In 12th grade. Going on a class trip to Disney. Teacher chaperons are all bustling around us at the gate to our plane making sure everyone is ready to board.
Idiot Girl: “I lost my boarding pass! I must have left it at the bookstore I was browsing in”
Teacher: “Run back to the bookstore and see if they have it”
Girl leaves for like 5 minutes and returns
Teacher: “did you find it?”
Girl: “No”
Teacher: “Did you go back to the bookstore you were in before?”
Girl: “No, that one was really far away, so I went to the closer one.”
Class: silently stare with mouths open.

The Captain just stared at him.

In High School: “My uncle was once thrown out of his jeep window when it rolled over and he was fine. It’s safer not to wear a seatbelt because you can be launched away from the accident.”

My coworker when talking about how versatile and amazing potatoes are. “I love potatoes so much. Like, I don’t understand how the Irish got sick of them during the famine.” Then she argued with me when I tried to correct her. She’s 27.

I overheard two women talking about a party that one of them was planning. They hit the topic about getting ice for the party.
One of them suggested that the other look into renting an instant ice machine. The other asked what is an instant ice machine. So she explains that it is the same thing that they have at serve yourself soda fountains and that it will instantly make as much ice as you want. All you have to do is push the lever and you will never run out of ice.
The first woman tried to explain that the ice just falls out of a hopper, but the second woman would not believe her and kept insisting that it was instant and would make an infinite amount of ice.

While trying to help someone with their geography, I pointed at a map and asked her to identify the place I was pointing at. She said “Texas”… I was pointing at India. She later said that Africa was South America.
She was 26 at the time.

“I can’t believe anybody thinks evolution is real. How stupid is it to believe that you can take a rock and it will slowly evolve into a cat over hundreds of years.”
Unfortunately I worked with this person, and he was quite adamant that evolution meant everything evolved from rocks and boulders.

I went to Barne’s and Noble looking for a copy of Commentaries on the Gallic War by Julius Caesar ideally in both English and Latin (I’m a Roman history geek and wanted to improve my Latin, which sucks).
I went to the counter and asked the girl working there about it, she didn’t even type in the computer, just looked at me and said “You know he isn’t a real person right”.
“Who isn’t real?” I asked.
“Julius Caesar, he was just a character in a Shakespeare play”.
I was absolutely stunned, my usually smart ass mouth completely failed me as did my ability to issue an adult like rebuttal. When I replied I sounded like a pouting toddler.
“…He was TOO real.

“The tax in Canada is 13%!!!!! Go wait in the car, I’ll talk to them about this!”
Followed by
“Well in Pennsylvania it’s 6% so I don’t have to pay your absurd taxes here. I AM AN AMERICAN!”
I was in Niagara Falls (Canadian side) and the American family across from me thought that they didn’t have to pay the full sales tax in Canada because they weren’t used to it.

I work in technical support for the security company. The following are a pool of my favorites:
“Approximately how long is sixty seconds?”
“Can’t you just email me a new battery?”
“My smoke detector just started screaming, and now my house is filling with smoke, what is wrong with this thing?”
“Can you just tell me the code before the cops get here please?”
and my all time favorite (and no I am not making this up):
“Last night I was abducted and taken up to the mothership again. I checked my cameras, and they show me in bed all night, what the hell is up with these cameras?
