When people don't have the common sense of a rock... email this discussion to a friend?

I just figured I'd share a few things I've heard lately that have had me scratching my head...maybe you'll get a few laughs and share some similar stories.

DIL (stepson's girlfriend that lives with us but DIL is so much shorter!) has decided that when this house is actually ours, she wants to put carpeting in their room (I'd said I wanted to get rid of all the carpeting). Her reasoning: So when stepson spills his soda on the floor and makes a big mess on the new carpet he'll learn to not leave his soda on the floor! blink

S/o's coworker throws away her clothes if a button falls off because she doesn't know how to sew them back on. She offered to pay me to fix them but then she couldn't find any new buttons that matched exactly and didn't think to just replace all of them. doh

Stepson (who is 18 year old) didn't know not to stick a fork into the toaster to fish out his stuck toast. He's fine, just a little zap.

And the winner of my "no common sense award": S/o for excitedly telling me he looked at a van for sale...it's exactly like the one I used to drive that I told him repeatedly I hated and did not want only this one he looked at is in even worse shape! The body is all rusted, the interior is all cruddy and worn and it's a short van which means no room for groceries unless I pile them on the back seat. He seemed disappointed when I said absolutely not but that if he did buy it, he could drive it and I'd keep his truck because I like that a lot more than that kind of van rasp(and he knows I don't particularly care for his truck either).

If I could bottle stupid I would be one rich lady! But then again, who would buy it?

Sounds to me as if the entertainment value alone is priceless.

Let alone the earning potential here on MyLot when you can share the stories with the folks that do not see the value in that little bottle of stupid.

Thanks for sharing foxy...you make me smile

All the people you mentioned in your post?*L*
Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

When my daughter was married, she kind of made friends with one of the other Air Force wives. One day she and her husband were at this couple's house. The guys, for whatever reason, were lighting individual leaves and letting them burn on the drive way. The girl ran out of the house and yelled at them to stop, they were going to start a forest fire. The leaves weren't blowing around, just burning there on the drive way, and there were no trees in their front yard. The leaves had blown in from around the neighborhood. Anyway, my daughter explained to her that you had to have trees to even have a forest, so, they weren't going to start a forest fire. The girl insisted that she had seen a forest fire in the ocean when a tanker had spilled oil, and that if the guys caught the house on fire, yes, there would be a forest fire. My daughter decided at that point there was no point in trying to argue with her.

Bet SHE would buy a bottle of stupid from you.*LOL*

That girl could have been my former SIL...she was an Air Force wife and not so bright sometimes either! LOL...a "forest fire" in the middle of the ocean! That would be a trick!


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2696)   ranked 615 out of 35,013 in people  1 year ago

They did try to tell her that was an oil fire, she just didn't get it. She even thought that they should have just poured buckets of water on it to keep it from getting out of hand. After all, there was plenty of water around.

Oh, gosh, just thinking about that girl makes my head hurt.*L*

Unfortunately most people doesn't have to buy it, they get it free and clear! I have a niece that after getting pregnant refused to have se-x with her husband because as she explained to her mother she didn't want to get pregnant again, yes she is a natural blond! Every time i think about it i crack up.

This discussion makes me think of the song here's your sign. I would buy some of it. lol I have always been told that you have to just laugh at the stupid and lately there is just a level of stupid that is not funny but just pathetic but those examples are funny.

Sad but I can relate to your DIL logic because of one of my brothers. He hated that after he got a new carpet and was warned he was careless enough to stain it when he knocked over a soda. For years he had the reminder.

Only stupid people who needed more, cause it is there. SIL sounds like a quick candidate for the Darwin award. You live in a soap opera, or a sit com. Hang in there.

Hey foxy, that was funny! You could write quite a book with
that group you have there! It's a wonder that they're all
still in one piece. I like the one about the carpeting, that
really was brilliant! Looks like you're the only one with
the brains and you have to look out for all of them. You
sure have your work cut out for you!

some one stupid would buy it.. look at the crap they sell on ebay!! i love it when people either refinance their house every year to where they keep adding years onto their payment OR they keep trading in their 1 year old cars for a new one to where they end up paying for like 2 plus cars while driving one.. people putting their down payment of their house on a credit card.. i knew some one that would blow their paycheck the same day they got it and buy electronics and not realize till their baby was crying that they needed to buy baby food for the next two weeks (including that day) ah hell i could go on.. forever..
