But there's one item that creates a headache that you can't avoid since it can catch you off guard like a slap in the face from a thrown fish. And that is blunder. People have been sharing their most excruciating, headache-inducing incidents of being told something so utterly stupid that it was clear right away.
#1
As someone who has had multiple miscarriages and a stillborn child, I wanted to slap the s**t out of her.
#2
"You are 65."

I dunno, lady. Maybe because he's 12 and can't get a job yet? Also there's the matter of the letter you and he signed when he got his library card that says you're responsible for any fines on the account, as his parent or legal guardian. Just a shot in the dark.

"Where is that? Mexico?"
My eye twitched so hard that I thought it might fall out.

I have seizures and I had somebody ask me if they were contagious. My cousin was right next to me and elbowed me and whispered for me to start coughing. By the way, my cousin is blind and when I started coughing she chucked her cane behind her fake panicking that she suddenly couldn’t see and the guy ran away so he wouldn't “catch the seizures”. My cousin busted out laughing when she heard him run off saying she wished she could see his reaction and that it must have been priceless. I explained what it looked like to her and she fell onto the ground laughing. She’s just as evil too when people ask her dumb questions about her being blind as she had someone ask her today if it was deadly even though she was born blind.

While standing in the middle of Disney World and staring at a foldable paper map of the park in her own hands, my sister in law goes, "Why doesn't this map tell me where I am? These maps usually have a little arrow that says something like 'You are here' so you know where you're at."

A work colleague coming in the day after a visit to the zoo telling us that panthers aren't really pink.

Yeah, Randall (his real name because f**k him), that’s not evolution, that’s magic. Now go back to getting drunk after church and driving your kids home, and when you come back to work, don’t forget to f**k another 18 year old server on the tables after close. Don’t worry, I’m sure your wife will never know. Idiot scumbag.

September 18th 2021, my mother unfortunately passed away. Her and I both had Covid, as we lived together and unfortunately her body couldn’t handle it. This lead to anxiety, panic attacks, stress, and guilt. I felt like it was my fault for my mother's death. Anyway, to the doctor. I decided in December that I couldn’t go on the way I was. I was never leaving my boyfriend's house. I chose to go to therapy in seek of some help with my issues.
When I got an intake appointment, I had to see a doctor there to prescribe, what I expected to be an antidepressant. The moment I sat down, I already had a weird vibe from him. He was quiet, his tone was dull. We started going over my charts and why I was there, etc. and I told him everything he needed to know. I told him about my guilt, and a prior issue I had even before my mother's death. I have a phobia of vomiting, so I brought it up. This doctor told me to just “throw up”, and i would no longer be afraid. He then proceeded to say that I was a very anxious person who is “on the spectrum”. and finally, the KICKER, he told me all my loved ones would go to hell.
Needless to say, I walked out of there sobbing my eyes out. I called the place to file a complaint and thankfully—haven’t seen that man since.

The first person I dated after my amputation, freaked out over it and said to stay away because they didn't want to catch what I had, as if amputations due to cancer are contagious. This was right when Myspace had started getting popular, and texting costed you like, 10cents per text.

For context, we were watching a Phineas and Ferb movie they were all on a chain over lava. Phineas tells them to let go of the cliff and Candace says something along the lines of “I have 1 word for you! LA-VA!” And then his brother looked at us and proudly said “that’s 2 words, dumba&s”. He was/is notorious for having little to no common sense.

One of my ex-coworkers was convinced that the sun and the moon were the same thing. He thought it turned around at night and became the moon. He was astonished one morning when I pointed to the moon in broad daylight. I thought he was going to have a panic attack. Luckily, we were sharing a joint behind the warehouse and he calmed down a bit. He still didn’t fully understand and kept glancing at the sky for the rest of our shift.

A colleague of mine thought jellyfish were a myth.

"If Earth is spinning, why my front door is always facing east?"

That of course Cats and Dogs are opposites, like the opposite of up is down etc. And that of course they're not mammals...

"Because you didn't respond to our emails and you failed to appear in court."
"But I don't check my email."
B***h, you hired us by email.
Second favorite: "They never saw me driving, though."
"Ed, you were passed out in the driver's seat next to an empty bottle of vodka, covered in your own urine. They're gonna suspect you were driving drunk."
"Yeah, but who saw me driving though?"

A girl once asked how drugs were sold. I told her the black market. Then she shouts in front of everyone. “Wow, that’s SO racist.”

Fellow in my class said Ketanji Brown was not suited for the role of supreme court justice because she's a "woman" and is "soft" thus she will "get too attached to cases".
