Today, I started my new job as a mail carrier. One of my assigned roads was Milbrooke Street, which I'd never heard of. After driving around for ages trying to find it, I called for directions. The street doesn't exist in my city; it's just the boss's way of seeing how stupid you are. FML

That's stupid in the first place. if you're living in a city you very likely aren't going to know the name of EVERY street. Then starting a new job you're obviously going to do your best and look for the feckin place! Anybody would make that mistake. FYL

Time to quit. The boss is the stupid one.

No wonder the USPS is losing so much money!! 2/3 of the management is absolutely useless!!

What are you doing on the road, when you don't know where you are going ? Ever heard of using a map ? I have to agree with your boss on this one!

Total dick. But as a rookie u have to be prepared for pranks.

What a moron, you should have called and told him you found the street. He would keep a "WTF" expression the whole time.

Ignorance isn't the same thing as stupidity. Ignorance is fine (it just means you don't know something), and absolutely every human being is ignorant of a lot of things (think about how big the universe is and wonder what's going on a billion light years from here. No human being knows.). You can still be smart if you're willing to dispel ignorance when it's necessary (i.e. you need to learn something that matters). Stupid people are often ignorant to the point of frustration, but not knowing every street in your city is hardly a dangerous form of ignorance. I surely don't know every street in mine and have learned after living in many cities all over the world that being able to read a map (or operate a GPS) is a far more useful skill since your head can only be filled with so much. ;)
