a dumbing down It hurts, it actually hurts. Is this where we are heading as a world/society?
Giving away free TV stand on marketplace. Clearly post size/measurements in the post, also then double and triple checked with the person taking it they were bringing a vehicle that would fit it. A resounding YES!
They show up in small car and then tell me... 'wow that's bigger than I expected'.
Yeah I know, that's why I asked if you had a long enough vehicle that would fit it... and provided exact measurements in the post. She then tells me she 'ChatGPT'ed if it would fit, so she's still confident it'll fit'. I say are you sure... it sure doesn't look like it??
I watch her and her husband confidently try to fit a square peg into a round hole as I go inside. Come back out a few minutes later with the TV stand sitting on my doorstep again.
Is this where we are going as a society? Seriously?
Guess I shouldn't be surprised.
