Lordofduct short rant about crap that he hates... agree?

I hate morons. People who don't take the time of day to ask themselves what the FUCK they are actually doing instead of just doing it ignorantly and praying something happens.

Someone goes and does some math. They multiply 12 and 10 and assume the answer is 120 because the calculator told them so. But they are oblivious to the fact that 12 * 10 actually means add 12 up 10 times. Instead they just memorize the damn times tables and then wonder why math gets SOOOO hard later on in life. I know grown men who can't even divide 9 by 3... WTF!?

A stupid girl at home opens her itunes, rips a CD to her computer using iTunes and never bothers to ask where the music went. How is it stored on her hard drive. Instead she can see it in her library and playlist and on her synced iPod and just accepts it. iTunes craps out one day and she uninstalls it, she installs WinAmp instead and is left wondering where the hell her music is. Cries and pouts that all her music is gone, she can't get it off her iPod either cause iPods are intimidating or some crap. And alas all she had to do was go to /MyDocuments/MyMusic/iTunes/ and find out hey... there's all my damn music.

but noooo... they're so dense they don't know what a directory is.

Another dipshit installs a program on their computer, it gets placed in their start menu. But alas one day under blind luck they mistakingly delete the short cut off their start menu (or desktop in other more common cases). OH NO'S they's lost their program. But dumb ass doesn't know how to get to C:\Program Files\Name of Program\ and just copy a new freakin' short cut. Please people, take your computer back to the store and shove it up the dealers ass for selling you something you can't understand.

I drive with my friend down to the corner store a mere 1/4 mile from home twice a day. Yet when they drive EVERY time they have to ask me where it is located. "Haven't I driven you there a hundred times?"... yes I have, but they never bother to remember WHERE we drove. They just blindly sit in the passenger seat and expect to arrive at the destination sometime in the future... in the mean time I'm just gonna stare at the clouds and wish I was at home masturbating to goat porn. How do these people remember where they live!? oh yeah, they get lost then. My own freakin' sister went to the mall once, and after leaving hopped on the turnpike and headed North because she thought we lived North of the mall because she went North to get there! WHAT!... 4 hours, yes 4 hours cause driving home takes 10 times longer then driving there, she calls up and asks my father and I how to get home from Orlando!!!! HELP ME! (I live in West Palm, a 3 and a half hour drive south of Orlando).

Buy a map morons if you can't comprehend North South East West. I mean come on, here in FL the ocean is to the East of us. Everyone knows where the ocean is, every major road has signs pointing towards the damn beach saying in bold letters "BEACH!". If that's where the damn Beach is... north is OBVIOUSLY to your left when looking at it!

But alas, I digress. I expect too much from my peers. Yep, that's what I'm told. I'm condescending and a know it all because I know these things! WHAT! That doesn't make me a know it all. That makes me as smart as an elementary school student!

Sorry that if I were to be handed $20.53 on a $14.53 purchase I know 6 dollars is the exact change... instead these morons at the grocer scratch their head like you just handed them Mexican currency. "Why'd you give me more money then the cost of the purchase?".

... that's a tip asshat. Enjoy it, cause you freakin' need it you nut bag still living at home with mommy and daddy.

I'm tired. How about the rest of you? Do you ever wonder how these people ever learned to breathe?

I couldn't resist

Anyway, this didn't all happen today did it?
Is this stuff from work?

I actually had to fix a lot of data crap at work today because of certain people's stupidity and/or laziness
Today more than usual.

yeah some of this happened today. This stuff happens every day because Florida is a vacuum into which all intelligence is sucked from the brains of it's citizens.

you should know, you've lived here before (I think I recall you once saying you lived in northern Florida).

I think it's America in general now.
And yes, I lived in Pensacola for a while. (which might as well be Alabama)

Oh man, I knew i liked this forum for a reason. Agreed some people are not very bright.

I've dealt with exactly that kind of dilemma for 30 years. Don't change who you are. The intelligence bell curve is an unfortunate part of life.

I'm guilty of two of those examples. I'm sorry? I still have trophies from 6th grade for tying for 1st place out of the 70-something kids, and going on to a geeky math tournament for the district with this girl. But nowadays, basic currency exchanges frighten me. It's intimidating.

And I also can't learn directions for shit when I'm being given a ride. I only learn when I'm doing the driving. It's just a hands-on thing. I can't pay attention when I'm not interacting.

Well I'm one of those dealers ( I'd rather not have a pc tower shoved up my arse, thanks) and I get some of the dumbest people buying computers from me. They always ask the same questions, asking " why do you have to make computers so hard to understand"? as if I was out the back on my lunch break building and programming the fucking thing. Even when I'm showing them the easiest of things like copying data to a thumb drive. I go through the most basic of instructions on how to drag and drop, only to have them stare blankly back at me as if I were explaining quantum mechanics.

I live in a small industrial town of about 30 thousands people. Whether or not population density has anything to do with individual density is still to be seen, but I'm beginning to see evidence to prove that it does.
