Well, sort of. I'm not literally sailing away, but if I were, Nicholas would definitely not be coming with me.
Anyways, today, I'm going to be talking about people and their stupidity, because honestly, there are an ALARMING amount of stupid people out there. Matter of fact, I would tell you to buy a gun, just because somebody might do something stupid, but guns are obviously repulsive and out of the question, but that's another story.
The first set of stupid people I'd like to point out are officials. I'm talking about police, fire fighters, school personnel, and especially emergency operators (the people that answer your 911 calls, genius).
Just this afternoon, I'm watching the news and they start talking about some stupid emergency operator that got a call from a lady that had been kidnapped. Now, this was no ordinary idiot, he was an A-class MORON. He decided, with no second opinions, that he should just wait to inform the police, because he felt that she was in “no real danger”. Since when do police get to decide when people are in “real danger”?
One time, when I was about 5, I accidentally called the police, and even when there really was NO DANGER, they came just to make sure nothing was going on. But this guy, this abomination to society, just decides that he would rather be an ignorant, lazy, slob and let the lady fend for herself. Well, that didn't work out so well. The lady was found later, DEAD. So, yeah, just goes to show you that not even the police are helpful in this day and age.
Next to take the stand of stupidity will be teachers and their lovely ways of “helping” students.
I cannot stress to you enough the hatred I have for teachers. I think they are the lowest of the low, just above baby killers and such. They preach their “wisdom” and “knowledge” to anyone who will listen, but when it comes to doing it without a freaking book in front of them, they're completely clueless. They act like they're “top notch” just because they can stand in front of retarded children that couldn't care less about what they're saying, and throw some “big words” around a lesson that doesn't even make sense to begin with. I'm sorry, but a ba-jillion multiplied by some random letter isn't going to get you very far in life. Yet, every time teachers are ever confronted with that theory, they simply say “You might not use it now, but you will when you're older”. Oh yeah, because there are just soooo many jobs that ask you to multiply outrageous numbers with random letters, totally.
Look, I don't know about you, but I know what I want to be when I grow up. I actually have a dream, and as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't involve incredibly stupid ways of doing basic math. And for those of you that are going to give your “what if...” crap, neither do my other three back-up careers I have chosen for myself.
Third on the docket of dumb: Wal-Mart employees.
My father, little brother and I were all out shopping at our local Wal-Mart, and everything (besides the usual crowding) was going okay. That was UNTIL we got to the register. We put all of our stuff on the conveyor belt, and I went with Jacob to the water fountain. Apparently, while I was gone the brilliant cashier asks my dad the question of “Isn't she a little young?”. She actually had the nerve to assume that I was Jake's mother, and that I was allegedly dating my father! EW. How dare anyone...And to actually ASK about it. My God, what has the world come to? Fortunately, my father set her straight, and I don't think she'll EVER ask ANYONE that again. If anything, she's a little young...that is to be working with semi-intelligent people, such as other Wal-Mart employees. Seriously, if anyone knows this lady, you need to get in contact with her bosses and tell her that she needs a little more training before working the floor.
Anyways, that's all the venting being allowed today. TTYL.
