Okay. Rant time.

I'm an operator for the irc chat channel of a cable tv network. Last night they were running a marathon of "Cops". Cops has its own chat channel, where a bot asks questions, and the answers the chatters say get on tv. Alright, but see, i operate a DIFFERENT channel for the network. The site for this network is apparenly designed in such a way that people can't tell what link to click to get to the right chat channel. Or they're too stupid to. So we have people streaming in the wrong channel all night, trying to participate in the "Cops" chat.

Every 75 and 90 seconds, i have timers set that say:

THIS IS NOT THE COPS 2.0 CHAT ROOM. THE COPS 2.0 CHAT IS ROOM #cops20 <- DOUBLECLICK HERE OR TYPE /join #cops20 (THE SLASH IS IMPORTANT!) FOR THE COPS 2.0 CHAT ROOM, WHERE YOU GO TO GET YOUR TEXT ON TV.

Literally 80% of the people looking for the "Cops" channel can't do it. They never end up in the "Cops" chat, or immediately after the notice, they ask "how do i get in cops chat" or "is this on tv" or type (and i am absolutely serious when i say i saw about ten people do this last night, and i hadn't even been paying attention very often) "join#cops20". That's not counting the other, equally, or even more incorrect, variations.

Now. As you can see, it clearly states, in caps and bold, to "TYPE /join #cops20 (THE SLASH IS IMPORTANT!)", not to type join#cops20. And that the slash is important. Or alternately, they can simply doubleclick where it says to double click. Now i'm betting most of you readers, when given these instructions could, in fact "TYPE /join #cops20", or doubleclick where instructed to. That is why you are my friends.

Seriously, is the rest of humanity so incredibly stupid that they can't follow simple instructions printed on a screen in big bold letters? Is this typical of the human race? I mean, this isn't just, sort of stupid, this is "i can't believe you have the mental capacity to find which hole you put the food in" Is this why i find so very few people tolerable? No wonder the world is in the state it is today.

I know it might not seem like a big deal to most of you, but this is aggrivating me so much. This is just another in a long, long line of things that show me how stupid humans are. I really feel like... screw people. if everyone is this stupid, i don't need 'em. No one does. They don't have the right to exist. And i'm not being dramatic. I really don't think these people deserve life. I had to go to school. I had to learn how to read, and follow instructions. Screw you for thinking you don't have to. Learn to do something for yourself. You're not mentally disabled, you have no excuse. You're insulting every single one of us who actually uses our brain for something other than storing football stats and trying to get laid. Stop wasting our oxygen and making the cost of food go up driving your stupid giant gas guzzling soccermommobile around town. Oh, and P.S. I hate you.

And those of you smart enough to know i'm not talking about you, know i'm not talking about you.


Thanks for listening. Your reward is ( a survey, in which you may learn some things about me. Or not. Read it anyway, especially the ones with long answers. )
