Dangerous Incompetence
There are very few professions where incompetence is actually life threatening. I imagine if you’re a professional racing driver, wreck diver, mountain climber or some sort of pilot, then being bad at your job is a fairly short-term activity; but even in those cases it rarely proves fatal. Incompetent soldiers, fighter pilots, policemen and bouncers probably are a danger to themselves, but only occasionally to others. Some people however are only a danger to others; incompetent doctors and nurses for example may endanger the lives of others, but not themselves.
These people I find slightly alarming, they blunder through their lives causing mayhem to others, and are frequently so utterly oblivious that they never notice the harm they cause. I’ve made a list of jobs that incompetent people really shouldn’t be allowed to do.
I’ve had to add incompetent burglars to the list of people who endanger others with their incompetence.
The two who burgled Cassandra’s bedroom gave me great cause for alarm.
