School can be hard and regrettably expensive. Seeing your classmates not take anything seriously and still pass can be frustrating when you value your education, like this entitled college slacker who demanded their classmates notes and got denied. Also, if they're trying to be something like a doctor, you'd hope they actually study and know their field. This tutor got so frustrated with a ridiculously lazy student that he went and gave him some answers. Not the right answers, just some answers. Other teachers have wily ways of outsmarting cheaters, like this old professor.

The life of a teacher is pretty wild. Teachers can see some incredibly dumb kids. Sometimes a good teacher will do a kid a solid. Teaching can be funny and full of chaos. Sometimes parents have a very limited idea of what a teacher's job actually is, and take any criticism of their child personally. These are some of those times parent-teacher conferences were a little wild.

We know that languages are all weird, and the one we use can be particularly confusing, but that can make it a more fun and nuanced thing to explore.

If there was ever a reason to pay attention in school, this would be it. You'd be surprised how many grown-ups  don't know basic stuff like what pasta is made of or that submarines exist. There is no shortage pf people saying dumb things. Seriously, people hear some really goddamn dumb things. These people found themselves explaining really basic stuff to folks who either didn't do their homework or never paid attention in the first place.

Sometimes what we think of as common knowledge isn't actually as common as we thought. Well, also people can be pretty dumb. In fact, there might be one or two of these that make you go "holy crap I'm a moron." If you still think Alaska is an island there's probably no hope for you but, what the hell, live and learn.

We get it, spelling is hard. Sometimes autocorrect gets the best of you. Some words just suck. No one knows how many "r"s are in tomorow and the placement of the "a" and "u" in restuarant are a complete mystery. But the amount of effort you have to not spend to end up with misspellings like these is god-damned amazing. Check this out for some more dumb misspellings.

The world is a big amazing place filled with all types of people. Some of these people lack self awareness to a profound degree. Like it's actually amazing how bad some people are at thinking.And we love to hear about them. Here's some more dumb stuff people have said.

Sure, you could mess around with mustaches and devil horns but these ones are professional. We all had that friend in school who had a pen and a dream. Maybe you were that kid. If you're out there, we applaud your creativity, lack of respect for authority, and short attention span. Here are some bathroom stall musings from people with markers and a sense of humor.

People often privately think they are the smartest person in the world, and that's fine for the most part. But when they get in strangers faces and waste peoples time bragging about their own false sense of superiority, things get cringey. They get real cringey real fast.

Writer Ariel Dumas asked people what stuff they used to think were the height of luxury. Turns out everyone had similar childhoods. Even Jaegermeister dropped into the conversation, to be met with a pretty solid slam.

The spelling is so bad with these folks that figuring out what they're trying to say is its own riddle.

The world is full of nightmares. Here are a batch of things you've never noticed and didn't want to know. From unsavory movie facts to obscure diseases, some are a *little* worse than others.

These students made some pretty bold moves when it came to powerpoint.
