    Fools from your past?

    yep its a parrotty thread

    list the most stupid people you had to work with.

    The salesman that sealed the deal on the bonnet of his car. Then we had to get a sign off from his disgruntled lover. Bazzer yer bar steward.

    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      Reverse is probably true too. If you've only ever worked with idiots...

      Either that or you've been gainfully employed by MF, gift-wrapping over-priced pap to sell on amazon.

            Some people like to work surrounded by idiots, some people like to work surrounded by people who are at least as good as they are. Do you want to live in the cheapest house on an expensive street or vice versa and all that.

            I've been fortunate either to end up in places without idiots, or to avoid getting to know my colleagues well enough to tell

                Guy sat next to me lost $60K in a day trading internet IPOs. He was a permie not a contractor and that was around a years salary for him.
                Bought 2000 shares of this IPO with a market order and it crashed down 30 dollars per share on the opening day of trading.

                    YOLO. What if the share price had gone up 5x, then you would have been the idiot for not doing the same.
