Idiots, beware!

Seriously, some days it simply amazes me how stupid people are. How incredibly irreversibly dumb, right down to the bone. Not your typical spaciness or forgetfulness or occasional ignorance- I'm talk D-U-M-B.

Case in point- a phone call at work today from a 30-something female:

"Hi, umm, I am interested in your [product] and need to fax you my information, but I don't have a fax machine- how am I supposed to get it to you??" My response: 1. Kinkos. 2. Snail Mail. 3. Email. I explain we do not have an actual [storefront], so everything is handled via fax/email/P.O. Box.

Her next question: "Ok, but I don't have the sheet to give to you with my information on it- how do I get that?" My response: 1. Email 2. Snail Mail. Again explain that we do not have a [storefront] where she can simply fill this out, so everything is handled via fax/email/P.O. Box.

Her last questions, "Ok, so once I get the sheet in the mail, where can I drop it off?" I explain one last time about the whole fax/mail/email thing, you know, without an actual physical place for her to drop it off at.

Seriously, she then says, "Oh, well I don't have a fax machine, so now what?"

Shut up.
