CLEARLY There is no vaccine against stupidity because it's infested my job.

Here are just a few documented cases of pure stupidity that I've witnessed in my telemarketing office (most of this is from the past week alone), Upvote if you enjoy or agree Then maybe come find me and save me from this hell-ay-sious nightmare.

  • Watched my boss (and owner of the business) write out this equation on the white board in the office; 2110+25. She still got it wrong.

-Today I asked everyone in the office if they could tell me who "helen keller" was and the popular answers were "Never heard of her" or they agreed with this guy who said "that old lady from the radio that always talks about sex" ... Only One person (out of 30) knew and all he could tell me was that she was a retarded deaf and mute kid.... and even he got it mostly wrong.

-(One of my coworkers on the phone with a very important client, and being completely serious) "I don't think that I can receive a fax. We're out of green paper, all we have is white." ... "Our fax won't receive your fax without green paper"

-This is how they train people to type in our passwords; "Hold shift and push P, then let go. Now type a. s. s. w. o. r. d. Okay good! Now push shift again. Hold it and push the number sign. (this part usually takes SEVERAL minutes for them to find...) Okay great! Now push 1,2,3,4. and put the arrow on the green button and click it with your finger twice."

  • In response to me reminding everyone in the office to vote yesterday "What's election day for?" "They voting that black muslim out?"

  • Every five minutes someone yells "PRAISE JESUS" at the top of their lungs, says it's their "Divine right that god is blessing them with success" (did I mention that they keep like 40% of all donations they make and spend the money on prescription pills to keep them all gettered out )

  • We play hang man sometimes and I thought (just to be funny) that I'd use Passion of the Christ with the hint "Popular Christian film directed by Mel Gibson" (not to be blunt enough) They never solved it.

  • My boss constantly thinks that the computer system is losing her files but the truth is SHE NEVER SAVES THEM. And I've tried to explain NUMEROUS times how to save them and she just doesn't get it....

  • At least 5 times a day I have to explain how to send an email (and all they have to do is fill a spot for the email and their name and click SEND...)

  • After coming out about my sexuality to my boss (only after she asked me), she now goes around the office ranting about how she just got a phone call where this girl hit on her and she thinks gays are disgusting, but to my face she hits on me... Tell me how that makes sense.

  • My bosses will spend UNGODLY amounts of money ($200 on food at the fair between three of them in one day, spend $500 on a purse) but refuse to admit that they have money and are only "godly people that live in the light of the lord"

  • A man asked me the other day what a multiplication symbol ment.

  • Another boss claims to be really into politics but couldn't pronounce nor tell me what "Bipartisanship" ment.

  • My boss told me the other day that I needed to stop typing so fast because it's distracting and that Copy and Pasting was too time consuming... WTF?

  • My boyfriend was inputting a password as "Christopher" because "Chris" was taken, and the guy came back and said that it was too long for him to type (It was his own name)

  • My cubby buddy was drawing on scratch sheets of paper with a pencil and suddenly screams "OH MY GOD! I'm the smartest person alive!" I looked over and he shoves a piece of paper in my face and screams "Did you know that you can see what you wrote on the piece of paper before if you just scribble on the piece of paper below it?! Why don't they use this on CSI?!"

The saddiest part is I can't find a job anywhere else because NO where else is hiring. I actually have to get high AND get drunk before I go to work just to handle all the STUPID going around. And even high and sloshed off my ass, stumbling around the office I can STILL fire synapses around them. :)
