I have a good friend who always says, “I love humanity. I tolerate people.” I don’t know why that quote has always stuck in my head, but 20 years later, I still think of it from time to time. (He also says, “the gene pool could use some more chlorine”).

I really do like most people and I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but man, sometimes it’s pretty hard seeing the good in human beings.

Here are some examples that might tip the scales a little bit…in the wrong direction.

It’s hard to tell if this person is trying to be funny or is…well, kind of a dummy. Let’s assume they were serious with this question. If so, humanity might be in trouble…

A bonus: apparently, this was a submission in the “No Stupid Questions” subreddit.

Was this person trying to say “my husband is less than your husband?” If that’s the case, this guy really hit the jackpot!

I think she meant the exact opposite. Might be time to crack open a book!

I might have a solution here, just stick with me. What about…neither of you orders pickles on anything ever again!!! Just an idea, I know it sounds crazy.
