i work in the office at a tire store. we had this guy call and get prices for a certain size...no problem. he then calls back for prices for a DIFFERENT size tire. i tell him the price. he tells me i am wrong and that he just spoke w/ my boss (the owner) who told him that the price was such and such. i said, yes, but that was for that size. he keeps tellin me i am wrong! hello stupid! not every tire of a particular style and brand are the same price!!! he gets all pissy w/ me and says, i will just speak w/ your boss. FINE, he will tell you the same thing! which he did.

urghh....today has just been one of those days! we are incredibly busy and behind and the computers arent working......yeah, having a small pity party...lol. thanks for letting me vent!

Stupid people are indeed multiplying. I mean, looks at the threads we are all writing in sheer frustration of how stupid people are.

I've had people eat their suppositories, put their contraceptive jelly on their toast in the morning, drink their enemas, cram a suppository up their back side not realizing the aluminum foil wrapper should be removed first.... the list is endless.

People are stupid, no way around it.

Having been in the automotive industry for a while, I know EXACTLY what you mean. I have met so many mind-numbingly stupid people. Can we get a mandatory minimum IQ test before these people are allowed to reproduce? Is that so much to ask?

You have to take a test to drive a car, but not to have a kid.

Of course, that's because no one (including myself) knows who should manage the "parental permission" test. No one wants the gov't to do it.

What REALLY used to piss me off in that situation, was for my boss to cave and give the customer a discount, making me look like a moron....I do not miss retail in any way, shape or form!!!

Instead of a minimum IQ test I propose prospective parents should be:

Required to file an environmental impact report pertaining to the child.

Put up a $50,000 interest bearing bond so the child will be able to go to college if they so choose (if they do not choose to do so the money will go into a national fund similar to Soc. Sec. or it will be invested in various government bonds and stocks that cannot be withdrawn until they reach retirement age).

I have more ideas but those are the two main ones staying on topic.

Does it bother you to think your own parents likely could not have done that, could not have afforded you???

I couldn't have at the time I had kids, but all 3 are well educated--2 of the 3 with degrees...all being productive members of society.

Scares me to think of the only ones who would be able to afford to reproduce at will...

Oh yeah. Some people even claim titles they are not entitled to, or make up official-sounding but bogus names to enhance their prestige.

Yup! And then we get to mock the dumb-asses. :whoo:

I heard that some people were so obnoxious, websites were put up about them!

And they are VERY interesting. Too bad they can't be linked from certain messageboards (not LBT). If they could, it might open a few eyes!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
