Do stupid people

[kellyg403]

I have a co-worker that has me constantly shaking my head in disbelief. I honesly don't know how she finds her way to to work every day.

There is one in every crowd! I have gotten to the point in my life I just say Ok and walk away!

But it does make you wonder right?

I had to look up "stupid" because as much as I hear it and say it, I never knew the EXACT meaning

Judging by the definition, they don't know they're stupid because they're stupid.

Stupid people always find someone else to blame for their shortcomings. I work in retail and can't count the number of people who will point to a display of household phones and ask "How many phones come in a three-phone set?" They will also ask me a question, interrupt me when I am trying to answer their question, and then get angry at ME because I can't tell them anything about the product they have questions about (they keep interrupting - I can't get a word in!) Then they say "You're a TERRIBLE salesperson! you can't tell me ANYTHING about the products you sell!" Aaargh!

Geez...retail will traumatize you for life on stupid people. While 99% of customers are great...that 1% will KILL you.

Customer: I have been looking for eggs all over this store. You are telling me you don't sell eggs?
Me: No ma'am we do, they are in the refrigerated section, I will show you.
Customer: Refrigerated section? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of. I am 65 years old and never purchased eggs refrigerated and don't refrigerate them at home. You guys refrigerate them to use up electricity so that you can charge us poor shoppers more.
Me: **SPEECHLESS**'=

Not Always Right

It's just every day duties she's supposed to do. It is like training her all over again EVERY day. And Mondays? Forget it. It is like starting past the beginning. Sometimes I can't answer her questions because I don't understand the danged questions!

We're all just in awe of her cluelessness. I've really never seen anything like it. We take turns trying to answer her questions because it is just that frustrating. Today was my day....I'm passing her off to someone else tomorrow.

The worst part...I have probably interacted with some of those people!

So very true. I managed a store that sold high-end designer merchandise (watches, sunglasses, and other accessories). NOTHING left our store without being looked at completely for defects, the customer would also be given the items to inspect. This prevented us from having to return items that a customer may have damaged, because we knew they left the store in pristine condition.

Had a guy come in with lenses all scratched up, saying he bought them that way, and they were unusable. Of course, we couldn't take them back, he got angry and told me he was going to stand out in front of our store and tell people not to come in and give us their business/money.

The first customer comes in:
Customer: Some guy out front told me not to come in because you don't back up your products.
Me: Yeah, he wanted to return some glasses that are all scratched up.
Customer: So, wait, he's angry at you for something he did?
Me: Yes.
Customer: So glad he's wasting precious hours of his day to fight for his right to be wrong.

know that they are stupid or are they oblivious?

They aren't smart enough to know they are stupid

Just take a page from Bill Engvall... the life would be so much easier if they were all labeled.

I love his bit, "Here's your sign!" He's pretty funny.

My aunt lived next to a lady that was very sweet but d u m b.

For example, she told my aunt she hadn't brushed her teeth in YEARS because the cold water hurt her teeth.

When my aunt asked why she didn't use warm water the lady said "Oh, I never thought of that."

Hopefully that little tip got her brushing again.

 

[FergieTCat]

know that they are stupid or are they oblivious?

No and yes.

If they had any sense, they'd check Snopes before they forward those idiotic e-mails.

Most know they are blond....


KIDDING

 

[CaliforniaDreamin]

No and yes.

AMEN!!!!
Esp when they post info on Facebook, and you have to look it up on Snopes for them because you doubt it's true. Then you get to link them to Snopes.

There was a link or something on Facebook recently that I had a feeling might not be true.

It was : Chuck Norris was born May 6th 1945. The Nazis surrendered May 7 1945. Coincidence? I think not.


So I hopped on over to IMDB and it takes me about 30 seconds to find out Chuck Norris birthday is March 10, 1940. I posted the link and didn't get any comment back.

 

[princessnoelly]

They don't know it but then they mate with really stupid people and we have the next generation of stupid!

PP, the Chuck Norris thing is so funny! That's like Obama not being a us citizen....UGH! Everything you read on the internet is not true or microsoft would have paid me years ago!

 

[tlbwriter]

Based on several posts on the Dis today... not only do stupid people not realize they're stupid, but they actually think they're very smart.

 

[Carly_Roach]

Stupid people are oblivious, which is probably a good thing because it allows them to get through life. Only intelligent people are truly aware of how much they really don't know.

I work with someone who thinks that if you can't see it, feel it, touch it, taste it or smell it, it doesn't exist. I don't have the heart to inform him about radiation.

Nice snark on an early Tuesday morning.

I thought it was a rhetorical question. I was saying "you tell me" as in what do you think.

 

[dizzkneeland9]

I think the majority are completely oblivious to it, but it depends on what you mean by stupid. You can be unaware of things (politics, other cultures) and not necessarily be stupid, as long as you're willing to learn.

I think that is the difference between ignorant and stupid, isn't it? (just asking)
