I realize "stupid things" is quite general so allow me to specify with an example:
Me: I can't find my keys.
Dumbass: Well, do you know where they are?
Yeah . . . that kind of stupid. Where people ask something that is blindingly obvious to anyone who was paying attention and is not a moron. It's especially annoying because I'm usually already frustrated by whatever it is that's got me riled. I don't need to deal with someone's stupid ass distracting me and further angering me. Usually when this happens I shove their blatant stupidity in their face as such:
(Continued from above)
Me: Well . . . if I knew where they were I wouldn't be tearing the house apart to find them, now would I?
Dumbass: Hey, don't be so rude! I was just trying to help!
In that case, either try harder or get the hell out of my way. Your idiotic commentary is helping no one. If you want to be of any assistance, start looking with me or ask actually useful questions, such as "what do they look like?" or "you checked your pockets, right?" (yes, I'm guilty of tearing through the house looking for my keys when they were in my pocket the entire time).
Another thing; don't get offended at me for pointing out that you said something stupid with a snarky reply. Honestly, you should know better. Maybe this'll teach you to think before you speak.
I realize I'm probably a bit vicious in this regard, but when I was young and said something stupid like that I got ripped to shreds (my parents were especially eager to embarrass me and make me feel stupid) so I tend to not extend any leniency towards people who do the same. I had to learn the hard way.
My favorite instance of this was when my mailbox at my apartment complex got stuck and I couldn't open it. The office replaced the key and said it was fixed, but I still couldn't open it. So I went back to the office to report that it was still stuck and wouldn't you know it . . .
Dumbass guy: So what's going on now?
Me: My mailbox is still broken.
Dumbass: Well does it work?
Me: . . . . would I be standing here telling you it was broken if it did?
Dumbass: I'm not helping you until you fix that attitude problem of yours!
Okay, so perhaps I do have an attitude problem, but this issue with my mailbox has been an ongoing occurrence. In less than a week my mailbox has gotten stuck and "fixed" three times. I've had mail that I was late in receiving due to this and I almost got in trouble because of it, but every time prior to this I've been very polite and patient with the leasing office in having them fix my mailbox. I don't think it's unreasonable that after the 8th or so time of this happening that my patience has worn thin and the fact that the moron left himself open like that didn't help.
Fortunately someone who was actually competent was able to fix my box and I haven't had any issues since, but still, don't get upset with me just because you said something stupid like that. It's your own fault. Learn to analyze what you hear and speak accordingly or get over it.
