They Walk Among Us.

Here are a few examples of documented stupidity which I've recently indulged in. Please enjoy my findings. I've recently decided, along with the agreement of Chad, that people are generally getting dumber and dumber. We're both all for the advancement of the technology, but so many things can be done for us that we never actually learn how to do so many simple tasks for ourselves.

I've got several friends who are brilliant in many ways but straight-up brain dead in others. For instance, one of those friends has absolutely no idea how the airport actually works -- meaning all of the processes in which you partake when going there for travel purpose (not just picking someone up) such as checking in, security check, finding your gate, boarding, that annoying waiting time between every step, and then picking up your luggage thereafter arriving at your destination.

Its very apparent that the category of people in this world who are actually smart is slowly decreasing with each birth of each child. It boggles my mind that there are a plethora of virtually limitless FREE resources at the fingertips of nearly every human being living on this planet yet are never EVER taken advantage of.

Anyway, on to the documented stupidity:

• So I was calling to order a pizza ,with the menu in
  hand, i order a large pizza with ground beef, bacon,
  and extra cheese and the girl on the phone says "oh
  I'm sorry we don't have any ground beef" so i say "but
  here on the menu it says you have hamburger" and she
  responds "Oh well we have hamburger!" So i said ok
  I'll take the hamburger instead of the ground beef
  then. She says no problem!
• Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get
  rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and
  hung a sign on it saying: "Free to good home. You want
  it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there
  without even one person looking twice at it. He
  eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of
  this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he
  changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale $50." The
  next day someone stole it.
• While looking at a house, my brother asked the real
  estate agent which direction was north because, he
  explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every
  morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?"
  When my brother explained that the sun rises in the
  east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and
  said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."
• I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call
  center. One day I got a call from an individual who
  asked what hours the call center was open. I told him,
  "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day,
  7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or
  Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I
  said, "Uh, Pacific".
• My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our
  cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative
  assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her
  weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a
  convertible, but "didn't think she'd get sunburned
  because the car was moving".
• My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's
  designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets
  trapped. She keeps it in the trunk.
• My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that
  the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big
  party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2
  times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.
• I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman
  with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain.
  My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time
  she turned her head?" I explained that a person's nose
  and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which
  way the head is turned.
• I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage
  area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told
  the woman there that my bags never showed up. She
  smiled and told me not to worry because she was a
  trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now,"
  she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"
• While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man
  ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone
  and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4
  pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before
  responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think
  I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces".

Yup, they walk among us. Talk about embarrassing.
