Ever Feel Like the People Around You Are Absolute Morons?

So, if you've read any of the discussions I've started before, you know that my landlord has decided to move to Phoenix, let the house go back to the bank, and force the three of us that are renting from him to find a new place to live within a few weeks. (He's also shutting off the power the MINUTE he leaves, so staying until the bank takes over is not a possibility.)
Last night, he invited his son (17 or 18 years old), another kid that used to rent from him (19 years old), and all of their little friends over to have a party. A 42 year old man buying beer for a bunch of under-agers... He's not the most brilliant. He sold his fridge the other day, so he rearranged EVERYTHING in ours so he could fit the contents of his own PLUS the beer in it. People were in and out, slamming doors, and clanking beer bottles all over my kitchen (which I sleep directly above) all night.
This morning, I wake up to little pings in the backyard. Turns out, the son and one of his friends were the only ones left, and the landlord was out there with them shooting beer cans with a bb gun. They set them on the porch rail and were shooting toward the neighbor's house, AND the dog that currently resides in our backyard. They also started a bonfire within five feet of the house, were spraying WD40 and orange and blue spraypaint into the fire. They ended up throwing six HUGE half-full cans of spraypaint INTO the fire.
My mom goes outside to take out some trash and tells him, "You know, somebody's going to end up calling the cops." And he, still drunk as everything says, "Let them call. Go ahead and do it, I don't care!"
So, the total of things that got messed up last night: one glass (belonging to my boyfriend, got shot with ten bb's), two patio chairs (mom's, covered in orange and blue spraypaint), six cans of spraypaint (I think three were ours, exploded in a fire). I also found a pile of poop that I hope to GOD came out of the dog, next to my computer... I'm 20 years old, and feel that I am more mature than this 42 year old man.
Anybody else have any stories about morons? I'd love to hear them.

He is really a moron. he is spoiling the underage and he is so not responsible. he has no concern for the neighbors. And what he did to your flat and your things was ridiculous. How could he! I would go mad if it was me instead of you. some crazy people huh.
I wish that somebody had called the cops. Then he would have gotten the lesson of his life.
NEvermind, I hope you find a better place to stay. you are definitely mature than that moron.
bless you

Thank you. Sorry it took so long to comment back, my mom and I were out looking at apartments.
It really is crazy how some people act. He's never been like that before though. It's just when he's with his son, or a bunch of teenagers. He thinks he can do whatever they do, and still get away with it. When you're twice their age, it's not funny anymore, if it's even funny when teenagers do it.
Honestly, I believe he's going to blow through all his money he's saved for the trip out to Arizona, and then come and ask if he can borrow money from me for it. I'll just tell him flat out, you're the one that's doing all the partying, not me. Why should I have to help him realize his dream when he's ruining my life right now? Seriously, if pressured enough, I could go into labor at any second, and he's kicking me out of the only place cheap enough for me to live in? That's a little selfish.

And the moronic-ness doesn't stop there, apparently. We left the house (around 1:30 PM), because we had to get to work. While we were gone, he sold our stove, and while getting it out of the house, locked the cat in the bathroom.
Well, about nine hours later (10:30 PM), we get home and have to figure out where the meowing is coming from and see that, not only did he lock her in, the toilet is open (I'm guessing so she can get a drink), and the sink is full of poop and pee. He obviously had locked her in there a LONG time ago, and just ignored her meows.
I've had it with this guy. Next stupid thing to come out of his mouth is getting him b!tc# (

Gosh, I cannot imagine how I would face that kind of situation and people. Perhaps it would turn into some really bad fight or something. It is true that some people out there are just some complete idiots and morons. My mom sometimes get me to my nerves when she suddenly ask us to move the cupboard and other furniture to upstairs which is really tiring. Especially the stairs part. The week after she would ask us to move them back to the previous location. I mean what did she really wanted anyway.

Well... To call some people I deal with a moron, that would be an insult to all the morons out here... Worst kind of moron couldn't be as stupid as some people out there... I worked at an electronic store when I was in my late teens... One guy comes in & throws this opened pack of batteries on my counter & goes, "These batteries don't work...!!!". When I went to start the refund process, register asks for the receipt date & store number & stuff like that... Then I noticed the batteries were purchased about 2 hours before... I look down at the package & it says, "rechargeable batteries"... So I looked at the guy & said, "Ummm... Stupid question... You know these are rechargeable batteries, right?". He goes, "Yeah I knew it when I bought it... What do you think I am, stupid?"... So I said, "You do know these need to be charged before you can use them...???"... He gets this funny look on his face then I can see light bulb turning on... He snatches the batteries out of my hand & storms out of the store... I work as a translator part time... I was at a bar with couple of friends & we saw few girls there... Make a long story short, girls ended up joining us at out table... And as you would when you meet a person, we started going around asking questions... One of the girls says to me, "What language do you translate?" so I told her, "Korean"... Then she says, "Say something in Korean"... So I say "Cheers" in Korean... Without missing a beat, she goes, "Wow...!!! That sounded interesting... Was that Korean?"... So I said, "Nah... That was Italian... Pay attention...!!!"... I got this question once... "I have 22 1/2 inch opening on my window... This air-conditioner says it'll fit 24 - 28 inch windows... Would it fit my window?". "Ummm.... You got a hammer & a duct tape?"
