@Am I the Genius What was up with story #2? Are you a flat earther?
Edit: Nevermind. I Just got to #19. But #2 really does sound like someone arguing *for* the existence of gravity
What happened with the strikes
What game was that in the background
I absolutely love the idea of an “F off” pass once a year. The customer who received it should accordingly be banned from the premises for a year as a punishment.
This could and should also apply to retail workers. Jeez louise, there are entitled people shopping; a free "f off" with theoretical year ban would definitely make lives easier.
best policy ever xD, of all the terrible karens the server had to deal with, this would have to be the karen queen to get the annual F off from someone.
Family used to own an RV Dealership. Once witnessed my father take a customer into the room where our customer satisfaction awards were lined up. He told the guy, “Sir, our dealership has a 97% satisfaction rating but I think you belong to the 3% and should find another place to go.”
Ngl this is a really neat idea. I don’t swear myself, but I know that a lot of people around, idk that’s just how they roll lol. So I think this would be a good way to discourage customers from being a Karen, and it could allow for some great bonding between coworkers of sharing their “F-off” moments over the years lol. Like I feel like if I ever do make a business and hire employees, I might legit make this a thing or something similar
There should be a wall with their pics
My friend looked at me dead serious and said "How do you do uppercase numbers??". I started crying I was laughing so hard and when they realized they fell on the floor and started rolling around from pure embarrassment. we had a good laugh out of that one 😭
I am pretty sure that thought occurred to me once. Very confusing!
I told a telemarketer that I couldn't speak English. She apologized and hung up.
I work at a phone store and we get people coming in all the time with water damaged phones. I had a guy yelling at me mad saying “how dare you assume I damaged my phone with water, I’m from the military” where I replied “thank you for your service but I don’t know why that matters in this context” and then I showed him that when you moved his phone you saw the water move.
I have no idea how that happens these days as most are very water resistant up to certain depths. I still wouldnt want to get water on one if I can help it.
In my high school physics class, the teacher showed a short film where "Isaac Newton" was explaining his three laws. After the film, one girl asked the teacher how, if Isaac Newton had lived in the early 18'th century, he could be in a movie, since movies didn't get invented until 200 years later. The teacher had to spend the next 15 minutes trying to explain this to her, while the rest of us were head down on our desks laughing.
My brain hurts from all the dumb.
"you can't fly to korea, it's an island" alone gave me two strokes

About 5 years ago, I saw my friend and his sister walking down the street outside my house, and we got chatting. It was a very hot day, so I invited them in for a cold drink. When I got the ice cube tray out to ice the drinks, my friend's sister said "How do you cut the ice into such smooth cubes to fit in the tray?". Thinking she was joking, I laughed. But she was dead serious. So I said, in disbelief that I was actually having to explain this to a grown adult, "You pour liquid water into the tray and then freeze it". She looked at me like I was speaking an alien language. 10 minutes of agonised explanation later, the truth finally comes out. This woman, in her mid 20s, has absolutely no idea that ice is, in fact, frozen water!
Holy fuck! What the hell did she think it was????

Have shared this story before and will undoubtedly will share it again because it was the most idiotic thing I have ever heard.
At the time Australia was going through a huge fire season as the land was parched due to drought, lives and property had been lost. Driving down a road flanked by the railway line on one side and a natural bushland area on the other which had high, barb wire topped fencing, I noticed a small amount of smoke curling up among the trees, then saw flames. Having no phone I rushed to nearby shops , less than a minute away to call the fire brigade, deciding to buy some lunch when I was there. Within minutes a fire truck screamed by, someone wondered where they were going so I mentioned that I had called them to a fire in the bush area. I heard a scoff behind me, a woman said she had seen the fire from the train and that it was only a small one so why would I waste the fire dept’s time by reporting it. Her reasoning was that I should have waited until it was bigger before reporting it so the fire dept had something worth their time. Called her an idiot, that area backed onto a school and houses, it didn’t matter how small a fire was, a single match can burn down a house. Drove by a few minutes later, the firemen had put the fire out using hand tools, the truck was still fully equipped to battle any emergency situations.
thats like the myth about waiting 24 hours before reporting someone's disappearance
Its stupid and Would most likely result in deaths that could have been otherwise avoided
I was at a nature reserve in the UK during a heat wave and spotted a fire in some dry vegetation. I didn't have a phone but was relieved to see a woman fetch hers out of her pocket.
She stood videoing the fire instead of reporting it.
It doesnt even have to be as big as a match to burn dow an entire forest. Holy hell that lady sounds dumb.

After spending years studying WWII, the brutality of nazi Germany and the final solution, we even met two concentration camp survivors a friend asked: "the nazis... did they hit people?"

There are people who are allergic to raw peanuts but not to all processed peanuts depending on how it's processed. Peanut allergies are from 3 proteins in the nuts and some people are only allergic to one or two of these. These proteins can be altered during the production of peanuts into something a bit different like a butter, oil, etc. which then makes it safe to eat for some people with raw peanut allergies. So these people may not have been lying.
Talking to my son about the pyramids, I said Africa, several times, to which my wife said my daughter was laughing at me, saying its Egypt not Africa.
I then had to explain Egypt was in Africa and even Egypt doesn't have the most pyramids in the world.
Doesnt Egypt have the lowest amount of pyramids, just the most famous.
"My mom worked at a credit union and had a member ask if she could deposit cash through the mobile deposit."
I read this 3 times before I realized "mobile deposit" meant app and not drive through deposit. I could not understand why it wouldn't be a reasonable question.
Thank gawd I'm not the only one. I was thinking maybe the mobile deposit was a wheelie bin she'd been "depositing" her money into, like the "out of order" scam. If you're not aware of that, scammers put "Deposit Slot out of order. Place deposits in the box ⬇", then have a "guard" protecting a box outside the bank. People put their cash in the box and the "guard" picks it up an walks away.

I drove for a trucking company that had a large black cat as a logo, a panther. We pulled into a truck stop in Arkansas and was asked if we really hauled live panthers.

Mom used to think you had to fill your tires only at the gas station, where something called "air water" was put in it. Dad pointed out you can use an air compressor, and that there is no such thing as air water (the sign said air/water, as in air OR water). She was at least 30
An office lady asked me to move a safe. I told her I couldn't because it weighed 750 kg. She asked me to do it anyway. I didn't bother answering. And btw, PHD really means permanent head damage.
I used to work at a FroYo shop and the Peanut Butter flavor that said “contains nuts” in very visible half inch block letters. A customer said they were allergic to all nut based products and wanted to know if our peanut butter flavored yogurt was made with nuts. They we’re looking at the sign when they asked. After 60 seconds I realized they weren’t kidding.
Maybe an illiterate person who happens to know not everything with flavors has the base product inside it (I know thats not the case here but benefit of the doubt).
The way he says "she's a special one" is wholesome. Like, she's a fuckin moron, but I love her.
For the peanut one, I've actually heard stories from people who aren't allergic to peanuts but _claim_ they have a mild allergy because they dislike the texture or taste, and just saying "I'm allergic" gets people to leave them alone about it faster. Obviously that's not what happened in the original post, but it might explain the grandparent liking peanut butter despite an allergy. Moral of the story, if someone says they don't like or can't have a specific food, don't push it.
I was an exchange student in Germany. There was this american girl who told me she tried to learn german by trying to remember how she learned english, her mother tongue. She was dead serious. I am finnish and we have to study english and swedish at school so I had an idea how to learn a new language. I understand it's different if you are american but german was her major in college. I can't understand how she managed to continue her studies when she only spoke elementary level german and she clearly had no idea how to learn a language.
By "trying to" remember, no less. Made me chuckle. No wonder when it's something that started when you were an infant with no developed memory yet. This makes elementary school level sound quite advanced for her, actually. Whole sentences and all. I hope. x_x
@@JayLeeBeanz Well I spoke english with her so I can't really tell, all I know she wasn't comfortable using german in shops etc but at least she tried so she must have had some idea what to say.
To be fair, I had French and English at school for years. Didn't learn a thing, had bad grades etc. I was mostly confused by the way we moved through the grammar. Why do I need to know what a past tense present perfect is? A year or two after I graduated from school I started reading stories in English on my laptop with google translate open in a second tab. I translated every word I didn't know and my vocabulary grew. Then tv shows with subtitles, getting a feeling for the language. Now I'm fluent, can think in English without translating it and had classes in English at Uni. For me that natural way of learning works best. My next language to learn is Swedish, I already bought the Harry Potter books and audio books. Guess I'll start that project when procrastinating my masters thesis ;)
@@dude988 I agree language classes often concentrate too much on grammar and if you don't use the language outside of the classroom you probably won't learn a thing. My brother was a gamer in early 2000's and that's why he graduated from high school with best grades possible in english, and now it's his work language. But the girl I mentioned literally tried to remember how she learned to speak as an infant and that's just bizarre.
@@annarantanen3813 Grammar is more important than you give it credit for.
Grammar is the rules of structure.
You need structure in language. Any language.
And understanding language structure is key to learning any language.
I worked in my university’s library during my undergraduate years. I cannot tell you how many times I was asked “Do you have any books with photographs of dinosaurs instead of illustrations?”
I have a book that has photos of skeletons, as well as a few photos of statue recreations, but I'm pretty sure that's not what they're asking for.
My dad was in college, he was sent to Alaska as part of the marine science program. One of his fellow cadettes said "I'm looking forward to visiting Alaska because I can't wait to see a penguin!"

On the grandma that didn't eat peanuts it could be that she had some unknown sensory thing that made eating raw peanuts unpleasant? And didn't have the words to explain it. That doesn't necessarily mean she's a pathological liar.

I once knew a guy absolutely convinced that seedless watermelons were created by cutting a regular watermelon in half, picking out the seeds, and gluing the halves back together. Could not be convinced otherwise.

I worked on a small job site where we were building a French drain, most of my crew buddies were idiots, fools or just plain lazy.
As we finished diggings around the house, we started to dig out the the drain. Half way through the yard, we all heard a faint clang sound and as soon as the line came out “we’ve hit a rock sir” nearly every man on the site grabbed a hammer or pickaxe (the rock in question was roughly the size of an overgrown watermelon). After a solid 30 minutes of these boys trying to smash this rock with their strength led to barely a crack (this was because the yard was faintly wet from a few days ago and made of dirt, any impact made by these bozo’s was dispersed into the ground). So when the boys walked away, I grabbed a pickaxe, and swung it underneath the rock. With a heave and a ho, I felt it loosen, some of the smarter boys realized what I was doing and grabbed shovel’s and picks to dig around it. Then Mickey came walking up (Mickey isn’t his real name), Mickey asked if he could help us, I said “sure, do you need a tool?” He waves me off and does reach for the pickaxe, shove or hammer?
NO HE REACHES FOR THE FRESHLY BOUGHT AXE! The one we’ve been using to chop roots, and what does he do with this axe? He swings it like a hammer on to the rock trying to break it like a Neanderthal! He got 3 swings before I yanked the axe out of his hands and yelled at him “What the fuck are you doing, WHY ARE YOU USING A WOOD AXE TO BREAK STONE!?” And what he said next I still remember all these years later “*Its a tool, a tool for any other job*”
What pissed me off is that Mickey had this constant face of “I don’t know where I am and I don’t care”, he was lazy, a dick and just plain around stupid.
Mickey wasn't the boss's nephew, was he?
@@bromptondevice7685 not even closely related, my boss is of the mentality “if you work, you get rewarded, if you do nothing, you get nothing”

Story #8: My theory is that she thought it was so busy that if she walked up and made a stupid argument, the bartender would just give her more wine to make her go away. But they stopped to explain, likely drawing the attention of the rest of the bar and embarrassing her for not understanding a simple concept.
Thats why at restaurants I ask for no ice. Cause I learned early that its not more, its just displaced.

I remember my chemistry teacher telling a story of this year 11 kid (15-16 Yr old) who thought eggs that chickens lay and eggs from the store were 2 different things
When he explained to the kid that no they are the same thing the kid apparently looked like he was going to throw up and overall extremely disturbed
the only difference is the store ones are unfertilized so I suppose thats something. but i highly doubt that woulda made him feel better 😅
Before I learned that the eggs in the grocery store are unfertilized I used to think I'm eating an unborn chicken!
@@melissacooper8724 ikr? i used to think that too, there was a time when i was afraid to crack open an egg to make scrambled eggs because i thought i'd crack one, and one day a half formed baby chicken would kinda slurp out of it 0-0
the only reason i thought that was because some eggs have a white strandy bit in it, and i read that those in fertilized eggs are the start of an umbilical chord. 0-0
@SleepyKitty My mom told me that if the egg had blood in it when you cracked it, that usually meant the egg was fertilized. We only came across that when we got some eggs from a neighbor that raised chickens one time. After that we get our eggs at the grocery store.
@@sleepykittyMMD in my country they actually sell boiled fertilized duck eggs and you actually eat the half formed duckling.

In a Discord conversation, someone asked about my accent and I explained that I'm German. His reply: "You're a nazi for saying that because Germany doesn't exist anymore." He said that to my face, and he was dead serious.
Why? He believed that after WW2, Germany was disbanded and the territory shared among the allied forces. The nazis won't accept this and they're trying to reinstate Germany, so they make up fake IDs and documents and stuff and claim they're from a country that, in truth, no longer exists. Apparently my whole life is a lie.
Besides Hitler was an Austrian painter/dictator also why are people so dumb? I once had an argument with a flat earther so... Yeah

Years ago when I worked at McDonalds, a customer asked me, “how much are your 30 cent cones?” . . . ah! . . . 30 cents!

@@karlzaunbrecher8241 She probably passed. Cant say whether or not youd be surprised how many idiots get degrees.

Ngl I think she's onto something '*starts to float away with the power of God and not science*'
As someone who does believe in God, the funny part about this is that the whole point of Christianity and many religions in general is that you are not supposed to need proof of God or whatever concepts there are otherwise, but instead have _faith_ in the ideas. That believing is what achieves the goals.
Now, obviously, I am not telling you to believe in God, but this comment just made me laugh.
Side note: I follow science far more than any aspect of religion, but again, like I said, the two occupy different realms. Science is for the physical world of objective concepts that can have evidence gathered, religion is for the non-physical world of subjective concepts that cannot be proven. In my mind, they do not conflict because they do not overlap. Admittedly, my views of religion are also quite different than the more avid followers.

I was introducing myself to some people as the new guy at a university, in the US, and told them I am from Brazil. One of the girls, a university student mind you, replied "Oh cool, that's in Spain right?"
My home state in Brazil, Bahia, alone is larger than the entire country of Spain. I think I felt my brain momentarily blue-screen when I heard that. She tried to backtrack her statement saying she thought I said "Barcelona", nobody there believed her and we never let her live it down.
A guy sat across the table from me and seriously asked "If there's no god, where does the wind come from?" I swear, a forty year old man...
My cousin in third year French called me up and asked me (who has never taken French) (phonetically) "what does hor de vours mean"? I asked "you mean ourdervs?"
"oh, yeah. 'click'.
I once had someone explain the "speed of money" me. His explanation had absolutely nothing to do with money, finance, economic theory, or even common sense.
"Sunlight doesn't come from the Sun."
My history high school professor told us nowadays EVERYONE on earth believes LITERALLY on the same god, even if they name it differently
That sounds more like a philosophical argument more than anything, as one can argue the concept of one true god represented through monotheism and polytheism
For monotheistic religions, this is true. If you believe in one God, then no matter what you know him/her by, it is the same God for everyone.
This is logic, not philosophy.
@@BBMc107 this is absolutely 100% false. Not all monotheistic religions worship the same God, which is clearly evident by the variation in the specific God’s commands.
Go take a logic class. That's not logic. That's a simplistic assumption.

Why would you take a logic class for a random religious statement?
There's an episode of The Simpsons in which Homer says in surprise "There's a NEW Mexico?". And it was a joke. Can't believe there are actually people out there who don't know NM is a US state.
That's what happens when geography is no longer taught......
I used to carry a milk jug of Ice to work and drink from it as it thawed in the summer heat. A coworker told me he liked the idea but couldn't figure out how I got the ice in the jug.
I'm British, and was on holiday in Europe during the 2008 crisis when the pound was almost at par with the euro. I was in a country where the currency was pegged to the euro, a bit before they formally adopted it. I was two days in and already having to watch what I was spending because of the currency fluctuations.
I was on the bus to my next town -- I like backpacking with a suitcase -- and looking out the window at the road sign distance to the destination. I caught myself thinking 'I wonder what the mile to kilometre exchange rate is today?' in all seriousness...and then realized what I'd thought and kicked myself so hard my shins were never the same again...
(And the glass will be fuller once the ice melts...of watered down wine!
(My mum had the 'peanut allergy' issue with scampi. Scampi is supposedly made with prawns, since 'scampi' is Italian for prawns. But she can't eat prawns without coming out in fifty different kinds of rashes and throwing up all night. However, she CAN eat scampi...because most scampi sold in the UK is fish, monkfish tail to be exact, that simply resembles prawn.
(I love both fish and prawns, the latter because they're so quick to cook if they're small so I can do a stir fry quickly with them. I asked my mum whether they'd count as fish during Lent...and she said that she thought they did, and for her, eating prawns would definitely be a penance! So for Good Friday I cooked King Prawn Alfredo...and ate the lot myself.)
It's a tie between:
"The world is flat" and "evolution is just a theory."
13:00- that is such a big problem even among airline employees in the US that airlines will give them cards listing places such as New Mexico, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico that count as being within the US/US territory and therefore do not require a passport to travel to or from there. My brother, who is from Brazil, works at an international airport and is still sometimes shocked that he has a better grasp of what places are actually part of the US than his US born coworkers.
I once told someone a riddle it was "If a Red house is made of red bricks and yellow houses made of yellow bricks what is a greenhouse made of" (Glass) They looked me dead in my eyes and said green bricks and I said no its glass haha the stared at me again and reputed lower NO ITS MADE OF GREEN BRICKS
Dude once asked me, "Did the 1800s actually exist"
STOP IT IM LOSING TO MANY BRAINCELLS!
I had a lady argue with me that the term "Yiddish" is a derogatory term.
Chickenella will always be funny
Someone asking me about how a fish could possibly live for 100 million years. We were having a discussion about living fossils but she thought we were talking about one individual fish not the species.
The lady that think her wine was less must be one of those people who think they put ice in just to give less to you
is mayonnaise an instrument
I kid you not. At work, I drove a Ford van that had Braille on the steering wheel control buttons.
lol the onion one was pretty funny, but in a way you are supposed to peel that off even if it isnt a wrapper
My step brother once asked why they had two world wars and didn’t just get all the fighting out the way in one war
If it's not been said before, 'Donegal' not 'Dongle'
I’ve had disney guests ask where Universal attractions were
