Topic: The official how stupid are we as a species thread

[marvel_moviefan_2012]

Post your idiotic goofs for the whole world to know we all do totally stupid things.


Mine is typical of the kind of guy I am. My issue is with Netflix all I want is for the My List to be easily accessible so I know where it is. I want to open my PS4 Netflix app sign into my profile and there is mylist organized by title manually by me so I can get to my show right away, is that too much to ask. Why is this an issue? Because time is scarce and it saves time. So what do I do when I log in and notice My List has dropped down a few rows? Do I spend oh maybe 2 minutes of my day pressing down on the joystick as I look for the missing row? Now of course not that would be the sane, rational thing to do. As we all know those two words don't fit my personality one but. Nope I become how can I put it, frustrated that the list I want is missing and I have to spend *my* time looking for it. So what do I do, I actually waste an hour and a fucking half on the phone with Netflix customer support bitching about something that would have taken me 2 minutes to resolve on my own.

yeah so turns out I can be a total ass in real life too without even trying. At least I was calm the whole time and managed to use it as an excuse to ask questions in general about things going on and I sort of got an unofficial but maybe truer than we might think reason for why the Wii U App does not support profiles.
In my conversation I go over every issue that gripes me because **** at this point I am committed to the cause and there is no turning back that hour and a half is gone too late to watch a movie now. So I proceed to press them not on Wii U as a device but on their lack of Japanese as a language option under Preferences on the main site. So after a few minutes of griping and badgering, I am escalated to a higher up at this point as I often press for once they fail to provide a proper response to whatever issue I am calling about.

Anyways it turns out that the real reason for not having  Japanese Language as an option ties into why Nintendo cares so little about the Wii U App. According to the guy they do not currently have Netflix in Japan and that is why they do not have a true Japanese section and why Nintendo cares so little about the App. It was kind of different with Wii apparently because the thing was such a success Nintendo had to approach Netflix or something. Anyways the person on the phone indicated that while they are not sure about the actual App it self they DO know that Japan is getting Netflix sometime this year and after that deal goes through supposedly Nintendo will be working with Netflix to develop more content and at that point they might be interested in making changes to the App.

Not really true investigative journalism in fact its probably standard CSR Bull **** to get me off the phone. But anyways it does offer some insight into Nintendo's possible motive for not caring about the Netflix App considering they are such a Japan centric company.


Oh and it reminded me that I need to spend less time on the internet and more time doing other things with my life. So again keeping with the theme of the thread instead of actually learning a valuable lesson and doing something productive with my late night, I spend it writing up a long winded post on the internet that will not get read by any significant number of people. Yep productive use of my limited time on this planet.

I've been waiting for a package all day from Verizon for my phone.

missed the doorbell and they left note on the door to pick up after 6pm. I seriously missed him by about 2-3 minutes, but whatever. didn't hear the door. don't think they actually knocked.

so about 6:30 I hop in the car and head down to UPS, which was right off the freeway from where I was headed anyway. Go in and look around. can't figure out why the place is practically closed. So I ask someone that came in to drop off a package if they knew where I could pick one up at. After informing me that he wasn't sure, he was just a customer dropping off a package, he informed me that my pickup slip actually said Fed-X

I look down at it, and well, I'll be damned....
it also said they closed at 6:30... it was now 7pm

The Fed-X building was only another 3 minute drive away from where I was at, but it was still pretty embarrassing, and they were closed anyways.

UPS person came out to their car while I was getting back in mine, and joked that "you gotta be careful saying the F(ed-X) word around here".

So a friend and I are at Wallgreens shopping for tooth ache medicine. He made  a crack about the bottle of stuff that comes with tweezers and cotton balls in tooth medicine he thought it was a mini pliers and the bottle of stuff was an antiseptic or something. That was almost funny but I topped it a second latter entirely by accident. I picked up another one that came with a tiny brush for applying the medicine and made an off handed comment before I realized what I was saying I said "who the hell puts a brush in their mouth how gross." Man he didn't stop laughing for like five minutes. My save was "well why else do you think I am shopping for toothache medicine" which didn't make it any better.

I'm at a fancy hotel with my girlfriend and we manage to smuggle in some outside beers to the pool area. Only problem is they're bottles and we don't have a bottle opener. Convinced we have on on the car I go through every nook and cranny. "We have 3 different bottle openers! Why can't I find one in this goddamn car?" Dejected, I head back to my room, searching for anything I could use to open a bottle. I'm desperate and going as far at looking at the beard trimmer add-ons to see if any of them could pry the beer bottles open. I let out an exasperated sigh, and check the pockets on my swim trunks to take out my cell phone and call my girlfriend by the pool. Oh wait I don't have my phone with me. But I don't panic. I just mutter a soft "**** me" under my breath.


My swim trunks have a wax comb attached to my pocket. It has a bottle opener included.
