stupid

Craftsmanship and taste are two different things, and sometimes one gets the better of the other. Sure, you can make high quality shoes out of teeth, but you should also be asking yourself if anyone wants to look at them. It's very possible to make a thing that's impressive but also of highly questionable taste.

The world has its unfair share of entitled people with demanding boldness. In this case it's a parent who hit up an artist who makes art for the public, just so they could demand special treatment for their kid. It's unclear what kind of reasoning leads someone down the path of thinking this is a normal request, but wow.

Just about every workplace has a special rule that exists just because of something one person did. From warning labels to work policies, every strange rule started off as a unique and horrible adventure. Human stupidity is the only resource it's impossible to run out of, so there's a rich deposit of things that exist just because people are dumb.

Jobs can be tedious and time consuming, and they can require a lot of annoying decision-making. When we decide to say "whatever, good enough" we leave ourselves open to creating some impressively unprofessional "not my job" moments. This world has a whole lot of stairs and doorways to nowhere.

There's a lot of good advice in the form of life pro tips, and that just means that there's gonna be a whole lot more hilariously dumb and bad advice. Whether it's incorrect, dangerous or straight up dumb, there's a lot of bad life tips with zero shame. So if you like being eaten by wild animals and alienating everyone around you, go for it.

If there's one thing that makes us feel less stupid than we actually are, it's our ability to be technically accurate. Sure, being technically correct about something doesn't make us any smarter, but it helps us further avoid the fact that we know way less than we think. Man is that comforting, just kicking your own stupid-can down the road.

There's no solution more compelling than those lazy "it's not stupid if it works" moments, even if they're technically against the rules. A low budget or DIY solution might make a judge mad, but you can't say that your solution wasn't effective. For another story of a stroke of lazy genius, here's a guy who needed a permit to build a garage so he just bought a van.

Be they a silver tongued devil, one such merry prankster, or perchance a chaotic force of shenaniganry, these mad lads don't give a dang. Does the world need more humorous chaos? Maybe? Though sometimes those on the receiving end of a mad lad's prankery might not feel the same way.

Sometimes, nothing hits the spot like a bundle of puns to fill that wordplay hole. Other times, puns are so unwelcome that they make people feel physically uncomfortable. Wordplay is a bit of a crap shoot, and you can't know what you're getting into with dumb and clever puns to feel stupid about.

Clearly these people are very confused. It's Tumblr threads like these that remind us there are poor lost souls wandering this world in dire need of an instruction manual for daily life, to avoid sure destruction.

For most of us, it would seem like having a lot of money would be easy. As long as you don't spend it all on chocolate fountains and solid gold cars, you'll be fine. But for some reason, some people have a really hard time stopping themselves from making extremely ill advised investments. Whatever the bad decision, financial professionals have to hear about all of this disappointing behavior. For some other money shenanigans, here's wealthy people being extremely out of touch.

There's no reward without a little risk, but sometimes we take huge risks for to prospect of no actual reward. Understandably, there are a lot of stupid ways people injure themselves. Sometimes people get caught up doing a dumb thing, and other times it's total chance, like biting into a particularly sharp waffle. Come to think of it, there aren't a whole lot of smart ways people injure themselves.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most mindless things that people have ever witnessed out in the world. The thread was inspired by the late George Carlin's infamous quote about how when you meet someone seemingly stupid, there's also another person out there that's going to be twice as dumb as they are. Just considering that, it's no wonder that the kinds of occurrences in this thread are taking place in the world. 

In this busy world of ours, it's easy for things to slip through the cracks. Maybe a pole gets installed wrong here, or some road signage gets misspelled there. Many of us would look at these and say "we better fix that" but another great many of us say "good enough." The resulting impressively unprofessional "Not My Job" moments are indeed good enough, but in a different kind of way.
