Ignorance is a complex, yet amazing, thing. Call it the psychologist in me, but people these days have left me dumbfounded. More importantly, it would have to be the stupid people. It could just be the weather, but I don’t get it. Big, muscle man Joe Blow crossing the street, not in the crosswalk mind you, giving me the stare of impending doom as I drive the posted twenty-fives miles an hour towards him. Every step he takes, he walks slower, staring at me the whole time. A girl flipping me off as she walks through the crosswalk while the sign in front of her clearly displays “do not walk,” the whole time on her cell phone. Of course people walking in a crosswalk get the right of way, but I’m not the only car that nearly hit her.
Seriously, where do these people get off? This is just a sample of the frustration, but the rest of it is your garden variety mix of stupid people doing stupid things. That doesn’t stop me from wondering what the heck is going on inside their head. Granted that you couldn’t really do a study on why people become simply inept, but these thoughts help me to understand why it is that I sought a degree in neuropsychology. All I want to do is work in radio. Odd.
