They Walk Among Us: Stupid People


here's a perfect example of some dumb people in the big US of A.

While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. The agent asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has been for many years, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the beach. She drove down in a convertible, but didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving.

I told the girl at the steakhouse register that I wanted the half kilogram sirloin. She informed me they only had a 500g sirloin. Not wanting to make a scene, I told her I would take the 500g steak instead of the half-kg.

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped She keeps it in the boot...

My friends and I were on a Lager run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought two cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.

A similar incident: My friends and I were shopping in a Singapore Wrangler store. We collectively ended up buying $400 worth of stuff, and asked the cashier for a discount. She said you have to shop more to get a discount. "How much more?" we asked. "Minimum $500," she said. "And if we do, how much discount will you give us?" She thought for a moment and said 20%. So we quickly went and added $100 worth of more stuff, ran the bill up to $500, got the 20% discount, and ended up paying… you guessed it… $400!

I was hanging out with a friend when we saw a woman with a nose ring attached to an earring by a chain. My friend said, "Wouldn't the chain rip out every time she turned her head?" I had to explain that a person's nose and ear remain the same distance apart no matter which way the head is turned.

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "Has your plane arrived yet?"

***

While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."

Yep, they sure do walk among us. And they also reproduce!
