This guy wasn't just a regular moron.
He was the product of the greatest morons of a generation, working together with the expressed purpose of creating the dumbest moron who ever lived.........
And they succeeded!
I was down at the parking meters the other day when a car pulls into one of the vacant meter spaces next to me.
Guy gets out, walks up to the meter.... and stares at it. I don't mean just "casual glance" or "piqued interest" , I mean, he gets INCHES away from the face plate for this meter and cups a hand to it, and peers inside, like he's looking through a pair of binoculars.
Then, he uses his thumb to wipe the front of it, apparently thinking there are some words or something hidden beneath that layer of bare, polished, metal....
Finding none.... he then starts poking it
No, you read that right, poking the meter.
Now, this is the kind of meter that has no handle on the front to turn, just a slot for quarters, once you drop one in, the LED screen lights up with how much time you were awarded.
There are NO MOVING PARTS on this meter at all
But our hero, starts pushing every surface he can identify as a composite piece of the construction.
He pushes the front
He pushes the glass-covered screen
He pushes the coin slot
He pushes the lock cylinder to the coin box below, then, noticing it's raised a bit and circular, tries to turn it like a knob.....
It's worth noting that I watched this whole thing absolutely transfixed, he at no time attempted to put ANY MONEY into or on this meter. Even though it says "QUARTERS ONLY" right above the coin slot.
He pushes a couple other random places on it, then decides that it must be broken somehow, because he then gets in his car and drives off.
Later, I saw it parked again at a different meter lot across the street. One with the turn-the-handle kind of meters.
And a parking citation on it
Guess he couldn't figure THOSE out either!
Friendly reminder: You may pick up your sucktorate degree on your way out of the building, and feel free to take one of our complimentary bindle sticks with you as you leave. Don't worry about your destination, just keep right on walking, we'll tell you when to stop.
