Headaches are a very common symptom when it comes to being sick. Everything from the common cold, influenza, and migraines to various infections, injuries and even more lethal stuff can cause one. Under the right (or not so right) circumstances.

But there’s one thing that causes a headache that is 100% unavoidable, because it can catch you off guard like a slap in the face with a fish that’s just been ejected from the sea. And that is stupidity.

Folks online have been sharing their biggest, most headache-inducing moments of being told something so profoundly stupid that it was immediately obvious.

And we thought it would be great to pass on the headache on to you, our dear reader, in a curated list below. Scroll down, read, enjoy it (the list, not the headache), and leave some upvotes and comments!

40 Times People Encountered Someone So Blatantly Stupid, They Just Had To Share It In This Online Group "Why should I be responsible for my son's late fees?"

I dunno, lady. Maybe because he's 12 and can't get a job yet? Also there's the matter of the letter you and he signed when he got his library card that says you're responsible for any fines on the account, as his parent or legal guardian. Just a shot in the dark.

40 Times People Encountered Someone So Blatantly Stupid, They Just Had To Share It In This Online Group I have seizures and I had somebody ask me if they were contagious. My cousin was right next to me and elbowed me and whispered for me to start coughing. By the way, my cousin is blind and when I started coughing she chucked her cane behind her fake panicking that she suddenly couldn’t see and the guy ran away so he wouldn't “catch the seizures”. My cousin busted out laughing when she heard him run off saying she wished she could see his reaction and that it must have been priceless. I explained what it looked like to her and she fell onto the ground laughing. She’s just as evil too when people ask her dumb questions about her being blind as she had someone ask her today if it was deadly even though she was born blind.

To be fair, you can make (process) oil out of bones. Just not much, very low quality, and it's not fossil fuel any more than olive oil is.

40 Times People Encountered Someone So Blatantly Stupid, They Just Had To Share It In This Online Group Actually a doctor. So hear me out.

September 18th 2021, my mother unfortunately passed away. Her and I both had Covid, as we lived together and unfortunately her body couldn’t handle it. This lead to anxiety, panic attacks, stress, and guilt. I felt like it was my fault for my mother's [passing]. Anyway, to the doctor. I decided in December that I couldn’t go on the way I was. I was never leaving my boyfriend's house. I chose to go to therapy in seek of some help with my issues.

When I got an intake appointment, I had to see a doctor there to prescribe, what I expected to be an antidepressant. The moment I sat down, I already had a weird vibe from him. He was quiet, his tone was dull. We started going over my charts and why I was there, etc. and I told him everything he needed to know. I told him about my guilt, and a prior issue I had even before my mother's [passing]. I have a phobia of vomiting, so I brought it up. This doctor told me to just “throw up”, and i would no longer be afraid. He then proceeded to say that I was a very anxious person who is “on the spectrum”. and finally, the KICKER, he told me all my loved ones would go to hell.

Needless to say, I walked out of there sobbing my eyes out. I called the place to file a complaint and thankfully—haven’t seen that man since.

40 Times People Encountered Someone So Blatantly Stupid, They Just Had To Share It In This Online Group One of my ex-coworkers was convinced that the sun and the moon were the same thing. He thought it turned around at night and became the moon. He was astonished one morning when I pointed to the moon in broad daylight. I thought he was going to have a panic attack. Luckily, we were sharing a joint behind the warehouse and he calmed down a bit. He still didn’t fully understand and kept glancing at the sky for the rest of our shift.

For context, we were watching a Phineas and Ferb movie they were all on a chain over lava. Phineas tells them to let go of the cliff and Candace says something along the lines of “I have 1 word for you! LA-VA!” And then his brother looked at us and proudly said “that’s 2 words, dumba&s”. He was/is notorious for having little to no common sense.

40 Times People Encountered Someone So Blatantly Stupid, They Just Had To Share It In This Online Group Pregnant with my first at the time. Was dragged over to my in-law's place for my husband's birthday lunch or whatever I was required to show my face at. They're not the most intelligent people despite holding degrees, but this is forever burned in my mind:

" ...don't let your OB do the ultrasound too long! No more than 10 seconds or you'll fry the baby alive!"

My MIL teaches ultrasound technology at a local college. And she told me this. She was always into fear mongering, but good god, all I could do was stare at her dumbfounded and eventually say, "uh, no, that's not how ultrasounds work..."

Bonus just because it's a common stupidity. My FIL claims you can't get COVID if you're vaccinated. He works in the medical field.

40 Times People Encountered Someone So Blatantly Stupid, They Just Had To Share It In This Online Group Years ago, I was living in South Dakota and went to Michigan to visit family for Christmas.

My aunt asked me if the cold weather in Michigan was bothering me. I confusingly told her that the weather in South Dakota is about the same, if not colder. She was shocked and said she didn't remember seeing any cold spells on the weather channel, in the South.

That's when it dawned on me that she thought South Dakota was in the south part of the US because it has the word "south" as part of the name.

My whole view of her shattered at that moment.

40 Times People Encountered Someone So Blatantly Stupid, They Just Had To Share It In This Online Group Bit of a story but many a year ago I was eating with my now ex. It was 2am, and an older lady came into the place and asked if someone can give her a ride home, her car had broken down, she worked in the plaza and showed us her work ID, so we gave her a ride, wasn't very far. No idea how the conversation ended up about jurassic Park but it did. She said she took her kids to see it when it came out and one of them asked "how do they keep the dinosaurs from running out of the view of the camera?" We all laughed and she said "you believed he asked that???" My ex said "idk maybe they have people off camera making sure they stay in the shot?" Both look at my ex in complete disbelief. She didn't understand why we were shocked until I said "they were CGI tiff..." the sudden realization on her face was incredible.

40 Times People Encountered Someone So Blatantly Stupid, They Just Had To Share It In This Online Group “Don’t run outside in the winter, your lungs will crystallize. It’s not good for you.” Said while smoking a cigarette.

Yes, the WATER in your lungs can crystallize and destroy your cells at very low temperatures, but I did some reading and sports doctors say there’s no chance of this happening above -50C/-68F. It was the sanctimonious dismissal of running as a healthy activity combined with the idea of a lung somehow crystallizing (?) that sealed the deal for me on this one.
