People Share The Dumbest Things They've Heard Others Say

They say that kids says the darndest things, but sometimes, adults do, too. When it comes really inappropriate or ridiculous remarks, we all have a story in which we've heard someone say something so stupid, we just couldn't believe it.

To comfort you and even make you laugh, people on Reddit are sharing the "dumbest thing" they've heard another person say and some of it...yikes.

This guy really doesn't understand sex...and it backfired.

"My friend once told me he wasn't too concerned about using birth control because everyone knows the girl can only get pregnant if they both cum at the same time.

His gf was pregnant 3 months later," shared kennethfrom30rock

Was it her first time on an airplane?

One Reddit user said that their sister was "panicking" on an airplane and it was getting really hot, so she asked the passenger next to her if she could "open the window" for her.

This person does not understand geography, clearly.

GingersaurusRex shared the most embarrassing comment.

"If you could adopt a child from a third world country, which country would you choose and why?"

"I would choose Alaska, because it's really cold there." -A member of the prom court being asked a random question on our school's live news show that was being broadcasted out to every homeroom.

She thought they were a made up story.

One girl asked in class "why do farms exist" if everyone gets their food at the supermarket.

To be honest, it worries me that someone would think the food just appears in the supermarket and doesn't grow anywhere beforehand.

Did they sleep through U.S. History class?

"I knew a girl who said 'what’s the big deal about Obama being elected president? Our first black president was Martin Luther king..'" shared one Reddit user thtguyjosh.

While Martin Luther King Jr. was important for American history, he definitely wasn't president.

Now we lay eggs.

Someone shared that they had a friend who did not understand how the female body worked, as they were told that women "sit on the toilet once a month" and lay an egg.

Yes, they lay eggs, like chickens. Okay.

Snakes are confusing, I guess.

"Someone tried to convince me that snakes don’t have bones. I showed him some pictures of snake skeletons and he said 'yeah they have ribs, not bones,'" shared Reddit user cheeeeeeeeto.

Snakes, they confuse everyone from time to time, it seems.

Dreams are real.

One person shared that their friend told them that if you are dreaming about falling and you actually hit the ground in your dream, that means you die in real life.

Seems like a very big stretch to be true.

Drunk people say the darndest things.

One person shared that their drunk friend admitted that they did not understand how the sun and the moon work.

"Buddy of mine was very drunk one night and asked me "where does the moon go during the daytime?"

Birthdays shouldn't be so difficult.

"My sister was literally convinced that she had a birthday every two years. After a half-an-hour-discussion, where she insulted me and called me stupid, I finally convinced her she was wrong. She’s 15, and does not have a mental illness," shared rafaomoss.

Some holidays are national, not global.

One Reddit user shared that at their job, working in a hotel in Australia, she got a complaint from guests who were staying there because the hotel did not have a "July 4th" fireworks show.

Or any other kind of celebration. In Australia.

So, what are insects then?

"That insects aren’t animals. He insisted that “the major groups of life are animals, plants, and insects”. It was impossible to convince him that insects are in fact animals, and I think he still firmly believes it to this day," said germaniumpolaroid.

Pictures are misleading sometimes.

A Reddit user ordered a latte at a tore and complained because they said that the latte didn't taste like the photo of the latte that they saw.

I'm not quite sure how a photo has a flavor, but I guess people think they do.

How...just how?

"I’m a veterinarian. I once had the owner of a pregnant three legged dog ask if the puppies would be born with three legs or four," said Reddit user kayaker58.

Some people just really do need to do school twice.
