TIL that dumb is defined as having scored less than 100 IQ.
Anyway, I've worked enough customer service to say with some confidence that I've met at least a few people who truly just exist and let the world happen to them with zero curiosity.
I feel this so hard. Nothing like working with the general public to realize how fucking dumb so many are. Critical thinking skills are scarce on this planet.
I did both fast food and big box retail, and holy shit people are dumb. For anyone here who wants to say that's mean or I don't understand, I counter with you've never had a cheeseburger thrown at you because apparently they wanted a cheeseburger with no cheese and how dare you not know that.
Is being bellow 100 really the definition of dumb?
It used to be unable to talk.
Also if 100 is average being slightly bellow average shouldn't be considered "dumb"
Yeah you are right. It's not dumb to be on the left side, unless it's quite far on the left side. And even then, it's not at all the most important human quality at all.
I meant that I have lived in a bubble a bit, with friends, colleagues, girls all being university students. I have never worked customer service or been in the military.
Many of the examples in this thread are experiences I haven't had. So I just wanted to ask people about their experiences.
