To All The Dumb People

Today at work, I was so bloody exasperated with all the dumb movie-goers.

Plus it didn't help that we were under-staffed and overworked. Needless to say, everything started to go haywire. I managed to pull some time out to recharge myself and all was well again.

So back to the dumb movie-goers.

When there's no one at the counter, why the freaking hell would you stand there waiting for something to happen?! The two counters at the snackbar are side by side. One cashier in use, the other on standby. We were standing on the side of the first counter. Very obvious that the other counter was not open for service.

However, dumb people are apparently ignorant to the fact and try to be smart-alecks by queueing at the empty counter. Then they wait for something to happen. At first, we were, well, I was, still pretty polite and told them that there wasn't any queue there. Then, it seemed as though the dumb-asses were increasing exponentially. So I couldn't take it anymore.

Whenever one of these dumbos come along the empty counter with that smug look, I'll raise my hand, speak rather loudly, sound cheerful to say, "Excuse me, the queue is here, there's nobody there," All rather sarcastically.

At least it's the truth. There really isn't anyone to serve you even if you stand there for a decade. Well, I'm glad that it only took my reminder to make these dumbos realise that there's really only one queue.

The cinema halls are not equipped with washrooms. Patrons have to leave the cinema premises to go to the washroom. When the cinema halls close, we 'cordone' off the foyer from the cinema halls. When dumb patrons who need the toilet rush out from the cinema hall, they become bewildered!

They find themselves stranded. The thing that stands between them and the foyer is a connection of cue poles. You know, those kind that's got ribbons that roll out from the top of the cue pole. So these dumb-asses become frantic when all they have to do is manually disconnect the ribbon from the other cue pole. Don't they exercise common sense?!?!

Dumb people drive me insane.

But without dumb people, it wouldn't contrast how smart you are.
