There are many times in life when people stick their foot in their mouth and say some dumb stuff. It’s not just kids who say the darndest things , adults do, too. Sometimes, when people speak, we often wonder if they are living on the very same planet that we do, or if they have been living under a rock.
If you felt the world couldn’t get any worse, we give you the “dumbest things” people have ever heard another person say .

Ah, genetics.
“A girl in my high school said that if she and her hypothetical husband had undesirable facial features that they didn’t want to pass on to a child (like a bumpy nose), one of them would just have plastic surgery before conceiving a child.

Sharks, oh my!
“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.

Vegetarianism is challenging.

No, our boobs are attached to us.

I thought it was the fudge that we ate,” said grapeape12041986 .
