Why are people so stupid

I was coming home today and I was about less than a mile to my place. Three cops were following a school bus that made frequent stops. By the time I got home all three cop cars had pulled over some one that passed the bus when it had its stop sign out. One lady was even right behind the cop car and went around him!!

HAHA. What an idiot, what an idiot. Even Homer Simpson can't be that dumb.

That woman is beyond plain stupid. She is dangerously stupid! She could have caused an accident!

ZEKE, you even have to ask?

F****ING STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!

Probably asked the COP, "what did I do"?

Used to see it all of the time! Damn, sometimes I miss being a Boy In Blue!

Trouble is, no law against stupid! Courts would be overflowing!

LMAO! Stupid is like today when I was driving to work. There is construction on the busiest street in town and the speed limit goes from 55 mph to 40 mph immediately. So like who in the world slows down right away? Well today EVERYONE did because the cops decided to have a speed trap there! What is that gonna do? How can anyone go from 55 to 40 without slamming on the breaks?!?! I was pissed off! JUST STUPID!

When I was in high school, the city added large speed bumps to the street in front of the junior high school. These speed bumps were large and had big yellow stripes on them.

The week the bumps went in, my friend and I had a riot of a time watching people ignore the large yellow "SLOW: SPEED BUMPS AHEAD" signs. Totally oblivious, or thinking that the bumps were smaller than they were, people didn't slow down and they would end up launching their cars into the air before coming down with a slam. ehehehehehehehe ....

Unfortunately, stupidity isn't a crime...but it should be.

These stupid people meet other stupid people and then breed more stupid people.

Can you tell I had a run-in with one this morning?

The idiot was going about 25mph on a two lane road that has a speed limit of 50mph. He looked like a redneck and had a beat up truck. He couldn't keep his car on the street and almost ran over some poor kid who was standing on the sidewalk. I wanted to shout obscenities at this guy but was afraid he was packing a rifle or something.

So we were driving home on Sunday. A car decided to ignore the red light and nearly hit us. He then proceeded to lay on his horn as if we had done something wrong. I think that he is one of those people who thinks that he is too important to stop at a red light and wait for it to turn green. We were pretty shaken, but we weren't hit luckily. Driving in Manhattan can be dangerous.

Probably drives a cab during the week. They can get fined for using their horn -- which seems to be genetic with them -- so he had to make up for it honking at you over the weekend. And, of course, traffic signals are only a suggestion to a cabbie.

(Having said all of that, I love NY cabs!)

That is so true. A cab nearly hit my friend as we crossed the street, and he made a left hand turn. Those cross walks are not a suggestion, buddy. He looked at us as if we had done something wrong. Pedestrians have a right of way, but that won't protect you from a bad cab driver.

haha i have a similiar experience. when i was in 6th grade, they put in speed bumps, but they had not painted them or put up signs yet...so we would see people SPEED down this little street and they would either HIT the breaks and make a loud screach or in the most funniest cases, they would hit the bumps and their cars would do crazy stuff haha.
