There's nothing quite as puzzling as the bold confidence of a glaringly evident fool. It can be quite entertaining and disheartening at the same time to watch someone go off on whatever tangent they feel compelled to go on, all the while with no idea that they have no idea what they're talking about. Maybe these insights will take you on a trip down memory lane to an experience of your own.

One of these coupons was a print out of a 70% off clearance promotion from Nike's website and the other was a 20% off coupon from Payless that expired in 2017. I've never been more confused, frustrated, and exasperated than I was during the 10 minute interaction where myself, two managers and a customer tried to explain to this man why this wasn't going to happen

    Font - MCBMCB77 • 1d My first girlfriend, about 20 years, I showed her one of those newspapers at the time that had made up stories about alien abductions etc, Weekly World News I think it was. One of the headlines was "Belgium Destroyed By Giant Asteroid And No One Noticed For 2 Months" and she thought it was real. Thing was she wasn't actually dumb, just really innocent and naive 6 Reply 198 +

    Font - Jack6503 · 1d True story. Kid in my neighborhood. Someone must have told him that if he shone a flashlight in one ear, light would come out the other ear. He didn't know i was looking. He held a flashlight to one ear and his open palm at the other. He turned on the light and tried to turn his head real fast to see his palm. He did this several times. Never caught the light. I was in awe at his stupidity. G Reply 1 419 3 ...

    Font - LilAufder • 1d A classmate named Rebecca had many instances of just jaw-dropping idiocy. Two of my favorites were: After listening to a presentation on why a pool hall would be a great addition to a bar, "That's great and everything, but where's the pool?" Reading out loud her paper on recognizable structures, "The Parthenon is important. Because it is big and it is good." I think it's the confidence behind anything she said that just made it hard to overlook the ignorance. G Reply 1 133
