How thick are some people?

Honestly, what's the point of this? Are you seriously questioning the very well established and accepted link between age and brexit vote?

Statista not the most reliable source of data
Govenment stats?
Perr-reviewed, published paper?

Oh come on! Everyone knows age was a big factor in voting Leave/Remain, likewise for voting Tory.

That is actually rather frightening...

People are very thick. I asked the window cleaner to come. I clearly said any day except Wednesday. He texted yesterday..Are you home on Wednesday? Fuck sake.

People don't read signs. Doesn't matter how big and clear you make it, some people just can't handle that something has changed and they need to pay attention.

Some years ago where I live there was some major road restructuring and a bus lane was moved. There was a lot of signage put up warning people about the changes when it all re-opened. The local council had a grace period of a few months so that when people got caught driving in the bus lane they'd just get a warning. There was a great news article about how the numbers of people getting caught wasn't dropping as so many people just drove the way they always had.
It was really stupid. Ok it's not a route I used very often but the lane designations were REALLY clear. It was easier to get through after the changes too, which was a nice surprise. And yet I suspect the council still makes quite a bit of money from people who can't understand that the road has changed.

Agree with this.

I had written an instruction on the office noticeboard, in the handover log, and typed it up separately and left on the desk, and I still got a phone call at 3am from my colleague asking me what to do...

Intelligence, wisdom and common sense are three entirely different things.

It's quite common for highly intelligent people to have zero common sense, particularly professionals, in my opinion, such as dentists and doctors, solicitors, etc. They may be brilliant at their profession, but havn't a clue how to do the normal things in life (nor are they interested in the normal things in life).

My neighbour is a newly retired hospital consultant. He can't even manage to put the right bins out on bin day. He'll put his green bin out when everyone else has their black ones out - he just doesn't look at the others - he's in his own World. Same with parking his car - sometimes on the pavement, sometimes 3/4 feet away from the kerb, sometimes half on half off his drive blocking the pavement - no rhyme nor reason. Having a conversation with him is "interesting" as he has no concept of modern affairs, clearly doesn't read newspapers nor watch the news - just seems to read books/journals all day. He can be in and out of the house several times a day - a typical day could be driving to the shop to buy milk, then an hour later he'll drive out for 10 minutes and come back with something else, and so it goes on - he seems to just go out when he realises he's run out of something and doesn't seem capable of writing a list and getting several things at once! And no, it's not because he's retired and older - we've been neighbours for 27 years and he was the same when he was in his prime! A highly intelligence man, but no common sense and no real life skills at all!

If you have a pond, and then fill it it, frogs still come to it even though it is no longer there.

So I think these people must be a bit like frogs 🐸.
Yes, that'll be it - frogs in a former life.

Is it Stairfoot? And if so do I win a prize?

I've got a couple.

I'm in Wolverhampton. In the summer there are regular coach trips to various places including Alton Towers.

It's actually cheaper to go on the coach than pay the normal entry fee. Something like £20 on the bus or £30 for just the ticket.

A neighbour's adult daughter wanted to take her children to Alton Towers. But she would not go on the coach because then she couldn't use her railcard.

I could not explain to her that she was wasting money.

I work in a retail shop. We closed our customer services and now everything is done at the tills 10ft from the previous Cs counter...
We have signs on the old CS counter telling the customers to take refunds to the tills and the amount of customers day in day out that just stand at this empty counter, which has now been empty for at least 2 years... They stand reading the sign that says "take all refunds to the tills" and argue with us and even when we point out there is no tills at this counter it's like we are stopping them from having a refund.

We put stock in front of the counter at one point and customers would try and move it out of the way to get to the counter 😂

My store manager always said to me.. No one reads ANYTHING!! Including staff. We can put signs up informing staff of things and guaranteed numerous people will complain they haven't seen what we have put up.

DD works in a McDonald's, also off a roundabout. Same thing happens there - when very obviously shut for refurb or on Christmas Day or if there's been a power cut etc. People actually get out of their cars to move the cones so they can drive in 🤦

Thanks

Dumbest thing I heard from a brexit voter was that we should be able to vote in EU elections because what they do affectsus so much.

I think I live in the same town. I don't think it could be much clearer that it is closed.

Did I tell you I have a scratch I can't itch?

That's not fucking food - just death and chemicals.

Depends where you are in England. I live in Leicestershire and we break ip
on the 9th July.

Tal y Bont caravan park? Spend half the week trying to find the one shop that sold Wrights Pies 😂

Big, massive push sign on the door, many still pulled

This is a Gary Larsen cartoon. And I got it wrong about 50% of the time I walked into the Bodleian, whose doors are similarly labelled, when I was an Oxford student. Not stupid, got a Double First, but can't tell left from right.

I used to be a police officer, if there had been an RTC I'd often have to close off the road at the preceding roundabout. I'd park my police car across the junction with the lights on and put cones out as well as stand there waving cars to keep going.
The amount of people that would stop, wind the window down and ask 'is the road closed?'
God I had to bite my tongue.
