So what kinds of things do you guys see that makes you think "THAT'S JUST STUPID!!!"
Full Version: Thats Just Stupid!!!
I wanted to start this post to see how many people notice the stupid things that are done every day that are just a complete waste of time and money. All in the name of being "politically correct" or some other similar type of reason. I started thinking about that today when I saw city workers changing the street signs and replacing them with signs that included the street names in braille underneath. These street signs are 20 feet in the air. Does that make much sense? How about we give the blind guy a ladder in the middle of traffic, so he can climb up and find out what street he is on.
So what kinds of things do you guys see that makes you think "THAT'S JUST STUPID!!!"

I agree with you on that ^^^ that is just plane, I don't know but stupid is just the first thing that comes to mind.
I'll give you one better, 3 weeks ago the city tore up the street near my house to replace the water main. Last night A gusher erupts from the middle of the street, around 11pm, so I call the emergency number and they come out and start to "Fix" it. they cap the ends between the leak and 5 minutes later, while they're trying to replace the leaking section another eruption. So they decide to just pack it up for the night and head home while the other section is still leaking, and I still have no water today cause they're tearing up the entire street yet again ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's awesome. Sounds like you live in Ohio or something. lol

stonehenge thats part of a commercial they shot back in 2008, you can hear the director in the background yelling at the actors and cops heres the finished versionDid not know that, someone sent it to me in an email awhile back. It was believeable for Detroit cops to do something like that so I never questioned it.
Now don't I feel stupid.
When I got that email it was because I had my car stolen, then the thief's found my number in the car and called me and offered to sell me my car back for $300.00. I was persuaded by others to call the police and report the phone call so I did. The police mounted a sting operation involving three cities, where the car was stolen from, my city I reported the extortion call to, and Detroit where the meeting was to take place. We met with the thief's, well one of them at a gas station (I watched from across the street, an undercover cop actually met them). They tool the $300.00 and told the cop who he thought was me to follow him to where the car was, when they got on the street where the car was Detroit police decided to show them selves before gaining possession of my car and a high speed chase ensued. They cornered the guy driving my car, the other got away. Detroit radioed back to the Ecorse police that I was with that they had recovered my car, but needed to take it for processing evidence. Ecorse police on the scene returned to where we were at the gas station and told me my car looked in good condition, but I wouldn't be able to get it for a couple of days until Detroit was done with it. I waited a few days then started calling to get my car. No one could find it. With the help of the Ecorse detective I found out that Detroit changed their mind about taking my car, and left it here with the keys in it! Big surprise it wasn't there anymore! It was stolen a second time thanks to the cops leaving it there with the keys in the ignition. About a week later I started calling around to impound lots looking for my car in case it had been recovered, Detroit wouldn't help me. I finally found it in a Detroit impound lot full of bullet holes, busted glass, no rims or tires or battery, and the inside trashed. They impounded it as an abandoned vehicle, it had been picked up on a dead end street about a mile from where the cops left it. I had to pay the impound fee and a fine for an abandoned vehicle, to get it back.
Now that is stupid.
The only thing that could top that whole incident is about a month later I took my daughter and two neighbors kids to a Halloween party and afterward to McDonald's Pulling into McDonald's we were surrounded by police and pulled form the car a gunpoint. A cop ran my plate after seeing all the bullet holes in the car and it came up as stolen involved in a felony, so they surrounded us police dogs and all and treated us like the criminals. It was all sorted out quickly and the police apologized for the mix up, apparently Detroit never removed it from the system, the cop there did on a phone call in less than a minute.
It was after all this that I got the email with that video from a friend of mine.

DAYUM if that happened to me in Dallas I would have been sent to the county lockup faster than they surrounded the car. luckily you got it sorted out before something really bad happened. Police really are too F***ing trigger happy lately, I would have sued the city for your troubles, I mean attempting to arrest them before the have sight of your car, allowing it to be stolen a second time, then trashed, and failed to remove it from the system as a suspect vehicle are pretty good grounds right there.
Not american, but, ^^^ agreed
