People are stupid. No, seriously, people are stupid as in mentally unable of being smart.
I have a friend of mine, John, who has water on the brain. He's had a dozen operations on his brain. Mentally he is frozen in time as if he is sixteen years old. He's medically retired from both the US Post Office and the US Army, functions like a normal adult, but if you talk to him for more than three minutes you discover your talking to a fifty year old teenager.
He drives a big, brand new truck - huge. He drives it like a sports car, stopping short every chance he gets. He's been rear ended four times in three years. He blames these accidents on everyone else saying "Legally they rear ended him". He doesn't understand that when he stops short cars in front of him can't see what's happening in front of him, and they have no idea he's about to stop short. But to him it's not his fault.
He's stupid. He's so stupid and fucked over so many banks that he's no longer allowed to have a debit card. I've never met anyone that can't get a debit card with their bank account.
My point is... Some people function as normal adults when the truth is they are mildly mentally retarded.
