Stupid that you
Are these sentences correct:
1) You are stupid that you wasted so much time on something like this.
2) You are stupid for wasting so much time on something like this.
3) You are an idiot that you wasted so much time on something like this.
4) You are an idiot for wasting so much time on something like this.
Meaning: As you spent so much time on something like this, one can say that you are stupid/an idiot.
Maybe they need a comma after 'stupid' and after 'an idiot'?
Gratefully,
Navi.
