confusion

Ariane Sherine got a fun thread going about people's most ridiculous misunderstandings. So many of us can fall through the cracks when it comes to bits of common knowledge. Maybe we're out there completely misinterpreting logos, or maybe we're unknowingly completely botching the pronunciation of names. At the very least, these moments of confusion might make you feel better about yours. 

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. 

Sometimes our pure intentions end up resulting in absolutely ridiculous misunderstanding. 

Some of them are just trying to get a hang of social media. Others are confident enough to give you a piece of their mind.
