London, "I mean I spent £200 just today!"

Sigh. I'm up with the sisters and all, but this woman got on my wick. May she get the shallow mate she deserves.

When I was back with HM & his bro I commented on it and laughed, "Well in ten years she'll be traded in for a newer model anyway!" Then we all realised we haven't managed the ten year mark ourselves. Stupid people.

I'd like to add two automotive stupid people. The clown speeding in the fog with the gray car with lights off and the human metaphor who was in the passing lane of a posted 65mph highway (as of about 2 years ago) self-righteously doing 55 with with a Bush / Cheney sticker in the window. Take in new information much?

Ghahhahah! I saw a car the other day that had a Bush/Cheney sticker on one side and a 'I do what the voices in my head tell me' sticker on the other. I laughed so hard I almost slammed into them.

This guys isn't just stupid, he's dangerous. As a school bus driver, I've seen many kids come very close to getting plowed over by these people. The scariest part is, if you were in the passenger seat and said "Shouldn't turn on your lights?" this asshole would undoubtedly say "I can see just fine."

Adding her to your stupid people list might make you feel better, Sundae.

The only time I spend that kind of money in a day is if I'm paying bills or taking care of something big like a car repair or at the grocery. (IF I haven't been in a LONG time. LOL)

[ZenGum]

Damn, I was just about to do this!

No wonder Zen, the sticker does make it look kind of fun.
It looks more like wheeee!!!! Than Aaaaaah!!
Maybe the sticker means: don't look like you are having so much fun when you do this?

Today my new stupids are people with "baby on board" stickers on their cars who drive recklessly.

I'm not over-fond of "baby on board" - like a reckless driver gives a toot. But women (exclusively in my experience) who are so consumed by the mundane school run that they endanger their children, themselves, pedestrians and other road users just beggar belief.

This morning a woman stuck in traffic on the opposite side of the road saw a chance as an HGV powered up to pull forward in traffic. No signal, no reasonable assumption she would be pulling over, just screeech into the school entrance. And she blasted her horn at me - ME! the most traffic aware pedestrian in the WORLD since I was hit! - because I was crossing the entrance at the time.

I wanted to go and knock on her wondow and have a word. I settled for raised eyebrows and walking at my previous pace rather than scuttling like a frightened rabbit. I had right of way, which I doubt she knew - I was crossing BEFORE she signalled (which she never did). She's lucky I'm not still there :p
