Hey Pandas, What Is The Stupidest Thing Anyone Has Ever Said To You?
People can be ridiculous sometimes. (actually most of the time tbh)

One of my first jobs was as a cashier for a local grocery store. A woman came up to me holding an apple, and asked in a demanding voice, "is this apple vegetarian?". I said it's an organic apple, of course it is. She sneered, and said, "how can it be vegetarian if it's not a vegetable?!". Ugh. Face palm

Not stupid in itself but because of who said it.
I was applying for a master in animal behaviour and the teachers asked me to send them some paper that i wrote from my previous degree. So I sent them one that I was quite proud of about the Permian extinction (a extinction around 250my ago). Its the period of time before the Triassic (more famous).
I went to meet the coordinators of the master and one of them was very upset about the paper "because I didnt mention mammals. Why didnt I mention mammals?". Now this woman was supposedly a mammal expert so I was very shocked. I told her that I didnt mention them because mammals appeared in the triassic, so after the extinction (actually i mentioned them at the end but i guess that she didnt read that far). She didnt believe me until the other teacher confirmed it.
I mean it is totally normal to not know when mammals evolved. But if you are supposedly a "mammal expert" and you are grading a paper perhaps you should know that? Or at least google it?

I was born and raised in Italy, moved to the States in my early 20s, so I still have an accent. 😊
While their thought process very endearing, it never ceases to amaze me when people ask me where I'm from:
Them: I hear an accent, where are you from?
Me: Rome
Them: Rome, Georgia?
Me: Rome, Italy 🤗
Them: Oh cool! Do you happen to know such such?
Me: Doesn't ring a bell 🤔...
(Rome is about 4 million people... And I'm an introvert 😂)

1 Space was created by Disney to further the hoax of space/earth being round. He was dead serious, and he quoted “his own brain after much research” as his source. I wish I was kidding.
2 You shouldn’t wear a seatbelt because, in the event of a crash, you’re better off being thrown out of the car than being trapped in it.
3 You can only get covid-19 if you get bitten by someone who had it.

A girl I lived with was waiting for her water to boil in the kitchen. I noticed she had the burner on low. When I asked her “Why is it on low?” She said she didn’t want to burn her water.
She also thought cheese came from chickens.

When my daughter (now 8) was about 3, she loved Batman and had a little Batman figure she carried around like most kids use a stuffed toy or blankie. One time, we were at the laundromat, and I struck up a conversation with another customer. We were just chatting about this and that until she noticed that my daughter had this Batman toy. She asked me why my daughter had that toy instead of a baby doll. I didn't really think anything of the question, so I just shrugged and said that it's what she wanted. I mentioned that my husband and I are both into gaming and science fiction and fantasy, so she probably picked it up from us. This woman got kind of a pinched look on her face and said that parenting like that is why we have a "trans problem." I was so taken aback by the way she just blurted that statement that I couldn't even respond.

I worked one summer during college at a hotel restaurant in southwestern Virginia, which is a rural, mountainous area of the state. There was a very opinionated, older local woman who worked there too. Somehow the topic of evolution came up and her response was "Ain't nobody gonna tell me my great great great grandpappy was a monkey".

“No, I don’t eat any animals.”
“What about chicken?”
“No.”

“No, Paula, I don’t eat any animals at all.”

I am a designer by profession.
Some then often say “Designers are totally creative” 🙄. Nope. We are no more than anyone else. We solve challenges our own way. From my point of view everyone gets creative in their own way to solve challenges…
Or some say: "You designers are really good at drawing" Nope. 98% of the designers I know can't even scribble. Illustrators are very good at drawing ...

This one just kills me. Teams of actual researchers have to do research to earn their masters and doctorates, and they research their specialties that they devoted years or decades to, but if iknowmorethanscientists6969 on the Don’t Tread on Me channel on YouTube says it’s a hoax, well, his misunderstanding of the Old Testament and the Second Law of Thermodynamics is the more valid opinion.

Had a lovely couple stop me on the highway while I was walking my dogs (they were driving) to ask me where the island was (it used to be a big camping area that was connected to the highway by manmade causeway, but several years of flooding and major storms have made a mess of things). When I told them where it was (by the way, there is ONE paved road here and it turns off from one highway and ends at the island/lake) the man then asked me if he could get to the neighbouring state from said island.

A woman once asked me if tuna was poultry or fish. We were both waiting in line at safeway, it was the first time i visited the USA.
to me it's obvious, it's fish. so i went home, told my husband about it and said one of the most idiotic and ignorant sentences of my life: "what a stupid person"
actually i was the stupid one. and arrogant.
the tuna i was buying was called "chicken of the sea", the question was really smart. and i should not be this judging.
