Known a few who were extremely well educated...masters degrees and PhDs from prestigious universities, but definitely lacking in common sense or people skills.

My ex husband was a math genius, but dumb af and completely apathetic

I’ve known some extremely intelligent people over the years with absolutely no common sense lol

@Fairydust can’t learn, or be taught common sense. Just gotta have it not all do 😉
@Fairydust I know people like that. In my experience, they just seem oblivious to the obvious and make far reaching associations of logic. Kind of like, if A=B and B=D, then A=C because it's in the middle.

Not hope or a future -. A dead end.

My father did 38 years to the military I don’t know if I would’ve done that, but the smartest man I know

That sounds like me. I tried many hard ways for no reason. I admit I am slow learner. The way I learnt is different compared to normal people. And I like challenge but when people disagree I feel down. 😔

Since then, I self sabotaging myself.
This reminded me of a former boss. Very bright, accomplished, CEO of her own company.

She drove a BMW and she left the office one afternoon but returned immediately, very stressed because "the battery on my unlock remote is dead and I can't get into my car."

She asked me to come see if I could help.

I showed her how to open the door using the actual key, which was dangling from the remote fob.
@Mamapolo2016 One of my kids pushed back on me when I paid for On Star. Kept telling them to get the app on their phone. One day I get a call they locked their keys in the car when it was sub-zero out. I had the door unlocked in 5 minutes. They installed the app...
@BrewCityBarfly The moments parents live for.

My cousin. He graduated high school at an early age went to college got a degree. But he insists on working at a call center when he literally has the potential to work in any scientific field. Drives me crazy.
@SkeetSkeet I swear, I also knew some people driving me crazy with stuff like that. I handed a gift lead to someone running their own business. I mean, it was a sure thing. He completely dropped the ball. Years later after he went out of business, he made a comment to me about never getting a break when he was in business and I'm like [b]WTF[/b]!

I have worked with a number of Ph.D.s, managed a few, and have a few as good friends. All are very smart in their areas of expertise, but I can think of one whom I could not trust because he had absolutely no sense of time. He could not meet any schedule, even for lunch.
@exexec That's interesting, as an artist, I know I can get wrapped up in something and completely lose track of time.
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
That would be myself. I am an absolute genius that does some completely dumb chit. I struggle with simple things🙄
@LilPrincess I should have said "you can't nominate yourself" LOL. You're probably being too hard on yourself, everyone does dumb shiz once in a while.
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
@BrewCityBarfly darn...I do work with a lot of know it alls that know nothing.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
I'd leave it alone. Everyone else around him will figure it out.

Besides only a dolt goes from IT to staffing recruiter.
@HoraceGreenley Actually, I did leave it alone, and I think they did figure it out as that is the last job he had from what I can tell.

@ElRengo How so?

@BrewCityBarfly
He haves some potential skills that he never developed and seems fine with that.
Architect and never did about once ended uni.
He once was a wanna be musician with not so bad qualities for and let that sleep lifelong.
He makes good money as artistic manager mainly cos he cares about no one.
He is a friend of everybody but haves no friends.
Not a bad guy but neither specially good.
Never pusued a thing, not even my Ex, she put him in the purse.
I hope him the best but don´t envy him.
