We're Surrounded by Idiots

Did you ever feel you're surrounded by idiots? Do you think that people are generally stupid? How many times a day do you call someone an idiot (in your mind)? If it's someone driving in the wrong direction, cuts you off, smoking where they shouldn't, pushing both elevator buttons, or generally doing something stupid - I get that a lot!

I feel that people are generally stupid (them not us). I can’t stand the guy that pushes both elevator buttons. I am pretty sure he knows it’s wrong. The guy I hate even more, is the one pushing both elevator buttons and acting stupid – when it stops and you’re inside he’d go “are you going up?” you give him the totally fake smile and point downwards, so he gives you the disappointed smile and doesn’t get on.

Another type of stupid is the lady driving in the wrong direction on a one-way street. Ladies can’t drive, let alone use the reverse gear, so she plays blonde and stops, occasionally waving her hands in the air telling you to go back.

More stupid is the guy who calls you up in the middle of the night. You pick up the phone and your voice sounds like you’re right in the middle of surgery and you can barely mutter “herrroo” and he goes “Hey! Are you asleep?” I’m not sure if it’s just me, but I believe that telling someone that you’re asleep when you in fact are is rude, so almost always I would go “nuh, iz ukey” and the guy would continue talking!

I absolutely hate it when you make a fast food delivery order and the call center guy reads off your entire address to you, every single time. That is so irritating!

I’m sure there’s a lot more stupid, but right now I gotta sleep. Maybe I’ll do an idiots part 2.

you forgot city stars elevators!
People stopped pushing the buttons, they just enter the first elevator which stops!

You also forgot the baby inside the cinema, his mother is idiot for sure. And when her baby starts crying, she does not go out!!

Above them all, Egyptians when they stand up right after the landing. And when you get on the plane, they push you because you are moving slowly or maybe they are in a hurry!!

Nagia, ladies can not drive.

Nice post :) Yes I agree we are surrounded by idiots

You did not mention:
1- People who get into the underground and keep standing by the door causing a mess whenever someone tries to get in or out.
2- You are parking your car and your wife is waiting for you inside the car. And then a man decides to park his car behind yours blocking you from getting out. Your wife tries to tell him that you are leaving in a minute. He refuses to move and claims he will only be a minute and you have to wait for him quite a while to come back. And when he comes back he does not even appologize.
3- People inside the cinema leaving their mobile on. And even worse answering it when it rings. And the worst talking out loud.
4- People not respecting queues and trying to get their service before you although you are standing before them in line. So they try to pass their hands above your head to get their service first.
and .... and... I can go on forever
