This Place

I have found yet one more reason to dislike this place.
Stupidity.
I’m not kidding.
There are some of the stupidest people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting
here.
Really.
Not only are they stupid,
but they lie.
They lie about the mistakes they have made
and then they think no one will know they’ve made them.
Like the moron who hit me,
he didn’t know what color his light was
but he still flew through the intersection
(driving someone else’s truck without insurance).
Or what about the imbecile office assistant who messed my boyfriend up
because she wrote on his chart he had diabetes when he didn’t?
Now she refuses to do anything about it and he can’t get insurance.
Stupid.
Stupid people.
There seem to be more of them here than anywhere else I’ve ever lived.
Yesterday I test-drove a Subaru
and the girl taking us on the test drive didn’t know how many miles to the gallon the car got.
Nor did she know what the overdrive button did.
She didn’t even know what changes had been made to the new model.
Unbelievable.
Why is she working for this company?
Better question…why did they hire her?
It’s mind-boggling.
It happens in place after place here.
Restaurant after restaurant.
Nobody knows anything.
They all just walk around in a daze
happy and content,
stuffing their faces with Fritos and fried chicken
and buying twelve packs of Coke.
I want to slap one of them and say wake up
and tell them can’t they see what’s going on?
Don’t they know?
But they’d just lie and say they do,
when they don’t.
And nothing would change.
Nothing.
It’s Hell living among the stupid.
