People shared the most stupid things anyone said to them – the 22 best/worst
We’ve all heard someone say something stupid, and – if we’re honest – we’ve all said something stupid. So. when Twitter user, Mark Magark, asked people to share these stupid comments, there were plenty of examples to draw from.
This is the tweet that started it off.
Please give me an example of something someone said to you that was so astonishingly stupid that you can never forget it.

When I was working at Target, a cashier brought me a customer's ID that was left behind. I said I'd lock it up at the service desk until they come for it. She asked, "How will we know it's them?"
I just stared at her, held up the ID and said, "They'll look like this." https://t.co/b3qkF82GLf— Doug Brooks (@DesertVol) August 19, 2018

After explaining to a lecture hall full of college seniors how evolution works, my tired, world weary biodiversity prof asked us if we had any questions. A guy behind me raised his hand and said, with barely restrained excitement: "So how long before humans evolve ROBOT ARMS" https://t.co/18paMYJsGp

I once had a coworker who thought pepperoni was a vegetable. He was Catholic, his mom always got them pizza on Fridays, and he assumed she’d never cheat the rules. He was like 46. https://t.co/VvLMcZgfpI

When I worked in an adult IT training centre, a student opened the filing cabinet, where we kept the printouts of student's work in individually named folders. She opened her folder, got my attention and said, "John, where's my work? I saved it to my folder but it's empty." https://t.co/TlFfnh00S6

For some reason I discussed male birthcontrol with a friend. He said he would never take a pill with hormones because it messes with the body. I asked him what he thinks the female pill does. He responded that the uterus closes so sperm cannot enter…

One time I was with my English friend, and we were talking to this girl. And the girl was like, ‘you’re from England?’ my friend nods. ‘England, Paris?’
This girl thought England was a city in the country of Paris.
