Random Thought Thread

Stupid people strike again.

Whether it’s stupidity in (mis)management, or stupid people on the front lines.

Tried ordering a Walmart+ delivery last week. Usually never have issues with them. This time, I got to watch the moron who was supposed to deliver my stuff drive to who knows where, then submit a “Delivered” photo that was most definitely not my house.

In the past, one of my neighbors and I would occasionally find each other’s packages on our doorstep, so we both put up BIG house numbers right by the door. Morons will take the ‘Delivered’ photo with the wrong house number clearly in the photo.

This is what happens with mouthbreathing morons who just go, “Duhhhhh… GPS says it’s around here somewhere. Good ‘nuff”, and are too stupid to be able to read house numbers (and probably street names) to compare and confirm they’re at the right location.

We lament how the commonality of GPS on phones means most younger folks can’t read a map nowadays. They apparently also never learned simple things like checking street names, and looking at house numbers (much less doing things like, “OK, even numbers are on that side, odd numbers are this side. The number I’m looking for is ####. Oh, hang on… I just passed ####, then ####, and the numbers are descending. That means the address I’m looking for is the OTHER way. Gotta turn around”.

Now, we have idiots going, “My GPS made me drive off a cliff! WAAAAAAA!!!” (Yes, that actually happened. Is the driver really that stupid? Yes. Was Darwin cheated? Also; yes).
Recently I was out front of my building when a young lady 20 something, doing door dash asked me where 823 3rd st was & I replied, your on the even numbered side of the street.
The odd numbers are across. She said Wut?

I explained like I learned in 2-3rd grade that on any street, all odds will be on one side & even on the other!
Oh! Thanks I didn’t know that!

I feel better that I’ve done my part to edumacate the youth of Merican! 👍🇺🇸
