Stupid things done by stupid people

In My Humble Opinion

Caught@Work made this comment on a prejudices thread:

"Stupid people. I think everyone is stupid until then prove otherwise. I am the final arbiter of whether I think someone is stupid. I am prejudiced against people in general. They are all stupid. "

I agreed wholeheartedly - people are stupid. What’s the stupidst thing that you have personally witnessed?

For me, it was a while back. I went to the Forbidden Planet in Oxford St on a Saturday afternoon. (It’s a specialist science fiction and comic book shop). I saw a queue of people waiting to get in. The shop has two swing, glass doors. One was closed, one open. People were leaving the shop by the open door and those outside were waiting to get in. I tried the closed door, it opened and I went into the shop. Now that’s not the really stupid thing - I’ve seen the inability of people to open a door many, many times. No, the really stupid thing is that nobody followed me in. The morons outside watched me open the door. They watched me go in. They watched the door close behind me. I was so gob-smacked that I stood and waited, and waited, and after about 15 seconds, the person who was currently in possesion of the one brain cell in the entire queue realised that customers were allowed to use both doors and followed me. Then, the rest of the sheep followed.

What’s really scary is that these people have the vote.:eek:

People do that everywhere in corridors with two double swinging doors. Only ever use the one, and queue to do so.

The number of times I’ve nearly killed people 'cause I’m watching traffic & traffic lights intently, I cross the road with a narrow margin between cars (looking out for me, and me only) , only to have some random fools at the side of the road blindly tramp out after me thinking that if I’m walking then it must be clear.
Sometimes they don’t even look for themselves…

Never underestimate the power of others stupidity. It will impress every time.

I’ll offer the stupidest thing I’ve ever done.

Bobby was a 6 foot 2, mean, humourless, beligerent, fond of his drink, ex-merchant marine who boxed in his youth. I chose to disagree with him once by declaring to the entire rough-assed public house which we frequented, “Bobby, you are such a fucking wanker!”

The rest is history (and I so nearly was!)
