I have seen a lot of stupid people in my life. I firmly agree with whatever comedian who stated something to the effect of :

“Stupid people should wear signs. That way, when you see them, you wouldn’t ask them anything. You would just look and know they were stupid. Furthermore, if you did ask them for directions or something, you could catch yourself -Whoops, sorry didn’t see your sign.-”

I have known people dumber than hair. Dumber than rocks. Dumber than air… you name it. We all have. I used to think that stupid people were just… ignorant of the way things were. They just did not learn. No one sat them down and said “This is why this happens”. They somehow missed simple things like “Don’t drink and drive”, or “Coffee is HOT”. But no, I believe now people are LAZY, too lazy to better their minds to want to become more than ‘mediocre’. No one wants to know how or why anymore. People are content in their ignorance. They take what other people tell them for granted. Most people believe they are above average, when indeed they are JUST average or below. Anyone who needs a warning on a blow drier that says “Do not use in the shower” is below average.

This is how they should do IQ tests. “So, would you plug anything in, and leave it next to water, where you could get electrocuted and die?” First question, right off. If they answer yes, you know they have a few fries short of a happy meal. “Would you be likely to believe that as long as you have checks in your checkbook, you have money in the bank?” If they answer yes, put them on the little yellow bus. “Would you be likely to smoke a cigarette, while your engine is running, and you are pumping gasoline, while on a cell phone?” If they answer yes, they should not be allowed near gas stations. But the world does not think this way, instead we constantly cater to the lowest common denominator.

Stupid people are like chicks in a nest, they gripe with their mouth open, because they know eventually someone will shove a worm in there. They are the ones who complain about traffic, while causing it because they are gabbing on the phone. “Where are you? I am in traffic…” They are the people who whine about not having enough money, but continue to buy shit they don’t need. “I saw it on T.V.!”. They are the people who think everything that happens on Television, the news, or movies are real. They are the ones content in their ignorance, and will defend it to their dying breath.

You cannot reason with a stupid person.

We all do stupid things, we all have our moments… but those who constantly live in that stupid moment, and expect the world to cater around their stupidity need to be stopped. My intelligent brothers and sisters, do not sit complacently by! If you notice stupid activity, say something. Question it… and most of all learn from their mistakes.

Anyway, there is a small rant on stupid people. This begins my next installment APTLY titled “Stupid People” I will let you guess what these stories will be about.
