Reddit's 628-Comment Thread of the Dumbest Things People Have Ever Heard

Reddit’s r/stupidquestions subreddit asked users for the most stupid thing they’ve ever heard someone say in real life. The thread pulled 628 comments, and the highlights are exactly as unhinged as you’d hope. A worker refused to use turn signals because, in his words, where he was going was nobody’s business. Another guy, on vacation in Spain, put whole eggs in their shells into a dry pan and expected scrambled eggs to come out.

Then there’s the money stuff. A woman in her mid-20s with a bachelor’s degree reportedly believed that canceling a credit card would erase her balance. Others in the thread claimed sunscreen causes cancer and admitted to being confused about how farmers know which cow produces which kind of milk.

The Daily Dot couldn’t independently verify the users’identities or their stories, so take every one with a grain of salt. Still, the thread is a goldmine for anyone who’s ever worked retail, shared a kitchen, or sat through a family dinner. So what’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard someone say out loud? Drop it in the comments.
