Ever know someone who is completely wrong every time they open their mouth?
Not even just politically, but in general? I started a new job recently (still shitty call center customer support shit, but no tech support and higher pay, so it's all good) and this one lady in my training class is wrong about everything.

EVERYTHING.

The trainer asks a question of the class, she tries to answer and even when the answer is painfully obvious, she is wrong. And during any downtime when we're all just shooting the shit, she'll talk about how awful it is that we can't have peanuts in the center because someone is allergic, and as a grown woman, it's her right to have peanuts (or smoke anywhere she wants, even church if she chooses) and complaining how Canada is a Socialist republic nanny state.

She's just really...dumb. But she has this arrogance as though she is right about everything. Even when the trainer corrects her on something in the material she say "Oh, that's right! I knew that."

It is unbelievably annoying.

1. Tell her to move to San Antonio, Texas
Peanut farms, smoking is allowed most places, and there's no free health care. :D

4. hey they got a nice air base, river walk, a whole bunch of mexicans
and they filmed Cloak and Dagger there. (remember that?!)

I hate San Antonio because they keep trying to steal our water. There's a spring here, and several endangered species live in it; botanical and animal. Without the protection, they would have drained our beautiful springs up long ago.

12. Some of the worst restaurants I've ever experienced on San Antonio's River Walk.
I guess they just rely on tourists wanting to eat bad food along the waterfront and drink a lot. Very disappointing.

16. Indeed; Riverwalk restaurants are crap..but for undiscriminating tourists who drink a lot,
they probably won't notice.

That's the closer I ever got to such an individual.

9. Yes. My ex-brother-in-law.
I don't want to say I hate another human being . . . is loathe a milder word than hate?

I loathe him.

17. Oh man, that one is brutal.
Another gem from my co-worker is that the paper mill that was a major employer back where my family is from got shut down last week, hundreds of people out of jobs (in a town that has 10,000 people, plus a few thousand in the surrounding towns), but that's not a big deal, there are other jobs, she doesn't know why everyone's so upset. Seriously.

18. Sounds like Gin my sil.
My nephew who i love didn't get a scholarship, Gin blamed the mexicans, "They get all the free rides" of course his sat scores weren't high enough, i pointed that out to her so she told me it's because the liberal pad the scores of "the wetbacks". My husband and Gin's brother told her he doesn't want our daughter anywhere near her. He's a good man.:D

19. I work in government. I see that all the time...
In fact, in a meeting earlier this week, we got a presentation from somebody in our dept. who is supposedly an "expert" on making PDF documents "accessible" on the web. Most of her stuff was outright fabrications stirred in with a healthy dose of misinformation.

But I won't even start about my ex-boss. That guy was possible the wrongest individual I ever met. Let's put it this way: he got fired from not one, but TWO government jobs for being completely full of crap. Number one, it's pretty hard to get fired from one job, unless you're grossly incompetent, or breaking the law-- but to get fired from TWO? :crazy:
