Sam: The Peter Principle, We're All Idiots

Just finished reading The Peter Principle by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull. Interesting stuff. The world is full of idiots because everyone rises to their level of incompetence. Good read. I buy it. 

If you’re smart enough to get to the next level, you’ll move up. You’ll keep moving up until you reach a point where you’ve passed your maximum capabilities and you fail miserably. It’s there you will stay until you die, forever screwing everything up. Multiply that by billions, and there you go. Our world.

Spent the morning demoting everyone in my company just to be safe.

*Editor note: Sam has clearly risen to his level of incompetence.

Sam Hanover: On Turn Signals

Not my turn, but some things need to be said when they need to be said. Can someone please explain to me what’s so incomprehensible about the concept of turn signals? You push the little lever down when you want to go left. You don’t push the lever down when you don’t want to go left. Why is this rocket science, people? And while you’re at it, get off your phone. Yes, we know you’re lost. You’ve been going 5mph for the last eight blocks. You’ve also abandoned every rule of driving that’s kept you alive since the day you got your permit. How about you pull over and THEN call your new friend Tony to find out which car’s in his driveway and the color of his shutters.

Thanks, you’re a champ.
