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.

You just commented something dumb, about someone else's dumb comment. "At the rate the U.S. is reusing names". No, man. That rate is very low, because the U.S. isn't founding a bunch of new places everyday. Those names from Europe have already been in place for a few hundred years now after the new world was discovered by Europeans. You stepped on your own balls with that one.

You realize that wasn't Americans who named those places, but European colonists, right? Like the Dutch established New Amsterdam, but then lost the territory to the English (who then changed the name to New York). It happened elsewhere, too ' it's how you get places like Nova Scotia, New Guinea, and New South Wales.

A lot of places within the US were named before they were even part of the US. The 50 states joined the union at different times. The 13 colonies belonged to England. You do the math, and history, on that one. Also, we have just as many places named for the words or names used by Native Americans.

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.

Cousin:"So what have you been up to?"

Me:"I am working on an education grant for the EPA making...."

Cousin:"Oh, so your an environmentalist. I guess not all of them are bad. So what's with those environmentalists that torched all those cars in California? That can't be good for the environment either? Never thought of that, did ya? You know what environmentalist I like? Ellen Degeneris, she's funny. But don't tell my dad I said that."

For 2 painful years at my former employer, I worked for a very dangerous idiot. He got hired in because he rubbed elbows with the right executive, and now this buffoon was responsible for $40M of business of which he had no grasp on reality.

One day he walked around the place praising himself for winning another major contract (everything he "won" wound up being a disaster). I looked into it out of fear and within 5 minutes I discovered that he under-quoted the job by *at least* 50% (wound up being ***far*** worse than that after a more thorough look). I brought this up to him. His response was "Yeah but I sold it at 40% margin."

Former coworker bragged that wine was on sale for 10% off at a local store, so she bought three bottles and saved 30%. We tried to explain to her that it doesn't work that way, but she insisted that it did "for her." Finally one of us said, "Then why didn't you buy ten bottles and get it for free?"

Well, she saved 30 % out of the price of one bottle. If she had bought 10 bottles, she would have gotten 100 % off of ONE bottle.

Your post came up when I was scrolling down and I just want to send you a hug....many years ago my first-born,a little baby boy,was a still-birth.There was no explanation why it was so.It is heart-breakingly difficult to go through a trauma like this. I was lucky my family and friends were very supportive,but I still think of him 50+ years on, and what could have been,Ignore what STUPID people say....best way to go on with your life...I since had two more boys...you will have more children too and I wish you all the best going forward...

My moment was when I was online asking legit questions about LGBTQ+ and some of the stereotypes I had heard, and wanting REAL answers. Some answered with genuine replies, but some I realized are just idiots who like calling names such as (whatever)phobic. --- If a person's go-to answer to someone asking legit questions is trying to insult them, they are complete idiots!

I know a girl who has told me with no sense of sarcasm or irony that she doesn't "believe" in dinosaurs (as in they once existed). When I told her it's not a matter of belief, it's unequivocal fact she just shook her head and said "no, no it's all a conspiracy theory". When I asked her what this conspiracy was hiding she just stared blankly at me and repeated "I don't believe in them".

There have been studies done on the effect on airflow while wearing masks. There is no difference in oxygen levels or c02. The feeling of suffocating or not being able to breathe is exactly that, a feeling. You may panic, but any issue you have with breathing is you doing it to yourself, not the mask doing it.

But I was 200 miles from the final destination. Friend "That kid sticking his tongue on the frozen pole in Christmas Story was fake. No one can get stuck. Oh boy, did I have FUN with that one!!

I got one for ya. Fifth grade. Everyone was stupid, we were fifth graders after all. But there were definitely some people that were the stupidest of the stupid. Music teacher asked me to pick up the instruments from the class to clean up. I agreed (what else was I gonna do?) and everything went smoothly until Abby (not her real name) was next. I tried to pick up her instrument, she pulled back, I asked if she had heard the instructions, she said yes, I said ok so give me the instrument please, she SLAPPED ME, and I’m still bewildered about how those levels of ignorance can come about.

These are my favorites. 1. At a hospital checkup with my son's mother when she was pregnant. The nurses ask her a bunch of background questions. Then are you currently in an abusive relationship?" Lol. I immediately started laughing. They glare at me. I say "Do you think it's smart to ask that with the guy still in the room"? 2. Chatting with a female friend about food and recipes. I tell her I like to go shopping at the Asian market when I get the chance. She asks me what an "Asian market" is. I howl laughing, and ask which part of Asian+market is confusing. She got upset that I was treating her dumb. she is a teacher's assistant.

You're kind of a d**k about the Asian market. I get that the word is somewhat self explanatory, but if you've never been to one, I could see how you would wonder what exactly it is. But no matter what laughing at someone else's lack of knowledge and asking a question to clarify makes you a loser. I can't believe you are proud of "howling laughing" at someone else's lack of knowledge. I could understand a quick chuckle, but belittling someone over it is just pathetic.
