I have discovered I generally don’t like people. Well that’s what I keep telling myself in my head so I suppose it must be true. 1

Actually I don’t thinks it’s because I don’t like people I think it’s because I generally find people very stupid and irritating. Now I don’t entirely know what they are more stupid in comparison to but generally I find most people are far more stupid than I. And quite frankly that’s saying a lot. I’m not saying that I am a hick who couldn’t add up the number of fingers and toes they have within using a calculator and a pen but I’m not a brain surgeon either. That being said I have noticed there are a lot more stupid people 2

out there than myself. And the really disturbing thing is those particularly stupid people tend to be the ones getting rich and running things as opposed to the mindless lemmings jumping off cliffs at the instruction of these idiots. However I could simply be finding them stupid because they all talk their own language of buzz words that only equally as stupid and rich people can understand.3

The best example of stupid people would have to happen when you are using some form of public transport. Stupid people should not be allowed in public places but especially not on an inescapable bus or train carriage and ESPECIALLY not with a mobile phone. Generally you can pick the stupid ones, they are aged between 13- 45 and come in two distinct categories; the stupid young girly twat and the slightly older male yuppie twat. And you can see both categories coming a mile away, the yuppie twats hope on the train with a brief case, which is likely filled with nothing more than a banana and a week old newspaper, and a flashy suit (even though he most probable works as a call centre operator for some Telco) and the girly twats get on with massive sunnies that cover half their face, tits hanging out, stilettos higher than any human being should naturally be perched upon and a skirt up to their ass.4

The horrible thing is by this point you realise that you are trapped on the train with these twats and you sit there are pray that it doesn’t get any worse; you pray their phone doesn’t ring!5

Then it happens, you hear the piercing sound of Britney it all its real tone glory belt down the carriage and you know without even looking that it belongs to the bimbo twat (bimbo yuppie twats are my personal favourites, the only thing missing is their tiara which you want to ram down their throats). And this is the point where we start to hear their life story. Guess what Princess we don’t care nor is it a thing you should be particularly proud of. A funny thing tends to happen when people talk on their mobiles on public transport; they forget that the microphone is right next to their mouth and it really isn’t necessary TO YELL AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS DOWN THE PHONE! So loud in fact that you need to turn your iPod up to full belt to drown them out and even then you can still hear them drone on. 6

Now what makes them stupid is the shit that they talk about. I mean some people have either no sense of dignity or no sense what so ever. You hear people talk about everything on their mobile phones on a train as if no one else around them can hear what their saying. The other day I was catching the train and this girl starts abusing the shit out of her boyfriend over the phone, in detail. After a ten minute conversation I knew about everything from his lack of commitment to his lack of prowess in bed. I don’t know and I don’t care! Really do not give a shit so please keep it to yourself.7

I think that’s what makes people more stupid and more irritating now days. It’s because nothing is private anymore and people think that other people give a shit about their lives. When we clearly do not! We do not care who did what to which party at what beach in Tijuana or how drunk you were at the time. In fact I don’t think anyone except for the seedy man with his hands down his pants in the corner of the train carriage would care about your sordid private life. But that’s the joy of making technology mobile, takes things out of the private realm and into the public. From mobiles, to facebook, to blogs there is always an avenue to talk crap and for someone equally as stupid to maybe listen. Then again these things need stupid people to speak and even more stupid people to listen. 8

But we would never stoop to that level... now would we?9
