Basically, induhviduals are people we see who do or say funny/ stupid things in every day life.

Would you like to share some of your experiences?


Yes, it is no secret by now I am a Dilbert fan (see Avantar).

The Dilbert website states that the future world will be made up of two kinds of people...

The amazingly intelligent and inexplicably attractive members of Dogbert's New Ruling Class, and

The dimwitted future servants of the DNRC, known as Induhviduals.

A lot of people on the board have the opportunity to become members of the DNRC.

What I want to know is - how many people here have come across classic cases of Korean or foriegn Induhviduals to share with the rest of us for a laugh?

I just know there have been so many cases for me, but I have a mental block when trying to remember them.

Is your boss an Induhvidual? I know mine is!

For those of you who need an example, here is one from the website.

"At the grocery store, the checkout woman scanned all of my items then picked up the rubber divider and looked it over for the bar code so she could scan it. She asked, "Do you know how much this is?"

I said, "I've changed my mind, I don't think I'll buy that today."

She said, "Okay." I paid her and left."

- Induhvidual Sighting, from Dilbert Newsletter 38.0

I think we will find induhvidualism to be a common phenomenon her in Korea. So, let's hear your stories.

Hey Sorry Rapier,

Basically your stories of people who do and say funny and/ or foolish things in the course of work and everyday life.

I also fixed it a little.

Do you have any funny stories?

C'mon I know you do.
