So, this woman was super religious and claimed no fossils were found in the Grand Canyon, proving evolution's fake. When shown fossils, she said they were "planted to confuse people" and triumphantly declared, "Looks like Jesus won this one." Can't argue with that level of confidence!
These identical twin sisters were out with their girlfriends. A guy comes up, points at one and says, "So what's your birthday?" then at the other "And yours?" Then, he asked if they realized they were gay from making out with each other. They snapped back asking if he realized he was straight from kissing his own sister. Ouch!
One co-worker told another he drinks energy drinks late at night to feel energized the next morning. The other asked, "Doesn't that make it hard to sleep?" The energy drink fan thought for a sec and basically said, "Wait... yeah, it does." Logic, who?
Some folks seriously believe that hitting a higher tax bracket means you end up with less money overall. Nope. You only pay more on the amount over the bracket's limit, not your whole paycheck. Tried explaining, gave up, just nod and smile.
A coworker wanted to move to Italy. Another said she'd miss watching TV since it's all in Italian. The first said, "I'll just bring my TV from home." That's not how it works, but hey, neat idea!
At the World of Coca Cola, someone genuinely wondered if they'd borrow a real polar bear from the zoo for picture day. Because nothing says soda marketing like a massive, wild predator inside a building full of kids, right?
Moved to Texas and got called out by a teacher for "lying" about being white because of a tan. When shown a pic of my parents, teacher said I must be adopted. Nope, just a kid who loves the sun!
A student couldn't believe Leonardo DiCaprio starred in Romeo and Juliet since the play was from the 1500s. He thought the movie was actually filmed back then... and had no idea movies were just stories acted out. Bless his confused little heart.
Before cell phones, a friend asked how I always knew directions. I said, "Sun rises in the east, sets in the west." He looked at me like I'd just told him aliens painted the sun. "Since when?" he asked. Since forever, buddy.
In Athens, an American tried buying film for 800 drachma (about $2), but freaked out thinking it was 800 dollars. Then got louder and confused when told the vendor doesn't accept dollars. Classic tourist meltdown.
A teacher said giraffes have long necks because adults stretch them and pass this on to babies. When told it's a slow process over generations, she said no. Then when asked if babies inherit their parents' tattoos, she said maybe. Someone please save her!
Got a zero on a test because she thought words ending in 'r' actually ended with an 'ah' sound. Teacher stubbornly insisted she was right. This kid from Massachusetts will never forget this injustice.
Guy thought car smelled like gas so he walks under it and lights a lighter. Boom! Turns out there really was gas. Everyone was dumbfounded. Lesson: don't light fire where you smell gas.
One coworker seriously thought gender-neutral bathrooms were a sneaky plan by gay men to spy on women. Attempts to educate him? Nope. No clue.
Yep, back at summer camp, my youth pastor was convinced you could pray away homosexuality. Spoiler alert: you can't.

A teen thought Austria was Australia and asked if Arnold Schwarzenegger was offensive because of his name. She thought "Austria" was a country with bodybuilders only. Close enough?
An uncle claimed California's gay population grew because gold rush miners turned gay from spending too much time underground. Sounds like a novel explanation!
This guy thought trees moving their leaves actually CREATE the wind. Air movement? Nah, just leafy tree magic.
Someone claimed pollution helps plants grow by giving lots of CO2. They kinda read a study, but only half. Oil companies approve this message.
Someone said gas prices don't bother them because they only put in $20 at a time. That’s like saying ocean waves don’t affect you because you only sip the water.
A girl tried to spell her last name "PAL" but used 'P as in person, A as in apple, L as in elephant'. Yep, 'elephant' starts with an 'E', but no one told her.
A kid claimed the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were real because obviously they aren't just make-believe. Cue endless laughs whenever Jurassic Park plays.
Roommate yelled, "There's a beautiful sunset this morning!" Because, you know, sunrises and sunsets are easy to mix up.
After the fire, someone called it "millions of years of history" going up in flames. History major facepalm: it's more like 800 years.

Someone at a seminar announced "You can't pick your baby's daddy!" We all just wished we could pretend she said that as a joke.
A guy believed scientific names are in Latin because Romans traveled the globe naming stuff. Romans were busy, but not that busy.
Woman thought you only need passports for Northern Hemisphere countries. Fiji? Just swim over, right?
Midwestern American asked English friend what it’s like to have no accent - as if Midwest is the world’s center. Mind = blown.
Smart folks keep saying SO Cal housing will get affordable if we just wait long enough. Spoiler: Nope, nope, nope.
Joked I'd get a coworker a thesaurus for birthday. He thought it was a dinosaur and begged, "No please, I’m too old for dinosaurs." Mind = blown (again).
Guy said Earth is flat, atmosphere stops 73 miles up, and it's a solid dome. Also claimed Hiroshima attack wasn't real. Bible and 'it doesn't sound real' were top sources.

Assistant couldn’t add four quarters to make a dollar. Months later, fired for being hopelessly lost in a bathroom stall. Oof.

Coworker only eats at restaurants open longer than a year because apparently food needs aging for flavor. Like wine, maybe?
Ex claimed if gravity vanished, we'd all fall into Australia. Spatial thinking: not their strong suit.
Guy tried to convince a girl he was disease-free by saying "I only had the AIDS once but not no more." Unforgettable, for so many wrong reasons.
Coworker saw on Facebook that subtracting birth year from current year only works one day a year to find your age. Magic math fail!

Someone asked, "If evolution's real, why don’t cave paintings show it?" Because history’s more complicated than finger painting.
