The UK is very stupid.
I worked in a car park for a while, and the number of moronic drivers I had to deal with was rediculous.
*Disabled badge holders that demanded I move other disabled badge holders so that they could park there... thier reasoning being - "Im more disabled."
*People routinely asking me where there are free spaces. I can't keep my eye on five thousand parking spaces and tell you where there is one.
*People asking me for the entrance. It has a BIG. Im talking easly a metre high/two wide sign that says "Entrance" over it. It can be seen from the other side of the car park. Im stood under it when people ask me.
*People pointing at a parking space and saying "Can I park there?"
*And the best one - People parking on double-yellow lines, on "Do not park" signs and in front of fire exits and then saying "I thought that was a parking space..." morons.
I think its the general populace of the world that is stupid to be honest.

Hey Chris I counter your Brittany Spears card with a Celine Dionne card. Like Cybersnark said, Canada is equally as bad off.
Idiocy abounds and is sadly promoted by our schools too. Can't fail little Jimmy cause it might bruise him emotionally.... GAHH!!

My own favorite sign of the oncoming mental apocalypse:
On the sides of a case of beer or soda, right next to the two cut-out holes that are obviously there to function as handles, are the words "Not to be used as a handle."
Huh? What the hell are they there for then, improved airflow at high speed?
Well, the reason is, some idiot let a case sit at the bottom of a cooler all weekend, until the ice melted, and the cardboard got sodden; then he lifted it out--it tore, natch, and fell on his foot, breaking a toe or two. He then sued the company. And won.
So the company covered their assets by making it clear that those holes aren't intended as a handle, Hell no.
The problem with making anything foolproof is that fools are so damned clever...

I also hate the fact that we have to label Butter Pecan ice cream as "contains nuts". I thought that would be obvious.
Holy CRAP!
Does it contain dairy too? 'Cause I'm laconic intolerant...
Chrisisall, a piece of the dumb mass
Don't you mean lactose intolerant?

I rest my case.

Every country is full of stupid people there is no doubt, look at our leaders what fine examples they are.
I work part time in a chinese noodle box/bar/canteen (whatever you want to call it) after school and some of the questions i get are not only dumb but infuriating especially when the customer is serious. Questions such as:
~Do these prawn crackers contain real prawns? WTF?!
~How hot is hot? Ok yeah not so bad but how r u supposed to tell some one how hotsome thing is??
Unfortuantly even some of my friends arnt the brightest crayon in the box, one recently asked - after viewing a black and white picture for Studio-
"Oh wow Was it black and white that day?"
Holy cow, really makes me think, have we all really evolved that much more than apes?

It has been like this for a while. I worked at my college library back in the 80s. It was a private liberal-arts college that is regularly rated as one of the top 50 in the country. The exit to the library was two large, very heavy glass doors. The hydraulic arm on the right hand door broke, resulting in a jarring slam whenever someone used it. We put a sign on the door reading "Please use other door", and an arrow pointing to the left door(conveniently located less than two inches away from said sign). People who scored in the high 20s to low 30s on their ACT would go through the anti-theft arch and turnstile, stop at the double door, then come back through the turnstile, usually with some difficulty since it only turned one way, walk up to the counter and ask us, "Where is the other door?" When we pointed it out to them, they would leave, only to do the same thing the next day! Finally, I put a sign on the left-hand door reading "This IS the other door", at which point the very same people who had asked every day would get to the doors, read one sign, read the other sign, and turn around and say, "DUH! We knew that."
Be very afraid knowing that most of these people are in middle-to-upper management somewhere in America.
So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

I teach special education at the middle school level so I have a couple of words about this:
Be afraid, be very afraid...the future does not look bright if students are any indication of where we are headed (and I work in an upper middle class kind of NYC suburb)! Of course, the middle school aged child is an exceptional being. Maybe I should teach high school...
The apples don't fall far from the tree. Trying to enlist parent support is often a dead end b/c they aren't willing to put in the work required in parenting. Children are often a mirror of their parents' behaviors and opinions. (Okay, I'm being harsh. Not all parents are like this - it's just been one of those weeks! - but really, parents come in and act, or dress, as stupidily as their children!)
The amount of misinformation in the general public is astounding. One more student tells me that the US is in Iraq b/c they bombed the World Trade Center and I'm going to put my head into the over head projector and turn it on! I agree with the person who said (about Bush) "keep 'em scared and stupid"! It's working...
Okay, it's May and by this time in the year I'm short on patience and acceptance and hope for the future. Ask me again in September if the US is full of stupid people and hopefully I'll be full of the fresh optimism of a new school year!
