While riding my motorcycle to work this morning, deeply inpired by those with whom I have to share the public roads, a "deep thought" entered my mind:

If stupidity were a currency, there would be a lot of very rich people around!

 

Well said I'll go ahead and share the story of the lady in her mercedes in the far left lane of I95 here in florida. I guess she missed her exit, so instead of just merging over to the next one and getting out and backtracking (it's like a whopping 1/2 mile later) she came to a COMPLETE STOP IN THE ******* H.O.V. LANE, put her turn signal on, and waited.....with traffic whizzing past at 80 mph. People like that should be shot. You CANT be that stupid.

 

a billionaire!!!!! lol

 

Your deep thought is right on the money. I figure most people are doing the best they can most of the time so I don't let it bother me. I just concentrate on getting out of their way.

Leads to my own deep thought. If we criminalized stupidity, we'd all go broke funding new prison construction.

 

Yeah... stupid bitch! I guess she has no clue how lucky she is not to have killed herself plus a family of 5 in an SUV. Incredible!

 

In her puny, self-absorbed mind, she was probably angry at all the drivers around who "wouldn't give her a break"..... Saddest part is, she'll probably teach her kids to drive with the same type of rational thought!!!!!

 

I think as motorcyclist we notice stupid more because stupid could be "it" for us. We don't always get a second chance when on two wheels. That said stay clear of asian women drivers not to be racist but just seems like nearly every time I have to dodge a stray cage that will be the driver. Anyways peace.

 

In my experience, when men make stupid moves, it is typically borne out of impatience. Women, on the other hand, seem pre-disposed to errors of judgement (like the lady in the Captain`s anecdote) or a lack of thinking of the consequences of their actions on others (narrow focus o making that off-ramp, to hell with the three lanes on the way there...)

 

a movie quote comes to mind. the movie was soso, but this actor is the man. "Losers are always whining about their best. While winners go home and **** the prom queen."

the moral is I don't give a rats *** how hard stupid people are trying. their "best" is still dangerously stupid and their worthless lives are a hinderance and a danger to me so I want their lives ended. I don't want to "kill" them specifically,(at least not all the time) I wish they would all just magically disappear. but if a major cataclysm wiped out a large chunk of Illinois, I wouldn't cry myself to sleep either.

 

I think I may have found my long-lost brother.... *sniff*

 

You've got a point there swordfish. When I said most people are doing the best they can most of the time, I wasn't thinking of Chicago.

 

One other thing;

When I say "most people are doing the best they can most of the time", that's not an excuse, it's just a recognition of what is. We just have to deal with it. Like i said, if stupidity was criminalized, half the population would be in prison.

 

Wow I totally misread that title, LOL
