I was thinking about this. I went to university, and I worked in tech for decades. I met many assholes but I didn’t meet anyone that would fit on the left half of the bell curve (less than 100 iq).
Since I’ve been living in that bubble my entire life, I’m curious of your stories. Have you met someone who was actually quite dumb (not just having opinions you don’t agree with) and do you have an example situation you remember you can share?
Hopefully this becomes more funny than hateful since intelligence is not the value of a person, but it can be funny to read the stories.
When I was an undergrad in the late '90s, I got a clerical job in the facilities management (FM) department.
The president of the university had a fleet vehicle as a perk of his job. It was a very nice car that was donated by a local car dealer but since it technically belonged to the university, all maintenance was handled through FM.
Late '90s meant that the stereo had a 5-disc CD changer. And the president’s most frequent complaint about the car was that the stereo didn’t work. Every single time he had that complaint, it was because there were at least two extra CDs stuck in the changer.
You had to really force it to get extra CDs in those things. And that happened at least half a dozen times that I know of.
