re: What are some idiotic thoughts that shocked you when they were said to you by others?

Worked with a redneck in college who was unbelievably stupid and had a habit of saying “You know what they say…” followed by something completely idiotic that no one says. One of them was “You know what they say, tails never fails.” Me: “…50% of the time.” Him: “Aww naw, it’s 7 out of 10 times.” I then ask him if he just tried that one day and that’s what happened, and he said that’s where he learned it.

The dumbest thing he ever said though was shortly before the Presidential debates with McCain and Obama which we had a part in setting it up and driving important people around campus. He was quite insistent the debates were going to be cancelled and when I asked him why, he said: “Now OML, I know you ain’t stupid. You think some good old Mississippi boys are going to put up with a *expletive* becoming President? frick nah! Hell my buddy Jasper is thinking about camping out on top of the hill over the parking going to Ford Center, and then when Obama gets out of his limo just capping his arse!” “Yeah, Sid, I’m sure that “top of the hill” isn’t going to be a place where the Secret Service is going to think through when it comes to a potential assassination attempt. You’re an idiot.”

And he said that in front of 10 people, so naturally it gets back to our boss. He was our work mule, so we didn’t want him fired. He’d obviously get fired these days for saying that, but we knew we could not have this idiot talking to the Secret Service or even worse the Press.

So my boss summoned him in and gave him two week paid leave telling him he knows when and where his classes are and the closest parking lot to said class, and if he’s caught outside of those parameters at those specific times and especially if he ever spoke to a member of the Secret Service or the Press that he’d be canned. I’m just thankful the Press didn’t find him or someone else like him because you know they were looking for it.

Please explain the Crusades, indulgences, novenas for the dead, church "tradition" being equal to the teachings of Christ and the apostles, and the actual body and blood of Jesus at every mass.

Same size or same thing? I had a kid in high school that thought they were the same size. Shocked me that we have people this stupid… now I’m not as shocked.

No. You’re a moron if you believe redfish morph into red snapper. That’s inexcusable fricktard level shite.

I mean maybe he didn’t grow up around fishing or isn’t from the gulf?

Sounds silly to us because we were raised knowing, but I can see how someone might thing “red fish” and “red snapper” are related.

We were discussing birth control methods one day at work and a guy told me him and his girlfriend "just frick so much his body can't build up enough sperm to get her pregnant".

When I worked in sales I told a guy from California he'd need to call back the next day before 5 central time to speak with customer service. He said "but it's only 3:30". I told him "yeah but we're in Arkansas, it's 5:30 here".

He paused for a few seconds before saying "wait, you have a different time in Arkansas?" I then had to try to explain to a grown man how time zones work.

A friend believed his fiancé when she promised to keep giving him BJs after they were married.

Food prices have doubled, store shelves are empty, gas has tripled in price because the economy is rocking, and Biden is doing a great job.

Girl i know thought a condiment was a mint that came with a condom to give you fresh breath before you get some. I think she is actually still a virgin at almost 35
