Wow.. Just.. Wow..

It's amazing how unintelligent people can be sometimes.

At least once a day at work I get asked if a certain newspaper is in the store. This is after the person stands at the paper rack, looks at the papers ON the paper rack, and not seeing the paper they want. They will turn to me and ask if the paper is in. Is it really that difficult to grasp that the empty shelf means the paper isn't in? Asking me doesn't change that fact.

There is more, of course, but you wonder after a while if there's some sort of IQ-reducer set on the door. Step in, you become a mouth-breathing drooler. Walk back outside, you go back to normal. Of course, if normal IS the mouth-breathing drooler.. Ummm.. I dunno then.. Can't help ya.

Oh yeah.. One more thing.. Signs.. They're there for a reason.. Read them.. Understand them.. Follow them.. When I lock the door and put the sign saying "Back in 5 minutes" Don't stand there shaking the door and knocking on the window. I won't be there to unlock the door till I'm done what I'm doing.

I don't know.. I like my job.. Just wish people were a little smarter sometimes.. We will see.
