The spectrum of human expression is vast, and opinions vary greatly. What one person might consider the “dumbest” thing they’ve heard, another might view as a matter of perspective or misunderstanding. A user asked the forum, “What’s the dumbest thing you’ve heard someone say?”
Here are some responses he got!
LOOKING PREJUDICED
“A new guy started at work. Just a regular guy; nothing unusual about him. This one idiot woman looked at him and said, “I don’t like that guy; he looks prejudiced. No amount of explanation could persuade her to see the irony.”
WANTED TO BE A GARBAGE MAN?
“I heard a guy say he wanted to be a garbage man because they have great pay (they do make crazy money) and they only have to work one day a week. He thought that since his trash was picked up once a week, that was all the fellas worked on”
VISITING KANAS,
“I told a friend that I was visiting family in Kansas. They laughed and asked where I was going. They thought I was just trying to say I was going somewhere far away. Because Kansas is a fictional place from that one movie (The Wizard of Oz).”
MISCONCEPTION OF TERMS
“How can you be Spanish? It’s a language, not a nationality.”
“How can you be Danish? That’s a scone, not a nationality.”
“How can you be Chinese? That is a succulent food, not a nationality!
WI-FI IS GLUTEN-FREE
“I once overheard someone asking if Wi-Fi is gluten-free. I guess they were worried about internet allergies?”
CANADA WAS A US STATE
“Canada was a US state because it shares a border. When asked if Mexico was a state because it also shares a border… I was told, “That’s just dumb,”
NOT DIAGNOSING ADHD
“My little brother’s girlfriend told us, with pride, that she screamed at her doctor for not diagnosing her with ADHD. She’s not a smart or nice lady.”
ALKALINE WATER WITH LEMON JUICE
“I drink alkaline water with freshly squeezed organic lemon juice. Alkaline water is a scam in the first place, but by adding an acid, it is no longer alkaline.”
CRITICIZING SAFE DRIVING REGULATIONS
“I didn’t hear it directly, but the CEO of the Titan Sub criticized the “obscenely safe diving regulations” and how counter-productive they were to innovation and exploration.”
DINOSAURS DIDN’T EXIST
“Those fossils were put there to test our faith…..Heard this from a family I no longer have any contact with…they also decided to home-school their kids so “they don’t learn lies….like evolution”.
COMICAL SALAD INCIDENT
“A customer yelled at me for putting eggs on her salad. She told me she was lactose intolerant. So I naturally didn’t put cheese on the salad. But apparently, eggs in her mind were also of the lactose family, so I was trying to poison her.”
COLD WATER LEDS TO WEIGHT GAIN
“Warned us on a hot day not to drink too much ice water… Because it makes you fat.. just ice water, or cold water, though….I explained that no.. water can not make you fat, as water has no calories. He spent the lunch hour trying to find something on the internet to prove himself right, even asking Siri, with no luck.”
SMOKE KILLS GERMS IN THE LUNGS
“I smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, and I’m healthier than you because the smoke kills all the germs in my lungs.” Guy’s been dead since the early ’80s.”
MOON WAS IN THE SKY DURING THE DAY
“Coworker came rushing into the office one morning, freaked out that she could see the moon. When we all asked what she meant, she explained, “I didn’t know the Moon was in the sky during the day.”
