I’m really trying to rack my brain about the dumbest thing someone has ever said to me and I gotta say that it’s pretty hard to narrow it down because there are so many qualified candidates.

I guess I’m just blessed…

Are you ready to meet some dummies?

Let’s dig in to some stories from AskReddit users.

1. Well, that’s odd…

“I work in a Government building, one day one of my college educated coworkers asked why there are doctors in the building moving furniture.

Having no clue what she was talking about I asked and she said you know all the guys in scrubs with DOC on the back.

We had hired prisoners to help clear the offices for renovation. DOC was for Department of Correction.”

2. Shocked.

“I was staying at a homestay/language center in South Korea last summer.

I was hanging around with some people and were chatting in English. One lovely lady, with all seriousness, said straight to my face that I don’t look like I’d speak English.

I mean…I’m ethnic Chinese and hold an ASEAN passport but English is a lingua franca like WE LEARN ENGLISH OVER HERE OKAY?

Anyway, sorry for surprising/shocking/amazing/disappointing you?”

3. Not really.

“I’m Jewish and while talking to someone about Hannukah, they said “Oh, that’s the Jewish Christmas.”

Ummm, no.”

4. It’s not fair!

“A student of mine wrote in the class evaluation: “One teacher doesn’t accept wrong answers.”

Still haunts me to this day….”

5. History buff.

“Guy online insisted the millions dead during WWII died only of Typhus.

I pointed out that guards would have died too, plus we had eyewitness accounts and testimony under oath from those who had “gassed” prisoners.

He refused to believe it.”

6. Oh, that’s why?

“I didn’t hear it, but apparently a kid in my social studies test said that Africans came here from Africa because it was better for people and they needed help.

My teacher literally called him an idiot. I’m talking about the slave trade, guys.”

7. SCIENCE.

“Someone in my 8th grade honors science asked the teacher “If we had 86 chromosomes, would we be a duck?”

The teacher and the rest of the class had a good laugh on that one.”

8. Only three states.

“A Puerto Rican girl friend of mine (living in the Bronx at the time) once said, in a group discussion about the different states we had visited, that she had only been to 3 states: New York, New Jersey, and upstate New York. (wait, what???)”

9. When’s Christmas?

“Back around the mid 1990s, when the internet was becoming common in homes, I used to chat in chat rooms.

I chatted to a girl who was about 20 at the time, from the US (me being in Australia.). She was talking about the heat, and I said it was winter here. I said our seasons were the opposite of the US.

So she says “So it’s summer in December there?”, I say yes, then she asks, in all seriousness, “Well when do you have Christmas, then?”.

Definitely the dumbest thing I’ve been asked, and still remember it 20 odd years later.”

10. Makes sense.

“I was in 5th grade and this kid sad that Jesus and Santa Claus are actually brothers but Santa left His family and did drugs.”

11. We need to talk.

“We went to Colorado and my brother back in Maryland, where it was fall, asked if it was summer in Colorado.”

12. That’s all it took.

“That apes evolved into humans when they learned to cook.”

13. You need some new friends.

“I have a friend who pretends to be rich, and once I told her about how I sometimes get bored of watching TV and she said, “well go outside and play on your go-carts, DUH. Oh yeah, you don’t have go-carts.”

Another time another friend (who was not very nice) told me I shouldn’t have given her a gift because I used it before. I said I was sorry to avoid an argument because she was always fighting with me, but I still want that thing back!”

14. Jeez.

“In the military, I had over a year of training in my highly technical field.

At my first duty station, I was sent to the Top Sergeants’ office and told since I was female, I would be working there, typing up documents. I replied that I couldn’t type, but I could repair the typewriter since I was trained in electronics repair.

They sent me back to the shop and got a trained office clerk.”

How about you?

What do you think is the dumbest thing a person has ever said to you?

I want you to think long and hard for a minute…

Okay, what did you come up with? Actually, hold that thought and save your stories for the comments section.

But first…

Let’s take a look at some really dumb things people actually said to folks from AskReddit.

1. A bright one.

“My sister, at 17 and a half years of age, said: “Is that why they’re called containers? Because they contain things?””

2. Not here to serve you.

“When I was around 10 my older brother had a friend who hung out at our place a lot.

One day as I walked through the room where the two of them were watching TV the friend stopped me. Apart from saying hello we never talked to each other before. He said I could pop into the kitchen and make some pancakes for them.

I said I wasn’t there to serve them and I didn’t even know how to make bloody pancakes. His stunned answer: “but… you’re a girl!””

3. The periodic table.

“A girl in 8th grade honors science asks, after our pleas and explanations that she shouldn’t embarrass herself, raises her hand and asks so the entire class can hear, “Why isn’t wood on the periodic table?”

I never liked her anyways.”

4. Not sure what that means.

“I overheard a kid in middle school tell his friend that Canadian hippies are legal when they cross the US/Canada border.”

5. It was faked!

“Get this: the moon landing was faked by Russian scientists trying to get us not to go to the moon.

And all of the astronauts were replaced by Russian clones.

Said by a kid in class…”

6. Science class.

“In 7th grade science, we were learning about fossils. Not a super in depth lesson, but just how they are created and how the affect the earth.

If you’ve never heard about Lucy, she was apparently found in a lake bed, fossilized from about 3 million years ago. She is one of the first “humanoid thingies” ever found.

Anyway, so we watched a video about her, and then the whole class was talking and suddenly a girl raised her hand and said, “how do they know what her name was?” and we had to legit explain it to her that scientists named her.

She was serious.”

7. Major eye roll.

“I am the product of an Irish American father and a Mexican mother (she is still a Mexican citizen).

In grade school, with mostly a Hispanic population, I was told that my mother was not Mexican because she wasn’t brown and didn’t have an accent.

My mom grew up speaking 3 languages, including English, from childhood. All I could do was roll my eyes at the ignorance.”

8. They’re out there…

“A friend of mine tried to convince me that mermaids were real.

His reasoning was because he saw the mockumentary about mermaids on discovery channel and were convinced they were real.

I expected that from my 6 year old niece but not from a 29 year old man.”

9. How rude!

“When I was 12 someone in my class asked if we could be friends.

I said no because she screamed at me every time I was late to class but then called me rude if I talked back (she was one of those kids that thought she was a teacher).

She said “BuT yOu ShOuLdN’t NoT bE fRiEnDs WiTh SoMeOnE jUsT bEcAuSe ThEy’Ve BeEn MeAn To YoU””

10. The trifecta.

“The earth is flat, the moon landing was fake, and my all time favorite, Karens aren’t a threat to society.”

11. Good Lord.

“My friend was pressuring me to take off my mask, she kept saying inhaling your own germs can kill you, especially when you’re breathing heavy.

Let’s just say, we don’t get along as well as we used to anymore.”

12. Wrong!

“”I went on a vacation to Hawaii and swam with Tortoises.”

This was my teacher, and he wouldn’t believe me that Tortoises couldn’t swim even after I looked it up.

He though Turtles from Hawaii were called Tortoises.”

13. Mullet lady.

“One time I was at Petco with my parrots and some random lady came and told me ”The only animal that should be here are dogs and they must have a face covering on”.

I know this sounds fake but this lady was wearing a mullet anything is possible.”

How about you?

The post People Discuss the Dumbest Thing a Person Has Ever Said to Them appeared first on UberFacts.

The world is full of…folks who aren’t too bright…

And we’re about to meet a whole bunch of them! Because people were nice enough to go on the record and share the stupidest things that folks have ever said to them.

Let’s get stupid with some folks on AskReddit!

1. Don’t assume.

“I was at McDonald’s a couple of years ago inside with my mom. She let me order, and I asked for a happy meal and listed everything I wanted in that meal and then I said “Oh! And can I please have the dragon toy?”

Because, beyond my wildest dreams, McDonald’s finally had a plastic dragon. But the employee said “Don’t you want the girl prize?” and held up some weird fruit scented doll.

FIRST off, please don’t assume gender (even though I am female), and second, ENOUGH WITH THE GENDER SORTING, I LIKE DRAGONS AND NOT DOLLS, OKAY!?!?”

2. Evolution.

“When discussing human evolution I said that all modern humans descended from Africans. A Croat chipped in and said ‘except Croatians, we are autochthons’.

I asked him to explain and he said that Croatians independently appeared in Croatia, without evolving from monkeys or descending from Africans.

I literally did not known where to begin, such was the historical and anthropological disconnect. I can only surmise that there is a strange sect of fact-free nationalism to which he subscribed.”

3. Wait, it’s not?

“My ex sister-in-law thought Canada was in France, cause they speak French….

Seriously!!

4. I’m not buying it.

“Somebody once told me, if a person knows how to say “hello” “my name is” “good morning” in a language, they are fluent and can now speak to natives.

Apparently the person who told me this is a polyglot who knows 40 languages…”

5. That’s a hot take.

“Brown eggs are healthier since they haven’t gotten bleached…into white eggs.”

6. All really dumb.

“1. Men are superior to women

2. That LGBTQ+ people are going to burn in hell (I’m a lesbian)

3. That atheists are going to burn in hell (I’m an atheist)

4. And a bunch of other racist/s*xist/h*mophobic BS.”

7. Brilliant!

“A friend said that the Super Bowl has been around longer than the United States because there have been 54 Super Bowls and only 45 Presidents.”

8. You can’t do that!

“Believe it or not, I worked with a guy who told me you cannot take a photo of a rainbow. No really, he was dead serious.

Now this was way back in the day when the only computers were the kind that filled an entire room, had to have noisy (I wore earplugs and it saved my hearing!) air conditioning on a raised floor, and ran just one job at a time.

Because PCs and PDAs had not been invented yet, I had to wait until the next day to bring in my photographs of rainbows, to which he said that they must have been drawn in like a painting…”HELLO VILLAGE…we found your IDIOT!””

9. Let me remind you…

“My second child was a planned cesarean. Then doctor who performed the surgery also tied my tubes at that time, as we didn’t want any more children.

I saw him frequently during the pregnancy. I went in for my 6 week checkup and he asked what I was doing for birth control. I said nothing. He then lectured me on not getting pregnant again too soon.

I reminded him of my surgery. I actually started laughing.”

10. Good to know.

“Mormons have babies because all of the spirit children are trapped in a cloud, so they have a bunch of kids to save them.”

11. Not sure…

“In 4th grade, I remember someone asking me, “What’s Obama’s last name?”

I replied with “Leslie”.”

12. Oh, really?

“White people can’t have brown eyes.”

13. Here we go…

“I am a woman working in I.T. so I have a million of them.

One that stands out was the woman who called in a rage because her new pc wasn’t working. When I tried to help she told me she would rather “talk to one of the men.” She refused to co-operate with me when I asked her questions and was incredibly rude to me.

Turns out that her monitor was turned off. Normally I wouldn’t bill for something like that, but her attitude cost her a half hour labour charge.”

14. Hmmmm.

“My friend started dating with a 40-something, divorced man. He said with all seriousness that women don’t f*rt because they don’t have bowels.

He lived with a woman for years, they had a daughter together… My friend was anything but shy so she promptly illustrated the fact that we do indeed have digestive systems…

Same friend worked as a waitress and one of her colleagues were working on a crossword puzzle. My friend looked at her puzzle and said that the three letter “mammal living in water” is likely not “HAL” (fish in Hungarian) but “CET” (whale in Hungarian). The girl looked at her, thought for a second then came back with “well maybe, but HAL fits into 3 squares!”.

Another colleague of her was feeling very poorly one day, she kept throwing up. They had the following discussion:
– Don’t you think you might be pregnant?
– Naaah, that’s impossible!
– Oh, I thought you had a live in boyfriend.
– Yeah.
– And you have two kids so you certainly are not barren, right?
– Yeah.
– Did you have your tubes tied or he had a vasectomy?
– No.
– So you two like… don’t have s*x?
– Yeah, we do, all the time.
– And do you use protection?
– No, he doesn’t like that.
– So then how is it impossible?!”

Okay, now it’s your turn!

In the comments, tell us about the stupidest thing someone has ever said to you.

We can’t wait to hear from you!

The post People Share the Stupidest Thing Someone Has Ever Said to Them appeared first on UberFacts.

Humans never cease to amaze me.

Just when I think that I’ve met the dumbest person on the planet…BOOM…here comes another one.

I think you know what I’m talking about, right?

Are you ready to get dumb? Let’s do it with folks from AskReddit!

1. Not accurate.

“A little hard to explain.

They thought “Indian” was a general term for any pre-colonial American and questioned why there was a country in Asia called India.”

2. Uh oh.

“During a biology presentation,(anonymous) keeps saying orgasms instead of organisms.

We all had a good laugh.”

3. Cut off.

“A close friend of mine babysat a boy (5 years old) who believed that girls were boys who had their private parts cut off for bad behaviour…

Something tells me those parents are REALLY messed up.

Btw, my friend was a girl and found out when the boy asked her what she did to have hers “cut off”.”

4. Now you’re in trouble.

“Watching Avengers Endgame in a theater.

Someone in a seat in the front yelled ¨TONY STARK DIES AND THANOS GETS SNAPPED AWAEEEEEEEE!¨

After the movie, like 6 guys beat him up.”

5. Better look into that.

“One classmate said to me that if my palm is bigger than my face, I have AIDS and HIV.”

6. What?!?!

“When I was in college, a Christian trying to convert me said,” You know, Satan put fossils on Earth to test your faith.”

I just looked at her and just laughed.

Another gem was in high school when a friends sister, who was 16 at the time, I was 17 said to me “did you know rabbits don’t lay eggs?””

7. Straight from Italy.

“We were at Olive Garden when my sister asked all of us if french fries were Italian.

*face palm*”

8. Really bad.

“Was asked the other day- “Are you still grieving?”

My baby died 4 months ago. Of freaking course I’m still grieving.

Why would you even ask that question?”

9. Just think about it.

“My dad once told me that if lesbians just “kept an open mind” they would find they really like [men] too.

It was directed at me because he assumed I’m a lesbian without confronting me.”

10. Oh, boy…

“Some girl said in my f***ing HISTORY class (keep in mid we are SENIORS!!!!) that black people originated from white people painting their faces to be a darker shade!!!

I’ve never been more disappointed in the human race.”

11. Florida logic.

“My 12 year old sister said that alligators are in Miami.

And my 18 Years old sister said “Yeah or Florida”.

She’s never moving out…”

12. Conspiracies.

“My sister is adamant that not only the Holocaust didn’t happen, but also that 9/11 was an inside job, the Moon Landing was filmed on a Vegas film set, and that vaccines cause health problems such as autism.

Talk about a moron.”

13. Riddle me this.

“Once a friend of mine told me that my dog cant be a dog because she doesn’t chase cats.”

14. What do you think?

“Ok. To set the picture. I am working for a Big Box Retailer.

I am not only wearing the approved pants and shirt, I am also wearing a vest, a name badge, and I am taking boxes from a cart, opening them and placing rhe products on the shelf.

“Do you work here?””

15. Pity the fool.

“A guy yelled at me, because he disagreed when I said that scientists had figured out a way to remove salt from salt water.

I just glared at him. I don’t argue with fools.”

You know the drill…

Now we want to hear from you!

In the comments, tell us about the stupidest thing someone has ever said to you. Thanks!
