I'm sure most of us witnessed other people saying something particularly dumb from time to time. This is the Internet, so why not share it.. A girl in my class (university) recently said two things within a few weeks that were mindboggling. First of all, she truly believed (and even googled -without success- to prove it to us!) that Polar bears are living on the mountains near Vancouver. Vancouver is located at around the same latitude as London, UK. Secondly, the same girl said yesterday that this "language in the movie sounded like Latin so it may be shot in Mexico or South America" I witnessed some incredibly stupid things when I talked to high school students (like that Germany would be inside Russia), but this takes the fucking cake. A 3rd year university student who believes that polar bears live in Southern Canada and that Mexicans speak Latin. The world in her head must look like a carnival of stupidity, ho-ly-shit, cerealsly.
In elementary school, they gave us the "sex talk." One of the kids questions was "Do you produce sperm when your dead?" I've gone to school with the kid my entire life, he's still a total idiot.
A co-worker of mine was going on vacation to Tasmania, I overheard her saying to another co-worker "Do I need to go to the domestic or international terminal? Do you think I need my passport?" ... Co-worker she was talking to faced myself and the other guy at my work and silently mouthed "Is she fucking serious?!", we both facepalmed and I got a massive headache from stupidity.
I knew someone at an old job that overheard me talking about taking a trip to ohio for a week. She had the nerve to ask me after if i was going there for potatoes. saying isnt ohio where potatoes come from? SERIOUSLY?!? for one who would take a trip to go get potatoes?!? Secondly i pointed out that some potatoes come from IDAHO not ohio.. god she was stupid.
Staff at a large electronic store "Harvey Norman" were asked by a lady what Adobe Illustrator was used for. The staff member went to ask one of his other team, and they all didn't know. One of them mentioned "Download a trial and see what it does". Fuck me how stupid they are. Another instance (I was in high school, probably 14) a former friend asked if they had any 3.5mm to USB for his Windows phone. The staff member replied "USB is only for data". So USB isn't Universal apparently... See EMPLOYERS, experience doesn't mean they know what they are doing.
Haha, oh man that's bad. Oh! Another one! Same co-worker of mine that was asking about airports and passports kept loudly complaining that some data was coming up wrong, in fact there wasn't anything being tallied? 1D10T Error. Reason being? Hadn't entered anything into the computer. "But why isn't there anything there?" - Because you need to put it into the computer yourself. "How?" - You used typewriters right? You just type it like on the typewriter and instead of using paper, it shows up on the screen. "But I thought it would do it by itself." ... She's also left files underneath the computer keyboard, possibly thinks that it'll magically appear on my computer??? I have to work with her tomorrow.
Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuullll That's just so so so so sad. No wonder you bang your head on the desk after work mate.
Oh mate, with this one it never ends. No doubt I'll have about half a dozen new stupid things to post in here after work.... If I don't then it'll have been a good day meaning I won't have a shitty bloody migraine. >_<
You'll need the 100 pack of painkillers I reckon. I can't believe there's people like that going in a job that require computer skills. How come I can't get a job like that? Overqualified? lol. My parents got abused by the vet staff earlier today, when I heard the story it brought my piss to a boil.
Well the lady is old and has been with the company for years, but has still refused to learn how to use a computer and yet still gets away with not knowing how to use it. DX Ah, what happened mate?
Well that's fair enough I guess, but she at least want to learn :/ I'll tell you by PM, since it's rather off-topic
Oh no. She refuses to learn. I frequently hear dumb shit like "Oh it's gonna be Terminator all over if I have to use this thing" regularly.
You've no idea. "Oh no! I have to go have my fish oil pills NOW!!!" ... I asked one of my older co-workers why she had to urgently have these vitamins. She seems to be under the impression that if she keeps taking them, her intelligence will increase. She's also forever eating tuna for lunch (yuck) for the same reason. Now you see why I can't fucking deal with it!
"Are we European?" a group of (my best guess) Irish girls asked one another behind me at the "European Passports only" checkin counter... they genuinely didn't know...
My friend asked for the teacher on school about making a tea party. The next day there was 6 people drinking tea on our classroom. I'm not kidding. And a women that was getting an Nintendo 3DS on a local store and asking if they had GTA V for the system. Wow.
Good thing there isn't many silly people in my area. I can remember one thing that was so incredible fucking stupid, I think it was four years ago now. There was a dude said to his friend that he had more sex than his friend hair got. He took that one seriously indeed. Talking about 10,000 of hairs.
Ah that sounds like when I was working in a game store for a few weeks. A guy comes in and asks if Gran Turismo 5 is out for PC yet. LOL
Well maybe it not a dumb question. Maybe the guy is a father who knows nothing about video games? probably want to get a racing game for his son to play on PC?
