I tend to blow my top if people do not use their common sense. I try to understand them but I really can't keep on doing this for long.

think of it as their handicap. now it wouldn't feel right yelling at or beating up a retarded person, now would it? they're just extremely mentally challenged. it's annoying as hell to be surrounded by idiots, but ... watch out... they're EVERYWHERE

What is common sense and obvious to you may not be to others so treat everyone as stupid or non-thinking people all the time and remember while you are considering what others are doing you may very well do something quite silly yourself.

Taking a deep breathe and looking up at the ceiling seems to assist,..otherwise that ol' favorite of counting to 10 or saying the
serenity prayer are big helpers. Enjoy and good luck!

You better get used to it because they are not going away! Just try to see the humor in it and laugh it off. It's frustrating I must admit but I cope much better now when I try to see the funny side of people being dumb ***. Seeing as we are all a dumb *** from time to time you just have to let it go.

What goes around comes around.
You sound like my ex-boss and her assistant. They both were the dumbest people I have dealt with but they thought that they were the only smart people in the world. They would get mad at everyone and blame everyone for their stupidity.

Don't let yourself become emotionally involved with them. Some people just like to bait others, so learn to turn a deaf ear to stupid.

When you have a conversation with these people make them feel stupid or just repeat something they have said.Then they should realize their on ignorance. If not tell to seek professional help.

open your mind to differing points of view ... some people just have many beliefs on faith or misinformation ... you wont change the faithful, but you can educate the misinformed ... do your homework and have qualified references to back up your statements (not Al Gore)
by listening to their point of view, you get some insight as to where they got off track in their thinking processes
or, stop hanging out with idiots ... no?

...i just keep telling myself that they are not stupid just ignorant...that's absence of the facts and not a put-down.....and call on the BIG" C" for COMPASSION....who knows why they act like that.....they're just not thinking ...when you see them through the eyes of compassion you will instantly feel good and yummy inside and see them in a different light...

There is nothing wrong with getting angry at a idiot but the thing is they just doesnt get it even if you point a gun at their head so dont waste your energy.
