So... in the grand scheme of things people are generally stupid. But can I tell you there are people out there who aren't. I know, what a contradiction. Here I have made this blog to vent about stupid people - and don't worry... I have a stupid person to write about I just wanted to clarify. Despite my irritation with those out there that are beyond stupid... I know not everyone is and there are people out there who can redeem humanity. We just have to flush the stupids first!
So a friend of mine lost her husband in a very public way almost a year ago. No need for details I assure you, you will get the point of the stupids without specifics. Well, needless to say, she has been in the public eye ALOT. She has however tried to avoid it. She has been forced to stay home so strange and stupid people won't come up to her. When she is out and about she has a spidy-sense on when the stupids are coming. Her radar just starts going off with a warning!
She went to the store the other day with her 4 year old daughter when she was accosted by this STUPID woman. My friend was in the check out line and could feel someone looking at her. She looked out of the corner of her eye and saw a woman with two little girls and her husband making frutive movements and glancing at her repeatedly. My friend quickly checked out and hurried to the food court to get some lunch for her daughter.
Wouldn't you know it... Stupid followed her. She tried to get as small as possible, she tried to look away and not be noticed... but it didn't work. This broad - because she certainly wasn't a lady - came up to her. She also didn't just say "excuse me." No, she pokes my friend on the shoulder with one finger and speaks. "Oh My God! Are you Sammy Smith (not her real name by the way)?"
My friend thought "You know I am or you wouldn't be walking up to me like an idiot!!!", but wanting to remain civil and not draw negative attention to herself, her daughter or her husbands memory simply said "yes."
So this idiot begins to babble about how wonderful it is to meet her and how strong she is. All of this blubbering while my friends daughter begins to curl up into a little ball and begin clutching her mother in an effort to stop what she is hearing. In order to stop the pain that is now flushing into her. This STUPID BROAD just keeps going, oblivious to the pain she is causing this little, precious child. Then she says "my daughters would love to meet your little Julie (also not her real name), and have a play date! Hold on, let me go get them!" She then proceeds to drag her family over to my friend and make introductions - like she's know my friend for years! Julie just got smaller. Now remember this is just one example of the stupid people she has to deal with on a regular basis!
Finally my friend was able to get away from this stupid person and Julie was in tears. But do you know what my friend told her. That people just want to get to know her because she's the daughter of a super hero. Julie immediately smiled at the thought. Isn't that a good way to spin such a horrid experience. My friend is a prime example of the type of person that can redeem humanity from the stupids!!!
