How stupid can you be?

[BrotherBenny]

At my old job in the UK, I used to have to take mail to the post office to get signed-for slips and such, and one day I overheard this woman on her phone:

"The best thing you ever did for me was get yourself arrested"

She then went on - to the person on the other end - telling him exactly what she thought of his antics, detailing each one as she went along.

I don't blush easy but as one of three guys in the line, we were almost blushing with shame and embarrassment.

I wouldn't call the women at the bank "stupid"...more like attention whores.

"Stupid" is the guy at the auto dealership I bought my car from just last month, talking to his credit card customer service. I clearly heard him read off the numbers on his card, give them his ENTIRE social security number, his billing address, then he asked how much he had left on his card before reaching his credit limit and repeated his remaining credit limit of $150,000...THAT my friend is STUPID!!!!

I hope you took notes and put them to good use!

Stupid isn't the right word. 'Stupid' is the guy who pulled into my brother's car shop with a registration sticker that was obviously done with Magic Marker, or maybe really expensive crayons.

Oh, this was the equivalent of him being told to put a sock in it - it was just a rather passive-aggressive way of doing it.

Yes, I figured that the applause was meant ironically.

That sounds like a country song.

I once heard 2 teens talking about who they were sleeping with, etc... while at the bus stop. They just couldnt care less that I was standing *right* there next to them. :\

They probably WANTED everyone within earshot to hear about their sexual exploits!

I was seated behind two young ladies on the bus one day when one of them said to the other: "I don't know why, but whenever I have a few drinks I just get this uncontrollable urge to go down on some guy!"

And me without a flask

Has anybody here ever overheard a conversation that probably should have been discussed in private and not in public?

I was on a packed bus last summer and a couple of ladies in the back were talking very loudly, obviously so all could hear, about the 'tricks' they were doing, and I don't think they meant Doug Henning type tricks, either.

eta: Just noticed Colonel Green post above mime, wow the bus is fun...

 

[Lookingglassman]

Some really great stories here. I think a lot of the loud mouths out there are "attention whores". I never discuss anything private in public with friends I meet and if I have to talk to someone on my cell phone I try to do it away from the prying ears of others. I just dont believe in letting others know what I do. It aint none of their business.

wish there were girls like that on MY bus...

At work I've overheard my employees wanting to go do some coke. They had the nerve to look surprised when I ordered them to HR to go do a drug test.

 

[Kail]

The whole time I was like, "Don't these idiots have no shame?" I mean you bascially are telling a room full of strangers all your business.

I don't claim to be perfect, but before I went around calling people stupid, I'd check my grammar and spelling. Just saying.

On a Scottish train he would be told to put a sock in it.

I believe the correct phrase is "Haud yer wheesht!"

And you know stupid runs in that family because the wife & daughter were in the room with us at the time... apparently completely unable to reconcile the very loud recitation of very sensitive information coming from the back room with our snickering and giggling in the corner.
If we were bad people life would be so different right now, lol...

But come on babe, the crown for Stupidity In Public Or Private has to go to you ex and his girlfriend... who else has the cajones to continuously attempt to verbally abuse people with both of their feet in their mouths?

I didn't mention them due to the fact that it would take about three pages of a thread to just scratch the surface of their stupidity.....

That reminds me of when I was managing the Housewares area of a department store. We set up a big birthday party for one of the staff--cake and all--but had nothing to light the candles with. Someone said, "Go find an employee who smokes. They're bound to have a lighter on them."

I went onto the sales floor and asked one particularly slow-witted salesgirl if she was a smoker.
Her reply: "You mean, of cigarettes? I smoke, but not----cigarettes."

*face/palm*

Well, that explained the "slow-witted" part.
