Why are people so dumb ?

I am exhausted by dumbos .
Tuesday contacted the council re a problem with tree roots in the sewage pipe my plumber ( although the he has done the work it’s has cost me )-it has caused a bung up in the foul waste pipe at goodness knows what mess. But he says the roots are from trees in a park the other side of my fence and the inform the council re possible removal .
Ok call the council ask to speak to parks dept .
No can do it has to be ‘ passed on from customer service ‘.
Ok I email CS with photos showing clearly showing tree and my house ( four in all ) and address .
So I get back an email from parks dept with photo please confirm this is the tree .
Blooming tree no where near my house nothing like the tree I have photographed .
They have ignored my photos entirely .
Called back no answer from parks
Call customer service they try to get through to parks dept .
They are not answering ( tell me something I don’t know )
I will send them an email they will call you she says .
( yes and I have fairies at the bottom of my garden )
Resend all pics with mark up iin red .
Send map with spot in red where tree is .
A three year old could find that tree .
A one eyed man on a motorbike could find that tree .
A Bedouin just over on holiday from the desert could find that tree
Why are people so dumb .

Muddy
you have to go to university to learn how to be dumb. They get degrees in knowing what to, but not how to. My late father who also had is own medium size business employing around 40 people I remember him saying if there were two applicants for a job he would alway go for the one with work experience.

If your wondering why I didn't take over the company the London County Council as it was back then compulsory purchase the property and land for a road widening scheme "which never actually happened". So the business close down when I was very young

Money for nothing! Not a brain between them, or you get "oh that's not my job" I'd love to be their boss and say "pay you? oh that's not my job

Government are ‘special’ people Muddy, not necessarily dumb.

Its coz (cough, cough) because they are all working from home, and there is probably not a photo of that particular tree on Google.

Not surprised Muddy...

I went out and told one of the council workers cutting the grass that the street light by the church wasn't working and could he report it.
He said no it wasn't his department ..

Didn't there used to be a saying "If you can't get a 'proper' job
then go and work for the council"?

Re: Why are people so dumb ?

I encountered dumb drivers here at the end of my shopping trip. I almost apologised for existing. Rude and stupid.
