without going into heavy detail.....I just want to vent....

I swear it should be ILLEGAL for people to be SO STUPID!


thanks....just had to get that out! wheew!

Glad you got that out of your system! LOLL

Beth in KY

or at least there should be some kind of support group!!! LOL!

Dear Friend,
My roommate says all stupid people are "job security" 911 dispatcher.
You can not ,I repeat CANNOT help them ,there are beyond all control, and I agree,If we could only LOCK THEM UP, the world would be a safer place.
So transport yourself here to CC and we will help you overcome your STUPID PEOPLE problem, someone always has someone dummer than ours, LOL

Good Luck and keep venting,
Anne

What about people who ocassionally suffer from stupidity moments (aka senior moments, blonde moments, etc)?

stupid MOMENTS I think are a good thing we can't be perfect all the time

no moments dont count....its the repeated stupidity that gets me......the one person does it and even as stupid as they were another goes and does the same exact thing.....

My husband is laughing at me and my stupid people kick....he says I should lock myself inside (and stay away fromt he internet) like Howard Hughes

I can totally understand your frustration with stupidity - I've had it myself for a long time. My husband can attest to that. That's the reason I kick myself so hard when I have my "moments". I keep thinking about the absolutely stupid question I asked on the board a few weeks ago (regarding "ream"ing together some ingredients) - I still can't believe how long it took me to realize that was a typo in the recipe I was reading and that I actually posted the question on the forum!!

But I have worked with people who should not have been allowed to leave their houses because of the level of stupidity they had reached. Not easy to keep from jumping ugly with them - especially since it's a constant thing and not once in a while.

Oh Twinsy girl..i know what you are saying. Just today I was looking through a website and saw the stupidest thing i've ever seen!! It amazes me how some people can get up in the morning and tie their shoes!!!!!!

well here's my 2 cents....stupid is a temporary shortsightedness that makes us do the occasional "doh!"
stoopid is incurable by any means and no matter how hard you try stoopid just don't get it.
Now dumb is a hard one to figger out. Dumb is..... ignorance of a better way of doing things. When you educate a "dumb" person they are no longer "dumb" but when trying to educate a STOOPID person, all hope is lost and it's kinda like mud wrestling with pigs.........you both get dirty and the pig likes it.

ge978 that's why so many people wear slip on shoes. I worked at a bank in customer service and the level of stupidity amazed me. I was amazed at the number of people who don't keep a check register and couldn't figure out how they could be overdrawn.........duh

As Ron White says...."You Can't Fix Stupid"

I have a story for ya'll, and I know it isn't story time, but this will make you laugh.

My husband is a police officer and used to work in the county jail before he went to police academy. Whenever the inmates receive mail, the officers are required to open it and read it to make sure they are not receiving any contraband or working on conspiracies against the officers. Well my husband opened a letter to an inmate from his girlfriend, and it went like this...

"I miss you so much darlin. Last night I sprayed your pillow so I could sniff your COLON as I falled asleep."

That ought to make you feel better!

Hey, those are my people you are talking about.




Just kidding. But, you can always find stupid people in the grocery store. That's their meeting place.

especially on a sunday nite at walmart sheesh

I would say something, but I better not.

clever_cakes311, You have me cracking up here with the colon sniffer story!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if it helped twinsline7 or not, But I'm still LMAO!!!!! Thanks, I needed that!

Twinsy,
What is your definition of stupid?

chaptlps, I just have to say how much I enjoyed reading your distinctions and definitions. Sort of puts a new spin on things.

I keep this on my 'fridge to remind me...

I'm sure there are very many levels of stupidity......even the ones who think they are so smart have someone rolling their eyes at them behind their back, and so on and so on.... It's all a matter of relativity....

To the original poster....
what annoyed you so much?...This thread feels "empty" without knowing the details..

why ty sugar plum
adven I was afraid to ask actually.....glad you gots the ghoostspa to ask (sp) my yiddish sux.

Yes, please tell us what upset you so much.

Theresa

I don't know when I have enjoyed a thread so much!

kre8iv_gal,

Where can I get one of those?

Digress --

I can't pass judgement -- since nearing age 50, my son has threatened to put me on the Dee-DeeDee bus (Mind of Mencia) a few times.

Theresa

Yes please do share!

Tmriga, I am over laughing my butt off at your last post. When my husband came home from his last underway a month ago he said I needed to see that Mind of Mencia "No Strings Attached" DVD! That Dee DeeDee was the first time I had heard that. Now my hubby and I say that to each other every time we do something stupid!


Amy

I love that show! He shows no mercy! AND, he gets paid for it!

Theresa

Am enjoying this thread greatly, chortling to myself

My friend ends all his emails with this quote:

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

I believe there should be a test for the 'way too stoopid' gene before some people are allowed to use the telephone.

or drive, or go to the grocery store, or......
