According to the laws of probability, everyone is guaranteed to end up on at least one date with someone who is out of their mind or wildly misinformed. It's about as common as the probability of getting food poisoning. It's going to happen in your lifetime at least once… 

If you're lucky, you'll have the epiphany that the person sitting on the opposite side of the restaurant table is a moron before there are any notable strings attached. Ideally, you'll catch it on the first date so that neither of you will end up wasting one another's time on subsequent dates or before something is holding you down, such as an apartment, a marriage, or a kid. 

Some of these folks had their epiphanies early while others ended up having to go through the misery that is divorce. One has to question whether or not the latter individuals had major tunnel vision because how can you not realize your partner of several years does not understand how the world works? Keep scrolling below for the full list of anecdotes. For more, check out this compilation of delivery food fiascos.

    ageekyninja 1 day ago edited 16 hr. ago He kept littering. I really hate littering. The day he spit his gum out on the sidewalk of a zoo I called him out on it. He says "It will evaporate". I laughed and said "Thats funny but no seriously you should just use the trash can.". He gave me a confused look. Thats when I realized he was serious. He was so convinced that trash evaporates in the sun we had a full on debate about it.

    . jsmys 1 day ago We watched Shrek and she didn't believe that the guy who voiced Shrek was the same guy who played Austin Powers because "their accents aren't the same." I explained that it was the same actor doing different voices. She couldn't fathom it. When I told her that Austin Powers' voice wasn't the actor's real voice either, that was too much for her to handle.

    AdSalt9219 1 day ago College girlfriend who was not a fully-functioning adult. Zero life skills. Got a flat tire while driving alone, stood by the car acting helpless until a guy stopped and offered to help. He changed it, but unbeknownst to her had set the parking brake. She gets in her car and it won't go anywhere because the parking brake was set. She runs out of the car and asks the guy, "my car won't go, did you put the wheel on backwards?" No, she actually told everybody about it.

    TheGreyling 1 day ago I have a copper bracelet I wear on occasion. It was hot out and I was getting sweaty so after several hours I had some green tarnish marks on my wrist. She freaked out thinking it was an allergic reaction. I tried explaining it was just from the salt and the same reaction is what made the statue of liberty green. Nope, still couldn't grasp it and thought I was dying.
