Who’s stupid enough to do that?

In the category of story titled : “Stupid ad that piss me of,” there is yet another I can relate of. This ad basically consists of one guy driving around and eventually hitting another car and then leaving his address and phone number on a note under the wiper. For the other guy to see his car was hit and call the other guy for insurance or whatever reason. My question is:

Who’s stupid enough to do that? Seriously?

There is no one around and the guy could easily go away. Why? Why does he leaves his name? What’s the point? You think you will get a medal for your honesty and hard work? Here’s a confession: often, very often, I’ve hit and damaged cars. And often, very often, I’ve had my own car damaged. Do you think anyone left their address? Do you think I left my own? Of course not. I’m not a dumbass.

People suck. There is no way I’m paying for their repairs — even if it’s my fault. Sure, it’s good behavior and good morale, but at the end who will care? You will simply have 500 less dollars in your bank account. That’s it. No one is going to thank you for your honesty. You’ll still get bitched by the other owner and still have to go through the trouble of working everything out. Even if you have insurance, your premium will go up and you will have to deal with the trouble.

Giving out your address won’t reduce the number of people who hit you and run away. Yes, they are committing a crime, but who cares? There isn’t an organization devoted to making the world a fairer place — in fact, the closest thing we have to “fairness” is the police and don’t even get me started on that.

I had the same discussion with a person and he said “knowing you did the right thing” will make you feel better. OH, REALLY? I’m sure my honesty will eventually pay out. I’m sure I’ll sleep better at night knowing I was honest enough to give out my address to some dumbass who probably won’t give a shit about me anytime and probably mocks me every day. I have a new theory:

People suck.

Not a big theory, I know. You can spend all your life doing good and at the end it won’t do anything. That’s what I understood. People will still get raped, killed, stolen, etc. You won’t change anything by doing the “good” thing. And who tells you that you’re doing the “good” thing anyway by leaving your number? Is there an universal set of ethics saying you have to take responsability for your acts, even when others don’t? Where is that paper I signed? If I can go away without trouble, I will, I’m not going to lie like all the fucking hypocrites on this world.

By “people sucking”, I don’t necessarily mean you, or humans in general: more like “The Mass”. The mass always thinks the same way, share the same opinion and have little to no personality. Nothings bore me more than the mass.

People are boring.

90% of the people I meet these days bore me out. Here’s what a typical life of the mass looks like:

1. You are a kid. You hate adults
2. You go to elementary school. That part is cool.
3. You go to high school. You have sex with strangers to do like everyone else. You fail some of your classes and bitch about homework.
4. You go to college. You have a part-time job in a grocery/retail/restaurant.
5. You smoke weed, do more party.
6. You find a stupid job. This is where the financial problems begin. Everyone has financial problems. If you’re not endebted and have to work 20 years to repay your whatever loans, you’re not normal.
7. You work 10 years in a boring stupid job where you do basically nothing but bullshit. You are never totally awake and never totally asleep. You talk behind the back of your colleagues. Life sucks. We tell you that you’ll be able to enjoy life and have “free time” when you’re retired and have no obligations. ROFLMAO. If you’re a woman, you might be actually lucky enough to find a guy who earns enough for both of you. If that’s the case, your life just turned much easier: you just got to open the legs instead of actually working.
8. You age up, you eventually marry a bitch/alcoholic — if you don’t divorce later, you’re not normal. You have stupid kids, you age up, you buy retirement crap and lose it eventually in a crash, you get old and suddenly your “free time” is choosing the time of medications you want to take. You bitch with insurance agents — they treat you like an old idiot. They are only at number 6. You don’t see your kids because you screwed up raising them, working too much for some dumb money you lost/spent on shit. You end up spending your week-ends in some Tim Hortons with other losers discussing what your life insurance is and how much it costs.
9. You are in a health center and a teenager at stage 4 of his life wipe your ass. The highlight of your week is when the nurse sees you and you can later complaint she stole your meds and replaced them with peanuts. The highlight of your day is the juice you take at 2PM.
10. At a point you’re so crazy you’re dead. Your body might still be breathing (artificially), your mind is somewhere else. The last years needs not to be told. The manager of your center runs probability algorithms to sell the right amount of rooms for the next month. Ten residents times 10% chance to die each… let’s sell one room for next month right now. Your kids get called to pick up your stuff — they don’t come because they don’t want anything you own. Except your money, of course. But even your inheritance gets eaten up by greedy lawyers, notaries, court fees, long-time lost friends who hope to get a piece of the pie — and this is the end of you as we know it. Your ex-wife/husband comes to your funeral to look good in front of other people and kids who are still fighting over your inheritance. Yet another idiot died in this world: you.

Know where honest people end up? Same place as bad people. For long, religions tried to make us believe honest and good people would end up in a better place than bad people after they’re dead. And guess who promoted religion? Rich people, of course. The message is: work hard all your life and once you’re dead, you will be in a better place than me for all ETERNITY! Can you imagine eternity? No you can’t! Work hard while I reap the benefits, dumbasses!

Hint: there is no heaven, and God, if he exists, probably doesn’t give a shit about what you do.

When heaven simply didn’t cut it, rich people invented retirement. Work hard all your life and when you retire, if you’re still alive, if you’re in good health, if the stock market has not crashed, you will have a peaceful retirement. F If there’s anything I really can’t tolerate now, it’s government promoting its hidden taxes under “retirement projects”. This, however, is an entirely different article.

Back to the shitty ad: it was from an insurance company promoting a new product I don’t remember which is a good thing because once you start remembering ads, you have too much free time. Basically it said that you’re covered bla bla bla. Here’s another idea: I don’t take any insurance and if I hit a car, I go away, like any human being who saw the true face of this world would do.
