This sighting was told to me by a coworker. She had to go to the post office last week. Naturally, working 3rd shift, sometimes we have to stay up a couple hours late to wait for the post office to open, we get tired, cranky and impatient. And when we end up in these situations, it doesn't help.
So my coworker, Mo, was at the post office. Now the post office is in a very.....unique part of town. Mostly college kids and weirdos during the day, and really bad and not so safe at night. Oddly enough, during the day it's totally safe. But I digress...
In front of Mo was a man and a woman, who she decided must have been mother and son. She was stuck behind them for almost 15 minutes, dealing with their blatant stupidity and lack of book learnin'. They seemed a little backwoods hillbillyish, and they were trying to fill out a change of address form......Mo related the short version of the conversation to me as follows:
S= Son
M= Mom
S= Well it say here is where the address go.....but we's both moving somewheres else..
M= Well maybe we should ask the postman how to fill this out..
S= No I can figure it out........(starts to write his name, takes about 2 minutes to write the first few letters, screws up and scratches it out viciously)
S= We're gonna need another one....
M= Well if we're both movin somewheres else we are gonna need two of those..
S= I got it ma, just hold on a sec....
M= Are you gonna fill mine out for me?
S= I can't remember how to spell where it was I was movin to....
M= I can't either...
Thankfully they eventually sparked a neuron and asked the postman for help. He probably filled both forms out for them and probably had to teach the guy how to spell his name and how to spell where he was moving.
Ouch. Idiots. And it runs in the family.

Erm....I can't spell the place I'm moving to....not on first try, anyhow (Is it two Cs and one R or one C and two Rs????), and I certainly can't pronounce it right (learning Japanese and the pronunciation has royally messed up my English, and I'm not even fluent yet! 
).
