In geography, "the world's population in roughly 6 billion"

Ditzy girl: "does that like, include the dead people, in the ground?"

 

[Frizzle]

I remember a funny dumb blonde girl in my teen years. My geography teacher was explaning something with the map of the world. She raises her hand and say "What's on the otherside of the earth"? For a second, we were all saying "whaaat?". She never learned that the earth was round till that day.

Most of these are really dumb. But, how.. I mean... I can't go more than maybe 2 weeks without some sort of reference to the shape of the Earth. She truely never learned that? I'm really just sitting here in awe of that situation...
I guess it's not her fault, but still.

"How do you make that backwards b?"

The stuff of legends.

I heard someone say "How do you make that downwards arrow?". Basically how to make the opposite of ^. Someone answered their question.

They missed the button on their keyboard with 'V'. I lol'd

Were people playing the ^<V game? I think I've seen someone not figure that out before too.

D:

I used the '\ /' process which looks like '\/'. Im so dumb at times...

anyway, LETS EAT SOME GLASS! [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AljqKtlLenambqEe_K65YUcjzKIX;_ylv=3?qid=20090323100746AAFiPnU]

While working a tech support job two years ago (I was tech support for Microsoft), walking someone through registering their 360:

Me: Okay, now I'm going to need your telephone number.
Caller: *long pause* ...Is that written on the console somewhere?

(people used to wonder why I painted a target on my mousepad. I use this story to explain why)

This wasn't asked of me directly but still goes down as one of the dumbest things Ive heard. While walking along the Miniature version of the Brooklyn bridge outside of the NEW YORK NEW YORK Casino, I over heard a woman ask her husband 'Is this the actual size of London bridge?' *facepalm*

Imagine this;

Your nephew and his girlfriend move to a new house and ask you to come over. So the next day you're standing in front of the house and ring the bell, his girlfriend opens the door sees me and utters the the words; Hi Jeffrey, could you find it?

In my school, there's a guy named Jesse, he is the most clueless guy evar. He never gets anything the first time (unless its involves computers) and he makes hilarious comments all the time, although they have to be in context: Why do they give you a 4 when you go to the hospital.

When someone says something clueless, we say they've "pulled a Jesse"

I currently live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so there aren't a lot of people who know that town even exists. I'm used to people on campus asking me where the town is, to which I reply "It's about a half an hour drive north of here."

I had one person reply with:

"Ah. So how long does it take you to get here every day?"

To which I just sighed and stared.

She was the kind of social spoiled brat with parents that didn't do much but buy stuff. She dated one of my friend and her IQ went 20 points up. The guy is a genius.

When I was in Year 3 at school a girl asked "How do you spell 'dog'?". I recall laughing a lot, and then being told off by the teacher.

Some guy asked me, "On a plane, what color is the black box?"
Me: "Uh... black?"
Guy: "No! Orange, idiot!"
He walked away with a smirk. I didn't know whether to be sad for my own stupidity or angry for the guy's stupid question/randomnness.

it is actually Orange.

But only a douchebag would feel smug about shouting that fact to someone.

"How do you make that backwards b?"

The stuff of legends.

I heard of that, it truly is the stuff of legends. There were some people, strangely enough, trying to defend that person on some website I saw.

Would have made sense to put this in my original post, but here it is.

Spoiler: Screencap lol

So they tried to defend this guy you say?

Ahhh, motivators, they are hated so.
