How to Deal with Idiots
Albert Einstein once said, "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." But it doesn't take a genius to realize we are all surrounded by idiots. Not only that, but we are all idiots at some point. Dealing with this common human condition is unavoidable, but some ways of dealing with it are better than others
Step1
Realize you can not change them. They are who they are, just as you are who you are. If you feel you can teach them something, go for it, but understand they may just see the world differently than you.
Step2
Ignore their behavior if it is not harming you or anyone else. If the only thing wrong is you are annoyed, fix the entire problem by letting it go.
Step3
Be where idiots are not. When you encounter an idiot, make a mental note of where that person is likely to be in the future and try to be somewhere else. Do not put yourself in a position of being controlled by an idiot, such as having a boss for an idiot. Realize if you have a problem dealing with idiots, it is best to avoid them.
Step4
Improve your own self confidence to ensure yourself that you know what is right. This will help you to worry less about others and therefore help you deal with idiots.
Step5
See the humor in idiots behavior. Holding back anger and frustration is not good because it will build up. However, releasing it can be dangerous as well. Laughter is a great way to relieve tension safely. Laugh to yourself and enjoy the wild, crazy and diverse world we live in.

If you don't see something coming and it hits you like a ton of bricks, does that make you an idiot. If the answer is, yes, then I'm an idiot.
