Teachers, parents, friends, hobos, and so on. They all say stupid poo poo that makes you :psyduck:


For example:

- "Women can't play drums because they don't have the same muscular structure as men."
- "Condoms aren't effective because the holes (pores) in them aren't small enough to stop it, so the AIDS virus can get through and infect you."


From an ex, and a health teacher. Top those and win a prize there is no prize only :psyduck:

This is just the first thing that springs to mind, but I've been dying to share it for about eight years:

(For context, junior year math class, with discussion of the function y=1/x)

"How do they know it just keeps going up forever? How do they know it doesn't just stop at, like, 10,000,000?".

And this was an honors highschool math course. :eng99:

A old favourite in my workplace, often brought up when someone else says something poorly thought out, originally said by my former co-worker and dumbest non-retarded person I knew.

"Cockatoos can't fly."

Exhibit A:



Ah, but he had sound logic for his statement!

"Emus and penguins can't fly, so cockatoos can't."

He quit a while ago, and is busy freeloading off his astonishingly patient sisters and Centrelink.

How the gently caress does he think those big-rear end flocks get up in the gumtrees? What, there are marauding parades of cockatoos just waddling around Australia, climbing trees to screech at people then... just bungee jump themselves out?
If he'd said that in front of me I don't think I could have stopped myself from straight up asking him point blank if he was retarded.

"Crude oil lubricates the tectonic plates, which is why we have so many earthquakes after the industrial revolution because we're taking out all the oil."

I was just sort of amazed that he knew what tectonic plates are but still managed to be so wrong.

We honestly don't know what he was "thinking", as he was the sort of clown who thought that simply repeating a statement over and over in a increasingly louder and more agitated tone of voice was sufficient to prove his point when questioned.

Everyone else insincerely agreed that either:

A: What appeared to be organic birds were actually small robots, made and controlled by nefarious secret forces.

B: The cockatoo slowly waddles around and climbs trees in a similar fashion to a possum or koala.

It's a pity that none of us had smartphones at the time, in order to bring up video of a cockatoo indeed flying.

He also claimed that my obviously British (and hated) manager at the time was French, and that evolution was disproved by the lack of apes spontaneously meta-morphing into humans in the present day.

He was unable to name any of the Ten Commandments, despite constantly reminding us that he was Christian. He also didn't know that Christian faith was split into denominations, when I asked him which branch of Christianity he followed.

And he claimed that cigarettes didn't cause cancer, on the grounds that his grandfather never contracted it, despite smoking his whole life.

I once overheard a Muslim at the place I used to work explaining his religion to a co-worker. Apparently Islam is older than Christianity and Muslims don't believe in Jesus (and it was clear that he meant "at all", not just "don't believe Jesus is God").

How about this: When visiting a foreign city where you do not look like a local at all, some idiot in a car decides to ask you for directions in English instead of the local language, all while brandishing a road map and being in view of several obvious landmarks. He was probably attempting to pull this scam:

quote:

The lost fashion designer. Here's a classic: A guy pulls up next to you in a car and asks for directions, or some other way to start chatting with you. He's suave, speaks English and dressed well. He tells you he's a manager/designer/executive for Armani/Versace/Gucci and seems to "prove" it by showing you his designs. Oh, and just because you're so friendly, he gives you a couple of coats he just happens to have in his car that are leather/silk/suede. That's when he asks you for gas money, because he's almost out -- you know, €50 or €100. Because he just gave you a couple of coats and because he's such a swell-seeming guy, you fork it over. This has happened again and again and again over the past few years. The guy must be making bank. Don't be part of his profit margin.

The stupidity lies in the fact that he thinks there is even the slightest possibility that you will fall for his scam when he is that unsubtle about it.

A guy my husband used to work with would argue with him endlessly that alcohol was bad because of its effects on other people but smoking is fine because it doesn't change your behavior and thus has no negative impact on the people around you.

He almost got his head cut off by a helicopter because he approached it from upslope and didn't duck.

Me (with gastroenteritis): "I haven't peed for hours, am really thirsty, and can't drink water because I puke it out. Can you pick up some Pedialyte on your way home so I don't die?"

Someone close to me: "Is that for children? Would you be offended if I didn't? We have chicken soup."

I remember a few years ago in GBS I was arguing with some guy who claimed that DUIs can't be a crime because they don't affect anyone else and it doesn't actually make you worse at driving. A few months after that he went full blown conspiracy nutter about European royals and spent a few hundred dollars reregging and threatening Lowtax and his family after getting banned.
