30 Times When People Failed At Being Smart

Even smart people do stupid things sometimes. It could be a misunderstanding, a lack of sleep the night before, or just a simple misjudgment, otherwise known as a brainfart, that can strike at any time.

Harsh as it may seem, it is human nature to have a giggle at these funny fails. If you are lucky, you were alone, and the only damage done was a slightly bruised ego. These people, however, had their brainfarts captured on camera for us all to chuckle at! From a simple slip of common sense in funny comments to a glaring lack of logic while trying to deliver the best comebacks, these moments of stupidity collected by us here at Bored Panda will leave you in disbelief, shock, and tears of laughter!

Scroll down below to check these epic fails out for yourself, and share your own stories in the comments!

I think they might want shorter posts, so people have to load the site more often, so they see more ads. If that's indeed the case, maybe the problem could be circumvented by dividing long posts into several smaller ones?

There’s a way to see the rest of the article, at the end there’s a link that takes you there, I can’t figure out how to post the image on mobile but right after the last image it will say “ Note: this post originally had __ images. It’s been shortened to the top __ images based on user votes.” Clicking on the original number of images will bring you to the rest of the article

So as funny as some of these are, this is a SERIOUS epidemic we shouldn't be laughing about. I've been taking note of the decrease in intelligence level every year for about the last 20 years. The other day I read a study out of EU (of all places, not the US) that their intelligence level has been decreasing. It is NOT a coincidence why this is happening. They are poisoning us & those poisons harm our brain. Do your research people. One way to control the masses is to make them weak & stupid.

Oh, I see at least 50 people doing dumb before 9:00AM. And their numbers grow exponentially. Let's hope no one snaps a picture of us smart guys when we do something dumb. And we will. Maybe not epically dumb. But dumb enough to have our picture right next to some other dummies. S**t happens. And we all will step in it eventually.
