Incapable Capabilities

This segment of incapable capabilities is geared towards the many headaches of working with a university or college and the many perfectly competent staff members who fuel this fire. At this anonymous Detroit university, the cases of incapability are immense in proportion to the number of seemingly capable faculty. Certain ethnic groups tend to lead the way in these incapacities. To avoid persecution, I strongly believe this to be circumstancial and/or coincidental.
Today, I was attempting to speak with an academic advisor concerning class scheduling and pre-requisites. I wish I would've had one of my patented, monsterous farts festering in my loins for this so-called professional to enjoy. First off, it was open to the public today for the academic advisors so I had to wait for about two hours to get my number called as if I was in a Jewish Delicatessen. But, I am a recently converted Buddhist follower; therefore, I possess patience and a hookah.
I assumed that my patience would pay off in the form of a quality academic advising meeting. Mind you, it's not a very difficult occupation. All you have to do, for me, is look up what classes I need to be in for the upcoming semester to fulfill my degree requirements. It's all electronic! It's probably comparable to doing a Google search in terms of technical difficulty. This guy had degrees from an Ivy League school on his wall. I had to ask him if they were counterfeit. He was adamant. It's not such a horrible question. This was proceeding the half of an hour it took him to find, on his computer, only three of the necessary classes. I asked him if he was purposefully wasting my time so that he won't have to deal with more students because time was nearing an end for the department to shut down. Once again, he was adamant. As am I, now, from this difficult situation. ...and that is the first ever segment of incapable capabilities. Adio.
