Talking about when some one says something so obtuse you just want to smack them.
This is a conversation I had with a lady friend of mine. The topic of conversation was religion. My position on the subject was (and still am) I’m an atheist:
Her: “…So where do you think we came from?”
Me: “Well, originally we came from the stars. The atoms that make us up were forged in the stars which eventually led to us.”
Her: “Awe, that’s sweet.”
But she wasn’t saying it to be condescending; she was saying it like I was making some sort of poetic proclamation.
We were talking about religion at work, and it came out that I’m an atheist.
Coworker: “I can prove you’re not an atheist.”
Me: “Oh really?”
Her: “Yeah, in fact nobody is an atheist, and I can prove it.”
Me: “Ok, prove that I’m not an atheist.”
Her: “If you’re an atheist . . . then who do you pray to?”
Me and everyone else: :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
I’m not sure if this counts as “stupid” or not, but it definitely isn’t the way to get your questions answered. I’m monitoring the library’s IM reference service now, and I just got this gem:
patron: hey sexy
patron: do you have books on practice tests for admissions
We can’t quite decide how to respond. I voted “Hey loser! Yeah, we do!”
Friend’s Wife: “Huge wreck, blah blah blah terrible injury blah blah blah big truck smashed little car blah blah blah first car on the scene was an ER Nurse! blah blah blah that just proves God was looking out for this guy!”
Me:“Why didn’t God just prevent the accident?” :smack:
