A Reddit user asked: 'What is the dumbest thing you've ever heard?'

You think most people are capable of engaging in good conversations. At least we'd like to think so.

But now and then, we encounter an individual who, based on outward appearances, seems to know what's generally happening in the world but is clueless.


Curious to hear about wacky verbal interactions with people, a Redditor asked:

"What is the dumbest thing you've ever heard?"

People are so delusional.

Dad's Side Of The Story

"My dad once told me that the reason why his relationships with his ex-wife (my mom) and his new girlfriend fell apart must be because they were both the same zodiac sign."

"No dad, I think it's because you cheated on them."

She's A Keeper

"A girl I used to work with was pissed that her boyfriend 'only bought me 12 roses! He wouldn't even go all out for a dozen, whatta jerk!'"

– EroticHannah97

Good 'Ole Slick

"My step-grandad’s son-in-law went by “Slick.” His feats of stupidity were too frequent to fully enumerate here, but some highlights include:"

"His belief that cough drops only work indoors because the medicine they contain is neutralized by outdoor air."

"His attempt to house and leash break an armadillo in an effort to impress his 'fancy' cousins."

"His remark that the town wasted money replacing an obviously dilapidated bridge because 'It’s been there for years and years, if it was going to collapse, it would have happened by now.'”

– Poile98

Some people are so insistent on their beliefs regardless of facts.

Our Flat Planet

"One of my co workers is a flat earther."

"The dumb thing about it is we are surveyors. Our job involves adapting data from a planar view (flat paper maps) to an ellipsoid geoid model (GPS)."

"The whole idea of satellites falling towards earth through space, thereby circling the earth on this mathematical model only works if the earth is round (well…Sortof round)."

"Either way. My colleague works with GPS and still thinks the earth is flat."

"He’s either really dumb or I will lose my house if we had to play poker."

Origins

"I've posted this before but what the hey, my aunt said Dutch people are from Denmark. I told her people from Denmark are Danish. The Dutch are from the Netherlands."

"She was like 'no sweetie, those are Neanderthals.'"

Light The Way

"I was in the back seat at night and I noticed that she was driving with the high beams on. When I warned her she said."

"The high beams are for the highway."

– SeeMarkFly

Manmade Force

"I was talking to a woman at a friend’s BBQ who thought Albert Einstein invented gravity. And that by physically writing his equations for it backwards, we could unlock the secrets to levitation."

– rutsh95

Coffee Customer

"I worked in a coffee shop and someone asked me for a double espresso without water. I made him a double and served it to him & he said ‘that has water in it?’ I was so confused I just put coffee grounds in the cup. Got a disciplinary for that."

– Desperate_Divide6354

How these people got so far in life remains a mystery.

Unseasoned Traveler

"Heard a woman talking about how she had just been to Morocco and how amazing it was. She then immediately started talking about how she had never been to Africa, but would love to."

"Seems very strange that someone would book and go on a holiday without at any point checking where in the world they are going."

– SnooChickens9666

Short Swim To Tokyo

"Went to college in LA, often times you can see Catalina island from the beach. Girl I knew thought it was f'king Japan."

– BKlounge93

Point Of Departure Unknown

"I once talked to a girl who came back from a two week holiday and legit didn't know which country she had been to!"

"After talking to her going back and forth about what the flags looked like there she said there had been a lot of white and blue flags so we settled on Greece.. I was literally shaking my head.."

– OP

Blurring The Line Of Reality

"Watching Lord of the Rings with someone:"

“So this was like a really long time ago huh?"

– numberonecrush

"A good 75% of the way through Peter Jackson's King Kong, my wife turned to me and asked of this was based on a true story. She still gets sh*t for that one."

– ExxInferis

Questionable Species

"Dinosaur are just made up fairy tales. It wouldn’t be so bad, but we live in London with the natural history museum with full scale dinosaurs there for people to see."

– Barca-Dam

Insult Fail

"Had a friend in high school, her name started with an E, she was wearing a necklace that was just the letter E."

"Ditzy mean girl wanna be in that class looks at her necklace and says 'haha E for idiot!'."

– chunkyychadboy

On one hand, it's concerning how people can be extremely naive or ignorant.

On the other hand, it's fascinating and amusing to hear these uninformed declarations made with so much confidence.

Bless them.
