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.

"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.
