Lightbulb The Stupidity Reoprt

Similar to Death2000s' Rock/Paper/Scizzor post - I'ld like to start one for you guys to report stupidty you encounter - Bonehead drivers, etc.. Post pics, stories, whatever... It doesn't even have to be driver related!

I see this crap daily and it makes me wonder how some of these people get through life? It actually gets funnier the more you notice. At first it irritates you, but the more you see - it makes you wonder if these people fell off some other planet. Today was a perfect example -

While waiting outside a Walgreens for one of our guys getting some "meds" we watched this woman attempt to back out of parking space. I bet she couldn't barely see over the steering wheel. As she backed out she side-swiped the car next to her with front bumper, then she pulled forward only to do it again. Then when she did finally get out of her space, she backed into the car behind her. Of course pulling forward she didn't clear the one next to her again, she now she hit the rear of the car she just "striped" down the side. Then proceeded to hit a light post, shopping cart, and over a curb - then ran the stop sign leaving the lot. This was witnessed by at least 20 people - it was unbelievable and she never stopped to check for damage.

Just think, we worry about little things like "door dings". It's too bad stupidity wasn't painless...

Doesn't it just amaze you how stupid (more like brain dead) they are? And it's not just a rare occurence... it's like a disease or something in the air. Some people are SO DUMB, I wish I could follow them w/ a video recorder for a day - it'ld make a great video...

I had a guy tonight tell me -"your speakers have EXTORTION" WTF???

If brains were hair, this guy didn't have enough to make a wig for a grape!

i love stupid people. One day i was walking back in from my shift at work and im walking by the doors of the Roundup Centre (most popular building). And im in full unifrom, meaning ugly green shirt, black pants, like 2 differnt name tags and a reflective traffic vest. this girl walks up to me and asks "do u work here?" And obviously i do, so i reply yes. Then she asks me weres the roundup centre. What makes it funny is im not even 30 ft from the main doors which are big and black. And directly above the doors is a 2ft tall sign the says ROUNDUP CENTER all over it. I look up and point to the sign and say" its that building". Shes like oh thanks, then askes me were the main entrancae is. just remeber im not even 30ft from the doors which are big and black. So i just say "those doors right there" and point to them and walk away. it was amazingly stupid

What is wrong with people?

Almost every time i go out on the road i have to be always on the lookout for people trying to merge into me or not checking their blind spots as i pass them.

This happens every time i go for a drive, it can be on the highway, smaller two lane roads, whatever, WTF is wrong with people?

I am at the point where whenever i go to pass someone i have my hands ready to press down on the horn, for fear that they are going to merge into me as they switch lanes without looking..

Anyone else experiencing anything similar? Maybe its just MA drivers.. but honestly its getting pretty rediculous.

I have to agree w/"Shark", it's the world IQ that's disolving or something. It's not just drivers - it's everywhere. There's a STUPIDITY epidemic or as a "bud" of mine says it's "bird brain flu". He said he was trying to straighten out a problem w/Verizon (they charged his phone extra calls he didn't make) he swore he was talking to the 3 stooges - they kept directing him to a different dept who sent him to another dept and he went around their system 3 times ending up where he started. To bad stupidity wasn't painful
