Stupid people

I'm adding a new label to my blog: "Stupid people". I'm going to attach it to posts about people who are......stupid.

Today, evidence of under-thought by some is noted in an NZ Herald story about Aucklanders who drive in the bus-only transit lanes. The fines are $150 per infraction. Some months fines total $80,000.

I suspect it isn't only bus transit lanes that see them exhibit an exaggerated sense of entitlement with respect to the rest of us. I'm sure we'll see some of them pushing in at the supermarket and in pubs and down at the video store. I think the names and photos of these queue-jumpers should be published. Both face and back photos...as you're most likley to see the rear view as they push in front of you.

It would be nice to know who they are, these people who think they are more important than the rest of us.

    I hope I don't go on your "stupid" list truthseeker but I'm looking forward to seeing your new posts about stupidity and ignorance.

    To cut a long story short, BGB was closed before someone started a law suit. It's illegal for me to steal NZPA pictures so I won't be doing that any more.

    But I'll always have photoshop!
