Yup its come to this! I need to share some stories of mine where I actually meet a n00b (or just generally stupid people) in real life. I post this so we can all share our stories and laugh at stupid people. Here are mine:

*Note: None of these people had an visable mental disabilities. Just legitametly stupid people.

Just last night I was at a hockey game (I own season tickets). And as usual there is a moron up in front who is always leaning foward. But what really pissed me off last night was he had no one in front of him that he needed to lean foward to see over. This blocks many people's view of the goal net.
Then about 10 mins into the game, an announcement on the jumbo-tron came up saying not to lean foward, OR get up during the action of the game.
But what really set me off, was there were 3 min left in the game, and he got up with his fat wife and other kids right in the middle of a break away. He managed to take so long in walking down the stairs that I missed the goal.

Years ago I worked at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk (a open amusment park in the Monteray bay). I was working games outside and this person comes up to me (must have been 15 years old), and asked me if that land mass across the water was Hawaii. I pointed and replied: "No thats Japan." >.> <.<

Another point I was working the massive arcade. Its part of our job to "repair" the games that break down. This 18 (?) year old walks up to me and asks if I can repair a game. Of coarse I say I can because repairing the games is a nice break from having to count everyone's tickets. He takes me to the skeeball machiene and says that its not working. My first notion is that the token got stuck again and didnt fall through to trigger the little lever in the device (as it is known to do that many times). I open the game and look in. I see no jam, in fact I see no token at all. I ask how much he put in, and he responded: "Ohh it takes money?" Of coarse I had to smile and say: "yes it takes tokens, you get them over there." He then hands me his dime. At that point I walked away.

Now its your turn, lets have a few laughs at other people's misery/

I could post reels of parchment on Stupid things people do while driving, but not now. I am curious to see what some/most of the rest of Snarkpit deems "Stupid" We all seem to have decidedly different opinions on the exact definition of the word.

Its no secret how I view most of the world so me going this close to the beginning of a new thread on the topic might not bode well.

Not driving related: I recently saw a man stick his finger over the flame of one of those new invisible flame type cigarette lighters. (God that description confused even myself)

I told him: "Yup, fire does that" when he jerked his finger away. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/rofl.gif">

new guy standing under a 5000 lb I-beam with the rest of the crew on the walls and the 50 foot boom crane trying to set it in place....looks up and says, "uh....what do ya want me to do now?" ...

i think that qualifies....

Doc B...

you opened a floodgate pal....lol ...just work related here....

dude drove a lull forklift over a fire hydrant the other day

different dude drove a forklift through the side of a house we were building

different dude stapled his shirt sleeve to the roof....and it was cold out..lol

different dude shot himself twice in the wrist with a 16 penny nail gun...bam bam...blood shot out like a gyser when i pulled the nails out of him....and they dont usually do that.. :/

we dont let the old dude with three fingers run the chop saws anymore...any questions?

different dude leaned his 32 ft ladder bottom a bit too far away from the house and the bottom kicked out; he slapped his face all the way down the side of the house....looked like a slow motion cartoon...

.......but wait, theres more.....

In class my freshman year of highschool this girl kept referring to Africa as a country, instead of a continent.

We started studying Japan, and she loudly proclaimed... Japan is an island? Wow!

My sophomore year of high school, we were watching a recent film version of "Much Ado About Nothing" in english. The two brothers that are two of the main characters(I can't remember their names) were played by Keanu reeves and Denzel Washington.

Keanu:

Denzel:

Anyone here not see the difference?!

Anyway, our teacher told us that these two played these two roles, and were supposed to be brothers, at least a half a dozen times, but lo' and behold, when the movie began, and Denzel showed up on screen, one person loudly exclaimed

He's Black!?

Last night I was driving home, there was incredibly low visibility ... like ... maybe 15 feet, because of fog. This means, on the highway, you can't see the side of the road, all you have to go on are reflectors within that 15 feet or so.

Several people were still blazing down the highway going something like 65 mph. Really stupid thing to do, since you couldn't see cars in front of you past ~30 feet. They were all lucky, they didn't smash into anyone.

Idiots.


Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Someone in my class once asked "Sir, is Chaucer refering to the Normandy beach landings?"

When black people talk about brothers, it doesn't actually mean they brothers, just m8s :P Like with dawg, and G.

Orph, hopefully you haven't spent much time driving in Madison. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

good lord, I'm content to go zipping through 5-6 lane traffic at rush hour from one end of Omaha to the other, but I fear for my life in the West Towne Mall parking lot, let alone when I get on the street. :P

Well, parkinglots and parking garages are generally the most dangerous places for cars and pedestrians. It's like people totally disregard the common rules of navigation once they get into a parking lot - You've got people cutting diagonally across parking spaces, people driving the wrong way down a 1 way parking strip, pedestrians oblivious to cars, meandering around, cars oblivious to pedestrians. And my personal favorite: Idiots who sit there and wait 2 minutes for someone to get in their car and open up a parking spot, when they could have parked 20 feet back, walked, and gotten there sooner.

If I ever made it to Madison, you can bet your ass on two things. I wouldn't leave until I met your two favorite people in the world.

If I haven't said this before, I am correcting the oversight. I went through Kansas and Nebraska on my way home this run. After taking note of the surroundings I can honestly say "Andrew, I am proud of you. You went from rural farmsville to Raven software and made a name for yourself. Good job"

My being proud of you might not mean s**t to anyone but myself, but its a concept I can live with. I am used to my feelings not amounting to much in the grand scheme. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
