I'm learning new definitions for stupidity.
Each night at work, I take my break out the back door of my restaurant workplace. The same area serves as a smoking place for patrons, so there is a prominent ash basin where I sit.
This next part applies to both human behavior and stupidity. The distance between the ash basin and the alley back of the restaurant is about 40 yards. During a 15 minute break, an average of three to four desperate people check that ashtray. About one in 20 find something. I presume these people check about 20 ashtrays behind restaurants to get a butt.
This gives me pause regarding the basic principles surrounding the sustaining of life by conserving energy. Screw the ill-health caused by smoking. These people haven't grasped the matter of surviving long enough to get cancer.
Ugh. You just reminded me of my homeless, mentally unstable brother and his practice of (what he calls) "sniping."
