Americans are retarded. (non-political)

[darthtang aw]

There I said it and I include myself in this.
Sitting in a chinese restaurant eating.
I am using chopsticks.
I look around, everyone else is using chopsticks as well.
With a few exceptions.
Those exceptions?
The chinese people eating there.
So I stop and think.
They are probably thinking in there heads. Stupid americans have forks and spoons and yet they want to eat with 2 sticks instead. Cramp up their hands and grab smaller portions of the rice and vegetables.
How retarded are we that we think it is cool or makes us culturally a bit more refined to eat with 2 sticks....

 

[darthtang aw]

and naturally I finished my meal using the chopsticks......

 

[el guapo]

You hit the nail on the head

 

[renogaw]

Yesterday i was in a rush going through the local big y.
I had 2 gallons of milk, a container of grape tomatoes, and a cucumber.
the woman in front of me had 7 of each cannister and single serve boxes of crystal light.
the single serve boxes were on sale for $4 each, limit 5. normal price of 4.79, and the cannisters were 4.79 each not on sale.
the woman had 7 coupons, buy one single serve box, get a cannister for free.
after all is said and done, the sale comes up to 25.63. this confuses the woman, who can't understand why two of the boxes rang up at 4.79 to which she was told there is a limit of 5 per transaction.
so i'm thinking in my head, well, its 1.59 just move on. but NO, the woman has them cancel out the sale and rering it with 5 on one ($20) and 2 ($8) on the other.
after holding up the line for all this, she apologized.
I told her it was making me upset until i realized she just paid the store MORE money than the original sale. got my milk, tomatoes, cucumbers, and walked out.
stupid idiot.

I seem to remember that the Chinese invented the fork.

No, I think that they just mass produce it for us. Its great, it comes with lead as well.

 

[tx reef]

You said retarded..I can't believe you used that word...oh my God you are so insensitive...I have a cousin that is.......

 

[pontius]

when I get Japanese, I always use chopsticks. they make me eat slower.
this thread makes me think of a conversation from Season 1 of "The Sopranos"........
AJ: "I heard the Chinese invented spaghetti."
Tony: "Tink about it...why would people who eat with sticks invent someting that you need a fork to eat?"
the conversation was related of course to how Italians invented everything on earth.

I can top all of ya'll with what I saw today!!
I'm sitting on the beach with my 2 kids when I see a guy.
He had longish blond hair, balding on top...hulk hogan like.
He had on a 2 piece string thong bikini, it was white and he had a nice tan, I'll give him...er...them...that.
The top was full of what a bikini top is normally full of, and the bottom part was packed with the reason men don't wear speedos anymore!!
Strutting down the beach like he owned it.
I saw a wake of intrigue as he passed people. Quiet, disbelief, stunned!
I laughed my butt off and had to call everybody I knew!
Thanks to Nip/Tuck I know what a pre-op tranny is, but I never thought I would see one advertising!!

This thread is so gonna get locked isn't it?

The boys were "enjoying the freedom" shall we say? I don't watch that show, and am trying to picture, yet not picture, what you are describing.

for future reference, this is called a "skullet".
Skullet: (n) a mullet for people who are bald on top and can therefore not grow mullets in the classic tradition of Wild Bill Hickock and Billy Ray Cyrus. Derived from the terms "mullet" and "skull", it is achieved by having a clean bald scalp on top and growing the hair on the back of the head as long as desired. in Professional Mullet competitions, extra "style points" are given if the hair is curly or permed.

 

[tizzo]

OMG a skullet!! One more thing this person had, lol

OMG, my daughter who is ten was on a field trip to st augustine a few weeks ago and was telling me about a man in a pink bikini on the beach. Her and her friends freaked out.

 

[reefkprz]

Some say it was the Chinese, some the Persians, the Serbs have a claim and also the French as their King Henry III allegedly invented the fork to save his lace collar from staining.
I do know one thing I eat almost all of it with a fork except sushi, or korean foods (my stepmother was korean and we didnt have any forks except for cooking, none on the dinner table, whooo damn not allowed

needless to say I can eat with chopsticks quite efficiently, not much of one for kimche though.)

 

[tizzo]

Kimche!! I haven't heard about THAT in a while! I like it.

And yes, I know how it's made, lol...
I hafta eat sushi with chopsticks too, a fork pushes the nori and squishes it.

 

[triga22]

If you go to Orlando and to Universal, go rent a locker there are a lot of "retarded" people who try to use them. I wont even go there... Well unless you ask.

 

[niskyvaulter]

has this ever happened to you?
you go to a local convenience store to buy something. most of the eployees are either stupid highschoolers or stupid adults who were stupid highschoolers. lets say your purchase comes to $7.52. you give them a $10 and $.52 cents. they stare at you and give you the $.52 back. they then enter in $10 minus $7.52.
btw, did anybody else here know that mcdonalds doesnt even have numbers on their cashregisters. they just have pictures of the menu items and buttons with small, medium, and large. i just learned this today b/c i dont go there.

 

[tizzo]

Yeah, I get that change thing too... LOL!
I gotta look at a register next time. It wasn't always like that. WAYYYY back in the day when I worked there it was words and numbers.
I hate that grocery stores went from entering the price/ grocery or perishable or whatever to the scanning. That scanner takes longer than most cashiers.
