Me Firefly is as dumb as they come. :facepalm:

Wow. Just wow.

"I know, I'm going to put this fire out with crumpled up newspaper and empty cardboard boxes."

The gas pump thing was stupid, but it was just one instance of stupidity. Momentarily not thinking.

The guy playing with fire starter at his computer just makes one stupid decision after another. It's painful to watch. The sheer stupidity.

And stupid enough to post his stupidity for the World to see!

'Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe'. Albert Einstein.

How did we ever survive? As a species, I mean.

We (people) are just dumber than shit sometimes.

The dumber ones burned, the smarter one reproduced, and after a half million years, (or is that 7000 :lol:), this is the end result of that improvement. :facepalm:

He's probably a whiz on that computer, just doesn't know shit about life.

My local bus company must employ the dumbest fuck's in the whole of Scotland, and the scary thing is I have to use the service, and put my life into their drivers hands.
Conversation with driver after enquiring about a missing bus.
Me "what happened to the 17.19 bus that was due before you?
Him "Oh did it not come then?
Me "well would we have been having this conversation if it had"?
Him "Well you might have missed it
Me "That's why I'm asking what happened to it?

I them went to my seat completely confused :eyebrow:

So you missed a bus, either because it was early, or it never came, or maybe even because you were late. And the next bus was on time so you got on and wanted to complain to that driver about something he can't possibly have any knowledge or control over, but he wouldn't engage in your conversation to your liking. So he's stupid.

I don't see it.

I've had that exact conversation. Out of sheer fucking frustration as yet another bus vanishes from the schedule. You stand there at the bus stop watching the electronic updates - and it says '508 Leeds 7 mins' - then '508 Leeds 3 minutes' - '508 Leeds Due' - ........................... '508 Leeds 29 mins'


Fuuuuuuuuuck!!!!

Perhaps public transport issues are a particularly British issue.
Because we rely on them to such an extent, it doesn't take much to make us mad as hell.

When my bus was running late this week I completely freaked out. Not to the driver, but I had trouble holding things together. Okay, extenuating circumstances - money issues, a connecting coach to catch, non-refundable coach ticket, mother going into hospital and relying on me to be there when I said I would, being a complete nutter.

But after I stopped crying I did secretly send death rays into the heads of everyone who got on and questioned the driver as to why the bus was late.
I wanted to scream at them for holding us up even further!

This is neither against or in support of Be-Bop or Glatt.
I suppose I'm just saying that buses are hell-wagons laden with grief, but also that it's easy to slightly exaggerate.

What, you think that guy was just hired to drive the bus?
Nay nay, he is the company rep, the public's face of the whole transportation system, the sales force, the PR contact, the information booth, and the complaint department. He represents THE QUEEN, goddamnit. http://cellar.org/2014/willy_nilly.gif

I'm very rarely late for buses because there are only 2 buses per hour . the drivers are in constant radio contact you can hear the control room chatter on all the busses when you're on them
I was only asking what had happened like a breakdown some reason as to why yet again there was no bus service.
I thought the driver might have known. More fool me to ask, public transport in the UK is a joke time tables are changed on a whim, services cancelled for spurious reasons,so much for private bus company's, even the local council who gives out the tenders are reported to be unhappy at this company.
We can't afford two cars otherwise I'd never be on a bus but my wife needs our car for her work

The solution is obvious, my good man, this sumbitch will clear pavement, and evaporate clouds. :D

That would work real good.
