It's not their fault... They can't help it.... Some people just refuse to NOT be blinded by their ignorance. Even when others try and show them the way...

Some of the stores were going to be closed for Easter, and they had a list of those stores on signs all around the store way ahead of time. Lady walks up to me at the register and asks if I know what stores will be closed I tell her I don't know them all but that there's a sign right behind her with a list to which she promptly responds with "I don't read signs" then expects me to tell her what she wants to k

    Text - Hopeful_Penguin 636 points 1 day ago I used to work at zoo. I saw a woman grab a spotted plush seal out of her son's hands. "You don't want that, it's unrealistic" she said. "What is this even, some sort of seal leopard?" Huh, I though to myself. Leopard seal would be a good name for a totally mythical animal that happens to look just like that plushie.

    Text - barneylow 4.1k points 1 day ago Someone who had been trying a 'Mediterranean diet' on the advice of their doctor managed to put on 15kg in the 4 weeks since they were advised to do so. The classic 'fish and vegetables' approach they had fervently adhered to had comprised of eating nothing but deepfried fish and chips from the local chippy. Every day. For four weeks

    Text - TISM_riverphoenix 6.8k points 1 day ago Trained up a new girl at work, over the period of a few weeks. Emphasised that one of the most important things in the role is attention to detail. Wording things correctly, showing pride in your work etc. Day 1 without me, begins sending emails to customers that look like they were written by a 6-year-old. Using the letter 'U' instead of 'you', 'thx' instead of 'thanks' & xoxo at the end of her signature. I laughed so, so hard. She was fired two da

    Text - undeadgorgeous 3.9k points 1 day ago Watching March of the Penguins in high school Biology next to the dumbest girl I've ever met. First, the DVD had a trailer for Happy Feet before the movie so she immediately goes "Oh my god, how did they get the penguins to dance like that?" thinking it was part of the documentary. Then later on there is a scene where one of the penguins gets eaten by a sea lion. She gasps and asks her friend how they'd gotten a dinosaur on film.

    Text - trucido614 615 points 1 day ago I had to sit next to a lady on a plane that was listening to music on her headphones and singing out loud. Needless to say, it was annoying, and she sounded like a moron because they were noise cancelling headphones. Good thing I also had headphones, the people around me were not so lucky. It was a 45 minute flight, and she could be heard singing maybe 30 minutes of it.

    Text - shakespearestark 422 points 1 day ago I work in an office full of anti-vaxxer's who also believe mental illnesses can be cured with the right vitamins and chiropractic adjustments (I wish I were joking.) I made the mistake of telling one coworker about my ocd diagnosis. He gave me a card for a chiropractor office and said it was a shame I'd let myself get so "ill." You can imagine how many times a day I truly think "fuck, people are dumb."
