Yeah, what? Is it not mind boggling? Am I about to be source material for this thread? Or are you?

My ex-girlfriend is a teacher and a very book smart girl, but I had to break the news to her that Paris was a city and not a country

Glad you picked up on it.

Many people don't. a la Rocket Surgery...


Also, catching people use the word "irregardless". Grinds my gears.

so does my fiance. Or she will get hot and instead of turning it down a degree or 2, she'll just open the doors and windows. With the frickin' heat on.

Yes, boggled.

I used to teach with this guy who would "color coat" things to keep himself organized.

Date to a HS dance suggested putting her shoes in the oven to "Break them in" because she saw her dad do it with a baseball glove.

That just because the year, at the time, was 1997, it didn't mean it was the 19th century. This was an hour long argument with a roommate.

I think most people even myself underestimate how big Africa is in relation to other geographies. Blame it on the projection our maps are made it. If it can make Greenland huge, it can make stuff in the equator tiny.
