Diner Idiot
While I was having dinner tonight at the local diner, I had the pleasure of sitting behind a group of four people that who are either in a community college philosophy course, a cult, or a self-help group. Whatever the scenario, the group “discussion” was being led by a 20-something deadbeat with an iPad (a white one, too). I’m not sure what he does for a living, because he “doesn’t put labels on himself,” but I was able to – for free – glean these gems of wisdom over the course of my meal:
- You only have to smile for a micro-minute for someone to know you smiled.
- Communication is only abstract so much as it is scientific.
- WordPress is computer code that makes websites.
- When criticizing someone, leave a long pause afterwards in order to impart the value of revelation.
- The field of Graphic Designs is evolving.
- Communication Skills dictate that you explain your thesis for 5-10 minutes.
Seriously, this was like reading spambot comments aloud for an hour. I hope these four people aren’t the voting kind, because this just shattered my faith in humanity.
You had me convinced at “white iPad.” In fact, had this been the first two words of your article, it could’ve been much shorter and supported your argument entirely.
