The Accomplishments of Humanity a.k.a. Your Generic NPF Thread of Stupid Things

Aldurin · 08-15-2011, 01:46 AM

This thread is if you find something that is so horribly stupid it argues in favor of anti-evolution or the like, post it here. It can be something you did, something someone you know did, something a random stranger did, or something a lot of people are doing. Hell, even if it's something you're planning to do.

Let's start with the second-to-last option.

Truck Nuts.

Seriously? It wasn't manly enough for them to just have a truck. They needed a truck with a ballsack hanging from the back of it.

This is the world our children will be raised in. A world where you will randomly find vehicles with genitalia accessories slapped all over them.

What sort of stupid have you been exposed to recently?

I met someone who said Uwe Boll wasn't that bad a filmmaker.

I met someone who argued vehemently that 3.25% milk was not whole milk, and that rather whole milk must be 100%. Because 100 means whole, right?

Honorable mention: A girl I know (i hesitate to use the word 'friend') who at the age of 18 had never seen a penis. Her best friend in an effort to describe a phallus to her said that "the balls are on top and hang over" and was totally serious, she seriously thought that was what a penis was. The girl who had never seen a schlong is now in nursing, and the girl who thought the balls were on top like some kind of lobes is now married.

Prize for restoring my faith in humanity: A friend of mine who heard that, stood up, and dropped his pants right there and then to make that bullshit stop.

Today.

Manager accuses me not keeping the my side of the store organized and nice, says I blame customers.

During berating a hyperactive kid runs into the display I just finished assembling and continues on pretending nothing happened. Display products falls everywhere. I just point at kid and stare at manager. Manager tries to play it off like nothing happened. I nearly raged.

Do you know who gets the lowest equipment budget of ANY employee? The cart associates. I've got a single radio that doesn't even have a belt clip, the cheapest cart pushing machine available and the cart stalls are falling apart and/or shoved out of place.

bottled water, tap water run through a simple filter, then sold for 10 times as much.

You forgot the bit where it is also filled with nasty chemicals from the plastic. Those chemicals are expensive to be fair, someone's got to pay for the poison.

Where I live it's been getting to be 115 degrees or hotter. The cart pushers literally get paid the absolute least out of all the employees (I detest being called an associate. If I was a real associate I would be making more than 8 bucks an hour.) They should be getting hazard pay or something. Pushing carts suuuucks under normal circumstances. With this heat going on? Fuck you, Zombie Sam Walton.

Of course, I work in Lawn and Garden, so I spend most of my work days outside, so I can sympathize with the cart pushers (If I work in the mornings) or unloading the trucks (If I work in the evenings, and incidentally I get paid less than they do. So JOY at doing someone else's work and getting paid less for it!)

Not to pry, but do your managers not communicate with each other at all and give you contradictory and often impossible instructions? And then bother you incessantly as you are trying your best to do the work of 3 people because your store is more than 150 people understaffed and they have pulled everyone who works in your department to go work somewhere else? And then you have another manager walk up and tell you to drop what you are doing to come and do something on the other side of the store? And then the manager that assigned the first task gets mad at you because you didn't finish? Then repeat with another manager until you have been yelled at 4 times in a day?

*pant* *pant*

I err... kinda raged a bit I think...

Sorry.
