Painfully Obvious Things People Didn't Realize For Way Too Long

No one likes feeling stupid. It's down there with "ugly" and "being wrong on the internet." But the weird thing about thinking stupid things is that we all do it. Being stupid is more of a temporary condition than an identity. Well, for most of us. For some of us it's a chronic, incurable condition that just gets worse and worse. But these people's stupid moments are all about learning. They're about actively becoming less stupid. And there's nothing like becoming smarter to make you realize how dumb you truly are.

It doesn't matter how long you've been on this planet or how much you know, smart people still do stupid things. Even the concept of "smartness" is variable. Anyone might know everything there is to know about brain surgery but might not know that it's stupid to put metal in the microwave. Some of us were just sick the day we learned that snow is made out of water, only to have that fact make us look like complete smooth-brains a decade later. There are too many obvious things people realize way too late.
