What is some of the stupidest things people do?

Post by brothersinarm »

Well today I just read about a guy trying to sell his family online at ebay I think. This definitely tops the cake in my book of crazy things people do. Well...the straping on wings and throwing one self off a cliff is rather crazy too. I know I shouldn't find any of this funny. I mean he was selling his family to make money right? and throwing oneself off a cliff was all for science. So why do I find this funny??? I hope I'm not evil :twisted:

well, using bad grammar is one stupid thing people do, like using "is" when "are" is supposed to be used, ie: :what are some of the stupidest things people do?

Using a singular verb in a thread title when a plural one should be used :lol:.

Anyways, German military technology research comes to mind... They've designed tons of insane stuff, see that thread about German tanks in this forum.

I remember hearing one Darwin award about that skydiving instructor who strapped a camcorder to his helmet. He was so absorbed in preparing his camera that he forgot to put on his chute before jumping. The camera caught all but the last ten feet of the fall. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The one thing in all of grammar I absolutely refuse to touch. I never know when to use "its" or "it's".

It's means it is. Its is possessive. Just remember, for the word it, contrary to popular belief, the apostrophe does not indicate possessive.

Spamming for the sole purpose of spamming. That is stupid beyond all reason, although being B&B is even worse.

This is merely a discussion of quirky things people do. But fine shut it down. But no need to insult my grammar. What happened to gentlemans and ladies?

Back on topic, my stepmom's refusal to use this handy little device we have in our house know as a "dryer". It appears to be some arcane mechanism which dries your clothes! Without having to hang them on clothes lines outside! *gasp!* :shock:

Eh, I know people who like the outdoor smell.

The stupidest thing I've seen people do is go back to the partner who tries to kill them.

I know this because I have a friend, who's girlfriend tried to kill him on New Year's Eve and the next week he's back with her...saying he owes her as much.

Dryers can make your clothes shrink. They aren't always a good thing.

Please stop messing with me! :) Well at least I know your attack are harmless fun. But mind you, I can't tell the difference very easily because I can't see people's facial features as I would when they are talking directly to me. Therefore I might mistake a poke for a punch? Does that make sense? And no more grammar correcting. I usually don't make gramma mistake, just when I'm tired like now. Between work and going back to university I'm just so beat! So now that you know beating me to death on gramma is bad sport. Its like attacking a helpless, giant panda!

People call tech support to ask a dumb question. A lot of people do that.

Others have sex with animals, or inatimate objects IN PUBLIC. I don't know how anyone could be turned on by an animal.

Then, there are those really dumb criminals.

What's sick, the actual wanking or the measurements of ejaculation distance afterwards? It's a man thing. :D
