Originally posted by DanaScully I discovered today that the general public sucks at following basic directions......when you tell them to push the green button before they slide their credit card, they either slide the card first and wonder why it's not going through.....or as you.....which green button.......even though there is only ONE green button. Tell me about it!! People are stupid. I used to work as a security guard in the Metropolitan museum of Art. The dumbest question i was asked (which I was asked more than once) while standing at the bottom of a flight of stairs : 'Do these stairs go up?' ??????! Sorry to keep this thread going...
