Blithering Idiots

[phonemonkey]

I work with a company that seems to be full of blithering idiots. I deal with people who can barely pronounce basic words (words like successfully), people who get confused by the printer asking for more paper in tray 1, and a ton of people who don't know the names of the depts that they work in.

To be fair, though, I work for a helpdesk, so the adds are higher that I'm going to see the stupider people in the company more often. Still, I've managed to catalog several binders worth of just really stupid incidents (like the store that was on fire and didn't know what to do - honestly, calling the fire dept or 911 had not occurred to them).

Be careful, the idiots can ruin your life

Spend some time listening to C-Span and the callers who make fools of themselves one after another...

It's insane how many stupid people there are.

The true question here is, how many people think YOU are the blithering idiot?

Like I said, I admit it; I'm a blithering idiot sometimes too! I don't deny it!
. . . but at least I admit it :| . . ..

:thumbsup: Classic!


I worked for years in customer service. From that experience I have sincerely concluded that most of humanity is composed of incompetent, space wasters who should count their blessings that they are able to breathe on their own.

working with idiots can kill you.

Stress caused by dim-witted co-workers may give you a fatal heart attack!
By KATE McCLARE

STOCKHOLM -- Idiots in the office are just as hazardous to your health as cigarettes, caffeine or greasy food, an eye-opening new study reveals. In fact, those dopes can kill you!

Stress is one of the top causes of heart attacks -- and working with stupid people on a daily basis is one of the deadliest forms of stress, according to researchers at Sweden's Lindbergh University Medical Center.

The author of the study, Dr. Dagmar Andersson, says her team studied 500 heart attack patients, and were puzzled to find 62 percent had relatively few of the physical risk factors commonly blamed for heart attacks.

"Then we questioned them about lifestyle habits, and almost all of these low-risk patients told us they worked with people so stupid they can barely find their way from the parking lot to their office. And their heart attack came less than 12 hours after having a major confrontation with one of these oafs.

"One woman had to be rushed to the hospital after her assistant shredded important company tax documents instead of copying them. A man told us he collapsed right at his desk because the woman at the next cubicle kept asking him for correction fluid -- for her computer monitor.

"You can cut back on smoking or improve your diet," Dr. Andersson says, "but most people have very poor coping skills when it comes to stupidity -- they feel there's nothing they can do about it, so they just internalize their frustration until they finally explode."

Stupid co-workers can also double or triple someone's work load, she explains. "Many of our subjects feel sorry for the drooling idiots they work with, so they try to cover for them by fixing their mistakes. One poor woman spent a week rebuilding client records because a clerk put them all in the 'recycle bin' of her computer and then emptied it -- she thought it meant the records would be recycled and used again."

He'd be even MORE of a dumbass if;

a.) He didn't know the origianl meaniing of "Buddha"
or,
b.) He somehow expected us to know what he "really meant" by his username . . .

I mean, c'mon.

Well i don't know you, for all I know you're a devout Jehovah's Witness and got into an argument over who the real "supreme being" is with this 15 yr. old. I mean what were you doing talking about religion with a 15 yr old anyhow you know that's just askin for an argument usually.

When did I say i talked to this kid about religion?

I tell ya folks, I'm surrounded! :beer:

Wow are you sure you're not being affected by these idiots? Cause you don't seem to understand what I meant. Ok you said you dealt with a 15 yr old, and I was saying upon noticing your username that perhaps you were preaching to him which caused the altercation.

This is due to the fact that you gave us NO details about the altercation so I was just guessing/kidding when I wrote that. Follow now?

 

I'm so sick of people saying that 99% of the population is stupid.

Get off your high fvcking horses and join the rest of the world you egomaniacal immature jackass.

It's tough to relate to people when you're in the 99th IQ percentile and the rest of the world finds godawful things entertaining, such as hurting others, reality TV, religion, etc., the list goes on and on. It's not a choice and there's no egomania involved. Don't hate, be thankful.

I'm thankful I'm extremely intelligent. Though I'm past the point of being bitter about it.

All of you people who mention how 99% of the world is stupid, can take your super intelligence and shove it. You will amount to nothing as a human with out the ability to relate to others sincerely.

Er, you pretty much only post here to insult people, doesn't seem to me like you relate very well yourself. It's good advice regardless, but the problem is, as I mentioned, it's really not a choice for many.

 

[brunswickite]

first think how dumb the Average person is. Then realize that half the people are dumber then that.

 

[MacBaine]

I think I speak for everyone else when I say both Gurk and SampSon are idiots, so neither of you should be arguing.
