RELATED STORIES
There are also these stories of 19 very confident people who said something dumb, like one guy who thought a purring cat meant it was dead…
Be prepared to facepalm lots over this!
The purring cat
A purring cat is such a treat! It means they’re happy and relaxed. So it was pretty messed up when this Redditor’s little brother walked up to them and awkwardly asked “is the cat dead” as he held their cat, who was purring…
The diabetic
“That being diabetic is something you can DO at home, and an addiction that is not suitable to DO when in public. Yes, someone told me that in full confidence.” – u/Emile_the_rat. That’s pretty messed up.
The half rat
“A coworker of mine once told me that any animal could reproduce with any other animal, that DNA wasn’t important and that all sperm was the same. She believed this because she once saw a litter of diseased, deformed puppies and had decided that they must be half rat.” – u/Hypersapien
The beef
This Redditor had someone say ” I don’t eat cows, I eat beef” to them with full confidence. Um, WTF?! Sorry to break the news to you, but beef comes from cattle.
The test
“My friend told me if you had a test with 101 questions and you got them all wrong, your score would be a -1. Yeah, I’d love to see the grade calculators handle that one.” – u/Trouble102134
The handicapped spot
“A woman yelled at me for parking a car with a handicap tag in a non-handicap spot. She believed that I had to park only in handicap spots.” – u/ocrohnahan. Normally, people are mad at people parking in handicap spots!
The drunk
I’m sure that everyone has experienced this next sentence from someone before. “I’m not drunk,” while the person is slurring their words and stumbling over. It’s a sentence police officers have definitely heard from people with full confidence.
The breakup
“I told a guy a few hours after a terrible date (needed to calm down) that it wasn’t going to work between us. Two days later I get a text saying he had a long hard conversation with himself the day after the date and, long story short, he didn’t think we were compatible to date right now. Completely confident that it was his idea.” – u/musryujidt
The fart
“I had a guy in middle school spend like two hours over a day trying to convince me that the speed of a fart is greater than the speed of light. He thought there was some special speed for things that have smell and that it’s faster than light.” – u/REMdot-yt
The hot water
This Redditor had the unfortunate experience of someone saying, “If you wash your hands in the hot water you don’t need soap. Hot water will kill all germs.” Oh, boy. Let’s hope that wasn’t their coronavirus protection plan!
The pizza
“Friends roommate got mesotherapy which is like fat reduction shots. Wanted to order pizza. Reminded her that she wasn’t supposed to have bread for x many days/hours afterward. ‘ Pizza is not bread, it’s dough.'” – u/DuhTabby
The capital of the United States
“I politely corrected a woman in another country who said that New York is the capital of the United States. She doubled down and said it was definitely New York, and she knew this because she stayed in school all the way till the 4th grade. I backed down because it was just depressing at that point.” – u/pupperonipizzapie
The sun
This Redditor was in high school when a girl asked with a straight face, “How does the sun catch fire again when it rises?” Their teacher and the rest of the class were so stunned, they couldn’t even respond.
The calories
“I once spent more time than I should have explaining to my weight loss buddy that a half cup of condensed cream of chicken soup had the same number of calories as it did BEFORE you added the half cup of water to mix it up to drink the ONE cup of soup that makes. She insisted adding the half cup of water cut the calories in half.” – u/genghismom71
The gray hairs
“Gray hairs give you headaches. My wife told me this. She was putting her hair up, complaining about a headache, and she nonchalantly says ‘All these gray hairs are giving me headaches.'” – u/Bain_PD
The elbow grease
When this Redditor told his brother he needed to use a little elbow grease to get the tiles from the floor up, they said, “Well where do you keep it then?” Ummm…
The Aladdin Land
“A guy I know in college pointed at the flag of Saudi Arabia hanging in front of a booth on an international food day. And the guy for some reason asked is that “Aladdin land”? In full confidence.” – u/ Rejack
The flu
“A woman I used to work with (MIT grad, at that) very confidently told me that no one has ever died of the flu. When I contradicted her she just laughed and sadly shook her head.” – u/regular6drunk7
The mushrooms
I don’t eat mushrooms because of how horrible they are. But this Redditor encountered a girl who said with full confidence that she doesn’t eat mushrooms because they are the houses of smurfs…
