Heres two.
1. A customer who owned a Pizza Shop took the phrase "Warming up the computers" way too literally. For 10 years he would put a hair dryer on maximum to the front of his PCs. One day he asked us how long he should do that for each day. Lets just say when we popped open the lid all his cables were melted.
2. I couldnt identify a store I was trying to help. She kept saying Nine Hundred and Eighty One. Eventually after I found out the address, it turns out it was 90081. How did this college-age person pass primary school?
I once had a friend who, at the time, was in his 30s. He had his own business and also did the accounting. During one game night he suddenly started spouting off about how zero isn't a "real" number since you can't have zero of anything. Going on about how you can't not have something, and you either have stuff or owe stuff. We spent over 20 minutes trying to explain 1st grade math to this guy without success. Finally we gave up and moved on with the game with him being smug. Eventually I hit a point where my money ended up being 0 (after paying a bill) and I look at him and said "So do I have zero money now, or am I magically in debt an unknown amount." He finally shut up.
This is extra funny considering math concepts in humanity's earlier days advanced a great deal when they fully grasped the 'nature' of the number zero.
Zero is an integer
Most of these were dumbfounding, but I seriously LOLed at the “How did they get the cameras back then?” story. That is something she will NEVER live down!
One time, during a blackout, my aunt said that the power couldn't have gone out, because everybody's headlights were still on. That was like 50 years ago, well before my time, and she still hasn't lived it down.
Im an airline pilot and definitely not stupid... Until a windshield sun shade defeated me... Couldn't get it to stay in place. After ten minutes of watching me struggle my brother slapped down the cars visors and walked off.

My brother once called Fort Oglethorpe (A town in Georgia named because it was an Army base up until WWII), an Air Force Base. The Air Force didn’t exist until 1947 after the Army left the fort for good. We only caught him because he also said it was a Civil War-era Fort when it only founded in 1902. (This error stems from the town’s location near a National Park where two major Civil War battles took place).

I despair at how many people don't know how a credit card works. If they were really free, no one would be struggling for money.
I thought they only charged you interest once. It made sense to me because I always paid it off every month. I was in for a world of hurt 😂😂😂
Honestly that is bad parenting. Outside of that guy telling her how credit cards work, she would get hit hard enough by real life that it would feel like she shit talked mike tyson.
yeah I do not get parents who give a teenager a credit card without supervision, I was able to because my parents fully trusted me but I was the exception not the norm... I also don't get people with more money than sense, I grew up (and still am) firmly middle class but I was around a LOT of rich people (the school I went to is one of the best in the state), thankfully I never really got bullied over it (or really even bullied at all), the school didn't put up with entitled jerks, I would joke about them being spoiled and they would joke about me being white trash, it honestly was entirely in good faith and not bullying.
@@tateranus4365 I believe that even if your a billionares child you need to be put on a budget as a teenager. If you are allowed to spend money like you own the money presses you will not have any impulse control and probably waste a lot of money on random things that look shiny at the moment.

My mom once insisted that we refrigerate the vinegar so that it wouldn't go bad. I asked, "Why? Are you afraid it might turn back into wine?"
At least she realized the error in her reasoning at that point.

I used to be a phlebotomist. One day during a storm there were very few donors showing up so we all sat around talking until we finally got the go ahead to close the blood drive. One of my coworkers mentioned she had recently moved because her old apartment had cockroaches. The new girl chimed in asking, “what are they formed from?” Everyone took a second to ponder the question before finally someone asked her what she meant. She then explained “like ants are formed from old rotting food, so what do Cockroaches form from?” Apparently she had misunderstood when a parent had told her leaving food out was how you got ants. She was mid 20s and had 2 kids.
i worked in a five below before and i had a customer who thought there were floating type balloons and balloons that fall. she came in to return something else and started complaining that the balloons didnt work. she almost doubled down but i explained it further and ig she eventually understood. i begin to doubt her story about how the stuff she was returning didnt work as it should out the box
I like how the one guy thought explaining that his sister was sixteen when she said the dumb thing somehow obviously precluded her being baked. Some of my friends from back when I was sixteen would have been really surprised to learn that. Or actually they would've probably just giggled their asses off.
I think they were answering several different questions right after eachother like
"Was she high?" "Was she like a little kid?" etc.
A guy started at our company a few weeks back, only lasted 2.5 days, only accomplished one thing really. He put some metal brackets together for us. Two philips head screw bolts, a nut, and a spacer. He DID successfully assemble them correctly, what dropped my jaw and had me walking away was the way in which he operated the drill.
He got it to turn the screws, but not by lining up the bit into the head of the screw, it was more by... friction. He just ground the philips bit into the top of the screws, no stopping to adjust and make it grab correctly. Just loud grinding that stripped the screws out pretty bad.
I was put in charge of training the guy, but didn't say a word to him about that. If you're 44 years old you better know how to operate a fucking screw gun. It ain't my job to train someone old enough to be my dad on something so simple. You gotta have that amount of competence already when you start bro.
Recent studies show that working out until you are 1-3 reps away from failure, you get just as much muscle growth as training to failure, with far less need for recovery.
Can you share one of those studies? sounds interesting.
Anyone suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect, because (by definition) they have no idea that they're suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect. No matter how many holes you poke in their argument, or how many logical fallacies you can name, they have a half-baked justification that usually makes no sense. Then you're also up against society using most of the fallacy names wrong, like "begging the question" occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it. It does not mean "this raises the question."
that makes me think of...Flat Earthers.
they are the epitome of Dunning-Kruger.

Former military here and I've seen some special ones. At a training range, we had IBCs for drinking water (1000L container or 250gallons). They have a tap on the bottom and our storesman had it set up on 3 pallets with a small hose attached to fill your bottles with. He calls me over as im walking nearby and tells me to watch - 3x combat engineers put their water bottles on the top and drag the hose upto them and can't get water. Proceed to say it must be empty and his 2 mates sort of agreed and walked off. They are a white plastic that is transparent enough to see the level inside. It was 3/4s full. I was gobsmacked and then some infantry guys did the same a minute or so later. Storesman told me they'd been doing it constantly. They are allowed to play with bombs and grenades but don't even know about gravity.
Another time doing grenade qualifying, the CPL had to pull the same guy back down twice after he threw the grenade and it hadn't gone off in under 2 seconds so he was going to look.... first time his helmet copped a metal shard and he still did it again. Then on the 40mm grenade launcher training another stuck his finger through a hole that a rod goes through when operating and it went straight through his finger and trapped him on it. 45min trip in a normal vehicle, fire fighters to remove the weapon as you cannot take live/loaded/uncleared weapons into the hospital and he finally got treatment.
I often drove a diesel tanker to refuel tanks and fighting vehicles. The number of times people would walk upto my truck and ask if its water all while I have massive white Emergency panels on the sides stating diesel or combustible liquid, fire extinguishers set out around and other safety stuff and not 20m away is the water truck with great big white writing stating potable water astounded me. Ended up just asking if they were serious and to actually look at my truck and see if they could figure it out. Nah most still couldn't.
Good times though. Had another where a guy fell asleep during lunch break on a sports carnival, came back 30mins late but as everyone is scattered no one really knew or cared. Went straight to his sergeant to report on himself. SGT just looked at him like he's the biggest idiot ever and told him basically that. Had he said nothing he'd have gotten away with it. Had he seen his CPL first his Corporal would have handled it on the downlow. By telling the SGT he got done for it. That dude was so stupid at times though. He'd rock upto work late and walk straight out to the side of parade and stand there looking stupid. Atleast be discrete and someone may make a excuse like at the Drs or an appt or task etc. Nope stand where everyone can see and tell you are late.
I came in and found the burner on, on the gas stove. I turned it off and a friend got mad at me and turned it back on. When I asked what she was doing she said, "I'm waiting for the fire to get hot so I can make dinner!" I had to explaine the difference between a gas and electric stove to her. She had been using this stove for 4years.
I had a guy tell me and some friends about a scientific study he’d read about. I was sceptical because although the guy was lovely, he wasn’t really into science or what I would call a reader. He then went on to tell us, that if you have a dream where you are falling and you hit the ground, you will die in your dream. I kinda laughed thinking he was joking. He wasn’t… I explained how if you died when you were sleeping, nobody would know what you had dreamed about. He didn’t really get it. The worst thing was that his girlfriend at the time was fully on board with what he was saying, and also didn’t get what the issue was. None of us are friends with them anymore (for unrelated reasons), but I do miss some of the wild things he used to say.
A customer was walking out without paying for 4 XL slurpees at my 7-Eleven. When I asked her to pay, she pointed at the poster outside saying “but it’s FREE!” The poster said: ‘Try Our New Sugar Free Slurpee’

A common geographical misconception that I had to deal as a quarantine officer (we prohibited certain items based on origin), was that Israel was in Asia. It may be more that the Middle East is in Asia. I would reply back that Europe ends at the Bosphorus and the Ural Mountains and Africa ends at Sinai. Anything east of those is Asia.
That's not really _that_ stupid, as the distinction between Europe and Asia is entirely made-up. Unlike all the other continents.
I mean it is technically true. The Middle East is a Eurocentric term but it is also called Southwest Asia by others. Even the term, Middle East references the idea Europe more or less ends at the Bosphorus as it was an artifact from when Greece and the Ottoman Empire were called the Near East and China and India were the Far East.
@@emberfist8347 The final say on regulations is the definition section. If you had a question of what is meant by something in the body of a regulation you can probably find the answer in the definition section. We were taught that in our new officer training.
As an example, stop signs prior to making them more bicycle friendly. The body would say vehicles, bicycle riders would assume that meant motorized vehicles, then saying that they were exempted. The definition for vehicles gave the inclusive class of what is meant by “vehicles” that included bicycles.
I have never heard of pants needing tech support.
I was introducing myself to some people as the new guy at a university, in the US, and told them I am from Brazil. One of the girls, a university student mind you, replied "Oh cool, that's in Spain right?"
My home state in Brazil, Bahia, alone is larger than the entire country of Spain. I think I felt my brain momentarily blue-screen when I heard that. She tried to backtrack her statement saying she thought I said "Barcelona", nobody there believed her and we never let her live it down.
When I'm selling something on Facebook and someone asks "if it's available?" Of course it's available!! I wouldn't list it if it wasn't
Do you not understand that they're asking if it is _still_ available? Nobody knows whether or not they have been the first person to message you. Are you negotiating with someone else, or can they start negotiating?
@@Wendy_O._Koopa Yeah, but when I tell them it is available, they never respond after that. Why would you enquire about its availability if you never intended to buy it?
@@mpalmer22 Okay, that is weird. Normally, like 99/100 times, after you tell someone it's still available, they'll continue the discussion about when to pick it up, and they haggle over the price. In fact, the _biggest_ problem according to the internet is people haggling over the price, giving lowball offers, or downright asking for the item for free. And if it starts out free, demanding free delivery to some place hours away.
This is the first time I've heard about anyone asking if something's available, and then just ghosting the seller.

Former gf of mine was an exchange student , she was in Sheridan, Montana, she was asked if we had running water and electricity or If Hitler was still in power
Oh, so many examples, but there's one that sticks out in my mind. I used to live with three roommates, a friend, his wife, and their girlfriend. Yes you read that correctly, it's a long story I'm not going to explain. Anyway, living with them was soul crushing for a few different reasons, one of which was that they left _all the lights on in the trailer we all lived in literally 24 hours a day,_ which obviously led to really high energy bills. Well, one day, the wife roommate and I were carpooling back from our jobs and we were talking about our living arrangement, I don't remember how the conversation got there, and I said that the whole reason I traveled with them out of state was to find my own place, to which she responded, "Plus, when you move out, our electric bill we'll drop by a fourth." I didn't say anything for a few seconds before asking her where she came to that conclusion and she pointed out, "Well there's four of us living there, you're one of the four, so when you move out our electric bill will drop by a quarter." Yeah, that's not how it works... you're charged by energy usage not per person in the household, or maybe she thought I was legitimately using a quarter of the total power we were being charged which I can confidently say I wasn't. Hell, I would turn off the lights they left on whenever I was the only one in the trailer. I did eventually move out of that hellhole, and I don't have to wonder what they did when they saw their electric bill barely budged at all because they likely didn't do anything while their brain rewired themselves to just accept that it was normal. Also, the person who said that to me? She was a college graduate, by the way.

10:28 I suppose if you're flying due west at a speed equal to the rotation of the Earth at your latitude (which is about twice as fast as commercial planes fly if you're near the equator, but less if you're further north or south), that could be technically correct from the right frame of reference.

5:25 Something similar happened to me when I was in middle school. I was on the swim team, and we'd had a particularly strenuous practice this day, so I started having an asthma attack. I asked my coach, who knew that I have asthma, to use my inhaler before finishing my laps because I was literally wheezing and gasping for air. He got mad at me, said that I'd never "overcome my asthma" if I kept using the inhaler, and gave me a bunch of extra laps for asking. He literally wouldn't let me take 1-2 minutes to walk to the locker room and use my inhaler. I had no choice but to finish my laps plus the extra laps he gave me. About 5 laps later, I was starting to suffocate because I couldn't fucking breathe, and nearly passed out in the pool. My friends had to drag me out of the pool and half carry me to the locker room. They helped me get dressed, called my family to pick me up, and told the coach that I wasn't getting back in the pool that day. The coach got all pissy about it, but my friends weren't going to let me get back in, even if I had wanted to, since it was a danger to my health after such a severe asthma attack.
He did this to me again at a swim competition, the second to last competition of the season. I was not only having issues with asthma, but a severe respiratory infection at the time. After warm-ups, I started having an asthma attack, and once again, he wouldn't let me take my inhaler. I ended up getting lightheaded from my breathing issues and falling off the diving block (thankfully I fell into the water instead of on the concrete and tiles around the pool), which nearly disqualified me because the judges thought I was trying to cheat by diving early, but my coach told the judges that I just lost my balance and forced me to get back up and continue. I quit that day after that round of the competition.
What he did could have caused the serious injury and/or death of a student, yet he was allowed to keep his job until the end of the season. His daughter took over his job and she was much better, but I never rejoined the team. He should've lost his job the first time he did this, but at least the school finally realized what a piece of shit he was.
N.A education be like
I grew up in the Western US and freshman year a girl from Georgia transferred in. One of our classmates asked if she owned slaves... I think he was just being a dick, but you really never know.
For Story 6, this may come as a shock to some people, but there is no such thing as a standard IQ test. Oh sure, there are some that do a comparatively better job at measuring someone's mental capacity, but even these come with problems. You can take two of these tests, and one could score you high while the other scores you low, and unfortunately, unless you work with these tests for a living, it is impossible to tell which was more accurate at gauging you, amd even then, there is a good chance that everything shown is wrong.
It does not help that the entire history of IQ tests is quite f^^^ed-up. Some of the first IQ tests included questions like "How do you approach someone of a higher/lower station than you" or "Which knot is used for this point on this schooner". I am not kidding when I tell that the IQ test began when eugenics and social darwinism were first gaining significant traction - and that alone should tell you what IQ tests were usually used for, and some places _still_ use IQ tests for such purposes.

Okay but that airplane one is kind of correct
It's not though. Aircraft don't fly nearly high enough to exit the Earth's rotation in any capacity.
It is though, not entirely correct but they're almost there. It's more of the wind pushes the plane around, hence why to fly in a straight line you gotta turn a bunch
@@cluelessbread1520 But that's wind, which has nothing to do with the Earth rotating at all.
Which has to do with the rotation of the earth. I said it's not exactly, but it's not entirely incorrect, whether they meant it or not.
@@cluelessbread1520 Most wind is caused by heat differentials on the Earth's surface. The rotation of the Earth has some bearing on wind's direction and it causes some negligible wind, but not enough to say that it plays a major factor in flight beyond the Coriolis effect.
