| | | Dumb things people do... So...
What's the dumbest thing that people do as a matter of course, without thinking about it? Something that people take for granted, but when you stop and think about it, it's utterly stupid?
Like, for instance, using a dollar note to buy a bookmark. Why not use the dollar note for a bookmark?

Honestly... boys!

| | | Re: Dumb things people do... 1. Spend 8 years getting a MA in Physics(or other 'bigtime degree'), then go become a Customer Service representative for Comcast(or other unrelated job).
2. Marry their highschool girlfriend/boyfriend while the hormones are still hot.
3. Take psychology in university.
4. Pay for small items (like bookmarks) with credit.
5. Call Customer Service for anything other than morbid humour.
6. Hang up on telemarketers before you tell them to take you off their calling list and put you on their "do-not-call" list.
7. Become a telemarketer.
8. Sit on the couch watching an exercise program while eating triple-bypass brand chocolate-chip-cookie-dough-whipped-lard-'icecream'.
9. Order 'low fat' foods instead of walking to work, going to the gym, or getting a physicaly demanding part time job.
10. Pay for a gym membership in order to get healthy; only athletes need personal trainers, and they have a monopoly on all the good ones allready.

| | | Re: Dumb things people do... Wonder why their TV (or, insert electical item of choice) doesn't work, call customer service at the cable/satellite provider, wait on hold for 20 minutes listening to mind numbing ads and sound (won't even call it music as it's undeserving), argue ragefully  with the representative that they're paying good money and things should work like they are supposed to, threaten to switch providers, and continue to do so until they get a technician sent to their home the next day to make sure everything gets fixed, and have the tecnician inform them... "Sorry Sir/M'aam... It wasn't plugged in."
...that, and displace their frustrations and anger on animals.  |

I'd say that young man has a good future as a CIA agent (for which he should start learning Arabic), or as a prison guard at Pelican Bay...
