Surrounded by IDIOTS

I'm surrounded by idiots at work, and if I really think about it, I'm surrounded by them in general. But if I had to nail it down, I'm surrounded at work.

One coworker, although she does have her days where she looks good, is a serious douchette. That's a female douche if you were wondering. She's always on the hunt for a husband. Her first husband left her, probably because she's a whiny prat. I'm not sure what a prat is, but people from England say it all the time so it must be bad.

We were sitting in her office one day working on a project and this guy walks by. She gave this look as he walked by that was something different from an ordinary look. I've seen the guy before but never wondered who he was.

So after seeing the look she gave him I ask, 'Who's that?' She say, 'Oh that's so and so. I thought we were going to get married at one point.' WTF? So I press...

Me: Woah, explain please!
Idiot Girl: Yeah we dated for a year and talked about marriage.
Me: So what happened?
Idiot Girl: I found he had a girlfriend already.
Me: No shit??
Idiot Girl: Yeah, they were dating for three years.
Me: (Faking compassion) Wow, sorry to hear that.
Idiot Girl: I really thought I was going spend the rest of my life with him until I found out he had a serious girlfriend on the side.

Now wait a minute. I think you've got it all wrong, YOU ARE the girl on the side! Freakin' idiot. How do you NOT know someone has a girlfriend already? Especially when you've dated this person for a year??? Wouldn't there be red flags? Wouldn't the fact that he's often absent for long periods of time outside of work tip you off?

I swear some people are idiots.
