What are some braindead things you see people do that make you just shake your head and roll your eyes?

Example:

It's 12 degrees outside right now, the snow is coming down so hard, you can barely see 50 yards in front of you, and the wind is blowing. I had no choice but to go to the convenience store because I needed milk. As I was carefully driving down one of the busiest roads in the state, there was some young putz walking along the sidewalk....wearing shorts and a t-shirt. And tennis shoes.

Shortly after I got to the store, here comes the idiot. He walked into the store shivering.

I couldn't help myself. I said, "Y'know, there's a great new invention called a coat. You should really check into it. There's also these great new things called pants, and boots."

He just looked at me like a monkey doing a math problem.

Dork.

I also like the (what I call) "myspace" photos. You know, the people who stand in front of a mirror (generally, but not limited to, their bathroom)and take a picture of their reflection. Let's also not forget about those with the outstretched arm obviously holding a camera to take a picture of themselves.

Two words: timer function!

I so agree.
I also have to laugh at the Polar Bear club up here. When I lived up north they would be breaking Ice in the lakes, or ports.. strip down to jump in I am sorry but that is damn cold. I have no desire to put this body through something like that.

I have seen people up here take off in their car for a 6 hour trip in the dead of winter-30 with no cold weather gear.

blushing Uh oh, I am guilty of that. I lived alone, and too blonde to figure out the timer function on my camera so I stood on my toilet and took a picture in my bathroom mirror. blushing

I was considering doing something braindead-edly stupid on account of my (now ex-)wife's infidelity. I decided that they are not worth the chance however slim of jail time.

Or ordering breakfast from McDonalds at 10:25am. It throws them into a panic. HELLO!!!! According to your sign out front You have served BILLIONS AND BILLIONS. I know my little ole bagel can't be that difficult! grumble

Or when I walk in a service station and the clerk says "Did you get gas?" Well Do I LOOK LIKE I JUST FARTED!!!! :angry:

Or the grocery store clerk that says "How are you today" You can reply "I just backed over my dog and pulled forward and hit my grandmother" and they will say "Great, will that be all for you?"

People with bumper stickers telling me how terrific their kid is. I don't give a rats ass! My bumper sticker says "My kid sold drugs to your honor student"

Or a cop that says "So where you heading today" NO WHERE, YOU PULLED ME OVER REMEMBER

The waitress that says "Hi my name is Linda and I'll be your server today" Hey lady I don't care what your name is just bring me my food!

and then there me

I rake my leaves almost every weekend. FOR WHAT!!! They are still falling!

Me and a buddy was riding around one night and he wanted to stop and visit his blind grandmother. She answered the door and we walked into a completely dark house. I said why is it so dark in here? I figured out real fast that she didn't need lights blushing

Or when I do something really stupid I log on mingle and share it with hundreds of people!

We had a huge ice storm last winter and it knocked out the power to our whole town, was brief but still. My neighbor came over, knocked on my door and she asked me if I was without power.I said 'yes everyone is out of power'. She asked me why, I said to her 'did you happen to see the inch of ice on the power lines,that surely could be the reason'. She looked at my like I had 10 heads or something.
whoa spock
