1. I overheard a woman at work today begin an anecdote with the phrase, "You know, they did some sort of study where...". Oh yeah? They did? People seem to think you can insert whatever they want after that phrase and it will be legit. I say legitimate bullshit - I know how much people F-up numbers in their head, I don't trust it. But you know, they did some sort of study where I'm always right AND my balls are huge. It's true.
2. I've been dealing with a horrible customer who likes to abuse me a lot on the phone. I just found out today that he's not even the owner of the vehicle - his girlfriend is. Thanks a lot asshole.
3. It was some chick's birthday at work and some guy did a really gay cheerleader cheer for her with pom-poms and all. Really gay.
4. Jeff, the great mind with whom I work, was talking about the movie "Snakes On A Plane". He thought that there was some symbolism in the story. His comment was, "...there's probably some symbolisism to the movie, who knows? I mean, what would be the symbology with a name like that?" Fuckin' dumb. Later he also misused the word 'transpose'. The trademark of a stupid person who thinks they are intelligent is that they consistently over-complicate "big words"; they also put them in redundant context. Example: "Well, that would be his peragatory intent." Here the dumbass over-complicates the word 'perogative' thinking they will sound smarter by adding a useless suffix. The meaning of 'perogative' can be loosely associated with the meaning of 'intent', despite the fact they are not the same, a similar concept is conveyed. Therefore bright-guy becomes superfluously repetative in an attempt to overcomplicate the communication. The reason stupid people do this is because when an actual intelligent person communicates with them using "big words" they feel confused and what they are hearing is complicated. Then the stupid person feels that in order to sound smart they too have to communicate in a cryptic and jumbled manner. When in actuality "big words" are meant to simplify communication by being more precise in their definition and anyone with half a brain realizes this.
