You know what else makes me feel better about myself?

Stupid people. Especially lazy stupid people.
I work for free at a company (which shall remain nameless). Apparently this is a learning experience, but all Ive really learned so far is how lazy and stupid people can be. We organize one particular large scale event, and I tend to spend about 6 hours a day answering the emails that people send in to us with questions about it.
They are usually always questions which can be simply answered if they took 1 minute to actually read through the information on the website. What boggles my mind is that it often (and yes I did try this out once) takes longer to located the part of the website that provides you with the help/info email address, than it does to find the answer to the question.
And even after answering an average of 100 emails a day, the amount of both laziness and stupidity out there never ceases to amaze me.
My favorite so far was someone who wrote in and was confused about what time tickets would be going on sale. You see we said that they were on sale at 12PM but they were unsure if this meant noon or midnight.
Yea, you read that correctly. Noon or midnight. Mhmm.
