The “Idiots” Corner by “Billy Bob Smith” Things I Don’t Understand As we come to the end of another year, I thought I would reflect on a few things - things I don’t understand. Now I know from experience I am never the smartest person in the room, but some things I have observed over the past year, well I just find them stupid. Yes, I know I am talking about what’s in my crazy mind, but let’s see if you agree with any of them. I’m not covering the whole list - it would take several pages. And just to be clear, they are in no special order. Just stew on some of them for a moment. And please, I am not against gender, race, age, poor folks, people with no education, short people, medically challenged folks, or any other special group. ; Why do old guys have earrings? One guy told me last week, “‘Cause I can.” ; Why do young folks in their 30s still live with their parents? You tell me! ; Why do girls under five get $50 manicures? Stupid parents. ; Why do politicians think we believe them when they talk? ; Why do parents let their kids act like idiots in public - screaming, crying, yelling? Stupid parents. Okay, it’s time for some of your answers if you agree with any of them. ; Why do rich people think their money gives them extra time here? ; Why do people live in places where they get over 500 inches of snow every winter? ; Why do non-U.S. citizens think they deserve everything that folks who were born here and are citizens get? ; Why do people think technology is their answer to a better life? ; Why is social media so popular and so many are addicted to it now worse than they used to be? ; Why do people commit suicide? You’re going to leave here soon anyway. ; Why do people think being a druggie will make them content or happy? Shall I go on, or have you had enough? Okay, just a couple more. ; Why do people own multiple cars? ; Why do small business owners think life will be easy? ; Why do CEOs think they are better than the employees? ; Why is customer service now in the hands of people who don’t speak very good English? Got a few of your own you would like to add? Have a safe, fun, healthy, prosperous, and yes, wise 2026. Billy Bob Contact him via e-mail to michele@worldwidedrillingresource.com
