That got me thinking, Is it true? Do we sometimes become hardened by what we see everyday? Does it affect us in other areas?

I don't think we necessarily get hardened to it, but I know I'm more aware of stupid acts wherever I am. For example, just last night my husband and I are at the drive-thru for McDonald's. My husband is driving so he's closest to the window. The lady working there, as we pull up, says sarcastically to a co-worker, 'does a combo come with fries?' So my husband asks her, did you just get asked that? She replies with a yes. Now most people, probably wouldn't have even noticed what she had said, or that the tone probably meant it was just one in a long serious of stupid questions she had been asked. I mean, I could see asking at some random restaurant cause maybe they don't even have fries, but at a McDonald's? They make most of their money off their fries, of course a combo come with fries.Driver_dylan wrote: That got me thinking, Is it true? Do we sometimes become hardened by what we see everyday?

Well, in merchandise stupidity was not too bad, as it basically was only stupid questions. However, in entertainment you have to be more careful as it involves someone else besides you (the characters). So I guess I just become more aware to the stupidity.Driver_dylan wrote:So yesterday, I got to the park a bit early and decided to go have lunch at one of my favorite places in the whole park "Caseys'" :love2: As I am sitting at a table eating my hot dog and fries, The Dream Come True Parade started, and of course people suddenly decide that they need to stop in front of the crossing and you could hear the CM trying to get people to move. From the table next to me, I over heard two girls talking. One of them said to the other, "I guess if you work here long enough you get over the extream stupitidy you see every day."

Getting over the "stupidity" is one thing. Learning how to cope with it and getting use to it is another thing. I'll admit I've lost sleep before my shifts on occassions, planning for the worse as Donald Trump advised on a TV show (don't know which one).Driver_dylan wrote:One of them said to the other, "I guess if you work here long enough you get over the extream stupitidy you see every day."
