apples to apples
I’m sitting at the library, at a table behind a couple in their teens.
Guy: This is so annoying. I hate history.
Girl: Don’t you find it interesting, at least a little bit?
Guy: No, it’s just a retarded amount of reading.
Girl: Well, I think it’s interesting.
Guy: What? Who cares how WWI started; it’s over, isn’t it? Let’s, like, move on, y’know?
Girl: You’re stupid.
Me: [leaning back in my chair to interrupt] Maybe he isn’t stupid – maybe his intellectual-curiosity just doesn’t naturally extend beyond video games and porn.
[pause]
Or, perhaps his mental-capacity is just too small for the questions he’s pondering.
Guy: [to girl] Yeah, maybe it’s my mental...
[pause; to me] Actually, that sorta sounds like the same thing as being stupid.
Me: It’s exactly the same thing.
[pause]
God you’re stupid.
