We’ve all been there — times we said something so dumb, we wished the ground would just swallow us up. After all, even the brightest of us are not immune to making mistakes as they are an inevitable part of human nature. Just think of all the naive hopes, faulty assumptions, and plain wrong opinions we carry with us throughout our lives without questioning — everyone is bound to have their brain.exe stopped working moments.

So a few months ago, Redditor Xlh883dragster decided to help us come to terms with our collective idiocy and show that blunders can strike us at any time. They reached out to fellow members of ‘Ask Reddit’ with a question: “What’s something you’ve heard someone say that was so incredibly, mind numbingly stupid that you’ll remember it the rest of your life?”

The thread immediately became a hit as hundreds of people offered a glimpse into other people’s embarrassing moments, both funny and relatable. Scroll down to enjoy reading through these entertaining responses, upvote your favorite ones, and be sure to tell us all about the stupidest things you’ve ever done in the comments!

One of my college roommates wandered in while we were watching JAWS. It’s the final 15 minutes. The shark is tearing the Orca apart. It comes to the scene where the shark heaves itself up on the stern, the roommate says,

“It’s pretty neat how they trained that shark to do that.”

Dear reader, he was serious.

New girl at work…she was horrified that we eat the eggs that come from our chickens. She insisted store bought were normal good eggs. She then really blew my mind when she said she doesn’t eat chicken, so she only buys “hens”. She about had a panic attack when I explained hen is just lady chicken. Very sheltered

I had this friend I met for lunch once after not seeing her for a while. She said, “I never see you. I miss you.” I told her that I’ve been working a lot and that I’ve worked 9 days straight. She goes, “HOW? THERE’S ONLY 7 DAYS IN A WEEK!”.

A girl in my high school said that of she and her hypothetical husband had undesirable face features that they didn’t want to pass on to a child (like a bumpy nose) one of them would just plastic surgery before conceiving a child. When I said that with her logic if both me and my partner chopped off our index fingers our child would be born without index fingers. She said that wasn’t the same thing. We were 17 at the time. I still think about that, 18 years later.

When I was 17, I casually mentioned to one of the high school nurses that I didn’t want to have kids until I was at least 25, and she told me that by the time I was 25 it would be “too late” to have my first baby and I should have two kids by the time I was 20. She then called the girl who got pregnant at the beginning of freshman year “the smartest girl in town” because she was the same age as me and on her third baby.

I remember it so well because it was the last time I ever saw her. She apparently told the other nurse about the conversation, and the other nurse was so revolted that she reported her to the school board, who then transferred her to the elementary school (which she then got fired from for calling a girl’s clothes “slutty”.)

I once had a professionally licensed Chiropractor in the State of California – San Luis Obispo (Hi Laura!) tell me that the Sun is a Planet.

During a foreign language class, when learning the names of different countries… Someone stopped the lecture and asked why this language we were learning, made up names for different countries. Why can’t we just use the real names like Germany, Japan etc. Total silence. Then 10 minutes of the entire class trying to get this person to understand that Germany is not the name of Germany in German. That all these country names they know are all English “made up” names for those countries. They did not comprehend.
Confounds me to this date as this person was not from an English speaking country.

My ex wife and I had a one hour argument – her insisting that 10:30am was in the afternoon. Started with her saying “we need to go at 10:30”. Me: “I thought you said it wasn’t until the afternoon?” “It is in the afternoon. 10:30. You know… later on.” ME: “Afternoon doesn’t mean later on… it means AFTER… NOON!” (arguing ensued). I still think about it all the time.

In the 1990’s I went into a store in Canada (where I live) with a $100 American bill. I bought a bottle of wine for about $13. When the woman working the register worked out the exchange rate (about 13%) she said ‘oh, you get $100 back’ and handed back the American $100 bill to me and said ‘funny how that works’

Back then I took it and left snickering… but I would correct the situation now if that happened, which I’m guessing never would again.
