Jakartan Scale Of Stupidity
Here is Plis Deh Jakarta’s scale of stupidity, 1 being simply dumb, 10 being outright idiotic:
- picking your nose in a parliamentary session
- using your BlackBerry while driving (c’mon guys… admit this is stupid)
- trying to overthrow the government by burning tires in the street and hunger strikes
- throwing trash in the river, then blaming the government for mismanaging floods
- street demonstrations by whoever, provoking the cops to take action then claiming police brutality
- queueing 5 hours to get a pair of sandals
- crossing the street where there’s obviously a pedestrian bridge
- overtaking traffic jams at a bottleneck (do’oh!)
- riding a motorcycle while one hand is holding something else (cigarette, phone, LPG gas tank, 1 gallon water bottle, baby, etc)
- SMS-ing while riding your motorcycle, without a helmet and no headlights at night
Taken from Plis Deh Jakarta, and yes, I agree with this list.
