He asked me to 'make the software do X or Y depending on what the user wanted when they clicked the button'. I asked what he meant, he got upset, told me it was simple. If the user wants X to happen when they click the button, do that! If they want Y to happen when they click the button, do that! At first I thought maybe he meant there was some other way to figure that out from context.. but no, ultimately he meant 'read the users mind and intent when they click the button'.

I was working for a contracting company and doing work for a hospital. I started off just hooking up and moving PCs. Really basic stuff that anyone who can walk and chew gum could figure out. And a lot of the people they hired had a hard time with that.

After the project was done the hospital realized I wasn't a moron and kept me around. I worked my way up to a system admin level job. And the contracting company had to cut my pay. I asked for a raise and explained to them how I was doing far more advanced work but I heard the stupidest thing I've ever been told.

My "boss" ( all he did was sign a check ) explained to me by getting a $2/hr pay cut I will be better off because I will be paying less taxes. I started off making $16/hr.

My contract ended a bit later and I got hired on directly and got a really nice raise.

When I was playing WoW and every guild having their own forum was a thing, a guild member posted some photos of his kills from a hunt.

Now it’s important to say that at the time I didn’t have strong opinions on hunting, and this in particular is not the point of the stupid statement, but is the cause of it.

The whole guild of members made fun of him for killing defenseless animals to the point where he made the following comment, slightly paraphrased because it’s been 18 years:

“OH YEA WELL YOU GUYS THINK YOURE SO INNOCENT GOING IN AND KILLING RAGNAROS EVERY WEEK AND ALL OF THOSE RAID BOSSES?”

To be clear, he was comparing actually hunting a defenseless animal to killing bosses in a video game, and yes he was very serious.

I'm a visual editor here at Bored Panda and I enjoy a good laugh. My work ranges from serious topics related to toxic work environments and relationship difficulties to humorous articles about online shopping fails and introvert memes. When I'm not at my work desk, checking if every single pixel is in the right place, I usually spend my free time playing board games, taking pictures, and watching documentaries

Oh, did you hear the one about the boat, boat battery, and the sharks? If it wasn't so worrying that this man is running for president again, it would have been hilarious.

I was watching "Schindler's List" with a friend. A half-hour into the movie she said "What war is this?" About an hour into the movie she said "You mean they were doing all of these terrible things to people just because they were Jewish?" She was a college graduate.

If her parents, school, or friends didn't talk about it, she didn't know all the facts. I say she's mostly innocent in her question if her upbringing supports what I said.

I once made a comment about a concentration camp only to discover that the person I was speaking with thought a concentration camp was somewhere you went to meditate. He was in his twenties and had never heard of them.

My roommate insists that ALL kittens are born with lice. Also, we had gotten a new kitten and I was trying to figure out how old she was. He told me she was 10 weeks because he saw her poo and kittens don't poo until they are 10 weeks old. LOL! He's pretty consistent with general stupidity.

My sister-in-law once came up with a classic. Talking about someone she knew who had been in an accident, she announced, 'He was a vegetable. Like, literally a vegetable.' Actually, if he was literally a vegetable, he'd be, like, literally an actual vegetable. She's about as dumb as, like, a literal vegetable.

Worked in a school and got into an argument with a teacher's aide - she thought Alaska was an island ... next to Hawaii ... a few miles off the coast of southern California. I had to get a globe out and show her where they were. This led to my realization that she also believed Canada was in Europe, Mexico was in South America, and the US was "just a big island" 🫣

Many United States maps have Alaska and Hawaii in a little box on the lower left. That is why a surprising number of people think Alaska is an island.

Got a phone call. caller "What'cha doing?" "watching a movie." "what movie?" "North by Northwest." "Is it any good?" "It's great! A classic! One of Alfred Hitchcock's best work." "Who's Alfred Hitchcock?"

I once had a woman ask me for advice. She was planning to sell her house, and it needed new carpet, but she was concerned that people might not like the color of the new carpet. I suggested researching the cost of new carpet, and telling prospective buyers that she had lowered the price for the house to allow them to put in whatever kind they wanted. Her reply was "But what if I did that, and they bought the house, and then didn't get new carpet?" I believe that in her mind she thought she'd somehow be cheated if that happened.

Once sold a house with a swimming pool. Just before completion (UK) the buyer decided she didn't want a pool, and wanted £10k off so that she could fill it in. (We declined, and basically the sale did go through at the agreed rate)

The dumbest statement I've ever heard came from my mom. She asked if I was sad, and I said no. Then she said, "Good. We don't do depression". Like, what does that even mean? You think I WANT to be mentally ill?!

Oh my goodness! I hope you and your daughters are receiving love and care in your recovery from this horrible trauma?🫶 May the person who committed this despicable act be punished in a way that they deserve and no mercy given!

My husband and I used to play cards with another newly wed couple early in our marriage. Once I was the dealer and shuffled the cards a whole bunch of times. The other couple insisted that "if you shuffle more than three times, the cards will come back around" to the arrangement they were in when you started. My husband and I were baffled and asked them to clarify. They both insisted you couldn't shuffle the cards more than Three times or it was like you'd never shuffled them at all. Both people were masters degree students and otherwise quite intelligent. My husband and I still crack up about this situation 24 years later.

My dad told the story of why he divorced his first wife (in the 1950's, btw) because he was talking to her about this interesting book he read about the American Civil War and she just looked at him and said, "we won that one, right?" And he had three kids with her! One of whom is a perpetual stoner without a real job, one went AWOL from the army and disappeared, and the third one, well, her name is Karen, so... yeah

however, Im not immune to stupidity either... I remember in Jr. High we were reading The Outsiders and we had to do a mock trial on the robbery scene and I was on the defense and something made me say "no one can steal that much stuff from a store, how could he carry it all?' without realizing that he robbed the store of money... yeah that's why I'm not a lawyer :-D
