Please tell me they aren't serious..
 
What's the stupidest thing you've ever heard someone say?


so yeah um warning cause racism and political themes

Spoiler:
One time my grandma said that whites are, in fact, oppressed because when you say 'nude' (as in a shade for makeup, clothing, etc) people don't take it to just mean white anymore -- that the term 'nude' is becoming more racially diverse and you can have 'nude' items anywhere from pale white to midnight dark. YES, she is one of those white people that believes diversity is white oppression. I think that might have been the #1 stupidest thing I've ever heard.

its pretty racist, but kinda funny actually. My grandparents say racist stuff like that as well, but they do not intend to be racist (they are actually very kind and loving people). They are just a product of their generation I guess.

I had someone ask in my history class "did leonardo or da vinci make that?"

I face palmed hard.

We had a survey come through at work where a lady told us that our service department was "horriable." That's the first thing to come to mind, lol.

my ex thought we lived in the 20th century and that there were only a few weeks in a year. she's not stupid, but when it came to some general knowledge things it really stunned me. even worse was the fact that she is one of those people who will never admit they're wrong even when they clearly are sooo.

It's not so much other people that say stupid stuff but myself. I was once talking to a friend about how 9/11 was 'apparently' an inside job. Then I asked "How could it have been an inside job if the plane came from the outside?" It wasnt until shortly after I realise how much of an idiot that made me sound.

Also, one time my cousin was showing his ex gf his comics and he commented on how they were in mint condition. Then she asked "What does that mean they taste minty?"

a classmate sincerely asked if i wanted to outlaw insurance companies because he totally misinterpreted something I said. What I said was very easy to understand.

Sydian October 26th, 2016 6:48 PM

This is actually more scary to me but about a month ago, these two old people at work were waiting on their cars to be serviced and they had a casual conversation about how they wanted someone to assassinate President Obama. In a place where there is constant Jesus music playing too, I might add. why

Sothis October 27th, 2016 6:33 PM

Everything my step father says is cringey, I should record him because booyyyy.
Especially the slurs he uses, and how he "jokes" about how everyone but white people should be murdered, he literally says shit like that.

'new zealand is in europe, right'

thing is that i've heard that at least three times

User19sq October 28th, 2016 5:53 AM

This one's incredibly NSFW, but probably worth a chuckle:

Spoiler:
Years ago, my ex and her friends were speculating as to what the foreskin was, what it was for, and why some men don't have it. Their insane rambling forced me to try containing my laughter, but the worst suggestion as to how it's removed came from my ex: "I think, at some point, it just falls off..." Keep in mind these were high-school girls perfectly capable of using Google. Worse still, I was sitting there; me, a guy, whom they could've just asked.
