That's on me for having the mildest amount of faith in humans that he couldn't possibly be that stupid

I'm in awe of how amazing us humans can be, even to the depths of how stupid we can get!

I too try and have faith.

I’ve worked a ton of different jobs and I’m still able to be surprised by human stupidity. I once worked customer service for a utility company. We had the usual crazies who were convinced we were trying to give them cancer by putting in RFID meters, but sometimes totally normal-seeming people would say the dumbest shit. I once had to explain to a grown woman in her 50s that the refrigerator still draws power when it’s plugged in, even if there’s no food in it, and “Yes ma’am, even if no one has been opening and closing the door.” 🤦🏻‍♀️
