You ever wonder how stupid people get through life? I work with some real morons that can’t tell the difference between there right and left hand.

I always wonder if they know how to do the simplest of task like pump gas, buy groceries, make food, do laundry, drive a car, google or use the internet.

ever wonder?

And it's not only the younger generation.

Senior citizens not understanding how a bank account works. How did they get thru life?

There are a ton of people who just exist, and anything more than that is too much for them to handle. Just be glad you're not one of them and move on. Trying to figured them out isn't worth it.

Haha! I've had a couple guys come through our shop that just blew me away. You look into their eyes and see the back of their skull.

Pretty sure I posted this before, but one of our new guys was helping me last year. I gave him one of these screwdrivers where you switch the heads and flip them over to get small or large head, and flat or phillips head. It was set for a flat head when I gave it to him. He seriously asked me if I had a phillips head instead.

I stared at him for a second. "Really?" I ask...

"Pull the tip out. Flip it over." He was flummoxed.

I guess he had never seen one before.

Where's the switch to make it turn? Does it only tighten the screw or do I need to get another screwdriver?:D

If they are that stupid how in the hell did they get a job? If I recall you are in aerospace, correct? I've dealt with some dumb ass engineers only to find out they were brilliant people, literally wearing pants that's waiting for a flood and having pocket protectors. I guess in the end i was the dumb one.

I don’t know how they got a job honestly. One guy didn’t know how to open his email on his computer. Another guy didn’t know what scotch bright pad was

A couple bought a house across the street from me and got married shortly afterwards. One of their wedding gifts was a garage door opener. He was telling me about it and wondered if I knew of an installer.
So, I said I’d install it for him. He came over the evening I installed it and asked me how it worked. I thought he was kidding, no dead serious. We walked over to his house and I said you push the button when you want to open the door and then you push it again to close it. The two remotes you got, work the same.
He moved out two months later, left the wife.

Was having donuts and coffee the other day with a friend. A gentlemen walks in and orders coffee and a donut in a fine English accent. The girl behind the counter ask where he is from. He replied, from Europe. She asked how long it took him to drive here. He leaned in as we all looked his direction and said, young lady, you do know there is a ocean between Europe and the U.S.A? Yes she replied, I'm not stupid, even I know you have to drive around it. He looked over to me, I smiled, he looked back to her and said, three weeks.

A friend of mine had GF long ago. Her name was Mary, but we called her Airy.... His house was near an intersection with a signal that you could see from the front yard/driveway. Airy left his house one night when we were hanging out. It was late enough that the signal was flashing red. Airy drove to the flashing light. She just sat there. We all assumed waiting for it to turn green. That might have been giving her too much credit.

Back in 1997 my best friend Chad and I took our girlfriends out to Black Angus for dinner. We’re looking at the menu. Chad and I both decided on the prime rib. Chads girl friend Crystal looked at us and said “I don’t like ribs”. we still joke about that one. Her brains went to her tits.

I had a 17 foot closed bow with six seats. I was picking up a friend and his new GF, Suzie, who was standing on the dock. She looks at me and into the boat and says in perfect dumb blond speak while pointing "one, two, three, four, five, your boat seats six!"

I farm and at the elevator (grain co.) they had hired some woman with no experience what so ever. She gave me the scale ticket after I unloaded and I left without looking at it. Driving away I glanced at it and she had added the gross and tare together and divided it by 56 for the total bushels. Made for a hell of a load. Didn't hold up though.

Although I live in farmville I had to look this up.
She was hitting on you. :D

Maybe leave earlier? And you would get there earlier?

Just a thought

Talking about Gearwrench with the guy at work and how I like them. So he decided he had to have a set. He got the set with the directional change lever on them.
I said I didn't like those I'm always bumping and moving the lever.
He said he liked that he could move the liver and change the direction. I asked him why it was too much trouble to just turn the wrench over.
Long blank awkward pause while he thought about that.
I couldn't take it I had to walk away.

When you work on boats where corrosion and stubborn bolts are the norm. It's nice to be able to flick a switch to go the other direction when you working them back and forth to loosen them up and help the penetrating oil do its job. Flipping the wrench over back and forth takes much longer. 10 switches per bolt times "x" amount of bolts at 2sec vs 0.2sec per switch. It adds up.

And I'm not jerking your chain. Dont get me wrong I own some of both kinds as they each have their places

She was decidedly not hot. I think it was when I was cutting corn rather than beans but either way. She only lasted about a day and half.

After posting I soon realized this could apply to a few products.
I still think she liked you. :D
