Have you ever heard someone say something that just made you drop your jaw because
... well, you couldn't believe that anyone that stupid existed?
I have.
And I am ashamed to say, that I hear these things on almost a daily basis. Dx
Two words: Geo class.


Story time with Gavrilla! Huzzah! ;D
I'm in the 11th grade, but I got put into gr. 10 Geography this year because I couldn't fit it into my school-schedule last year. Dx
My school is huge (15 hundred kids from gr.10 - 12 ) therefore every class is with a bunch of different people, this year I got put in a class with a bunch of idiots! DX< There are only four relatively smart people in the class, myself included.


You don't believe?! D:
I shall give examples!

[watching a documentary on the world wide food crisis, it shows a starving child in Africa who has a bloated stomach. Taylor gets upset and begins shouting ....]

Taylor: Holy crap! Look at that kid! He's fat! What's he doing in this movie?!
Robyn, Melissa, and I: [jaws dropped and speechless]
Ericka: I know!! He's fatter than me!

[Taylor, Ericka, and two other kids in that corner continue freaking out about the starving "fat kid" in the documentary.]

Melissa: He's not fat. It's an infection, he hasn't gotten enough nutrients.
Taylor: Oh.

[They all turn around and continue watching the movie like nothing happened, while Robyn, Melissa, and I, are in complete shock that they thought he was fat! Dx]

This was the only time my jaw has ever dropped and I've been rendered speechless.


•••


[The teacher, who's from Newfoundland, uses this saying ....]

Teacher: It's like pea soup.
Taylor: Ha! Ha! Ha!
Teacher: What's so funny?
Taylor: What the hell's pea soup?
Teacher: You're kidding me.
Taylor: What? Is it a Newfoundland thing?

[Silence]

Me: It's a type of soup.
Taylor: What's it made out of?
Teacher: Peas.
Taylor: That sounds disgusting!
Ericka: Who'd eat that?!
Taylor: I know!! ... Is it green?
Ericka: Eww!

[Apparently Ericka didn't know what pea soup it was either ... -__- ;;]


•••


There's some more stories but those were the most memorable.
My entire class is on par with these kids.
It's ridiculous.
And ironically both Taylor and Ericka have a crush on each other, I think they suit each other.


Let's hear your stories!
Were you ever rendered speechless by someone's stupidity?
Do tell!

It is sad that that is where kids are headed now. No one seems to read books anymore :gonk:
My children will love books. I WILL BEAT A LOVE OF BOOKS INTO THEM.
...I won't *beat* them, but OMG, if they become that stupid I will disown them.
</rant>
That's funny those two have a crush on each other. May they get together and not figure out how to reproduce.

Hmm, I actually do have a few examples. I wish I could say I didn't, but it seems like you can't get through life anymore without encountering stupidity. I mean, I know everyone makes mistakes once in awhile, but...sometimes, it's just...too much.

Example 1: Today, one of my coworkers got arrested for shoplifting. Who the hell shoplifts from the grocery store they work at? He had apparently done it a few times before because one of the store directors called a cop and had him led away in handcuffs.

Example 2: I was riding in car with 3 other friends. While we were going through a light, some car turned in front of us, clearly not having the right of way. The driver who turned in front of us saw that we were going to hit her car...AND SHE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES so my friend hit her bumper.

Example 3: The lights were being worked on at a four-way intersection by a college downtown. Rather than the repair men making the lights blink for all directions, they made them blink for two directions. This caused major trouble because from where my dad and I were sitting in the car, we couldn't tell the lights weren't blinking for the other direction. We nearly got hit by a huge truck because the repairmen were idiots.

Example 4: Nearly every segment I've seen of Bush talking. Enough said.

I hate stupid people. They make me angry.

I was in geography my freshman year.
Now, most everyone in almost every single one of my classes is stupid. But in this class, there was a particularily dull girl. She was a junior. And our geography teacher taught US history, too. so, this girl would always do her history homework in geography. The following is a conversation I had with her: (Please note that I was not in history at that time. ((even though everyone knows this bit of history before their freshman year.)))

Her: Where is Pearl Harbor?
Me: Hawaii.
Her: Really?
Me: Yes.
Her: I thought it was in Japan.
Me: Tiff, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor. Why would they bomb themselves? Think about it.
Her: But, I still don't think it's in Hawaii.
Me: (opens her history book the the index, finds section about Pearl Harbor, skims through, points to page.) See, Tiff. Right there in your book. It says ...in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii...
Her: Oh, but I still don't believe it.
Me: I will bring you a map.

Next day, I brought her a map with Pearl Harbor circled. (The island was Oahu, right?)
Her: Oh. I see.

And all of her lines were said in that annoying cheerful, preppy, high pitched bubbly voice.

Yesterday on the bus, two guys were standing in front of the place where I was sitting. They didn't look too clever (in fact I could just imagine them as construction workers with a sweaty T-shirt and half-bared butt crack, shouting at random girls in the street) and were laughing at something in a very "hur-hur-hur" way, but I decided to ignore them because I was re-reading my exam material.

And then one of them started speaking LOUDLY. As if he was proud of what he was saying.

One: "Hurhurhur. And, y'know, yeah, I been with this girl for two weeks, right? Hurhur. I cheated on her."
Two: "Uhhurhurhur. No way. Huh."
One: "Sure I have. FIVE TIMES. Ahhurhurhurhur! Five times in two weeks."
Two: *makes some "oh my goodness you're the awesomest person in the world"-type noises*
One: "Five times! Hurhurhur! Yeah, two times with Jessica, and two times with Jo, and... and one time with that chick from the pub! HURHURHUR!!!"

I made a note to myself to put a hammer in my purse whenever I go out again, and if I ever meet another person who is so openly proud of himself because he cheats on his partner, it's crotch-bashing time.

They DO read books. Twilight.

But... That doesn't count, does it, because it pretty much rots your brain, being so suckish and all.

My classmates are the same. x_x I fail to see why they find Physics so damn hard.

Twilight is not a proper book.
Brave New World is a proper book.

Lol, I have another Pearl Harbor story.

A family I knew, lived in rural Ireland and loved the land but hated the people because they were just so backward. They pulled their kids out of the schools I think, but one of the incidents that led up to that was:

Teacher: "The Japanese never would have bombed Pearl Harbor if the Americans hadn't bombed Hiroshima."

Note, the TEACHER said this to the class.

Keep in mind I am ethnic Bulgarian. There was one person I knew in school I was never able to convince that Bulgarians didn't eat dogs. ::stare::

In COLLEGE I was not able to convince my Russian professor (from North Dakota, but I went to U of AL) that Bulgarians shake their head "Yes" and nod "No". Apparently someone he knew told him they didn't and he just didn't want to believe the truth, small as it was. :roll:

It's enough to make someone want to take up psychology to figure these people out.

You guys have great stories!
The Hiroshima stories sound like something someone from my geo class would say.

@Jenova:
Yes! Beat books into your children! Dx
(although not literally, that sounds painful.)
Books are wonderful little creatures that came down from the heavens to give humans worth while entertainment!
I love books, if I could, I would breed with a book (although, like before, that sounds rather painful.)

As you've said, Taylor and Ericka's attempts at reproduction will probably look something like my mental images of
failed attempts at reproducing with a book.
Sad, and somewhat disturbing.

@Volucrian:
Wow. That's ridiculous.
"Hurhurhur, I'm going to die a lonely man, hurhurhur."
He's so going to blow all chances of getting married and living happily or something,
but hey! I think he deserves it!
...
I'd understand if they were single and going on about all the one-night stands they've gotten,
but glamorizing about the idea of cheating on your girlfriend.
I feel bad for the girl. ;__;
...
Actually, she must not have been terribly bright to be dating this guy. :/
I just hope she doesn't end up with another guy like that afterward.
I think that she should find herself in a situation much like Taylor and Ericka's! ;D
They're stupid but right on par with each other.
(I have to admit though, as much as I can't tolerate them, they are good people. :/ )

Oh my goodness, that reminds me of some of the moments on a lot of the MTV reality shows aired these days.

I've had some silly "blonde" moments, if you will, of my own or maybe with my fiance, but not in the classroom. I like to keep my intelligence there, and that's best done with my mouth shut, as the saying goes. I have my smarts, but I swear I'm not as intelligent as my friends and family boast me with the silly things I forget and/or confuse.

If I can recall any of my embarrassing moments, or anyone else's, I'll be sure to share the laugh with you.

I have a few such stories. :|

I remember my senior English class. We were studying a poem on war, and it was pretty intense. We separated into study groups for our projects, and I worked quietly with a few of the brighter students. I can hardly remember her name, but an uppity popular girl broke the silence by asking aloud “What the hell is cud?”

Me: It’s the contents of a cow’s first stomach. They throw it up, chew it again, and then restart on digesting it.

Her: No it’s not!

Me: I thought you didn’t know what it was.

Her: It’s none of your business! Did I ask you? Wow you’re soooo retarded..

Me: I was just trying to help you, this paper has a deadline.

Her: Who cares, you don’t have any right to talk to me. I know what it is, anyway! It’s the afterbirth of a cat. I should know, my mom’s a vet. (The week before, I’d overheard her say her mother was a lawyer, and I heard from a friend in the school paper that she was really an average home-maker. That‘s nothing to be ashamed of, in my opinion.)

Me: (Gets out dictionary and reads definition.)

Her: Oh, you’d know a thing or two about cows, wouldn’t you?

Everyone in class: Laughing hysterically.

Me: (Palm to face, wondering why I even bother.)

It's amazing how there's people like that out there.
But honestly,
I can't believe that she was mocking you!
She sounds incredibly insecure :/
....
That really annoys me! Dx<
I wish I had some form of super villain powers so I could smite her.
That would give me a feeling of accomplishment. -__-
No one should be treated in the way she was treating you.
I'm hoping she's not a terribly popular girl,
but I wouldn't be surprised if she was ...
it's always the extremely popular ones
that can get away with being that way (and being ridiculously stupid).

My manger says stupid things all the time. It's stuff like him saying I don't understand his work when I used to manage the department for a few months when there was no manager and I did more than he does now. I also had someone wonder why their gecko wasn't moving when they had no heating for it. I hear things like that on ad aily basis, which is why I dislike a lot of people in general.

Really?
The Picture of Dorian Grey dissapointed me,
it didn't live up to my expectations. ;__;
But I do love the ending!
...
[spoiler]but I hate that my two favorite characters die! [/spoiler]
First they kill Basil, now Allan?! Dx
Ehh ... it made me sad. ;__;

One book I recommend to you is:
The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo.
My. Favorite. Book. Ever.
If you've seen the Disney version, I guarantee that the book is very different! And even better (I did enjoy the Disney movie.)
The beginning was very slow and I had no idea what was going on,
but it turned into something great. I was hooked after hearing about the priest who does witchcraft. ;D
But it's a book for people who can tolerate reading literature that only uses vocabulary like:
"thee", "thy", "hither and thither", "even and anon".

...
it's funny, :/
I bet you that I might be one of the only people in my school that has read anything like that and enjoyed it. >__<

Old literature for the win. u__u
Anyone with me?

Well the pea soup thing did make me think of something stupid one of my friends did. XD Back when we were in high school, the principal one time wanted us to write a "creative story". @[email protected] And the thing about him was he would make us start with a specific sentence... Which honestly, I'm not good at writing stories to begin with, making me use some stupid sentence to start it off with makes it even worse. But anyways, the sentence he gave us was something like, "The fog was as thick as pea soup." Well my friend took that literally... She is definitely even less of a writer than I am, reading and writing and generally anything to do with English class is not her thing at all. So she began writing something like, "I do not like pea soup. It is not very good." Or something to that effect. XD Basically writing about how she disliked pea soup and thought it was gross. I thought it was hilarious but I figured it served the principal right that the students didn't even comprehend it and did the assignment wrong because it was such a stupid assignment. I don't even think I did it, I ended up with a blank paper. When I read my friend's story I almost wish I had done the same thing, only out of sarcasm rather than misunderstanding. I don't really remember anything else about it but I somehow doubt we even got graded on that thing or that it counted for much.
