clueless

Just when we thought we'd maybe seen it all, we come across a frighteningly clueless human being who has been operating under the assumption that sound waves only move side-to-side. Either that was some kind of totally awful excuse for inconsiderate behavior, or they really meant that. I almost hope it was just a lame excuse. Either way, the pro revenge that ensued was quick and brutal. For some more juicy revenge drama check out this boss who docked an employee's wages illegally, and went on to pay the price. 

Don't judge a book by its cover. For better or for worse. What initially seems like a promising situation with a professor who gives off technology savvy vibes, ends up devolving into a puzzling situation where the IT dude has to work around the professor's glaring lack of knowledge on how an internet browser works. At least the issue was able to be "resolved."

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the dumbest questions they've ever heard from customers. The responses really end up contributing a solid argument to the case that so many of us, turn our brains off when we walk into establishments. Just cause customer service exists, doesn't mean we have to stop using our brains. 

The more tech support tales that we come across, the deeper our appreciation becomes for all the cluelessness that IT wizards encounter on a daily basis. They really cross paths with some folks that genuinely don't know how to turn off their computers. Take this regional director for instance. The poor tech support employee involved in the painstaking interaction is forced to patiently guide them through the proper way to actually reboot their computer. And for the record, no, a black computer screen does not necessarily mean that the computer is in fact off. 

Check out some more juicy tech support drama with this tech support employee who got fired and unfired on the same day. What a trip. 

Man, this is one of those outrageous tech support tales that almost seem too full of cluelessness to be real life. We have what seems to actually be a perfectly reasonable CEO who ends up being strung along for an ungodly long amount of time, because multiple senior network engineers are unable to put their heads together to resolve a rudimentary tech issue. The thing about taking video calls is if you want folks to be able to see/hear you, you've got to allow for those functions to run on your phone. You'd think this would be common sense, but hey, some tidbits of common knowledge are lost on folks. At least the matter was resolved. 

It's remarkable to witness the ungodly displays of confidence that can end up encircling completely ignorant statements. This particular AskReddit thread pays homage to those very moments. You've likely been out in the wild at one point or another and heard something reminiscent of one of these at one point in your life. From there, it's really up to you as the listener to either intervene or just let the ignorance carry on as it seems to so stubbornly do. 

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the most ridiculous, mindless assumptions that people make about other people's jobs. Just because someone's a doctor doesn't mean that they're going to be able to figure out why your back hasn't felt right for weeks. 

It's threads like these that lead us to believe that there are people in this world that really need an instruction manual to navigate their daily lives. Many of us have encountered one of these profoundly lost souls at one point or another in our lives. It's up to us to handle the cluelessness with patience and understanding. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their most hilarious and outright ridiculous experiences with witnessing other people not understanding how to operate everyday objects. Confusion can strike in the most seemingly of obvious situations. Sometimes people's brains take a break, and they forget how to operate. 

Nothing quite warms the heart like getting to see an ignorant know-it-all out themselves for being clueless, by leaping to assumptions, and having no idea who they are talking to. Of all the clueless encounters we've pulled together, it is glaringly evident that Tony Hawk is the GOAT of being subjected to people that have no idea who they are talking to. Check out some more of those instances involving Tony Hawk and his confused fans over here.

This is one of those wild Tumblr interactions that we sorely hope is nothing more than a devilish troll on the part of the one profoundly clueless Tumblr user. The dude suggests that honey comes from bees that have been squashed up in some kind of grinder device. Seriously, where do people read some of this stuff? 

Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this thread about trade school and the point of tests.

Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the world's most clueless individuals. Sometimes we cross paths with people that seem like they're in dire need of an instruction manual for life. Some folks really do need you to spell it out for them. 

Nothing like a witty mom who calls out their kid's nonsense with perfect timing to lighten the mood. There's that or there's the mom who has no problem oversharing that the hardest part about being her age is holding a fart in during yoga. 

As it turns out, Tony Hawk has to deal with a whole lot of people not realizing that they are in fact talking to him. And this pertains to situations where he needs identification, like the TSA checkpoint. It's not like he's walking around asking for everyone to know who he is, but you'd think that more people would have a handle on 

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about the absolute dumbest questions that people have been asked. We've all encountered that one hopelessly clueless individual who seems like they are in dire need of an instruction manual for life. Some of these might even ring a bell for your own experiences. If that's the case, you've our sympathies.
