Stupid People

The only con I've been suckered into lately was accepting Cicero's challenge to reach 1,000 posts, when she was already 700 in front of me.

I thought the point about the stupid people and beggars was the sucker who gives an unreasonably large amount of money to a beggar because they believed some made-up sob story. I'm not really sure if that is stupidity though.
Or am I being stupid in not grasping your irony and you already knew this? Duhhhhhhh?

My next stupid people story comes from when I was working in a petrol station (gas station to USAns.) A refinery strike led to an odds-and-evens rationing system; you could only buy petrol on alternate days, depending on whether your number plate ended with an even or odd number.
Questions included:
*Is it the first digit or last digit I check? (from a guy whose numbers were ALL even!)
*Is zero an even number? (Just let me check my reference list for you sir...)
*What's an even number? (WTF? Helllloooooo?)
