Do you know anyone who is SCARY stupid?

[HollowBassman]

Have you ever met anyone whose stupidity made you uncomfortable, or made you fear for your safety/life?
(examples: someone who thinks it's funny to point a pellet gun at your face; someone who drives recklessly when upset; etc.)


If so, please post the story here.

Ruh roh! let's not get political now.

But yeah, Hillary is way more dangerous.

[HollowBassman]

Help! Someone call 911! They're trying to kill my thread!

please don't actually call 911 ...unless, of course, you want your story told here.

[SpankyPants]

.....What? I was talking about Hillary Swank in Million Dollar Baby.



She packs one hell of a punch. Dangerous, some might say.

Known lots of dumb guys. One stands out.

When I was in the army my squad was out on patrol one night and started taking R.P.G. fire from an overpass we just drove by. The guy in charge of the last truck (the only one with a clear view of what was happening) radioed me and proceeded to calmly tell me that he saw some guys throwing I.E.D.s at us. This was at night, so logically when he saw the bright trail of these things shooting at him at hundreds of miles an hour from about 100 yards away he assumed it was a couple of guys just standing up there lobing 50 pound artillery shells with cell phone triggers at us by hand.

If that wasn't bad enough, after we had dealt with the situation and were collecting up the left-over weapons, he saw the R.P.G. launchers (no R.P.G.s in them because they had already been used) on the ground and said something to the effect that he was happy they didn't have rounds for those to fire at us.

Never thought he was dumb enough to kill me, but I definitely thought he would end up getting me killed.

Wow.
That's exactly the kind of story I was hoping for.

Never met someone life threateningly stupid, but I once had an American chick on my MSN ask me what month it was in Australia.

Over the years, working in manufacturing I met quite a few. Playing chicken on forklifts, making oxy/acetyline bombs, playing potentially lethal practical jokes. I could go on and on The worst cases was seeing REALLY dumb people being talked into doing REALLY dumb things by people just slightly smarter than they were.............and getting fired and or arrested for it

[Darkstrike]

I remeber one guy trying to start a chainsaw by standing on the engine with both feet and yanking the choke as hard as he could. Lucky he was dumb enough to not turn it on first.

Actually that sounds like a lot of fun!

Not dangerous, but I once heard this blond chick tell her friend that her shirt was made in a country called "Polyester."


She was quite proud of it, too.

They can't hurt me, but the population of my "Ignore List" here on TB is indeed scary stupid.

I have a few on my ignore list as well. I'm amazed that some people are so freaking stupid but still have internet access

some lady called me at the music store the other day and was asking me about guitar strings. I ask her what kind of guitar it is and she responds "its an acoustical guitar"

I don't think that qualifies as scary stupid.
