DUMB Things You've Seen or Heard Vol. Damn, Are People THAT Dumb?

This older women that I work with(early 50's) was trying to tell me that Nelson Mandela was the president of Africa and most people from Africa speak"African." The thing is she claims to be college educated, all I could do is SMH
 
A few weeks ago I was at work, and one of my co-workers said "Christmas is right around the corner" and I guess my other co-worker felt she was rightso she had to chime in and say "Yeah Christmas is literally RIGHT around the corner". I visualized walking around the corner and seeing Christmasthere.

Also, recently I was putting something in the mail box and after I put it in, I wasn't sure if it went all the way down so I opened it and tried to reachin the see if it was stuck and my girlfriend said "STOP. Are you crazy?! That's one of the most illegal things you can do."
 
i've got a couple, and sadly, theyre all from my same old teammate from ohio

1. coach just lectured everyone about drinking coke and handed out this paper with all the things coke is used for (cleaning motors or something, dissolvingteeth, whatever). so we're all mad cuz she basically banned us from coke and my teammate says "okay well what about pepsi?". she asked that as anhonest question, not even trying to be a smart %$$

2. after practice we walked across campus to get food. same girl says "ooh loook everyone, a purple dove! how rare!". we're all like, a purpledove, @!% are you talking about. so then she points and its a friggin pigeon

3. flying on one of our road trips she opens her window on the plane, takes a huge gasp and is like "WOWWWW! look its a pollution!!!" So the rest ofthe team is like what is this beezy talking about? We look outside the window and she's pointing at this dark storm cloud.

she's really one of my favorite people in the world, but damn she said some stupid +$+ sometimes...

lit·er·al·ly adv.
1. In a literal manner; word for word: translated the Greek passage literally.
2. In a literal or strict sense: Don't take my remarks literally.
3. Usage Problem
a. Really; actually: "There are people in the world who literally do not know how to boil water" (Craig Claiborne).
b. Used as an intensive before a figurative expression.
Usage Note: For more than a hundred years, critics have remarked on the incoherency of using literally in a way that suggests the exact opposite of its primarysense of "in a manner that accords with the literal sense of the words." In 1926, for example, H.W. Fowler cited the example "The 300,000Unionists ... will be literally thrown to the wolves." The practice does not stem from a change in the meaning of literally itself - if it did, the wordwould long since have come to mean "virtually" or "figuratively" - but from a natural tendency to use the word as a general intensive, asin 'They had literally no help from the government on the project', where no contrast with the figurative sense of the words is intended.

She literally used the non-literal form of the word "literally". My head just exploded from typing that out.

Synesthesia


A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.

Not saying your co-worker has it, but it isn't so crazy. There are people who can taste shapes, smell colors, visualize sounds, etc.
 
I was asked this 10 minutes ago.

Her: What city in New York City do you live in?
