How do you deal with dumb people
I just had this discussion with my best friend. We were comparing who deals with more stupidity during their day.
I gave the following as my example.
I go to the same BP every morning at the same time like clockwork. The cashier pretty much knows what I get. medium hot chocolate with hazelnut and a NY post. 5 days a week 52 weeks a year. Well today the cashier asks me "are you from NY"  and I just smile and said "No I am from Kansas" and walked out.
How do you deal with dumb people.

I mostly just shake my head and sometimes laugh. What else can I do?

What does buying a medium hot chocolate and a NY Post have to do with you being from New York? And so you buy hot chocolates in the middle of the summer as well? And I assume you are the only customer in that BP all day, every day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year?
You do pose a good question though...how DO we deal with those people?

Excuse me what exactly do you have to contribute to this thread?
Do you have a valid response or are you here to cause problems. Because if so I would suggest you dont post on my threads.

Come on, did you seriously expect a straight answer to your question from anyone? And I'm not causing trouble. I'm merely posting my point of view. Isn't that what you were doing as well?

I don't really understand how getting a hot chocolate and a NY Post has to do with being from NY either.

Re: How do you deal with dumb people
Considering I live in FL and the NY post is not really a commonly bought paper that the only people who do buy the post are generally from NY.

the girl lives in FL, why ELSE would she buy a NY paper EVERYDAY, if not for the fact that she's FROM NY?
(maybe I'M the one not getting it...   )

calm down, no need to SCREAM at me.
I was just saying I did not get it. I just did not think it was a DUMB question for the cashier to ASK. Thats all.

Maybe the guy was just making conversation? Maybe he was just trying to be nice? If I go into a newsstand everyday and buy the Washington Post, does that mean I must be from Washington or is it just that I like that paper or is it that my boss asks me to pick it up for him everyday? Hmmmm, I wonder...
