'Do you have a longer yardstick?': 45+ People who corrected their friends after hearing the silliest things they wrongly believe

These people were pretty sure their friends were totally uninformed about the things they were saying. It happens to everyone at some point. You absorb some information from a documentary or a YouTube video, but you might misremember it. You think you know exactly what you're talking about, but when you go to mention it in a conversation, the other person stares at you like you have two heads. It's a universal experience that never ceases to be embarrassing!

These folks shared the very silly things they've heard their friends and family members say. I love when people mistake what "a la mode" means, like one guy did when he asked for pie a la mode, with some ice cream on top. He probably thought it meant the pie was warmed up, or thought it was a fancy way to make the pie sound more special.

Check out these great stories below — who knows, maybe you'll find a fact that you falsely believed in! I'm sure some of these memories are actually lovely memories in peoples' heads. The goofier our friends are, the more we love being around them.

After that, these employees shared the worst holiday presents their bosses have ever bestowed upon them, like one person who wrote, "We got a digital cake."
