'I don't have an e-mail, I have a gmail': Top 20 foolish things people said with 100% conviction

The unintentional hilarity of humanity is endlessly entertaining. Sometimes, those unintentional moments come from a mishap, like tripping and falling on your butt. And let's be honest, unless someone gets hurt, people falling can be funny. However, we're not talking about a "Scarlet Takes a Tumble" viral moment.

Instead, we are talking about those ordinary moments in life when someone says something so incredibly wrong you have to triple check that you heard that person correctly. It could be a family member, a friend, or an acquaintance, but whoever it is, you immediately start to wonder how this total fool went through life believing something so utterly unbelievable and so factually inaccurate. Sometimes in life, we think we have surrounded ourselves with people who have a baseline understanding of the way the world works, but then, every so often, even the smartest of people can surprise you.

For instance, I have a relatively poor understanding of basic geography. It's not entirely my fault; I blame the education system. However, I had a close friend once boldly claim that Massachusetts was in the Midwest and I immediately questioned how we became friends. But as these crazy comments below will convey, these types of folks declare their wildly inaccurate statements with such conviction that for the briefest of moments, you almost believe them and then begin to question your own knowledge. Oh, it's a cycle!
