We've all been there at one point or another in our lives. We're going about our daily business, just trying to check all the boxes without completely failing, and then boom, someone you know, never met, or you ends up spewing out something into the atmosphere that is discouragingly devoid of common sense. Maybe it's an innocent brain fart, or perhaps it's something more ominous, like pure ignorance. This collection of the dumbest things that people have ever said might at the very least serve to make you feel just a bit better about yourself. 

We're well aware at this point that the folks in this world who work in tech support or just the IT department in general really do hold the keys to the kingdom in some sense. With that being said, tech support deals with all kinds of mind blowing acts of cluelessness from paid professionals that seemingly fell through the cracks on some of the most basic technological knowledge. It could be a scenario where you find yourself being the IT guy who is dealing with a professor that doesn't understand how internet browsers work. That kind of daunting realization requires nothing short of a saintly patience to be able to move forward in the troubleshooting process without losing grip on your sanity altogether.

Or, maybe you're another one of those lucky IT guys who has to calmly walk a company's CEO through how to reboot a computer. Yes, these people really exist. You never know what you might encounter while you muddle through your job in the tech support world. The stories we're able to enjoy from an established subreddit like "Tales From Tech Support" though are eye-opening tales about just how lost some of the world's poor souls are, for when it comes to navigating the use of their computer or other pieces of technological equipment.

Maybe some of the most grim stories from the tech support world will manage to make you feel better about your moments of profound confusion when trying to use your work device. Some people's brains just operate at a frequency where they're completely not tuned into how to use a fancy computer. Perhaps, this is the inevitable collective manifestation of technology continuing to evolve at such a rate that the older generations especially, are pretty much helpless in their pursuit toward getting the most out of their fancy computers, tablets, phones etc. Seems like a reasonable enough assumption to draw. You very well might have fond memories of trying to explain to a parent how they can turn off their iPhone, or change the input on a TV.

But alas, we're straying off the topic of programmers explicitly. Programmers are definitely the backbone of many esteemed companies. They're out there in the pits of the coding world, providing the infrastructure necessary for a company to keep up with these fast moving technological times. With that being considered, it should come as no surprise that programmers are regularly pushed to their breaking point in terms of the kinds of unbelievably clueless questions they field on a daily basis. And these same programmers are furiously working away at all kinds of projects that many of us couldn't hope to understand the first thing about. Maybe we're just gradually sliding into a reality where everyone's going to need to know how to code at some level. The skill itself seems to continue to skyrocket in value, and more and more it's as if people that are able to code have some kind of golden ticket for when it comes to locking down the next promising job opportunity. All in all, these gems from the world's fed up programmers should certainly get the laughs going for anyone who has ever dabbled in the dark art of coding.

Any time you ready yourself to hop on board a subway, you're basically readying yourself for all manners of chaos to pop up at a moment's notice. Just when you think you've seen it all, the subway is ready to show you that you don't even know the half of it. The subway's a magnet for many a cursed things in this strange world. See for yourself.

If you're from America and you've visited anywhere in Europe you've likely dealt with your fair share of culture shocks. Maybe you found yourself shocked at the servings sizes they're rocking over there compared to back home. Or, perhaps it was the sheer oldness of all those beautiful buildings in a place like Rome. You might resonate with a fair number of these. 

This fun and nostalgia packed thread has people that sang on Kidz Bop sharing their experiences.

We're all prone to spontaneous fits of nostalgia where we find ourselves mentally entrenched in reliving the days of our youth.

This boatload of marriage tweets is sure to resonate with many married folks out there. The experience of marriage is one that can test you to the depths of your very soul, and what you can ultimately put up with for the one you love.

Most people don't have a whole lot of money for designer tin cans and entire matching cup sets. Being the resourceful humans that we are, there are certain features of many homes that rich people just wouldn't get. Matching towels? Ha! You want a new TV just because it's sort of broken? Who are you the King of Rhodesia? These extremely common moments stand in stark contrast to some of the most expensive things people have witnessed. Here are some wild cases of rich people being out of touch.

Tyrannical managers, dull coworkers and entitled customers. That's what anyone who's worked retail will tell you is their experience, day in, day out. Many of us will work in a store or restaurant at some point, and there's not much to do but battle through the daily grind and look at retail memes to dull the pain. For a fun story, here's an entitled customer who expected a store to stay open late just for them.

The more you get to know people, the more you realize it's the smallest things that often make us the most upset. Car got totaled? Too bad, gotta move on. Someone took your designated parking spot? This cannot stand. We all have our preferences, things that get under our skin, and petty things we're extremely passionate about.

To be a parent is to be subjected to a continual emotional rollercoaster, as you work on raising your devilish children into reasonably functional adults. The toddler phase especially is marked by a steady procession of spontaneous, and absolutely explosive emotional meltdowns. You never know what bone a toddler will have to pick with the world. Every day brings with it a new internal struggle in the life of a toddler. These toddler breakdowns are certainly something else. 

Introverted Twitter users are banding together to share their best lot of painfully dumb questions that they're just plain old tired of being asked. For people that already need time to recharge, these kinds of questions are especially excruciating. 

Sometimes Twitter actually delivers. 

Sometimes you don't even need the world to humble you. Sometimes, you can just do the job yourself. These folks found themselves in the middle of various, hilarious, and occasionally relatable situations where they realized that they weren't near as smart as they'd made themselves out to be. A little ego death here and there can be good for everyone. 

Society has a frustrating knack for creating all kinds of unrealistic standards that it expects its members to live by. In this case, we have a Tumblr user calling out society's outdated and illogical standards about how people should handle their love lives. Some folks are actually just completely at peace with not sharing their life with someone else. It's on the rest of their fellow human beings to recognize that happiness and not question it as if something's out of place.
