I'm always amazed at how stupid people are sometimes

[hollydolly]

On the neighbourhood app for my area in Spain, someone has asked for a nurse who speaks German to attend to her German mother at home and help her to understand how to take her medication

The reply comes '' we can help.. we can't speak German but we can speak English if that's any good''!

 

[Tish]

Unbelievable!

Holly I read our neighbor app almost daily and I agree with you, the level of stupidity is incredible. Many times I'll read postings and comments and wonder how these people possibly survive in the adult world.

Facebook's bad enough, I don't pay any attention to the goings on on the Ring app, and most def shun any of the "neighborhood" apps completely.

Oh no..I ignore FB by and large but it's important to know what's going on around the neighbourhood....

I see the same...a couple of days ago I was reading someone complaining about a bus driver taking a break at a terminus and smoking outside the bus. he went on and on at great length.. and it was almost impossible to understand what he was talking about it was just ridiculous...thick as mince..

..and what's worse is most of these people will be driving on our roads at the same time as us !

My neighborhood app is good for lost and found pets, suspicious characters and whatever the county has been up to.

Come to court sometime and listen to the defendant’s alibi or alibis, especially when they have a speeding ticket.
Sometimes defendants forget where they are and they will say some words that are not acceptable in court. If they have the wrong judge, you wouldn’t believe what some judges hand down, along with their sentence if they are found guilty.

Sadly, we live in a human world overrun and dominated by relative mental midgets that trained themselves to be so.

This person came into this world like a small twig breaking off a branch of a tree into the vast flooding Mississippi River, and hopelessly floating and bobbing along as it will, eventually waterlogging to sink in its vast waters.

This video showed up in my YouTube feed last night and while watching it, I couldn't help thinking, "man, that guy is stupid."

I feel sorry for anybody who has to work with that guy.

Yes, on the whole it's very useful....locating lost parcels, catching fly-tippers, giving notice of local events. There have been people using drones to check people's yards for bikes etc. Therefore everyone has been warned to tidy things away.

I find the local Nextdoor app to be just about worthless, sad because it could be a wonderful local resource.

I've seen loads of these...all American. I have to say I really admire American police overall.. but they have this happen to them all the time.. people refusing to get out of their car...that just never happens here ..

Apps are far too high tech for here. Unfortunately we lost the 'eyes and ears' of the village when she passed away recently, aged 80. Nothing escaped her attention !

I finally left my neighborhood app. Couldn't stand it anymore. I kept FB, it keeps me in touch with old friends and neices and nephews goings on. Also, I can control what I see on there and I have a block list a mile long. There's a lot about animals I truly love to see and get some good tips.

 

[Gardenlover]

Honestly, what neighbors post in the neighborhood Ring app - I feel they must be joking or just trying to get attention.

I watch YouTube police videos a lot too and it is truly astonishing the ignorance that they deal with daily ...the cost of this ignorance falls to American tax payers.

 

[IrishEyes]

@hollydolly You know it's sad and even sadder that as the years pass I feel myself coming
to actually be surprised if I run into someone who thinks any more.

I understand that completely.... it's very frustrating...

i thank God that we have the forum becuase the real world seems to have gone to pot...

I agree I watch a lot of them, and it's just astounding the way people talk to the police in the USA....especially given the police are armed.

I have never in my life seen people in the UK regardless of how bad or evil they are..speak to the police the way some Americans do.... and our police are not routinely armed... and I've lived Italy, Germany and Spain and taken holidays in many more countries..... and never witnessed it there either.

not to say for one second there are no bad people here or there.. there are just as many as the USA, but overall the people have respect for the police... and that seems to be lacking among so many younger folks in the USA

Maybe they could just watch a few episodes of Hogan’s Heroes to brush up on their German accent.

The First Law of Human Stupidity is how the general population always seriously underestimates the number of stupid people in circulation.

I was watching some police videos last night and looked at one that turned out to be about some guy who was under investigation for downloading child porn. Bleh. So I turned that one off and then another one was even more disturbing and left me feeling unnerved for almost an hour afterwards. I need to stop watching them. I'll have to find out how to get YouTube to stop added them to my video feed.

There are some really sick people in the world, and I don't need these YouTube videos to remind me of that; all I need to do is read the news. I feel for the cops who have to deal with them as part of their jobs, though.
