I love you all, I just have a low stupidity tolerance.

Why is it that just because I know how to answer a phone, I'm expected to know the answer to every conceivable question that the caller may want to ask? Good Lord, people, I don't know the home phone number of someone who used to work here! And I don't have every piece of information we've ever gathered on you sitting at my fingertips that I can access instantaneously! Yes, I can find out what bank you were with when you started giving to us, but I'm going to need to go to another room and look through the files. It's not like, "Oh, what do you know? The moment you called, all your information magically floated to my desk! I signed into a secure website and pulled up your banking info, and your autogiving registration unlocked the cabinet it was sitting in and flew through the wall into my hands! And yeah, I'm sure that if you called Bentonville High School right now and asked to speak to me, they'd be like, "Oh, sorry, Corrie doesn't work here anymore." and if you said, "Well can you give me her home number?" They'd say, "Uh...no...she doesn't work here. Why would we do that? Even if she did work here, we wouldn't give you her home number. What is wrong with you?"

That's what I'm asking. What is wrong with you people? It is NOT strange that I don't have her number! And I'm NOT an idiot for not being able to recite your routing number and account info on command! Leave me alone and try thinking for yourself for one dang moment! If you're that good of a friend, shouldn't you have this person's home number? And as sad and environmentally unfriendly as it is, they still make phone books. Get a freaking phone book and look up the number! Then you can call the phone book company and complain to them that the type is too small or they don't have your favorite pizza company listed. I don't need to field your stupid questions! So here are your options: 1) Ask stupid questions and be okay when I don't know the answers. 2) Be a productive member of society and look up the information yourself before you waste the time of someone who is obviously busier than you because they don't have time to answer your stupid questions and you apparently have all the time in the world to ask them and ask them and ask them, even when the busy person says "I don't know" the first three times!

That's about all I have to say. Try not to be one of the people who inspires these kinds of rants in my life or in others' lives. Before you ask someone a question, stop and ask yourself, "Is this a stupid question? Is there any way I can find out the answer to this question without bothering this person? Am I an idiot?" If all your answers are No, then you should proceed with caution (realizing that you're biased and your question may be dumber than you think). If ANY of the answers are yes, then either don't ask the question or don't ask me.

But remember that I love you all. I just have a low stupidity tolerance.

Rant over.
