I was at Dorney Park yesterday waiting to buy some soda. This ~12 year old girl in front of me asks the guy at the register: "Can I have a diet water?" To the credit of the guy at the register, he gives her the water quietly, lets her leave, starts laughing his ass off and asks me: "Did she really say that???" I couldn't stop laughing at that one.

well... it does sound dumb, but i think she wanted a flavored water which is considered "diet" b/c it's artificially sweetened.

I remember when I was a kid thinking all my peers were idiots... so it's not a generational thing.

Young people are naturally stupid. But now, thanks to the dumbing down of pop culture and emphasis on simple talk and ebonic communication, people of all ages are relatively stupid and its getting worse. They made a movie on the subject but the name escapes me.

Depends if it's an auto-swing or auto-slide door. I have held open wheelchair/auto-swing doors a couple times in the past. I guess the motor activated while I was pulling, but that did not make me feel any stupider when I let go:).

Eh, get back on your rocker and yell at some kids to get off your lawn, gramps.

There are always stupid people in every generation. You just happen to notice only the stupid ones.

This was your first mistake in living an idiot free life. ;)

Heh heh it was actually pretty fun. My buddy likes going there for his birthday (even though we're all 25-26). I totally understand that most of the people there aren't necessarily a good cross section of humanity but it really made me laugh.

I don't particularly have an issue with stupidity since I also get beat by the retard stick now and then. But you couldn't script a better line than: "Can I have a diet water?"
