Dumb Things People Do - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I know this topic could fill the board but I'm talking about little things. Unimportant things. But dumb all the same.

Customers that absolutely insist that grocery clerks double bag where the store uses the thin plastic bags with two handles. Then when the customer lifts the double bagged groceries they only grab the handles of the outer bag, making double bagging completely useless.

ooh - when someone says here is my cell# call me back as soon as "x" happens - and then you call and it goes straight to the person's voice mail, which the recording tells you "the mailbox is full", or "this mailbox has not been set-up yet, call back later - good bye"

I once had some idiot go off on me because he thought I neglected to call him back - then he asks me "well what number did you call? - What? I don't even have that phone anymore!" (that was the only number the idiot had given me - just the day before)

There are doors at the store specially marked "Enter Only" and "Exit Only" but no one seems to care which is which.

This is a GOOD thread...... People do more DUMB THINGS than smart things!!

How about grocery store chains who decide they can make .000257 more profit per transaction if they downgrade the plastic bags to replacements that are only slightly thinner?

Or grocers who allow damaged merchandise to languish on the shelves indefinitely? My local grocer had a cheese log that looked like someone had tried to use it as a door stop. Sat for 6 weeks, numerous restockings....yet no one bothered to think "no one is gonna buy this garbage?"

Yup crap!!

So very many, open their mouths and put their foot in it without doing any critical Thinking....one track minds. This is rampant, there can be so much to issues and so many people don't THINK>

And quick to attack others Who Think.
