'Bird dogs are not half bird': 20+ Perplexed people who had no idea they were wrong

Have you ever met someone who is blissfully unaware of seemingly everything around them? They're the type of person who floats through life with an empty head, and is often surprised when you correct them about common facts. We have a lot of love for our dumb friends, although we may have less tolerance for dimwitted coworkers. When your friend says or does something silly, it becomes an inside joke. But when a coworker acts brainless, you start wondering if they make more money than you, or if they really did graduate from college.

These people shared the funniest moments like these from their own lives. For example, one person who found themself feeling quite old when their coworker didn't know how to read an analog clock. Apparently, a lot of people can read digital clocks, but have difficulty reading the kind that hang on the wall. I guess if you don't learn that skill by the age of 3 or 5, maybe you never will. Another person shared that a coworker asked to reduce her workload from 5 days per week to 4… only to be stunned that she was now being paid less. Oh man.

Next up, check out some design flops, like the fire pit that also turns into a side table, leaving you with an ash-covered floor every time.
