Boerseun Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 So... What's the dumbest thing that people do as a matter of course, without thinking about it? Something that people take for granted, but when you stop and think about it, it's utterly stupid? Like, for instance, using a dollar note to buy a bookmark. Why not use the dollar note for a bookmark? Quote
Buffy Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 I use the receipt for the book as a bookmark. I spend the dollar on my non-fat latte. Honestly... boys! :rainbow:Buffy Quote
ughaibu Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 I use the receipt for the bookmark as the bookmark and resell the bookmark. Quote
GAHD Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 1. Spend 8 years getting a MA in Physics(or other 'bigtime degree'), then go become a Customer Service representative for Comcast(or other unrelated job). 2. Marry their highschool girlfriend/boyfriend while the hormones are still hot. 3. Take psychology in university. 4. Pay for small items (like bookmarks) with credit. 5. Call Customer Service for anything other than morbid humour. 6. Hang up on telemarketers before you tell them to take you off their calling list and put you on their "do-not-call" list. 7. Become a telemarketer. 8. Sit on the couch watching an exercise program while eating triple-bypass brand chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-whipped-lard-'icecream'. 9. Order 'low fat' foods instead of walking to work, going to the gym, or getting a physicaly demanding part time job. 10. Pay for a gym membership in order to get healthy; only athletes need personal trainers, and they have a monopoly on all the good ones allready. Racoon 1 Quote
InfiniteNow Posted January 19, 2006 Report Posted January 19, 2006 Wonder why their TV (or, insert electical item of choice) doesn't work, call customer service at the cable/satellite provider, wait on hold for 20 minutes listening to mind numbing ads and sound (won't even call it music as it's undeserving), argue ragefully :rainbow: with the representative that they're paying good money and things should work like they are supposed to, threaten to switch providers, and continue to do so until they get a technician sent to their home the next day to make sure everything gets fixed, and have the tecnician inform them... "Sorry Sir/M'aam... It wasn't plugged in." ...that, and displace their frustrations and anger on animals. :rainbow: Quote
Guest Mace Sin Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 ...that, and displace their frustrations and anger on animals. :rainbow: Speaking of that, I know a guy in school who was bragging about beating his dog with a skateboard today. :rainbow: Quote
Buffy Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Speaking of that, I know a guy in school who was bragging about beating his dog with a skateboard today. :rainbow:Well, there's dumb and then there's sociopathic. I'd say that young man has a good future as a CIA agent (for which he should start learning Arabic), or as a prison guard at Pelican Bay... Managers channel energy,Buffy, M.B.A. Quote
InfiniteNow Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 ...or as a prison guard at Pelican Bay...If he's beating his dog with a skateboard (and, further, bragging about it), I'd much rather see him in the role of a "Prison *****." :rainbow: Quote
armofreek Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 drive 90 mph only to get to their destination 1 hour later because they got pulled over and searched because their car is "suspicious" looking... got damned cunts...:rainbow: Quote
InfiniteNow Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Make a right turn from the left lane.Stop in the middle of the street to read the map when they are lost instead of pulling off somewhere.Tailgate trying to get you to go faster when there are 3 cars in front of you.Not let you in when you're trying to merge/yield/whatever. Geesh... I just realized... no wonder it has it's own term. "Road rage." :rainbow::lol::angel: :rainbow: :Guns::car::rain: Dumb things people do...? Ultimately, just be rude and inconsiderate. Quote
InfiniteNow Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 English speaker, trying to communicate with non-English speaker, slows down and substantially raises the volume of their voice. "Dude, I speak <insert non-English language of choice>. I'm not deaf and stupid." Quote
Pyrotex Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 There you are, and you've just told this really great joke involving a donkey and a parrot. Everybody laughs. Then, this guy says, "you know, I heard a joke like that last week, only it was about this donkey and a crow and..." And he proceeds to tell THE SAME JOKE !!!! Quote
Boerseun Posted January 21, 2006 Author Report Posted January 21, 2006 There you are, and you've just told this really great joke involving a donkey and a parrot. Everybody laughs. Then, this guy says, "you know, I heard a joke like that last week, only it was about this donkey and a crow and..." And he proceeds to tell THE SAME JOKE !!!! ...even worse - he spends ten minutes telling the joke, and then says:"Well, I can't remember the punchline, but boy, it was a good joke!" ...and then proceeds to laugh at this 'joke-without-a-punchline'. I wanna box people who forget punchlines but tell the jokes in any case. Quote
