Dumb things people do...

[TheFaithfulStone]

Get this...

 

A young lady is 21, pregnant with her second child, and is due any day now. She is having 2+ hours apart contractions and asks her mother in law if she should go to the hospital just in case. The mother in law says "no, no. how 'bout I take (your child) and you go to town and walk around Walmart just in case it happens.

 

Yeah, real great idea.

I'm having trouble seperating out all the dumb in that story. It's like every sentence is a head-knocker in and of itself.

this is less dumb than the fault of urbanization. . .

 

never knowing what it feels like to spend a day without shoes.

i mean, come on, they're DESIGNED for that!(although they aren't "designed" at all.

just as an experiment in the durability of my organic structure, im about to go skateboarding barefoot.

 

this should be very weird (and probably painful)

 

and yes, i undertand that to some this in itself may seem stupid, but if you think it is, then you shouldn't be on the science forums.

[BluesMan]

Follow rules that have no purpose......

 

Have great ideas and no motivation to actually implement them. Some of the best projects I've been involved with came from someone else having a great idea, and that's it. They don't do anything. Someone else had to actually implement the idea while the other person thought of a solution and had no ability to apply the same.

 

Lack of the ability to differentiate between that which brings them happiness and what brings them pleasure.

Dumb things people do?

Forget to relax and go with the flow with as open a mind as possible.

I called my boss on his cell phone. He was in a meeting, but answered in a low voice. For fear of interrupting his meeting I wispered into my end of the phone.:lol:

What a Cool Thread! :hihi:

 

Spend 6 minutes driving around a parking lot looking for the closest spot, only to save 10 seconds of walking

 

Paying off a credit card with another credit card.

 

Calling in quickly within the first 10 minutes of an info-mercial to get a free extra *whatever*

 

Zig-zag hurriedly and recklessly in traffic only to stop at the same red light as everyone else!;)

 

I see this one a lot unfortunately: Going to see an (ex-)girlfriend after you've already done a stint for violating the restraining order 'cuz she thinks she's having a change of heart! :doh:

 

Smoking a fat bowl of chronic before a big math test :cry:

 

Chewing Tobacco - sorry, its just dumb AND nasty

 

Asking a question, and then not pay attention to the answer someone gives; "Huh?"

 

Watch TrinityBroadcastNetwork and buying into what the Televangilists are saying

 

Actually sending money to TBN :doh:

[Racoon]

Getting a PayDay advance loan

 

Getting a Car Title loan

 

and staying up entirely too late and long to post about the dumb things people do. (of which I am guilty:shrug: :shrug: )

[Tormod]

Buy a huge Big Burger and a diet soda.

[niviene]

oh wow, how many of these could I list... got more server space? :cocktail:

 

Let's see... fly by me in my well-lit and marked cruiser at nearly twice the legal speed limit and then tell me you weren't speeding...

..wonder why I pulled you over when you were on the other side of the double yellow one minute and then up on the passenger side curb the next, with a 30 mph variation in speed? (what do you mean officer? *hic*)

...get upset with your $250 handicap parking ticket and argue with me that you shouldn't get one because you normally park there every day...

...get out of the car and argue with the cop who only pulled you over for speeding when you have drugs in your pockets....

...call me to take a report on a theft for the missing two-dollar bag of chocolate easter candy (YES, this happened just last week!)

...get upset for being made to take a sobriety test because you were going the wrong way on a one way street in a car with NO DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE!, broken off mirrors, extensive damage to every possible area of the car except the roof, who then actually hit the officer (moi - not my cruiser, my body - assault, anyone?) with said car...(this one I am going to court for in a couple days...)

...argue with me that you got a warning! I give more warnings than anyone else I work with...if you had been pulled over by anyone else, you'd be paying at least a hundred dollars for this... sheesh...

...oh, how about scream and yell at nurses and doctors in the ER? Who do you think is going to take care of you?

 

Oh, I could go on and on. I see the best stuff. :cocktail:

[Buffy]

Oh, I could go on and on. I see the best stuff. :phones:

And the snobs wonder why "Cops" and "World's stupidest drivers" get such good ratings... This stuff is hilarious! :phones:

 

Ya gonna miss this when you get to the DA's office, Niv?

 

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you, :phones:

I love those shows!!!! (keep hoping I'll see my kinfolk!!!hehe..) R-yeew-mu-da-ddy? he!he!

[Loricybin]

constantly state the extremely obvious.

 

ask what is about to happen in a movie, fifteen second before it happens.

[Queso]

Buy a huge Big Burger and a diet soda.

 

hahaha I never thought about how ridiculous that really is.

 

Here's a dumb one,

Pay taxes.

 

Yup,

Pay to be alive,

here,

folks.

 

Oh, another dumb thing people do is

LISTEN TO THEIR AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

because everything they say is total crap,

and a lie.

[ingannilo]

hahaha I never thought about how ridiculous that really is.

 

Here's a dumb one,

Pay taxes.

 

I disagree.

 

dumb things on my list would be:

contradicting internal desires

attempting to hinder natural consequence

struggling against anything, as it all equates to struggling against self.

and buying into organized religion.

 

Oh yeah & giving up. On anything.

[Racoon]

hahaha I never thought about how ridiculous that really is.

 

not really.

 

the extra 350 - 600 calories from a large sugar sweetened soda will only Compound the breakdown and caloric storage of a greasy, meaty, burger..

 

It all adds up! +++++

 

but you already knew I was gonna' say that. :singer:

 

artificial sweeteners is another demon into and of itself...

[ingannilo]

I've got another serious one.

 

NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER.

 

that one's a biggie.

[Boerseun]

ask what is about to happen in a movie, fifteen second before it happens.

...and, after some Big Event happened on screen, like a huge explosion or some sort of ground-breaking new special effect, saying "Did you see that?"

Come on. "No, MF, I've been staring at the guy in front of me's head."
