Stupid things you've overheard in public

[DAPUNISHER]

Haven't overheard anything lately, but have seen a few things-

Eating sushi with chop sticks.

Crossing 3 lanes at the last moment to make a turn.

Neighbor smoking while gassing up the lawn mower.

You should really tell him not to do that...

I would if I thought he'd listen. But this guy hung an HDTV in the garage so he can chain smoke, because the Mrs. won't let him smoke in the house. If he is outside, he has a lit cig, I kid you not.

It would certainly drive home the message that smoking can be hazardous to your health. :evil:

Talking about some $30k car...

Person 1: "Is it stick shift?"
Person 2: "No, but it uses paddles to shift"
Person 3: "The same ones they use in F1 racing"

"We only use a quarter of our brain"

Heard that so many times.

"We saved your asses in WW2"

The guy he was saying it to was South African.

Man, a whole lot of these really aren't very dumb at all.

It's not that dangerous unless he lights a cigarrette while filling the lawn mower.

Person 1: "What color is ultraviolet light"?
Person 2: "Your an idiot, it's OBVIOUSLY violet!"
venkman: *facepalm* x2

I am the grammar snob about whom your mother warned you.

A past girlfriend of mine said her father was in the army during WWII. That's plausible, because my father was. I was born rather late in life. I saw his picture, and he didn't look a day over 45(this was in 1991 :^D)

I've seen some genetically blessed 60-70 year olds who could pass for late 30s let alone mid 40s.

No really stupid, but kind of silly.

I was grocery shopping this afternoon and I'm heading down the soda aisle and a father and his two sons are blocking the aisle. So I approach, stop and look annoyed. The younger son (probably 6-7 years old) is arguing with his older brother (probably 14-15). The father is just standing there (probably wondering how he raised his kids to have the following conversation).

It goes something like this:
Younger Brother: You're a Nazi.
Older Brother: <smiles>No, you're a Nazi.
YB: <starts to cry>No, you're a Nazi!
OB: You're the Nazi.
YB: Dad, he called me a Nazi. He's the Nazi. <still whining/sobbing>

At this point, I was able to squeeze by and get the hell away from them. The Nazi name calling continued until I was out of the aisle. Talking about bizarre.

My dad (American) said this in a pub in England about ten years ago

*sigh* I can't take him anywhere

When I was stationed in Germany, I had the following conversation with a rude, older, Italian waiter.
me: were you in WW2?
waiter: no, I was too young, my father was.
me: I bet my grandfather kicked your father's ass.
waiter: è uno stupido figlio di cagna

Sushi is traditionally and originally finger food. It is the Japanese version of the sandwich....

I'm the first to admit I didn't know that, but I think it's a gigantic fucking stretch to call it "stupid" to eat sushi with chopsticks. Every sushi place I've ever been to (admittedly only cheap places) gives you chopsticks to eat with, and I'll be damned if I want sticky rice residue, wasabi and salmon oil on my fingers when I'm finished eating.

Edit - I just did a Google Image search for "sushi" and of the first 20 results, 6 images had chopsticks in them.

You'll have to tell all the Japanese people that because the ones Ive seen are using chopsticks to dip their sushi in their crazy sushi sauces.

I dont dip my sandwich into anything but my mouth.
