Sometimes you are inclined to think that if you expect somebody to do something he is surely capable of doing so until you are pulled out of your dream world and realize that: No, he cannot.
Thanks to the Peter-Principle occasionally it feels like you are surrounded by people that have surpassed their point-of-no-return in terms of their ability to cope with a task.
It so happed that I recently was confronted with a similar situation yet again. Once asked, a group of people could not perform whatever they were asked for. No miracle… (see said principle again). What strikes me as odd is, even after explaining 10 times what I wanted and actually showing how one could achieve this not-so-difficult obstacle 95% of what I said was consequently ignored.
To say it in terms of Hermes the Accountant: “Momma said if you want a box hurled into the sun you have to do it yourself”.
