Now I know why people coccoon. I have just returned from shopping and encountered three more dumb fucks whose numbers seem to be increasing.
DF #1- Produce store. Woman buys her stuff, unpacks cart, watches clerk check each item, bag it and ring it up. When the grand total is announced she THEN proceeds to start looking for money. Opens her purse, looks and declares "I can't seem to find my money." Proceeds to search every nook and cranny of the purse, which is the size of Shaquille O'Neal's nut sack, so this takes awhile. Clerk doesn't help by telling her to take her time. After the purse search produces no money does she give up? Never. Now she starts a personal pat down through every pocket of her clothing. Finally, she declares,"Well, I'll just use my credit card." WTF, lady? I could have married and raised a family in this time.
DF #2 - Coffee shop. Guy ahead of me orders a coffee. Waits, waits - coffee arrives and he pays. Gets change then says he wants to buy a donut. Girl gets the donut - he now pays again, gets change again and THEN announces he'd like to have a sandwich,too. C'mon, Rumpled Dickskin, a simple order has now become three separate transactions.
DF #3 - Left turn lane. Two separate drivers leave 10 feet between them and the car ahead. Lane fills up quicker, spills back into thru lane and fills that up. Cars can't go thru or around until the light changes.

Is it just me, or are people becoming stoopidder?

You'll always find them no matter what

CT,
It's not you...

wherever you go, there will always be Dummies. A fact of life we have to live and put up with.

I may have to put up with a helluva lot more Dumb Shits as I live in the States (more people, more DingBats). :mad:

The other day I was in Save-On-Foods and the bitch in front of me waited until the clerk had rung every item in before announing she had forgotten an item and went to get it. In the meantime the cashier and I had to stand there twiddling our thumbs waiting for the cow to get back so my order could be rung through. If you forget an item, too fucking bad, pay for what you have and go back to the end of the line.

There must have been a course teaching this one. It happens to me more times than I care to mention. These are the same morons that drive slow in the fast lane... :mad:

Used to work with 1 a few years ago.

I was the opening shift 5:30am & she didn't start till noon. Noon rolls around on a busy friday & she phones to say she JUST WOKE UP. I figured she'd through some clothes on, jump in a taxi & come in ASAP!. Even it it costs her $30 too dam bad for not setting the alarm right?. No, 1.5hrs later she comes in & doesn't even appologize. When I say WTF she says, well I had to take the bus. She did this 3 Fridays in a row with me & couldn't comprehend why I didn't want to speak to her after that. The owner didn't even sack her cause it was too much effort to hire someone else. Happiest day of my life when she finally quit :D .

My biggest pet peeve in life: Dealing with people who have no common sense.

Most people that do this stupid shit seem to be off in their own world and not even realizing that their pissing most others off. But say anything and all you get is a dirty look or some lame comment, so what can ya do.

And if ya do say anything somehow I'm always the one that seems to feel i'm in the wrong.

?
actually that's an interesting question....are people getting more stupid? The average I.Q. is just under 100, which seems to suggest that most people are stupid to begin with. Is there some basic level of intelligence which, when exceeded by the majority of the population on the downside, results in an overall decline in 'cultural integrity?' I think so. Nobody can read anymore. Or count.

A friend of mine says "think about how stupid the average person is. And then think about the fact that if that's 'average', that means half the people are even MORE stupid". It's so scary it doesn't actually bear thinking about. :eek:

Not to question where you lie on this spectrum but what you described is not the average, rather it's the median

"The median is the value so that roughly half of the data are smaller and roughly half of the data are larger. There are two formulas for the computation of the median, depending on whether the size of your sample is even or odd. In both cases, sort the data. If n (the number of observations in your sample) is odd, select (n+1)/2 observation. If n is even, select halfway between the n/2 and n/2+1 observation."

http://www.cmh.edu/stats/definitions/median.htm

You must admit given the topic it is an ironic turn of events. :D

Maybe not so ironic. Could just be the evolution of accepted language. I was taught that when analyzing a data set that the

mean(the commonly accepted meaning of average these days),
median(basically middle point in the values),
or mode(most popular value)

are all acceptable averages.

Lack of understanding of modern statistical jargon does not imply stupidity.

Statistically, the absolute I.Q has been increasing. I mean, the mean is still 100 but the person with 100 knows more than a person with a 100 knew 20 years ago. But that's the I.Q as measured by I..Q. tests. If they tested real life skills, like remembering all your stuff in a grocery store, I'm sure you'd get a different story. I think our brains are getting filled with more more useless information every year, and the useful stuff gets crowded out.

This happens to me all the time, except that it always involves some douchebag and his/her Interac card getting swiped multiple times because of a forgotten PIN or something stupid. And all that for a $2 purchase too.

Being that no one is willling to step up and call it for what it is, why don't you quit while you're ahead?

No it's not you, yes they are. Especially in traffic. Here I am heading to a meeting today with plenty of time to spare and at the first red light, the knob in front of me sits there looking for something in his car while the light turns green and the traffic is flowing by at a considerable rate. I'd say at least 10 cars pass through the intersection. So we carry on and the fucker's going about 35 in a 50 zone, in the left lane, and fumbling around but I stay in that lane because I'm turning left in a light or so and don't feel the need to be a "weaver". Get to the light and guess what? Yep, old fucknuts is turning too. Same drill...the guy's putzing around and we actually miss the left turn light. Next thing you know, he ain't moving into the intersection, he's staying right at the line, still fucking around. This time, as the light's turning yellow, I give him a honk so I can make the light because he isn't moving and I can see he isn't planning on turning. Anyway, I get into the right lane and look over, the guy's on his cel writing something on a notebook he's holding with his other hand against the steering wheel. So I shake my head like "you fucking moron" and he mouths "fuck you!". Well, the gloves are about to come off. I motion for him to roll down his window and politely say "we can talk this over if you would like to pull to the side". He punches it THROUGH A RED and karma kicks in, there's a cop ready to head through on the green! That'll be a few bucks.

I go through this every fucking day, 7 days a week, in this city. More so than any city I travel to. What is the problem with these people?

My biggest issue is with stupid people is with lottery tickets. Every time I am waiting in line at a gas station or convenience store (go figure) someone has to get the person at the register to check 20 god damn tickets to figure out that they win $1 and/or a free ticket. Then with that $1 they have to get explained the rules/advantages/disadvantages/odds etc of the plus vs sport select and the lotto 6-49 to see where this wealth will be spent. When they finally decide they then have to spill out another $2 in change to upgrade to some other stupidity tax. Christ sakes, I only want to by a bottle of pop or a slurpee.

I have driven in most cities in North America. Most have a few drivers that are really bad.

But I have never driven in any city any where that is as bad as Richmond.

I had to go the Blundell and 4 Road this week. How the hell does anybody keep their sanity and drive in Richmond?

I got behind this one guy. He is going 20 MPH (or whatever the hell that is in KM). He comes to a corner and is trying to decide what way to go. HE FUCKING STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING ROAD and start to look down each road.

He deicides to go straight. Ah shit that is the way I am going.

He starts through the intersection and the light turns red. NO SHIT this guy stops in the intersection and waits there until the light goes green then continues through the intersection. It is not his car a foot over the line. HIS WHOLE FUCKING CAR IS STOPPED IN THE FUCKING INTERSECTION and he is waiting for a green light.

How the fuck do you guys drive there every day?

BTW - SWG your welcome.
