Most of you have known me for a year. You can all agree that I am compartivly dumb relative to a lot of members here.

Well, today I went into buy liquer with my mom in some store where everyone wears casual clothes. Some dumbshit asks me "Do you work here"

I was dressed in scrubs. What the f**k is his f*****g problem?

:lol: It must be like the doctor's office/restaurant in Dilbert, where all the waiters are also doctors of various types and you can order procedures off a menu.

Some people are just really dumb. I knew someone who worked at walmart....he was wearing the walmart vest thing, name tag, and pushing the thing that waxes the floor. Some guy went up to him and asked if he worked there

How can we have known you for a year, if you registered in Jul 2010?

By only addressing your thread title:

I think you are too hard on yourself. You're modest enough to "know" your limits. This is wise.

I think inexperienced would be better.

It's not that stupid. Customers asked me that a lot when I worked at WalMart; I didn't wear the vest thou. Some employees would lie & say they didn't work there when they were approached by customers. I think part of the confusion is that people say here when they meant that department.

I never thought of you as not being smart ApsieGuy. You make a lot of sense to me for what ever that's worth

From the NT point of view that might just have been a way to get the guy's attention and to start some kind of conversation. Many NTs consider it rude just to barge in with their question and will instead put some kind of conversation-introduction phrase before they get to the point. Sometimes it is simply "Good day!", sometimes it is "Can you help me, please?" or "I have a question", but in some cases NTs start out by saying something which basically means "You get paid to help me, don't you? So here we go."

So, someone that you don't know, someone whose life story you don't know, you think is an idiot or stupid for asking you a simple question?

I have to agree, one can't say that someone is dumb on the basis of such a thing. And additionally, even if a person may seem dumb in some regards, that person may be exceptionally intelligent in other regards... like maybe being useless in maths, and similar, but with an exceptionally advanced mind, in regards to emotions. Or not understanding simple instructions, but having an exceptional perception, in many other regards.

Just a thought... were you by any chance sorting things in that liquor store? One may mistake someone who does that as working at the place... I myself may find myself doing that, at times, although I think I look a bit too intimidating, overall, especially with my clothing, for anyone to ever assume I may be working at the place.
