dumb

In an effort to trim down a company, some managers try eliminating vital positions without replacing them. Some managers illegally dock pay, and IT has to get it all back. In this case a hotheaded manager went and made a pretty big mistake while also making sure there was a lot of proof for that mistake. Nice. Some managers are super chill, like this boss who used an eye gag to remove problem customers.

Remember, if someone says something confusing, incomprehensible, or absurdly dumb but also has dozens or hundreds of people responding positively to it, that's probably a joke. Some of us have a compulsion to state the obvious or even call other people stupid when they aggressively miss the joke, and that only serves to plunge them further into their hole of lameness. Just give it an extra second of thought or risk sliding into the ranks of mistaken people who missed the joke by miles.

There's nothing like some life pro tips that are entirely devoid of ethics, and could basically be seen as some immoral real life cheat codes. Of course, most of these are completely nonsensical and should not/could not actually be practiced in the real world as we know it. With that being said, they're definitely entertaining. If this got you going, check out some more bad life pro tips that won't help at all, over here.

We're all prone to moments of utter failure where we're left feeling just about as clueless as the very moment we came into this strange and disorienting world. It's good to be humbled by our own dumbness every now and again though. Keeps the fragile ego in check. Maybe these people's own hilarious moments where they failed at everyday tasks will serve to make you feel a bit better about your own blunders that still haunt you at night when you're just trying to catch a restful night's sleep. 

Every now and again you cross paths with a remarkably, unforgettably clueless individual that seems to have misplaced literally every single one of their senses. It can be quite the humorous, if not discouraging scenario. Sometimes, you might find it in yourself to exercise some patience, understanding, and help enlighten them. Other times, maybe you're just having an off day, and have no time for all the ignorance. These people certainly crossed paths with some lost souls. 

I mean, hey, it can happen to the very best and most aware of us. We can all fall prey to living lives in wonderful homes where we waste all this time assuming that a home doesn't have something absolutely clutch like, say, a dishwasher. At least there were other folks on Twitter that were more than ready to disclose their own humbling experiences of hilarious confusion. 

There's something unfortunate that occurs when certain people are put into power. It's as if the newfound authority instantaneously possesses them with the kind of brash God complex that results in them making completely irrational decisions that can ultimately be destructive to the companies that they were tasked with keeping in good health. It sounds like this boss was far out on his own power trip. Well, that all came crashing down, didn't it? For some more juicy malicious compliance drama, check out the time that a Karen presenter demanded a crappier hotel booking, and got it. 

You can be out, just mindlessly strolling down the sidewalk, perhaps even with the slight tracings of a smile on your face, when suddenly you overhear someone spew something so profoundly clueless that you're stopped in your tracks. You might stand there, paralyzed in troubled wonder as you try to figure out how someone could ever end up so lost. But then, you either let it go (recognizing that everyone says something dumb at one point or another), or actually try to let them know what's up. Of course, if you choose the latter approach, just be ready for defensiveness. Such a response tends to accompany blind ignorance. 

As young adults, and sometimes as old adults, it's very easy to get caught up with how we want to present ourselves and obsess over it. That obsession could be being a tortured poet, cowboy, rapper, or super Saiyan among other things. It's not a crime to be passionate about something, but oftentimes we realize that our passion may not have been as much of a lifelong thing as we expected. Sometimes our phases become our cringiest moments that haunt us to this day.

There's no denying the fact that there are numerous seemingly nonsensical things that exist in this strange world only because of humans' humorous, if not daunting levels of cluelessness. Sometimes it's fun to stop, smell the roses, and pay your respects towards those various signs and products that are only around because some folks truly need everything written out for them in life. No shame in that. We're all prone to moments of humbling stupid at one point or another in our lives. 

When will the irritating scammers of this wild world ever learn that their scams are going to backfire on them at some point? This particular scammer thought they had some kind of airtight, foolproof plan for a free vacation, and oh boy were they wrong. We just love to see a scammer get their rightful comeuppance when it's all said and done! 

With Yahoo Answers officially going away, it's time to look at some of the incredibly stupid questions that got us here. Luckily, there will always be places on the internet for people who you hope are joking, but can't be quite sure that they are. Like these insane people on quora. Farewell Yahoo Answers. You didn't make us smarter so much as reveal how stupid we really are.
