Seven Sins: Stupidity
I had to leave the worst possible sin to the end of the working week, since I doubt anyone will come back over the weekend. (People, its sunny, you're not at work, go out and enjoy the summer!)
I can tollerate gluttony, sloth, wrath, lust, greed, any of the seven deadly sins... but I can't stand the worst of the bunch: Stupidity.
You know the ones I'm talking about. They double click on hyperlinks. They smear their fingers on your screen and say "wow, look at that, a flashing banner", or "what does right click do?" They're not contained solely to the technology workplace though. There's the guy who steps off the escalator in front of you and stop deads because his peanut-sized brain can't comprehend that he has to become bipedly mobile once more. So...
Your challenge, should you choose to accept it is to fight back against the stupidity. Educate these people. Be clever, be smart, be funny, be friendly, don't be rude about it, but educate them. Together we can raise the collective IQ and fight ignorance and stupidity...
