New Scope

I have decided to change things up a bit.  In light of the fact that I tried to write a blog about life and all the things that go with it and found that's just not that interesting...  Let's try something new.

From now on I'm going to try and write about stupid people.  That's right, you heard me right.  STUPID PEOPLE!  I hate stupid people.  I say it all the time and I mean it.  This will give me the outlet to share all of the stupidity that comes my way. Usually in my everyday life, while working, I encounter at least one stupid person a day.  If not more.  Usually... more.  Be that as it may I'll try and limit my rant to one person a day.

Because I do what I do - and no I won't say - I'll try and keep things ambiguous.  I'll not name names, or tell you exactly what I do.  For the sake of argument, I work in customer service selling widgits and gizmos.  Widgits and gizmos are things that eveyone needs therefore I see EVERYONE at some point in their life.  Other then that, I can't explain exactly what I do.  It's not fair to the stupid people because despite the fact that they're stupid... they'll figure out who they are and then... I get in trouble.  So please, don't ask... Just enjoy the ride.

Stupid Person number one:  This is actually a lot of people because no one believes me when I tell them.  At Customer Service Mart (my fake work place) we only take cash or checks.  I know, archaic but that's the way it works isn't it?  There are signs everywhere... on the door, on the computers, on the windows, around the room...  We're just short of neon lights, it's that obvious.  Do you think anyone ever sees these?!?  Of course not. 
When they get up to me with their Widgits or Gizmos, ready to pay (or so they think) I tell them their total.  "Ok Sir, your total is $97."  It is then that they get their debit or credit card out of their wallets and hand it to me, flick it across the counter or generally hold it out stupidly looking for the key pad to slide it through.  I then say "sorry Sir, cash or check."  And do you know what these Stupid People do and say?????   They hold out their card to me (those that haven't flicked it at me) and say "Debit?".  My thought... ' Was that an option I gave you dumb ass?!?'  But instead I simply say, "Nope, cash or check.  But you can visit the ATM over there if you don't have enough cash or your check book." 
They then look at me like I'm the dumb ass and stomp off toward the ATM, pay an astronomical fee for the money because they were too stupid to see the signs everywhere and go get cash before they came up to me to pay for their Widgit. 

Ok... so how's that for Stupid?
