0:00.0	What's the dumbest thing you see every day? And is it funny or just plain sad?
0:06.0	I'm a physician. I doctor specifically. I'll tell you that the longer I work, it's now 15 years,
0:12.0	my standard for the average person continues to decline. Case and point? Thanks to the awful
0:17.2	information filtering out there, I had a patient just last week who read that vitamin D helps you resist a coronavirus infection.
0:23.9	Well, it also read that you can get more vitamin D by getting more sun.
0:28.1	So he wanted to collect as much light as possible with his eyes.
0:33.1	As a result, he stared at the sun for a solid 60 seconds and burned holes directly into his retinas,
0:39.0	permanently reducing his vision with no chance at future improvement.
0:45.1	One grown adult I met said that English is the true language of God because apparently
0:49.8	the Bible is written in English. The amount of people who think Jesus lived in the United States
0:55.0	is astonishing. I used to work and travel, and the amount of people who didn't understand

1:12.7	Arizona. You can't take a cruise from Miami to Hawaii and be back in seven to ten days. No,
1:18.6	the airport is closed due to hurricanes, flood or ice, and you can't demand a flight on a different
1:23.3	carrier out at the same airport in the next hour. Also, no, you didn't just see someone else book that.
1:28.8	Yes, it is a shorter flight for your friends from the East Coast U.S. to the Caribbean than you in
1:33.7	Europe, and no, nobody can change that. Yes, I'll need to see your DD-214 to confirm a military
1:39.8	rate. No, your word that you were in a covert unit will not suffice. And no, I'm not disrespecting
1:46.2	the military because I simply can't take your word for it. Yes, if a passport or visa or travel
1:51.4	vaccination is needed for you to travel, you will need it. And no, a manager can't override this
1:56.5	as it's a government requirement. I've been doing this for six years, and no, your friend's
