FQ TOPIC: Stupidity



FQ1: Admit it, sometimes you are not the sharpest tool in the shed. What's something stupid you've done recently? (The FridayQ doesn't count!)  After finding a coveted parking space in the garage (as opposed to outside in the blazing sun), I locked my keys in the car with the engine running!



FQ2: Children do idiotic things all the time because they just can't seem to help it. What's something stupid you did as a kid? I stuck my hand through a chain link fence and then couldn't extract it.



FQ3: Sometimes, being a bit of an idiot is required (or fun!). What's something stupid you will be doing in the future? Dancing and singing at the office. My cubemate B., jazzercizes in the hallway.



FQ OBSERVER: People are morons. Without naming names, what's something stupid you've seen somebody else do? C. is in charge of shipping and receiving at our company. He's always yelling at people about how not to package items.

 

One day, after securely taping a box that weighed 60 lbs., C.  realized that he'd forgotten to place the CEO's sealed envelope in the box.  The CEO's admin aide had come to explain  to C. how imperative it was to include the sealed envelope.

 

He had to cut through his three levels of packing tape, etc. to open, then reseal the box. FedEx came and went without taking the package - it wasn't ready for primetime! Meanwhile, his co-workers encircled and taunted him. He was so mad, the blood vessels in his temple were throbbing!   LOL
