Stupid people A week ago I was thinking about "stupid people". For me it's not the kind of people who doesn't know a lot or who doesn't have any abilities or skills, no. I personally do not consider myself as a really clever one. But. For me stupids are the guys who don't analyze the things they say and, believing in them, try to convince me in a bit brute and too self-confident way. Like, for example, a dancemate of mine who has never ever tried snowboarding in her life was sure that she knows better than I how it is going with snow in March in the mountains of Sochi and 5 minutes before that she was trying to convince me that the price of a subway ticket in the office box and machine differs because her mother had told her so. And it is not the thing that she wasn't right that pisses me off. It is the thing that such people don't even bother to doublecheck the information before they start to push it forward full of pride of themselves

Triana, thank you :) you know, sometimes I even feel a bit jealous of this kind of behavior. As for me, I need to be sure what I'm saying, but it's not always an advantage for me)) if I'm not sure of smth I mention it in a conversation, because it's at least honestly and I don't want to feel ashamed of myself later on. But it makes people not take my words seriously, I think)))....cause almost everyone tends to trust people who are self-assured:)

nice writing! yeah our behaviours tell a lot about ourselves. Not only 'ordinary people', even 'officially intelligent people' can act ridiculously stupid in public. Apparently it would be more than IQ score for people to be able to control their own behaviours.
