Stupid People

I get tired of being late every day because of the stupidity of others He says. I get tired of his sarcastic attitude but I keep quiet. Poor you! A co-worker says. Poor you. They lament all of the dumb people they have met that day. Yesterday a whacked out old man cut in front of me, And I thought I was going to die, he told her. Poor him. Poor him. Being a crazy old person myself, I keep quiet. None of these morons should be on the road, He laments. A little crowd has gathered now. Some concerned. Others wise. They have seen this before. They sign in and go to work. Poor him, poor him Some say. I hear him talking about a crazy old woman now. So I yell, “Leave your house earlier!” An ant sneezed and we all heard it.

I re-wrote that last line about 19 times, so I am thrilled that it worked. Thank you for your kind feedback.
