30 People Share The Absolute Dumbest Things They’ve Heard Come Out Of Someone’s Mouth

ADVERTISEMENT

We’re always told by kind and caring teachers that “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.” And while this sentiment can be helpful in classrooms to ensure students feel safe, there comes a point in our lives where we learn that there actually are dumb questions. And we should probably keep them between us and Google…

One curious Reddit user recently asked others to share the dumbest things they’ve ever heard people say, and boy, did they deliver. From ignorant assumptions about history to blatant medical misinformation, there’s no end to what people will say stupid things about. Enjoy scrolling through these replies that might make you feel like a genius, and be sure to upvote the ones that make you facepalm!

Him : I've been doing pretty good, haven't had pasta in 2 weeks.

Me : That's awesome, what's that you got in your hand there?

Him : Mac and Cheese.

Me : I thought you said you haven't had pasta in 2 weeks?

Years ago, I lived in Hawaii and when I moved back to the mainland, it took me a couple of months to get the plates on my car changed to the state I had moved too. More than once, people would see my Hawaii license plates on my car and ask me how I got the car to the mainland, to which I'd explain that I'd taken the toll bridge, and that it was a b*****h to do because it took 8 hours, there's a toll booth every 30 miles that required exact change, and only 2 rest stops along the way. The looks on their faces was priceless! (of course, I had the car shipped, but that's not a fun story, is it?)

As I live among Brit expats in France who aren't quite as bright as you'd like to believe they should be, pounds are not equivalent to euros!! AND Learn the language - a coque is a bivalve not a euphemism for bollocks. On a beach where I taught our kids to dig for coques (clams), my Brit friend got her panties in a twist when I asked her to hold my coques. (bag of clams) I was surprised she was offended as she's a swinger but didn't know the French term for these clams! And she's lived in France for 20 years!!

Are Hawaian dollars actually the same as regular US dollars? In the UK, the individual countries can issue their own notes. It is not unusual for shops in England to turn their noses up at Scottish money. It is all still legal tender and can be spent in any part of the UK. It does make checking for counterfeit notes harder as staff need to be trained on all variations.

You are talking the difference between separate COUNTRIES and separate states. It would be like London having different currency from Manchester.

Charity Angel 1 year ago

Actually, the only properly legal tender in the UK is the Bank of England notes. The others are just widely accepted. Some Scottish notes were easier to forge than BoE, so there were a lot of counterfeit ones floating around about 30 years or so ago, so shops south of the border stopped taking them. Pain in the bum when your entire family is Scottish, so anything they give is Scottish, but you live in England. Places are much better now though, fortunately, but I still ask on the odd occasion I'm paying in cash with a Scottish note. (Also, I miss the £1 note, it was much lighter and less bulky)

A lot of US service members serving in Okinawa will order car from the PX before coming back to the US mainland. They were shipped to the port of Seattle where the soldier or sailor picked them up. They already had a license plate & registration from Guam. My buddy picked up his car & was stopped multiple times by the state police, local cops, & even the MPs. He had non-American tags on his car.

There for a while, money in Hawaii was slightly different than the stuff you paid with on the mainland. This was during WW2, in case Japan captured Hawaii. The money would cease to be legal tender in that case.

The worry is that some of these people are in a position of power, the educational system has a lot left to be desired and WTF is wrong with these people, is sense a thing of the past!!!

You can't talk of "the educational system" because it's different in every country. In some countries, children only get minimal schooling, and sometimes not even on the American language! Common sense has never been common.

It's depressing that examples of human stupidity no longer surprise me. They worry me...but they don't surprise me.

The good news is that I no longer feel dumb. The bad news is that I had an aneurysm reading these stories.

A guy I worked with last year, young, in his early 20s, and he was adamant that "the Jews invented taxes".

I work in an audiology clinic. We sell hearing aids. A client once asked me what the difference was between the battery operated and the rechargeable hearing aids. 😳

Thanks BP for finding such real examples of dumb. Only one wasn't dumb (it was deliberately stated ambiguously) and only one was due to a common temporary brain malfunction.

I work as a shipping clerk one of the rules is you must get a copy of every drivers license, or photo ID. Had a driver come in one day & flat out refused to let me make a copy of his license, so I had to get my manager involved (no ID no load). He argued with my manager saying we were going to steal his identity. Finally he handed over his military ID (retired). I looked at it and said "sir this has your social security number on it." He then said in all seriousness "if you were steal my identity from my military ID then it would be a federal crime." 🙄

Federal law prohibits unauthorized copying of the military ID. He should know that.

On some days, the dumbest thing anyone can say to me is "Good Morning". I'm awake. I'm at work. Day already has two strikes on it.

I think not. Well, I am, but that's a different matter.

Three women are sitting in an OB office. One says "I was on top so I'm having a boy" Next one says "I was on the bottom so I'm having a girl" Last one starts sobbing uncontrollably "I...I'm.....having puppies!"
