Even the smartest person in the room occasionally has a memory lapse. It happens to all of us at some point. However, there are people who seem chronically out of the loop, catastrophically dim, or unreasonably unprepared for daily life. We love these people all the same, but their off-the-wall remarks still stick with us. One Redditor who goes by u/_FrankAbagnale asked for people to share the “dumbest question someone legitimately asked you,” and more than 31k people replied. Some people were…

‘I didn’t cut [my hair]. It fell out':

Extra cheddar please

Pick a card, any card… And hope your magician gets the trick right . The trick to nailing any kind of performance is practicing over and over and over again. Practice alone, in front of a crowd, in front of your parents, or in a park. The point is to get very comfortable with your performance. That way, if something goes wrong, it's no big deal! You'll be prepared for whatever happens, and able to quickly get back on track. Talented magicians know that their tricks take years to master. A lot o…

What is the one thing someone could do to ensure they'd never get an invite from you again? These folks were faced with that question after hosting some very impolite people. It doesn't matter if it's an unstoppable little toddler or a badly-behaved party-animal adult, when that person crosses the line, they won't be allowed back. Count yourself lucky if you've never had a terrible guest visit your home. That definitely happens from time to time. Some people shared that they hosted parties, onl…

When it comes to working from home, employees can have different views. Some find that they can focus much better, get more things done, and save time during the day when they don't have to commute. However, others may find it challenging to work from home due to distractions from other things such as pets and household chores. With most workplaces switching back to in-person work after having a remote environment during the pandemic, it raises the question of which is better. Some employers fi…

‘the crowd started throwing things’

A good old-fashioned dramatic quitting can really boost morale. When times are already rough at the workplace, watching someone quit with flair can feel so righteous. Most people don't quit on the spot. Even if it seems like they're doing that, usually the resentment has been building for some time. There's that common saying that people don't quit bad jobs, they leave due to bad management. Over time, having a micromanaging boss or a supervisor who continually berates you really wears an emplo…

These people thought they were getting good advice , only to realize years later how wrong the advice was. Relying on trusted friends and family members is how many people get through life. Of course, you trust the judgment of your mom or your best friend… but they aren't always right. Sometimes well-meaning bits of advice can totally miss the mark. Just because dad can dole out some advice that his father gave him in the 1970s, doesn't mean that's useful in today's day and age. Thanks, but no…

You can't expect everything to go 100% perfectly at a wedding. It seems like every couple has at least one funny story from their special day . They may not find it funny in the moment, but their guests will never forget it. Some moments are funny because it's not appropriate to giggle during the wedding ceremony. Everyone is trying really hard to be serious and solemn, so when anything remotely silly happens, the audience just bursts out laughing. Later at the reception, people imbibe a little…

We now have a family rule that my mom can’t blog about anyone else without permission

It seems like everyone has had at least one job that made them dread going into work every day . It's the kind of job that gives you a pit in your stomach as you set your alarm clock for the next day. As you drive to work, you're gritting your teeth thinking about what irritating thing your boss or coworkers are going to do that day. Sometimes it takes a little while to realize you dislike your job. But once you realize, it gets harder and harder to be happy there. You might start daydreaming a…

Here's a little inspiration for your next petty compliment . The next time you need to lightly roast your annoying boss or your unsuspecting aunt, keep a few of these zingers in mind. There are times to be sassy, and times to zip our lips. There might be times you really want to make fun of your boss who constantly sends emails to the wrong person and is always forgetting things at his desk. But you can't just roast him in front of the whole office and risk your career. But there's nothing stop…

These teachers were baffled by the papers they received from their students. A lot of kids really don't want to go to school. They don't want to wake up at the crack of dawn, don't want to sit still in class all day, and they certainly aren't keen to work on homework. Luckily, there are plenty of brilliant teachers who can motivate their students to want to be there. Some teachers try to make their lessons modern by implementing movies, while others can make any lesson interesting with their ex…

You can literally just name your pet anything, no one will stop you. You can't go naming your human baby “ Cool Ranch Dorito, ” but there are plenty of kittens out there who would love that name. That's part of the beauty of naming your pet: they have no idea what their name means. They probably respond to the inflection of your voice when you talk to them more so than responding to their actual name. Giving your pet a quirky name is a great conversation starter, especially for all the times yo…

Have you ever met someone who is blissfully unaware of seemingly everything around them? They're the type of person who floats through life with an empty head, and is often surprised when you correct them about common facts . We have a lot of love for our dumb friends, although we may have less tolerance for dimwitted coworkers. When your friend says or does something silly, it becomes an inside joke. But when a coworker acts brainless, you start wondering if they make more money than you, or i…
