WE NEED IDIOT CONTROL!
In my lifetime I have interacted with at least 70,000 people. This equates to my age. True, I have met some unique and wonderful men and women. A few hundred crooks, matched in equal numbers with bums. I have known the near genius as well as the challenged. Good people and bad. 65,000 of the people I have met, alas, were idiots!
Like warts, I have been plagued by these half wits much like the heroes in zombie movies. ‘We have enough gun control……what we need is idiot control!’ They are everywhere! I meet them around every corner, every government office and behind most checkout counters. They answer the phone when I call for help with my TV cable, or when I call about a credit card problem and that’s when I get an idiot with an accent.
I have learned a few undeniable truths in dealing with Homo Idiotium. ‘Do not argue with them!’ An idiot will drag you down to their level and beat you with their experience. Idiots deal with an entirely different set of precepts. First, they come at you cleverly disguised as a normal person and often catch you off guard. As light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak. Once they commence to butcher civilized rhetoric, they will then refuse the first law of common sense that says ‘keep your mouth shut and just let people assume you’re an idiot, than to open it and remove all doubt’. Here is where they expose their cerebral atrophy for the world to see.
Common sense is extremely limited to these addicts of reality shows and UFO conventions. They often “own” several DVDs of Jerry Springer and make donations to the ‘Save Bigfoot’ foundation each year. Wisdom is the second law of common sense and goes hand and hand with knowledge. For many of them this is a weakness. Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, while wisdom is knowing not to put the damn thing in Jell-O! These are the same people that will believe you when you tell them there are four billion stars in our galaxy, but they will always check when you say the paint is wet!’ The disconnect is scary. God only knows what they do on computers when it’s a known fact that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.
All the same….there is one redeeming factor to dealing with the twilight zone endorsed. They are all gloom and doom in their philosophy of life. They are all pessimist. All of them! Therefore….always borrow money from a pessimistic idiot, they won’t expect it back!

Good advice!! I think all of the idiots live in Walmart!!
@Grannys_Place - True!
There was a girl tonight who in her first sentence basically asked what a specific post was about. Then 30 seconds later had a dogmatic opinion while she still didn’t know what the post was about. I wanted to reach through the computer. I pray she doesn’t have kids and I am not even religious.
Good post you are so correct about idiot control@Grannys_Place - I agree about the idiots at walmsrt my poor hubby comes home many a evening frustrated. Mostly because of the frozen food manager that guy just leaves Jeff dazed
It is a fact we have more then enough gun control
I agree! Sometimes I think, “surely that person KNOWS he’s an idiot!” But they don’t.
@Grannys_Place - They only trained there…..
@LadyboyRevolution - Don’t forget….we’re surrounded by them…
@whyzat - Most of us try to remind them of it….but they just deny it.
shhhh – you’re intriguing me with the jello. but then there are suchthings as temporary food art not mentto be consumed
@starmanjones -
Most of my wife’s casseroles aren’t meant to be consumed.
@UncCharlie - I’m taking it she think most of you blogs aren’t meant to be read lol, just a little pernally I don’t like that casserole think…we discussed it its casserole or trash and we aren’t throwing away food. or is it worse than that she likes masochism and makes casseroles often enough because she knows full welll you dislike them and thus is secretly and inwardly screaming with joyous laughter watching you squeerm.
@Grannys_Place - That may very well be true, Ruth. But I think my light bulb is a little brighter than most.
I think I resemble that remark on many of my ‘off’ days. When I’m having an ‘on’ day I can be rather brilliant. Although… now that I think about it… that might be a fignewton of my imagination. LOL…
@UncCharlie -
Don’t forget….we’re surrounded by them…
Please don’t remind me. How could democracy possible work.
@MzSilver - Got ta love ya!
Uncle Charlie if you have any idea how much truth there is to what you said within 5 states of where i live you may not believe your own eyes and ears. Most have 8 or more yrs of college, are Dr’s. who are Specialists, 5 minutes, and an attitude that None of us could get by with at Any job. An ounce of common sense outside of a book throws them into hysterics–Literately. What i have seen is criminal. An oath to do no harm– it’s not funny.
I have plenty of both and will approach with dignity and character then deal accordingly.
Yet they get paid very well for a `service` and that service has caused alot of people a great deal of damage.
Accountability? Think not but think wrong they do. Every action carries a consequence and when the wrong one’s suffer those consequences if someone does not bring the idiots (Arrogance) to be held accountable in some form This post will appear calm and serene compared to what will be seen posted by others.
The literal definition of an idiot does not quite fit these people but it fits my experience and thought process. AND they most definitely will beat you with their experience.
Patience is a virtue waiting for the right time.
That last nerve had to finally say something.
C*
As a card-carrying idiot, I heartily object to this post! I’ve got my eye on you, buster!
