The idea behind a community board like Next Door is a noble one, with the goal of fostering a sense of belonging and whatever, but more often than not it just turns into a venue for people to air their fears and grievances. Also a place for old ladies to freak out about cars that drive by once at 3 pm.

Seeing a star in person can have the effect of making you the stupidest person on the planet. Like, what do you say to a movie star if you're awkwardly blocking their way on an airplane? Seeing someone in person that you've seen in a movie, even someone you may not even particularly like, creates a scenario that most people just don't know how to deal with.

Ah, this guy can't be too hard on himself! All part of the learning experience that goes into an impressive undertaking like building your own computer. That being said, many of us can relate to the infuriating predicament that is discovering your machine isn't broken and is just on the wrong input. Happens to the best of us. 

At this point, it's really just like the population of online liars get off on trying to sell people their various bits of BS.They've seemingly forgotten that we've got endless means at our disposal to deconstruct their lies, and things like "Google Reverse Image Search" help a lot too. When will the stupidity and dishonesty ever end? Uh, never. Clearly. 

Kids are weird, dumb and easily tricked. All we can say is that we were this stupid once too, but that doesn't make kids not stupid. They make irrational demands, have unrealistic dreams, and believe just about anything. There's a lot of evidence out there that goes to show how kids are stupid and weird.

Signs, advertisements and billboards are a weird game. Every joke advertisement is a bit of a risk. Some are dumber than others. Sometimes a sign's pun game is simply too strong. Some advertising fails, like the magazine layout fails are total accidents. Sometimes signs are just straight up scary.

For some stupid reason, people think they can bully artists into drawing stuff for them. Seriously, this happens a lot, like this artist who trolled entitled fans who asked for free drawings. That said, every entitled individual with unreasonable demands is an opportunity to make a jerk look dumb.

Someone on AskReddit asked for students to share the dumbest things they've ever gotten in trouble for. It is remarkable what kinds of stupid things that students are penalized for by teachers. Like really, jumping in the snow?!

You'd think parents would have better judgement, but sometimes people get stuck with incredibly silly names. There are some parents out there who either didn't give a name enough thought, or tried to get too clever with it. Man it would really suck to be named after a transformer. 

School wasn't fun for any of us, but in the long run it can pay to know how to spell really basic stuff and not look like a moron in public. On a daily basis, people come in contact with a lot of spelling fails that make us curse our education system. At least spelling fails make someone feel smart.

Twitter user @RoblesTeonna, shared her troubling back and forth with her ex regarding dinner plans. Sounds like this guy is rocking all kinds of red flags. The rest of the Twitter community was ready to offer their hot takes on how this girl really dodged a bullet. 

Not everyone can be great at their job. We're not exactly sure why that's the case, but it just seems to happen. People design things that look stupid and don't work all the time, and they never seem to stop filling the world with design fails that don't quite cut it. It's pretty cool. For more of these

It's not good business practice to abuse the person you're trying to buy from, and it's even worse stealing practice to tell a dude you're gonna steal from him then ask for their address after the fact. There are entitled people out there who just think they can have stuff, like this entitled dad who wanted free art and childcare.

People are constantly caught up in an attempt to do something. Some people are trying to be complimentary or look smart. Some people are trying to re-frame news or look younger. Every attempt might hit the ground with the sound of failure. Whatever people try to do, their attempt might stumble into a pile of fail.

Sometimes we're just not thinking and sometimes people are really just flat-out stupid. There are a lot of really dumb questions that get asked. People have almost too many stories about dumb things people said to have their intelligence questioned.
