What I Thought About Stupid People

Main

(02-14-08) I think I saw an ad on the back of a truck this morning for Ken's Professional Tree Service. Their slogan is "We bring our services to you". Ummm...don't they pretty much HAVE to bring their services to their customers?

(03-27-07) I think it really drives me crazy when people say "31 Highway" or "78 Highway" instead of "Highway 31" or "Highway 78". It probably shouldn't enrage me so much, but I just can't help it!

(02-17-07) I think the other day, as I was about to call a tow-truck because my car wouldn't start and I couldn't jump it off, I realized that it was in drive...that's why it wouldn't start. Most cars won't let you take the keys out unless it's in park, but apparently mine does. I haven't felt that dumb in a long time.

(06-25-06) I think that anytime I do handyman-type work around the house or at the apartments, the question is not whether I will cut or otherwise hurt myself, the question is how badly will I hurt myself.

(02-20-06) I think my former phone company (talk.com) should have known that when they raise my bill $10 a month would be right about the time I switched to Vonage...

(09-01-05) I think I saw a very large billboard near Louisville advertising "tattoos while you wait". Ummm...what other kind is there? I think a drop-off service would be kind of messy...

(07-19-05) I think that Chase and Citibank both think that one day I'm going to say "Hey, this credit card offer is in a much cooler envelope than the one they sent me last week...I think I'll apply for a card!".

(06-14-05) I think I'm having a hard time picturing anyone saying to their boss, "Yeah, I'm going to need to take a few days off...I'm heading out to California so I can be there in person for the Michael Jackson verdict...."

(07-13-03) I think that one day, I hope to go an entire weekend without making myself bleed in any way.

(05-06-03) I think Jesse Jackson needs something better to do with his time than try to influence the search for Alabama's next head coach. Please, someone give this guy a Playstation 2 or something!

(05-05-03) I think I wonder how long it will take before I stop putting in my old home phone number when I check my voice mail remotely.

(04-11-03) I think I know why Burger King is losing so much money. Last night, for some reason, Tammy wanted to stop by Burger King. They were out of the pie Tammy wanted, and their shake machine was broken so I couldn't get my strawberry shake. Then, at the window, they were out of honey mustard sauce, which is the only reason she wanted to go there to begin with. I started to joke about them being out of hamburger patties, but then I remembered a time a long time ago on a choir tour when we stopped at a mall and the Burger King there was out of hamburger patties. And don't get me started on the time we went to one and the people didn't use the cash register and made up the prices (we came out on the winning end of that one)...

(11-16-02) I think it should not take three hours to deliver and install a refridgerator, washer, and dryer.

(11-10-02) I think I HATE FOX 6! I'm sick and tired of them pre-empting The Simpsons for some stupid thunderstorm! It's not even raining here! I'm considering legal action! I'm serious! This is ridiculous! It's the season premiere, and they're making me miss it because it's hailing on the other side of the state! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(10-08-02) I think that every time I see one of those new Macintosh commercials, I have to resist the urge to yell at the TV. They are complete and total lies.

(09-30-02) I think I'm a little concerned about the teenagers in my area of town. There has GOT to be something better to do than stand around outside Arby's...

(07-25-02) I think sometimes I'm a friggin' idiot. I just spent 10 minutes wondering why the modem on my laptop wasn't working. Then I realized that I was plugging the phone cord into the Ethernet port. D'oh!

(07-24-02) I think San Francisco should be kicked out of the US. Both sides would be happier...

(05-23-02) I think victory is mine! My Charter bill has finally been corrected! It only took 4 months!

(05-22-02) I think I laughed several times tonight as I was throwing away the watch catalog I got from the jewelry store where I bought Tammy's rings. I'm sorry, but I'm just not in the market for a $3000 watch right now....or ever...

(05-20-02) I think the headline "Suicide Bomber Blows Himself Up" is a little redundant.

(05-14-02) I think that while the customer service departments of both Bellsouth and Charter are completely incompetent, at least the people at Charter are nice about it.

(05-06-02) I think weathermen should just suck it up and admit they have no idea whether or not it's going to rain on the weekends.

(04-18-02) I think it amazes me how much time people waste ironing clothes.

(04-04-02) I think it really bothers me that they have to put "Do not eat" on those little moisture absorbing packets you find in new shoes and other products. I'd like to think that no one I know would think, "Hey, I found a little packet of some unidentifiable substance in my new shoes. Let's have a taste!"

(03-14-02) I think Charter has started taking classes from Bellsouth about how to tick me off...

(02-25-02) I think people use decimals in dates instead of slashes just because they think it's cool.

(02-18-02) I think it was funny when it took Tammy four tries to read a clock.

(02-15-02) I think anytime I hear words like "geopolitical", I ignore the rest of the sentence.

(02-08-02) I think I have finally defeated Bellsouth! They sent someone out and found faulty wiring...ON THE OUTSIDE.

(02-07-02) I think Bellsouth wasn't satisfied with my calling them an Evil Company, so they decided to disconnect my phone AGAIN for no reason and move up to the elite Ridiculously Evil Company status.

(02-04-02) I think I just read a really funny quote in the newspaper: "We are fortunate that the NCAA is not empowered to impose sentence on convicted murderers; otherwise, whole families would be executed."

(02-04-02) I think holding a university accountable for the actions of its "boosters" is like holding McDonald's accountable for all of its customers.

(02-01-02) I think someone should point out that the NCAA Committee that handed down the punishments to Alabama includes someone from Miami (still bitter about 1992 Sugar Bowl), someone from Kentucky (SEC school; wants Bama's penalties to look worse than theirs), and someone from Nebraska (wants to pass Alabama to be one of the traditionally top football programs). Geez, why don't they just go ahead and put Tommy Tuberville on the committee?

(01-29-02) I think that just when I think I'm as mad at Bellsouth as I can get, they shut my phone off AGAIN.

(01-21-02) I think Bellsouth has reclaimed its position on my Most Evil List (tm).

(12-13-01) I think some people on websites like to argue about anything. I just read a few messages on Dilbert.com (very off-topic) about whether or not people washing their hands after using the bathroom is causing kids to grow up with weakened immune systems.

(10-31-01) I think people who take themselves too seriously both amuse and bother me.

(10-15-01) I think if these mass-emailers think I'm ever going to do anything other than hit delete on their emails, we need to talk.

(10-10-01) I think sometimes I want to hit people who give you directions, but use words like "highway", "interstate", and "road" interchangeably.

(10-08-01) I think protestors do the dumbest things sometimes. Their thoughts must be "Hey, let's show the US we disapprove of their bombing by burning down our own city!"

(10-03-01) I think it's sad that I had to dig through my trash to find my Diet Dr. Pepper can to see how to spell "caffeine".

(09-17-01) I think a key missing voice of concern in this hub-bub over the "segregation" of the UA greek system is that of the non-white students. If they don't care (as shown by the lack of non-white people who rushed), why should we make such a big deal of it? Sure, the one African-American girl who rushed didn't get in, but neither did dozens of white girls who rushed...

(08-17-01) I think I wouldn't make a good telemarketer...I have a soul.

(08-16-01) I think it's funny how almost all electrical products these days say to unplug it when it's not being used. Yeah, like I'm going to plug in my can opener every time I want to use it...

(07-05-01) I think that, in light of the recent findings that a chemical they use to treat wood used in playground equipment contains large amounts of arsenic, the solution is clear: children should not be allowed to eat playground equipment.

(06-25-01) I think the NCAA is a bunch of Nazis who somehow think they have the power to be police, detective, attorney, judge, jury, and executioner at the same time without being biased.

(06-19-01) I think that if I don't have any potatoes handy to throw at the people who make me lose my cruise control, I should be allowed to use a large shoe.

(06-12-01) I think I'm saddened by the fact that BFI felt it necessary to put a warning sticker on our dumpster that says not to play in or around it.

(06-04-01) I think that when people file ridiculous lawsuits (such as the girl at my old high school whose dad is suing the school because she didn't make the cheerleading squad), they should be thrown out without even bothering wasting money on a judge, and I should get to throw potatoes at them.

(04-12-01) I think that hit counters prominently displayed on people's web pages is their way of saying "you're not the only loser who was bored enough to come to my site...a few others have too".

(04-11-01) I think that crime is not a good way to "protest" what you think is another crime (i.e - the rioting in Cincinnati over a guy being shot by a cop). I also think that if the guy hadn't committed so many past crimes AND run from the police, they wouldn't have shot him.

(04-03-01) I think that all of those idiots who said they were going to move to Canada if Bush won the election should be forced to actually go, and to let the door hit them on the way out.
