alot of times, i'll see or hear something that takes me aback for a moment. example: the asshole driving in front of me down union today that thought it was a brilliant idea to make a left turn on red. another example: hippies. i'll think to myself, "what is this? what is going on right now??" it's then when i realize that i've forgotten again that people are inherently stupid. not just uneducated, like they can't do calculus or don't know who Benazir Bhutto is, but stupid as in STUPID, as in can't-find-my-own-asshole-with-two-hands-and-a-flashlight-stupid.
there is a basic misconception that i live my life by: people are generally intelligent, sentient, beings. i assume that everyone else on this planet, or at least those i interact with on a daily basis, have some semblance of thought processes going on.
it turns out that this is false. people are just wandering through life, hoping that they make it through the day by sheer luck and (rarely) ingenuity.
this is most evident when it comes to driving. the other day, mimi and i were taking a nice little stroll down church street (it might have been nice for her, but i was sweating out a lot of booze) and we observed a man literally roll through a green light. conversation is as follows:
mimi: well, my day is ruined.
ali: why?
mimi: the speed at which that man just drove his car through that green light seriously upset me.
i couldn't have said it better myself. i literally hate that guy.
driving isn't the only thing that causes me sheer and utter pain for having to deal with the mindless beings that wander this planet. no, no, there is something even worse: standing in line at the gas station.
there are some mornings where i run into the gas station right by my house to literally grab an $.86 can of diet coke. the cashier and i have worked out a cute little system - i throw him a dollar, he doesn't insult me by giving me back pennies and instead hands me a nickel and a dime, we smile, and i (very quickly) go on my merry way. some days, however, our routine is interrupted by very, very, very stupid people. and by this, i mean poor people buying lottery tickets.
the lottery is one of those things that someone very smart must have invented because they don't suffer from the same misconception that i do. they realized right off the bat that people are generally dumber than sacks of shit. please people, you're buying lotto tickets. i can tell by the way you are dressed slash smell that you are poor. how about you pay your fucking rent or your water bill? just a suggestion. you're not gonna make it big, i promise. you might win another lottery ticket or $10, but i know you're just gonna blow that $10 on more lottery tickets, so how about we nip this ridiculous cycle in the bud, there, sweetie? i'm just looking out for your best interests.
another place where you can find a treasure trove of simple-minded plebians is any internet site that allows commenting. youtube, political commentary, anything - filled with statements like "u don kno meee!!111!!" "lolz at teh kewtie!!" "faggit" "kill urself ur so dum" and "w00t!!1!" i can't get into it any further than this; it gives me a headache.
sometimes, people make me want to kill myself. love/hate relationship. i'm sure you understand.
