Genuinely don't understand how these mouth breathers function on a daily basis. Some people are more lost than others.

    Text - atombomb1945 Work in a College with a good Nursing program. Heard a girl tell her class mate "I don't know why they make us memorize all this shit about different drugs. I mean, it's not like we are going to kill anyone if we give them the wrong medication." And her friend agreed. Be scared.

    Text - travmainy 3h A former obnoxious coworker (who loved to point out other people's errors and pass blame) was taking inventory with another colleague. He was reading off the numbers and she was transcribing them onto the inventory paper. He told her the one count was eleven hundred. She asked him "how do you write that?" So he told her "one one zero zero". This happened 5 or 6 more times with any number larger than 3 digits. She legitimately did not know how to write numbers. She was in her

    Text - Redshirt2386 3h In high school, a friend's parents got transferred to Hawaii (military), so they were moving (we lived in California). The prettiest but dumbest girl I knew asked, "So are you driving?" When we laughed and pointed out that there was not a bridge between LA and Honolulu, she asked "Well how are the moving trucks going to get there?"

    Text - ryansalittlebitch 4h Mine would be from when I was teaching. An 8th grade girl was shocked to find out that whales were real. She said she thought they were like aliens, made up for TV. She said a number of ridiculous things - she was as close to being a Kevin that I ever had while teaching - but that was probably the worst.

    Text - Ocula 3h My first year of college I met a girl and we became fairly close. She lived nearby so we'd spend time with her family for free meals and whatnot. One day, we're sitting in her living room with her mother and besides the obvious 20 year age gap they looked nearly identical. Discussing getting into the bars, my friend says, "Mom, I'll just use your ID and they won't even notice. We look the same." I tell her that won't work, her mother's ID says her birth year and my friend most de

    Text - Nintendroid. 4h Back when Farmville was hot AF, my best friend's girlfriend would have to manage her crops and time things accordingly to plant and harvest properly. One particular crop took twelve hours to grow before it could be harvested, but if too much time elapsed, one could lose the crop. We were about to leave, and she stands up dramatically from her laptop and says in a hurried-need-for- hard-to-get-information way "What time will it be 12 hours from now?"

    Text - georgiaswift Today we were studying fractions and percentages (basic, I know, but we were learning them in Spanish and Portuguese) and one girl INSISTED that 1/20 was more than 1/3, because the second number in the fraction is bigger. She also thought 1/20 20% and could not understand why that isn't correct. We're in our 20s

    Text - BEEGOLD6060 2h In high school, I knew this girl who said that she was a vegetarian but made an exception for fish. Perfectly normal, many people do this, but her reasoning behind it all was...thought provoking. She said that she was okay with eating fish because, quote, "fish aren't animals". Now, this was news to me. Here I had always thought of fish as animals, but I was quickly informed that this was, "the old fashioned way of thinking". My world was turned upside down, apparently I ha

    Text - DeleteMeh 2h It came from one of my ex-girlfriends. I was moving abroad for studies and we were both distraught that we won't be together for long. So to divert our minds, she changed the topic to the things I would have to buy for my stay abroad. One of the things that she mentioned was a new watch. I told her that I already have one. She: "Yeah, but you can't use the same watch as the time zone will change"

    Text - Coolcatchico 3h I was waiting in a very long line last year and got stuck next to a mid 20's male. I'm a mid 30's male that is Native American/Mexican mix. I have very distinct features and whenever I meet new people, one of the first three questions they ask is; "What are you?" This guy asked me that question and I responded with Native American/Mexican mix. He looked at me and sincerely asked me "What is Native America like? I always wanted to go there." I just decided to have some fun

She thought William Shakespeare was a band She didn't believe that the pyramids were THAT old because only 2000 years had passed. This was just a few examples, she is 17 years old.

    Text - bra1ntraln 3h I was on vacation in Clearwater, Florida. I am from Florida as I'm sure this dumbass from this story is as well. I am wearing a shirt with the Florida state flag on it ( this is important). So there we are post dinner walking around with my Fiance and another couple minding our own business. While we are walking back to our car there is a group of teenagers hanging out and one of them skates over towards us and looks at me and says, and I quote " The confederate flag is bad
