Anyone else hate stupid people?

Just lately I have been extremely perceptive as to how many stupid people there are in this world. If you have any funny/interesting stories about them, post a reply. Or if you just wanna vent your frustrations, feel free. The worst was my former garde manger in Phoenix. He was the type who would stand there and watch you work, and his idea of helping was pulling the tickets from the micros and hanging them up. Grrrr!!!!

Yes! Yes, indeed! Stupid people often appear in meetings where they always ask dumb questions that delay the end of the intended "brief" meeting. Stupid people always seem to find me, even though it's perfectly obvious that I don't want to talk to them. There's a song in some movie I saw recently that had a line something like this: I've been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding. Too true for comfort. They're the same ones who bring a sleeping infant into a restaurant and then proceed to unwrap and poke at the poor baby until it cries.

Hey guys!!! Thank you for making me feel like I'm not the only one!!
Jeni: I know they won't get out of my kitchen, but I'm trying!!! (lol)
Sandy: Don't you just love brief meetings?

And to everyone else, I've done some dumb things, but I think that my ex-coworker LeeAnne has me beat. She actually fell asleep in the dining room one day, and was awakened by my manager, who fired her immediately. Let's just say that she was definitely a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Although, I have to admit that sometimes my brain takes a hike and I do some pretty stupid things myself from time to time.

Bekka,

They'll never get out of your kitchen!

put it this way, a subordinate at work has, shall we say, raised stupidity to a art form.

as a joke i told him that the mir space station may hit work and asked him "did you get your emergency helmet off the police?, if not go to the police station and ask them for one."

gees, i didnt think he'd go there and then (middle of service).

You guys are making me laugh! A rare thing for me in these times.

How about a guy who takes 40 minutes out of a menu planning meeting, to read everyone his Mission Statement. Now that's STUPID!

Last week I discovered one of my college girls in the process of making a grilled cheese sandwich in the toaster!

And then there was the morning that I walked in to work to discover that the refrigerator/salad bar had somehow come unplugged and the deli sliced turkey breast I had placed in a cold tray was room temperature. As I was dumping it in the trash the housekeeper yelled at me, "ARE YOU GOING TO THROW IT ALL AWAY?" I then offered to let her take it all home. She declined

And I can't leave this one out. One morning last week a girl came in to the kitchen to tell the housekeeper, (who was eating breakfast)that someone had left a used tampon in a shower. She said that she had made a note and taped it to the shower, closing it down because she didn't know how to clean it up.

I had an assistant cook once. Once morning she decided to use the grill, but the pilot lights were out. She turned on the gas and left it on while she searched the kitchen for matches! When she went to light the grill it blew up in her face! Thank God there was no permanent damage.

In reading some of these posts I think it is important to recognize a difference between down right stupid people and people who are just plain lazy.
