No, this thread is not about about embarrassing moments (although they can be). I'm talking about stupidity moments, the moments that you encounter that you find so stupid, you are tempted to perform an IQ test just to figure out if these moments resulted from some form of severe mental damage.

For instance, the following are true examples of stupidity moments that I've encountered. I happen to personally know someone who embodies these types of moments all the time. We live in Wisconsin, and this person, who shall remain nameless, decided to go on a hunting trip with her family. While on this hunting trip, a deer jumped out of the bushes startling her. Upon seeing this creature jump out of the bushes, the first words out of her mouth was, "Hey look! It's a kangaroo!" Apparently the way the deer jumped out of the bushes looked like a kangaroo to her, but how she came up with the logical conclusion that a kangaroo instead of a deer was leaping around in northern Wisconsin woods is beyond my comprehension.

And another stupidity story, about the same person, occurred in a parking lot as she went to retrieve her car. Directly before she went to retrieve her car, a couple of criminals decided to break into her car and decided to steal all of her stuff. Upon seeing that all her windows had been broken into and all her stuff was missing, she thought instead of the logical conclusion that criminals had robbed her of all her possessions, that her family rather had created a mess inside her car. She then proceeded to complain about how messy her family was. After her friends pointed out the evidence that her family probably didn't make a mess, but rather her car clearly looked like it had been broken into, she finally became convinced that someone had broken into her car. She then proceeded to call the police. The police official on the phone asked her a series of questions including information about her license plate number. After the police official asked about her license plate number, she stated she couldn't remember her license plate number due to the fact that she just purchased a new car and hadn't bothered to remember the license plate number yet. This seems like a reasonable excuse to forget a license plate number, only the license plate that was on the car happened to be a personalized license plate that she chose herself, which just happened to contain the nickname of one of her family members. While I guess it can be possible for someone to forget a license plate number, it's difficult to believe that someone would forget a personalized license plate, especially if all you had to do to remember it was simply to remember a nickname of one of your family members.

These stories also don't count the two friends of mine that nearly killed themselves by deciding to hold a lit firecracker in their hands, or deciding to hit a live bee hive with a baseball bat. No, they were not auditioning for the TV show Jackass. They seriously thought that these were good ideas.

So, now it's your turn. Have you encountered any moments of extreme stupidity? Or have you done any moments of extreme stupidity yourself? Post away.

And I hope I don't seem too judgmental post or my definition of these type of moments, but it sometimes is hard to dispute what can be classified as stupidity moments. We all have them, but sometimes they just occur more often than others.

Also note that all the people that I mentioned in these stories agree that these can be classified as stupidity moments.

hehe, thats cute, a kangaroo ;P
the second case was a little bit too troubling to conclude such things o.o

well, i dont know whether this can be included..its just a small matter though..my sis and i went to a boutique..i saw this dress, and feel like , wow! thats so stylish o.o ...and in a second, my sis said..that's a pregnant mom's dress...and then, i quickly realise it is, seeing how big the tummy part of the dress..so i quickly said, yeah of course i know that..felt a little stupid for not realising it from the first place..after all, the dress was located at mummy's session .. there's a big banner right on top of it..-_-;

LMAO! xDDD That made my day before New Years. xD; Well, to be honest now I have no idea for myself. I'm sure there were many stupid moments but the one that strikes me right away I am clueless. =w=;

ROFL. Kangaroo~~

Well, stupidity moments like that happen to me all the time. There was this one time when I was in Biology class and we were talking about osmosis and diffusion and all that good stuff. So then all of a sudden the teacher goes, "Do you know why we should always drown in saltwater and not in lakewater?? Yi??" And obviously, because of the lesson, it had to do with osmosis or diffusion, and therefore I would have at least been half-smart in using the word osmosis in my answer. Stupidly, I said, "Because there's no jellyfish in the oceans??" First of all, there are jellyfish in the oceans. Second of all, I don't even know how jellyfish came into my mind!! I could have just been no miss, or something, but no, I had to answer and use jellyfish. xPP My friends still won't let me live that one down.

There was also this other time when we were in English class, and we were reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The blurb said something about forbidden love, and so when the teacher asked the class what they thought the book was going to be about, I raised my hand and said, "I think it's about two gay people." Everyone started cracking up. Huck Finn is a classical book, so obviously it won't be about two gay people. [In case you guys don't know, it's about 'fatherly love' between a white kid and a slave. xPP]

I was talking with a free while I was walking and looking at a tree But what I forgot , that tree was right before my nose. So it's clear ; I walked against that tree :']

A few years ago in class I was talking about my father how he passed away and stuff and my teacher called my and I seriously said What's worng dad? That was so emberassing> And I had only 2 friends back then, so that didn't do anything good.
