Rant about frikking not so smart people

[gotgolf?]

I was at the golf range today. There were two older men hitting to the right of me (facing the range). I was addressed to hit a shot when I hear an aerosol sound. I figure its one of those water spray cans (it was bloody hot) and that one of the guys was spraying his face. All of a sudden I feel like a cockroach under RAID attack. I look up and the moron is spraying WD-40 on his clubs in FRONT of a fan they have set up! I approach him frikking steamed asking him to stop and asking him to be more considerate. He apologizes, then proceeds to move BEHIND the fan and continue. DOH! Where are these people from. Sorry I am just pissed after inhaling a quarter can of WD-40. What other stories do you have of people with single digit IQ's and no common sense on the range at the course etc...

Wow, that was pretty retarded.

I get pissed off when someone is using a Cobra driver on the range. It gives me a friggin' headache and tinnitus. What makes me even more upset is when they go right infront of me to pick up their pegs after every shot. Makes me wanna BOOM one right up their ass making them feel my pain.

What I wanna know is why was he spraying WD-40 on his golf clubs?

I'm with you....what could possibly be the purpose of that??

I wondered, too, but if you go to the following, you'll see that it is, among many other uses, recommended as a cleaning agent for golf clubs.

Hey guys, I don't want to be the internet police here, but I don't think using the adjective used above to describe this guy in the topic is appropriate in any way. What if a user of this site happens to have a child with this particular disability? (I don't.) I think that is a very possible situation, and this could be really offensive. Please just think before you throw around certain words.

Why would he need to clean them with WD40? What happened to the old fashion towel wipe down?

You'd have to ask him that question. But the question was "What could be the purpose of that?"

Yeah I was feeling iffy about the word, hence the substituted @. But I was just steaming - usually I try to be as PC as possible.

u shouldve sprayed his grips with the wd-40...works like a charm

I think you're missing the point here. It's not whether it's spelled out or not, it's the use of the term itself. Retardation is a disability. It's not a stupid person.

If my son or daughter was born retarded, I would be EXTREMELY offended by your remark. Call 'em a jerk, call 'em an A-hole, call 'em stupid, but to call them retarded is,well... stupid.

[gotgolf?]

I am not missing the point. I admitting it is an un-PC term. If anything it's insensitive and thoughtless. Don;t go around calling people stupid. I'm sure before the whole PC movement lots of people went around using the "r" word for jerks and *******s. Don't become one yourself. I already admitted my wrong-doing.

[BigAl5150]

Alright everyone, lets knock off the name calling. gotgolf admitted his wrong doing so lets move on.

[Norm66]

It's tough to deal with idiots. I can't imagine what someone would be thinking to spray anything around or behind a fan pointed at someone. I would guess he thought he was cleaning and protecting his clubs from oxidation or something.

[Chairman7w]

I wonder if he was tyrying to lube the faces to reduce spin? I kid you not I knew a guy that put vaseline on his driver before for that reason. (cheating, of course)

[TheNextBen]

maybe he didn't want them to rust or something.

[CheeseWedge]

Maybe he needed to loosen up his swing a little!

I was just thinking that, fact is WD 40 would be like putting chapstick on your driver face and then some. Guy sounds like a inconsiderate prick, funny how everytime i go golfing i run into at least 1 of those.
