No. Its true it doesn’t take much to be the idiot of the week. As a matter a fact its rather very simple. I think there must be a club that meet somewhere to be part of this group and this group has members worldwide incase you are wondering. Just what is the idiot of the week. These are the ones you meet up with when taking a walk or at a store, or anywhere. I will give you an example of one of my times of running into one of its members and tell you the best way to react.
One day I was taking a walk from my job of weeding out Mrs. Grufinorflers toiletbowl flowerbeds which she has all over her yard for decorative reasons, and heading to my next one. When all of a sudden ahead of me there was this group. They were smoking their cigarettes and talking about whatever they talk about. I didn’t really appreciate second hand smoke so I went ahead of them to get away. That’s when it didn’t take me long to discover their club they belonged to. They said wise little things like why don’t you walk a little faster? Yeah he has to walk faster and things as, He’s gotta get going faster now. In other words just being wise.
I got even and I found this is the best way to get even in a case like this and they hate it very much. You pretend you don’t hear a thing and you just keep on going. This ofcourse it makes them try all the more because they are not getting their satisfaction and that is what they wanted in the first place. If you say something they are happy and will respond more and you will feel bad which they wanted in the first place. Besides why bring yourself down to their level. I wasn’t about to. If you say things back it could turn into a fight and why bother. Not worth it. The silent treatment is the best and safest way.
Here is another time I used the silent treatment and it made a man look very foolish and very much like an Idiot. I went to the local gas station to use it. A guy inback of us got really upset, He drove infront of me with his car and used the pump in front, but hollered up a storm saying all sorts of horrible things about us being there and then raced off with his truck. I ignored him and I didn’t say a word.
There was one character in town I must tell you about who didn’t use this advice. He stood 5 feet and weighed 100 pounds. He had an incident very similar to mine. He took his usual walk down the street. A man was behind him 7 feet tall and 325 pounds built like a basketball player. First thing this big guy says to this not so bright character Mr. Glick.
“ Hey Wimp”
“ Don’t call me names Mr. Because I don’t like it so there!”
“Wimpy Wimpy wimp”
“You are stupid Mr. Very Dumb, And you are bad and I will hit you for calling me such names.”
“ Oh yeah, Go Ahead and try”
Well Mr Glick started swinging into the air thinking he was making headway. He went all over the place and and the names continued back and forth.
“ Well come on shorty, I am waiting.
He did manage to get the guy once.”
“That’s it shorty I will take care of you”
Lets just say I won’t go into too much details about this situation since personally I don’t care about violence. But Mr. Glick was pretty bad for a while and learned a hard lesson. The big man did wind up in court and paid for Mr. Glicks medical bills. Now when this happens to Mr. Glick He doesn’t say a word because he knows better.
What about That big 7 foot guy which will remain nameless? He too is a changed citizen. After He had to pay Mr. Glick’s Doctor bills He himself decided it wasn’t worth it and became a better person himself. You want to know something really neat? Somehow Him and Mr. Glick became good friends. So you never know.
This is what I recommend. Don’t become a member of the Idiot of the week club. It’s not worth it.
