"I'm surrounded by idiots"

[PyroChamber]

Anyone here ever sometimes feel like you're the only sane one at your job while everyone else is just ****ed up?

 

[The Squirrel]

Sometimes.

 

[Krypton Girl]

I used to work for the government. In short, yes.

 

[KevanG]

I try not to be the sane one, that way I have no fun...

 

[Mr. Credible]

I used to work for the government. In short, yes.

i too work for the government... in kentucky.


double yes.

 

[Silk Spectre]

I just got out of seven years of working in a grocery store. Working in retail gives you a whole new definition of stupidity.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Not just at work either!

 

[Silk Spectre]

Not just at work either!

School too, oh thats even worse. There was a girl in my college math course who was so stupid I actually think it was an act. She thought one could be electrocuted by touching the TV screen. The professor used to mess with her so much it was hilarious. Another classmate wore really bright yellow shoes one day. The professor told her he had to plug in his shoes to get them that bright, and she believed it.

Yea...

The worst are teenage boys; they like to poke holes in cups and see how many employee's come to get a drink, and see how long they notice that water is leaking all over the place...

 

[Trainwreck2100]

I try not to think about that because what does that say about me?

 

[Schlosser85]

Haha, I'm busy enough trying to cover up my own ineptitude.

 

[Majic Walrus]

Hey! I was a teenage boy once!! And...

Yeah you're totally right.

Constantly.
1. A customer once came to the deli and asked what the difference between smoked and unsmoked liver sausage is.
2. A co-worker got fired for giving away a slice of pizza to another co-worker and didnt understand why they were fired.
3. A student in a class of mine described the Diary of Ann Frank to the class and said "I guess its pretty famous." The teacher had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing.
4. My father once said he couldnt care less about AIDS in Africa. He said they could all get it as far as he cared.

etc etc

 

[bullets]

I know that i'm stupid but when people around me start to get annoying I can only assume they are flippin ******ed.

 

[bullets]

When I asked my girlfriend today if she had any stamps her response was , "for what?"

 

[Trainwreck2100]

I had a customer call and ask for an elbow brace in size small
Me:It's adjustable
SC:But does it come in small
Me:It's adjustable
SC:So you have no smalls
Me:No ma'am it's adjustable
SC:What does that mean
Me:It means you can form it to most sizes
SC:So it doesnt come in small
Me:No (i could have explained more, but i had stuff to do)

 

[chaseter]

It is now mostly idiots here yes.

 

[Pluto]

All the time at work...

 

[zeptron]

Oh yeah. There's this one girl at work who can be really and I mean REALLY annoying. She does and says a lot of stupid things.

1. She's white, but she tries to act black all the time. She always saying things like "WHAT UP DOE!" and she always calls people "son."

2. One time she asked me what day does Thanksgiving fall on? I couldn't do nothing but just look at her strangely.

3. She once told my other co-workers a few months ago she how she slept with a 16 year old boy who told her that he was 19. She just turned 20 a couple months ago. Why would you go around telling people about your sex life?

Almost everything that comes out of her mouth makes me wanna slam my head against the wall.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

I had a coworker call in with 106 degree fever.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Anyone here ever sometimes feel like you're the only sane one at your job while everyone else is just ****ed up?

I know I was.

 

[Silk Spectre]

Customer: Where is such and such item?
Me: It's on aisle 9
Customer: Where's that?
Me: After 8 and before 10...

or

Customer: How much is this?
Me: $2.50
Customer: But I thought it was 2 for $5...

I am convinced at least half the population lacks even basic math skills.

 

[zeptron]

Customer: Where is such and such item?
Me: It's on aisle 9
Customer: Where's that?
Me: After 8 and before 10...

This reminds me of something that happened to one of my co-workers

Customer: "Where is this movie located(Can't remember the title.)
Him: "Sci-Fi."
Customer: "Where is aisle 5?"
Him: "Sci-Fi."
Customer: "Where is aisle 5?"

I had to hold back a laugh.

 

[The Geek Vault]

ready for stupid? ok so there are these two girls who go to my friends school. They were talking about the time differences in different places.... ready to laugh...
Girls: So wait in China they are a day ahead of us? If they are ahead of us in time why didn't they call us and warn us about 9/11?

Last Friday a customer ordered a pizza and it wasnt ready yet when he came for it. My co-worker explained this to him and he just stared at her. She had to say it 4 times before he got it. Eventually he walked out.
