News Flash: People Are Stupid

Okay, so I went to the bank the other day. I went inside and there is a line up of three people for the bank machines. One guy is at one machine, and the other is empty. I used what little smarts I have to surmise that the empty machine must be out of order, and got in line. A few minutes later, the line has grown to six people (including me). All the other people who came in after me obviously came to the same conclusion about the empty machine as I did because they all quietly took up their place in the line.

I'm sure you can probably guess what happens next. Some tool comes in, looks at the machines, looks at the length of the line and says...wait for it..."The other machine not working?"

One lady, bless her heart, actually answered because the rest of us just sort of looked at the moron, wondering if we had heard what we just thought we heard.

I mean, there's a little thing called common sense, isn't there? Did the idiot think we were just all standing there because we enjoy the thrill of the line up? We were running low on anticipation that day, and decided to stock up at the bank? Maybe we all just had a preference for the machine on the right, instead of the lefty one.

I feel bad for stupid people. They can't help it. On the other hand, they are to be congratulated for getting where they were going without any major injuries...I guess.
