stupidity

there is always a thought on my mind that stupidity is the worst sin in human kind. never really allow myself to follow the step leading to stupidity. everything i interested, i always asking for the best possible solution available and sometimes even attend classes for that. this kind of attitude always keeps me away from trouble except it is much slower and cost more. and i am leading a knowledgeable life ever since.

yesterday, a friend of mine reminds me to sell my cell phone saying even a broken one could cash back a little bit. wow, no need any class to tell the different of more cash, isn't it? that cell phone is not particularly my favorite one, besides it lets me down first by not speaking to me in the first place.

"there you go" i handed to the lady sitting in Sai Yeung Choi Street. she told me the price where it gonna be. of course, i knock my head and thinking for a broken one - not bad. hee hee... it is a home run, isn't it? the very next second she actually start testing the phone by using her card and i start sweating immediately no idea whether it was the weather or what. there comes the worst part, over a minute of pressing this and pushing that button, she start talking through the phone. what? even she don't speak proper kantongese but i have reasons to believe she should play around cell phones better than i do. or should i start taking courses for proper handling cell phone? that was a rollercoster moment. from thinking that i might cash back something out of a junk to knowing the cell could actually do it's job. there is a word could describe all - stupidity.

the good bit is, it just a cell phone. the worst bit is, i don't see any sign that it won't happens again.
