HUMOUR THREAD - God the stupidity.

We have the minister for Tourism in the Northern Territory in my store at the moment talking about this "Brand New Technology" The Internet. Talking about how the NT is the first australian state on the internet, and is using the lonely planet to get tourists into australia.

This is worse than the "Internet is Tubes" idea.

They caught a guy selling drugs in my country's Congress. 2 feet away from the cops, and under the surveillance of the cameras. Apparently, he was doing it for years until a spycam caught him.

Beat that. :)

We had a stupid moron go to a country with a bag full of weed knowing that if caught she'd be liable for the death penalty. Her family had been taking drugs there for years.

She told customs "I think there's drugs in there"

Spent over an hour on the phone today to communicate 3 very simple things:
1. Go to a hotel, save the receipt
2. I'll see you tomorrow morning at 10
3. The vendor will call you

Just couldn't get it. At first I was thinking it was that they were not native english speakers. So I called back through an interpretation service. Another 45 minutes later, still not getting it "Go to a hotel, I'll come in the morning at 1-, the vendor will call you" - a 3-5 minute conversation in most cases - lasted over 45. Interpreter was screaming at her for being so stupid.

I hang up the phone. 1.5 hours later, the lady calls back and asks what time I'm coming.

Wanted to bash phone down and scream "FFS" but I need a "paycheck" so I "acted like an adult".

I once recieved a trouble ticket from the help desk that read "My T1 has a slow leak." when I stopped laughing so hard I couldn't breath I read the ticket out loud. One of my quick witted coworkers responded, "Hurry call her and tell her to throw a bit bucket under it to catch all the leaking one's and zero's and we will be there as soon as we can."

I'm a mall security guard.... oh, the stories i could tell you. I can't even begin to count the ways people continually prove to me on a daily basis how retarded they are. Coworkers included ;)

Santana -- What, you're not going to share any stories? What a tease!
