Foot-in-mouth disease...

There are so many dumb ass people in the world. I wonder why this is so? I'm not just talking about book smarts, but mainly the concept of tact and appropriateness. A friend was telling me about an insensitive comment that someone made to her the other day. The same person has made a similar comment before, which leads me to believe that her little dumb ass zingers are no accident. It's one thing to slip and say something, but a while different ballgame when your intent is to be hurtful and rude. Perhaps to compensate for something that they are missing (in this instance, brains and class), they try to say dumb things to knock you off kilter. This same person has said some dumb-ass things to me as well, but I don't really give a shit. I could be wasting my time and energy on much more thoughtless things, not thoughtless people. Someone should develop a cure for good ol foot-in-mouth disease. Maybe I will. I'll be so damned rich!
