Rage-Inducing Moments of Ignorance and Stupidity

[Sunrider]

A 15 year old in advanced classes had NO F&%$ING IDEA what communism is. Really? Thats like going "Hitler who?".

Haha, that reminded me. A friend named his character Stalin in....whatever game it was, I don't remember. His 16-year-old brother walks into the room, looks at the monitor, looks at us and says "Why did you name him Stalin? Is he some famous guy or something?"

I apologise for going here, but I'm a WoW-nut so...

Went to a random heroic dungeon with 2 guildies, our tank was crap, great gear but couldn't survive and hold aggro, he leaves, the random mage in the group starts flaming our healer friend who hadn't done anything but spam-heal the tank, with no success. Another tank joins, worse gear than the first one, gets splattered all over the floor, at which point, the mage flames yet again, calling our healer friend a noob, and using the "my main is a [insert random class who the person he is trying to flame, is]. We all start flaming back, to which he responds "shut up, noobs" and leaves the group.

These kind of events make me lose faith in humanity. >_<

I'm building up a healer in WoW, and now have stopped using the Dungeon Finder entirely because of idiotic groups.
Example: In one section of Blackfathom Deeps (fairly easy to heal, I've cleared it no sweat with guildie alts helping me get healer xp), there is a room that has extremely dense enemy volumes (most of whom are high-damage warlocks with voidwalkers). There is also a boss in the center of said room. Our pug tank decided to round the corner running, pull every damn thing in the room, and promptly blame me for not saving him from the fifteen or so elites beating on his ass...not so much fun.

My brother and his friend, who are both freshmen , were in gym class one day, and these two girls come up to them and ask, "are you two twins?" My brother starts to screw with them, saying,
"Yes, we are. There were three of us though. We lost him on our way over here to escape the Cold War in France. Poor Jacque." They both believed him and his friend.

Internet forum sophmorism.

1. You write something.

2. Some kid who thinks forums are for arguing skims your message and misinterprets what you wrote in such a way that they can find something to argue with.

3. You explain to them that there's nothing to argue, they just misunderstood what you wrote.

4. Because they only skim your messages, they misinterpret your clarification as a reply to the argument they are attempting to pick, and test their creativity in finding somethings wrong with it so that they can "win."

5. Step 3-4 will repeat itself endlessly until:

6. Raging, yet worn down by the sheer wall of ignorance and stupidity, you break down and tell them that you already clarified several times and, if they can't get it, they're obviously just too immature to understand you, and should stop pestering you for clarification.

7. Other party gets offended at your refusal to pay attention to them anymore and tries desperately to bring things back to stage #4.

8. Next thing you know, you're slapped with a probation by a forum mod who does not understand the personal hell you've been through.

True story. Granted, #8 usually doesn't happen, but I've found myself in 1-7 repeatedly over the past few months.

I had a religious friend who was an absolute gold mine of brazen stupidity.

Two things I had to argue about until I wanted to kill him.

He got into the Young Earth movement in high school. Basically it lists out a genealogy in the bible and if you add all of the ages up it basically says the Earth is roughly 5000 years old. He got into a big argument with him about this and I ended up saying "Wouldn't the number you come up with assume that thier son was born on the exact day they died?" Which was of course true and he didn't have an answer to.

He told me that The Grand Canyon was impossible to form naturally because it would require water to flow up. I don't understand why he thought this and he was never capable of explaining it. He eventually admitted he was wrong about this when he visited Arizona and realized it was damn near flat for miles around the grand canyon.

This wasn't rage inducing so to speak. It was so far off the stupid scale it was shocking.

The one thing that he wished he never said out loud. We were having an argument about dinosaurs. He believed that all animals including dinosaurs were at one point alive at the same time. My argument was that modern animals and people wouldn't be able to survive at the same time as dinosaurs because they wouldn't be able to compete. The massive holes in his argument became larger and larger as he realized while he had spent his entire youth reading the bible to the point of being able to quote verses I had been learning basically everything else. Finally he got mad and yelled at me in class "Have you ever thought that there was no such thing as dinosaurs and Satan put the bones in the ground to trick you away from God?!" everybody in the class was sitting and staring at us and all I could think to say was "No. I honestly have never stopped and brought that to consideration."

This one was so stupid it was hilarious

He managed to make varsity basketball team because he was a fairly decent player and everybody on our team sucked. He was never really one of the cool kids, he spent four years hanging around with our own group we formed. But when he joined the team he started hanging out with the cool kids and he decided to go out drinking with them. He ended up getting completely smashed on two light beers and making a complete ass of himself. Everybody was making fun of him and pretty much insulting him to his face, but he was convinced they were laughing with him not at him. I've never seen someone transcend to a level of idiocy that they can think they are the most popular person in school while they were actually the laughingstock.

Oh god....

On my death knight once, from ANOTHER death knight, "are you wearing a shield?".

Also, death knight gearing in general.

Seriously. The death knight forums get one armoury thread a week.

i got quite a few, living in "Bored as hell so lets do stupid shit" Ohio.

first, an idiot girl

hanging out at my friends house, playing one of the old squad based Xmen game for no other reason then where bored.

Girl "What are you two doing?"
me and my friend at the same time "Playing Xmen"
"What are the xmen? are they some sort of sports team?"
*Double face palm*

next, a fight at my old school
im sitting there, minding my own, eating what i think is chicken, laughing it up with my friends, when these two black guys start yelling and cursing each other out, then, insted of throwing a punch, they just grab each other where it looks like there hugging, and they fall onto a tabel, knocking themselfs out. i thought i was going to have an Asthma Attack i was laughing so hard.

and last, but not least, a "I lost a friend" thing
well, ive been going out with my girlfriend for over a year now, and its great, i love her, and she loves me, we have a lot of fun, and she likes video games and anime (Which i think is awesome) but anyway, my friend, he starts hitting on her, via text message no less, while im in the same room. the next time i saw him, i told him to back off, or else. (Mind you, im a 6'1, 118 pound white nerd, but i am a Tae Kwon Do red belt) he started giving me shit on how i couldent handel her in the bed, which made me lose it and kicked him in the side of his fat head. dont get me wrong, he got what was comming to him, but it was one of those things where you wonder "Did i just do that?"

thanks, i do feel bad about it, kinda, not for him, asshole got what was comming to him, but for my best friend, who is his roommate, oh, the cherry on top, fat head and i have known each other for 10 years.

 

[Olrod]

I was in my 9th english clase and we were talking about heroes, and some dumb girl asks What is a hero? Everyone laught

Why? It's a valid question if she meant What IS a Hero? in the context of:

"What is the criteria used for determining if someone should be known as a Hero, what defining characteristics are there that classifies a character or archetype as being worth of Hero status, and how/why did society come to this conclusion when arguably, some of these points could be considered arbitrary?"

If she just meant it as "What does that word mean?" then it does imply she hasn't been paying attention.

 

[Biosophilogical]

I was on the bus on my way to school, and some blue-shirt (grades 8-10, 11 and 12 are white shirts) keeps going, 'Your gay, you ******, etc etc'. It wasn't directed at me, it was just him being retarded, so I told him to stop being such a homophobe in an attempt to make him go 'oh ...'. The thing is, it didn't work, instead he asked what a homophobe is ... I Mean Seriously! A Good Private School and the Kid Doesn't Even Know What a Homophobe Is!

 

[Mar451]

Advanced English IV...two people were about to get in a fistfight...the teacher asked why...one looked at her and said, "Miss Bateman, wasnt Vietnam fought in Korea?" The look on her face was one of shock, then she thought they were screwing with her...then it was just a face that could only be described as sad.

Another freshman girl asked, "Nelson Mendella... wasn't he a cookie?"

Another Senior confused Hitler, Lincoln, and Einstein...on looks.

Today my teacher told me he supported Sarah Palin and she was a very intelligent person...fml

I remember another thing, again related to WoW, I'm afraid.

This video got posted on www.MMO-Champion.com, if a person in a guild who took down Lich King 10-man for the first time. The guy starts flaming everyone in the guild, up to and past the point where he should have been guildkicked 14 times. The further into the conversation they get(Ventrilo convo), the bigger an ass he makes of himself, even admitting that he was invited to the raid, but didn't show up, despite people trying to reach him for ages.
He spouts wave after wave of personal attacks, which all the other people on VT just laugh up, ranging from "You are all noob players, I'm the best player on the server" to "My girlfriend is model hot, I bet you are all faggots who live with your moms." It'd be pathetic if it wasn't so damn funny to listen to.

If anyone want to hear it(incredibly funny), search for Peachy Keen Lich King on Youtube.

People being wrong on the internet. Some fine examples in this very thread. I just don't bother trying correcting them anymore.

There was this Swedish girl on Facebook who asked: "Why do they have the wind turbines turned on, it's already blowing outside? hahaha clever[1]"

1. No, not clever as in "I should write jokes, this one was good." but clever as in "Why hasn't anyone else thought of that? Sometimes I surprise myself."

This other time I asked my friend what kind of trees spaghetti grows on...
There's an explanation:
I was young.
The other day I had seen that Jimmy Neutron episode where the two friends fight over this and it must have confused me because I knew pasta didn't grow and I remembered this before my friend realized what it was I had asked.

That's a shame. There are a number of better ways to argue for creationism that have originated over the years.

In general, it's too bad that a lot of Christian laymen feel the need to seize on what they deem sensational scientific proof instead of sticking to their faith and a few general observations.
