People who quote statistics, without actually having performed any kind of census
Like, "Well, I would say over 50% of people on benefits are just playing the system" or "Probably 60% of people in Council flats are drug addicts"

Based on what exactly? There's a guy in my work who does this all the fucking time

Besides, everyone knows 75% of all statistics are made up on the spot

You made that 75% up, didn't you?

You might want to add incorrect statistics or poorly done statistical research to your post.


*this reply is only 63.5% true.

83.624% of statistics were made up on the spot...or maybe I made that up.

by some chance finish each of these sentences with "you couldn't make this up" as well? that would be the icing on the cake.
