Stupid people

[sherrardk]

Do you ever get amazed by just how stupid some people are? I was in the queue at the chemists with the children today and someone actually asked if my youngest son's hair was naturally curly. Did she really think that I permed a 2 year old (boy's) hair?

"Do you ever get amazed by just how stupid some people are?"

Honestly, no I don't.

Constantly Sherrard :)

I did actually laugh out loud at that sherrard. Incredibly stupid.

Sherrard, I guess some people would get the tongs out.....

[albaqwerty]

there's a surplus of them sher

I stand in a queue and a woman comes up behind me and asks if i'm in the queue. Doh

[Hopkirk]

I sometimes stop to let people cross the road on a zebra, to find they are not 'queueing' to cross, but are just standing there.

[albaqwerty]

hehe I used to shout at 'em to cross the road, if they were standing there, they WERE crossing :D

...and what was your response, Sherrad? I would have said "he's wearing his dad's wig"

[boxtops]

Why do people on supermarket car parks walk right behind your car, when they can see that you are reversing out of the space?

Mother of the Year Katie Price would probably perm a 2 year olds hair

She straightens her young daughters after all

[Hopkirk]

Sorry Joe, but you have mentioned that woman in a KP free zone.

You'll have to leave.

Hi society - she was looking a bit jumpy (could have been queuing for her methadone for all I know), so i just gave her a 'look', whilst thinking 'nutter alert'.

Hi joeluke - you have seriously given me an idea. The boy needs his hair cut (he is starting to look like a Jessie) but the clippers won't touch it as it is so curly and so long. If I could straighten it I could get the clippers on it, but that means I would have to find the hair straighteners and they are a bot hot. Will need to think this through a bit more.

I used to get a bit non-plussed when working at places with an obvious uniform (Pizza Hut, Burger King, Somerfield etc...) and getting asked "Do you work here?". No, I just like the uniform!?!?!?

Saying that, when I worked in Somerfield (I believe it's moved now Naz? When it was outside the station), they used to pick up people on Saga trips outside and we had a similar uniform to the Saga reps so used to be asked all kinds of random things.

I once got asked if we served Pizza, whilst working in Pizza Hut and would regularly be asked for a Mcthis and Mcthat when working in Burger King.

When working in a library, had someone ask me to find a book they wanted. The only thing they knew about it was that it was blue!?!

It never ceases to amaze me!

kirky : KP is always a nut free zone :D

Bob : I'm guilty of that. I think it's thought a "pedestrian area" rather than a car park. But I'm reversing, it's a car park and not a pedestrian area (Twisted I is)

[Hopkirk]

Oh Sherry, at 10pm you were amazed that someone would think you might curl a 2 year olds hair.

By 10.17 you are planning to use straighteners on him.

[joeluke]

Don't do it sherrard, you'd be stooping to Ms Price's level

Take him to the barbers

[boxtops]

I made the mistake of going into B&Q wearing an orange T-shirt, several people thought I was one of the "senior" members of staff and asked me where things were.

[karenmac60]

Jenna - the library one! That happens all the time! 'I read this book and it was about a woman, it had a green cover, can you find it for me?' Idiots!!!!

[sherrardk]

I would take him to the barbers but he is 'not good' with new people and places. Wouldn't seriously straighten it to cut it (I would have to find the straighteners for starters and can't be bothered), but it does need cut.

My sister has twins - a boy and a girl- and people still ask if they are identical. One lady asked my sister this in a shop and her husband then arrived and asked the same question. The woman turned to her husband and said, "no, they're not identical - one is 4 minutes older." Doh!
