Foolish teacher accuses her coworker of stealing books from his classroom library because he’s reading them during his lunch break: ‘You shouldn’t have to be told that stealing is wrong’
Although it’s obvious we are constantly surrounded by stupidity, harshly judging someone else’s intelligence can feel mean or unnecessary.
