I am a gullible person. Not on big issues such as global
warming or outrageously stupid stuff like 99.5% of conspiracy theories. I
don’t believe the moon landing was faked or that Elvis is still alive.
However, if you send me this image, I will fall for it hook
line and sinker:
Is anyone else out there low-level gullible? Small well-told
fibs can totally throw you off? Not always, not about anything important, just
the sort of line that a few second later you think ‘Hang on…’
The only time my low-level gullibility hasn’t got the better
of me was when someone did the old ‘Did you know you can’t lick your own elbow’
trick? But I COULD! HA!
Is anyone else quietly gullible? I suspect it is a rare
trait in our cynical over-informed modern world.
Completely! I always think people are being serious, when they're not - especially my father-in-law, which is always awkward when everyone else realises he's pulling your leg.
