How dumb can people get???

An even dumber thing is when people don't follow height restrictions on roller coasters. Some lady tried to push past the lady measuring heights at Steel Eel. She wasn't tall enough. Height restrictions are there for a reason. You don't follow them you die. Simple Enough right? We have brains for a reason. I thig people just don't use them period.

Obviously you guys have not worked at Wal-mart 1Hr Photo. Try these on for size....

"How long does it take to get your photos done in 1HR?"

"If I have digital prints, do I get a negative back with them?"

"I have pictures to pick up." 'Ok, we're they 1Hr or 2Day service' "No they are for pick-up"

"Does a Digital Camera take 35mm film?"

and then my favorite one..."Are you guys open today?" when they had been waiting in line for at least 15 minutes.

You work at a Wal-Mart photo lab, swooshy? I remember those days. I love it when you put the 'I can't develop this picture because...' note in the bag, and they come back asking "You don't look at all those pictures, do you?"

Yes, Not only did I just see you naked in a picture, I really don't want to deal with you right now, since I'm trying to develop someone's amusment park pix.

I actually did like that job. But all those things he mentions and more really made me realize how I don't like dealing with the public. Then I went to work for the sick/maimed/shot/stabbed/puking public...

DON'T TAKE NAUGHTY PHOTOS OF YOURSELF/SIG. OTHER UNLESS IT IS WITH A DIGITAL, OR SOMEONE IS GOING TO SEE THEM!! (And possibly keep and post them on the internet. Or not...;))

I know how you feel swooh the public can be very dump in a store or park. I went to Paramount's Kings Island last week and I was in line for The Beast. The lady next to me asked where you can find Mickey Mouse to take his picture in the park. I tould her this was a paramount park and they had nick toons here and Scooby Doo.

On a smoke detector: Will not extinguish a fire
On a fishing lure: Harmful if swallowed
On a Superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly
On a digital thermometer: Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally

...to name a few.

I hate stupid people.

Other ones.

On a baby stroller: Please remove baby before folding
On a 12 inch CD rack holder: Do not use as a ladder

Seriously... :)

Yeah, it is only to supplement my income that I get for being a grad assistant at Mizzou. Thank goodness I graduate with my master's next May as I am not sure how much longer I can take of the idiots around here.

I love the "check your brain at the door" policy that Wal-mart encourages....hmmm that same policy is in affect at SixFlags too. ;)

Since this happened at Wild Adventures....I'll assume she took five back-seat rides on Cheetah IN A ROW . After that, her brains were...scrambled...;)

Seriously, these people *at the very least* need to pay for the costs of the investigations, as well as *punitive costs* (might I suggest "treble damages") to prevent other people from wasting the time that the PUBLIC is paying for...and some community service time so they can fully appreciate the effort involved in searching for someone who really IS missing.

speaking of stupid...

i was running the silver comet (MFI) for the day. apart from the usual people who don't understand "turn it around" for the airline-type seat buckle, i got a new one.

alot of people ask which way is the front of the train, and which is the back (instead of using common sense) --

... but yesterday, i was asked:
> "is this the middle?"

I feel so incredibly sorry for the poor schmuck who is going on with his plans to marry the runaway bride. All it takes is one quick glance at the picture newspapers ran of Jennifer Wilbanks to see that something isn't right with her.

But don't you think the news services looked through dozens of pictures until they found the one that made her look the looniest?

How dumb can people get? Preparation H not to be taken orally... Bottled water with the disclaimer "No Carbs" on the label.

Worst part with these labels is that someone did exactly what the label tells them not to, and ended up winning a hefty settlement because they had no clue that something bad could possibly happen to them.

Soon we will have the government telling us what to do 24/7, and most people will gladly surrender their brains to spare themselves the exertion of having to think.

Agreed RatherGoodBear.

As I said before, it all started with the woman who spilled McD's coffee on her crotch. Since then stupidity has run amuck.

I also agree that this girl and her boyfriend should at least pay for the time that the police invested in this. I hope they are proud of themselves. The police have better things to do like search for kids who are REALLY missing.

Tina: Sometime in the very near future, Nate or so other soul is going to come in and defend the Mickey D's woman. Actually, she *did* have a point. The coffee that was served to her was *literally* too hot to drink. Anything that is hot enough to give 3rd degree burns is too damn hot to be served as a beverage!

That being said, this is something else that can be reported on Fox News as part of their "Summer of Missing White Women", after all, no one is interested in the Downing Street Memo....

My favorite:

on a cigarette lighter: Do not use near open flame.

Tina, they are going to pay the police back for the trouble, but the real kicker is that she signed like a book deal and TV special (Lifetime special, no doubt) for her "story" for like 5 times what she owes them. How is it even a marketable story? She ran away like a coward and then claimed she had been kidnapped...end of story. Anyone who humors her by buying the book or watching the TV show should be beaten with a wooden soup ladel.

I heard someone bring up an interesting point though. I guess there is a law that states that no one may benefit from committing a felony. Unless this doesn't apply to the state they live in, it ought to be interesting how that pans out.

As far as stupid things go, I was waiting by CP's corkscrew for some friends to get off, and I heard the following from a girl walking up to the entrance.

"Ooh, its only a 25 minute wait"

The sign said "Wait approximately 1/4 hour from this point."

Jug: As you well know, there are three types of people in the world:

1. Those who can count
2. Those who can't

3. those who are too lazy to care. *** Edited 7/11/2005 3:15:36 PM UTC by Tycoontitan***

Let's see I know an answer to that question. I had locked the gate and was going around making sure peole were in their seatbelts and their doors were shut and I was going to check to see if the entrance/exit doors were closed when I see 2 kids standing inside the ride area. Their mother had opened the gate and admitted them to the ride area. Boy did she get yelled at. I let her kids ride, because they shouldn't have had to suffer because of their mothers stupidity.

Yay for impatient/stupid people.

are people really that stupid?And wich park do you work at? because i saw some lady do that at CP. and i know i'm no were near being a responsible aduld, but i think i would know not to let my child into a ride without first getting the ok from the op.Peoplle can be sooooooooooooooooooo(5 minutes later)oo dumb! *** Edited 7/11/2005 3:20:47 PM UTC by Tycoontitan***

You wouldn't believe the number of people who think that a 1/4 hour wait means 25 minutes. Seriously, it's just sad. It's not even limited to the younger kids either, it would be people of all ages. I would venture that I heard it at least 20 times a day when sitting at entrance for an hour each day last year.

Yes, people do indeed leave their brains at the gate.
