WOODY01 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Stood inline today in Radio Shack and the person ahead of me was returning a laptop.The reason was they were unable to get online.The problem they were having is for some reason the laptop they purchased was requiring a password to connect.After some investigation by the Radio Shack employee it was discovered the customer did not have an internet provider and was using their neighbor's. The customer did not understand and accussed Radio Shack fraud because they were sold a computer that required them to pay more to connect to the internet.The reason they got a new laptop was because their old one was unable to connect for the same reason. Which they also blamed Radio Shack for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisSpace Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 So, here's a story from a few years back:In English class we had to write our first poem, we were all pretty bored until...Teacher: Remember, the great thing about poetry is there are no rules to follow. You can do whatever you want!20+ Children: ... ... ... !!!!!!!!!!- 5 minutes later -Teacher: THE SCHOOL RULES STILL APPLY! GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT! EVERYBODY LISTEN TO ME! GET BACK INTO YOUR SEATS! STOP! STOP!It was really fun at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layereddiagram Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 NEVER go into the comments on a video explaining aspects of special relativity. They're full of people who fail to fully understand the concept, find what they percieve as a glaring problem in the theory, and then act smug that they're one of the few people who can see through "the dogmas of modern science".

You WILL lose hope for humanity as you slowly see people who are worrying about their nearby reactor "going critical" (critical means operating stably in nuclear engineering speak) and stating absurd things about nuclear reactors.

Just Jim Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 OK.... I swear this just happened and my head almost exploded.....The local morning news is on, and they're talking about some movie... I don't know what, I'm not a big movie fan, but one of the guys said something to the extent of "He didn't come back from Mars because a storm caused a big rock to fall on him".And the weatherman.... WEATHERMAN.... replied, "That's impossible, there can't be storms, Mars doesn't have an atmosphere."I'll be carrying the resulting facepalm bruise for a week....
