I have come to the logical conclusion that stupid people like chicken.

On Friday night we were making our way to the pub. Brad dropped us of at Surry Hills train station. I was planning a big night, so there was no chance I was drinking.

We had 30 mins to wait for the train, and we were all starving – so we make our way to Red Rooster, a popular chicken fast food chain in Australia.

When we got inside, there were 3 women who had all arrived at the same time, and just before us. The first lady walks up to the counter and asks for a chicken, to which the cashier chirpily replies –

“I am sorry, we have run out of chicken this evening, can I get you anything else?”

I thought this reply was pretty standard – and what kind of chicken shop runs out of chickens anyway??? Second rate establishment if you ask me…

So first lady is standing next to the counter, waiting for her food.

The second lady meanders on up to the counter and quite ridiculously requests a chicken.

This second lady was approx. 2 meters away from the original one when she placed her order and the cashier quite audibly remarked –

“I am sorry, we have run out of chicken this evening, can I get you anything else?”

And he was forced to re-iterate this exact sentence to the second woman.

I couldn’t understand, I quite clearly heard the cashier, and there was about 7-10 meters in between us….

The icing in the cake though is the third woman… you guessed it.

“I am sorry, we have run out of chicken this evening, can I get you anything else?”

Understandably, I had graciously admired the collectiveness of the cashier at dealing with these idiots, however, by the third time, he was visibly frustrated, and it was at this point that my brother, my friend Dave and I cracked up in hysterics.

We all the proceeded to the counter, and asked for a chicken… the cashier could have knocked us out with the look in his eye!!!

Arrogance is one of my greater personal flaws. I simply don’t have time for ignorant and stupid people. If the fact that they didn’t have any chicken was only derived from a complex mathematical equation, I could perhaps understand why these women asked, but the simple fact remains, is that they are just stupid, and they dont pay attention.

I see it every day. Just last week a client called our company just to ask if it’s ok to put the computer in the room next to the kitchen.

People call me all the fricken time, and have no idea what they want. Is it too hard to ask to have a semblance of a clue prepared before you discuss your obvious problems with someone else?

The worst idiocy is when you put other lives at risk… I was driving home yesterday, about 80 kilometres per hour, and some goose backs out of his driveway, and stays stationary on a main road, and I had absolutely no room to manoeuvre, had his whole family in his mini-van, so it not only would have been me and my brother, it was his whole family he was endangering as well.

How do these people get by day to day? Do you have common interaction with imbeciles? I guess I am lucky, I don’t know exactly what it is about me that make’s me different and much smarter than the general public, I know I am not one to stand out in a crowd of amazingly smart people, its just that the general public is SOOOO stupid, they make me feel incredibly smart.

Peace Out.
