ignorant

You know that moment when you’re talking to someone and you just realize that they are ignorant and you wonder why you’re stuck in a car with them or sitting at dinner with them and at the moment you would rather just get up and leave the vicinity of such person. Its like an ah-ha moment and it happened tonight.

We were driving through Alamo, CA because I missed the freeway exit and I know the area, so I thought I’d take a scenic way home except I was in the car with the wrong person. Anyways, we’re driving through Alamo and he said isn’t it funny that a town was named after “with ice cream” and I said “huh?” And he said Alamode. At the moment, I realize that he’s seriously ignorant. Um, the town is called Alamo and it means cottonwood in Spanish. I tried to explain that but he kept insisting it was called Alamode and preceeded to explain to me what alamode meant, I’m not stupid or ignorant, I know what it means but it had nothing to do with the name of the town.

You know what is funny though, when he tries to impress people from Alamo or Danville with his knowledge of how Alamo was named, its just going to make him look stupid or maybe that’s not all that funny, its kind of sad.
