Stupid thing that someone did that made you feel sorry for them.

    One Christmas I got my nan a Deep Fat Fryer cause obviously it was safer than using the oil on the saucepan method. Of course she plugged it in and did what she was used to doing - put it on a hot ring. Melted the ass out of it. Someone arrived soon after to put out the smokey mess that ensued but everytime I think of it I feel pretty sad...

    Poor nan :-(

    I never feel sorry when people do stupid things, cause its their own fault for being dumbasses.

    I do feel sorry for old people though, thats not their fault.

    At the Sands hotel in portmarnock someone guy park his car in the car park and he forgot to put his handbrake on, because I was walking on the footpath 50m away when the car rolled out of the car park, across the road and hit the wall.

    I felt real sorry for him.

    I always laugh when my mum picks up the remote and says hello into it when she accidentally mistakes it for her mobile....she does it so often, but her bitter words of embarrassment are usually enough to make me regret my laughter!

    I feel sorry for Ed Gein.

    He was into arts and crafts but took it too far.

    I still can't stop laughing at Mr Prendeville. I have been thinking about it all day. Did they need one of those ultravoilet lights to collect the evidence.

    In town yesterday it was pissing rain - guy walking ahead of me with a coffee and an umbrella, holding both in the same hand.
    A woman walking beside him lets her umbrella fall, he tries to be nice and holds it over her til she picks up hers but lets the coffee spill all over his legs - poor guy :D

    When I was a youngster I was in a computer shop and I heard a middle aged woman talking to a salesman. She obviously didn't have a clue about computers and just wanted something to connect to the internet. The focker of a salesman had persuaded her to buy a top of the range rig when all she needed was a bog standard cheapy machine. My heart went out to her as she asked basic questions (can I type a letter on it, whats this tray for, can it connect to the internet etc) because she didn't realise she was been taken for a ride. Thinking about how the poor woman dropped over a grand on this machine and knowing that once she got home and struggled to turn it on it would probably end up sitting in the corner gathering dust made me go:(

    Ummm, some people are just born stupid. I dont think it is their fault, but oddly I agree with you - I have far more sympathy for oldies.
