Straw paper stuffer

So, I've been thinking. . .I know, stop it. . .that people are really stupid. I mean really really really stupid. I am consistently amazed at how long I have lasted in the field of customer service. I really have no tolerance for people who have their heads stuck in their own rear ends.

During our most recent tropical storm, Edouard, the true idiots came out to play. Our little corner of the state didn't recieve nearly a fraction of the impending doom that the media predicted (that's another rant for another time). All of the Houston-area, with the exception of our little municipality, was shut down. Nothing was open or operating. However, we still recieved calls from people in the height of the storm wondering if their garbage would be picked up. Uh. . .yeah.

That wasn't even the best part of the day! There is a drive through window in our office for payments. A woman drove through and asked me if I could locate the trash trucks for her because she had her garbage in the back of her car and she wanted to take it to them. I mean, seriously, what is wrong with people?

It would be great if someone could explain to me why the general population is so self-involved to be so oblivious to common sense (of which I have very little making the situation so much sadder). Since I don't see that happening anytime soon I guess I'll have to settle for the general public crazies or find a new job like stuffing straws into their wrappers. That would be great.
