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.

Sometimes everyday life gets altered in a way that makes us think we're living in a simulation. Sometimes it's just a creepy moment, sometimes it's a strange coincidence. Either way, sometimes something so strange or unlikely happens that we just have to wonder if we're living in a boring, crappy matrix.
Most people have a decent set of internal rules, but sometimes it's just not there. Businesses will scam their clients, landlords will screw over their tenants, and government officials will take bribes. Here are some times people got to see some classic corruption. You've gotta be on the lookout, because sometimes trashy people will do some real garbage stuff.
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.
We often take the names of things, and certain processes completely for granted. We often overlook the logical process of how something came to be just because we've never had to actually think about how it got that way.. It makes us feel smart to finally figure something out, but stupid that it took that long. There are a lot of obvious things people realize way too late.
It's the natural development of almost every kid that you think your home life is pretty standard until you visit a friend's house or live with someone else. People just believe dumb things as kids. Some some folks realize how good they had it while others just have more questions about their strange parents. Other times rules were just creatively pragmatic.
We can't really explain it. Maybe it's instinct, subconscious reasoning, survivor's bias, luck, or the intervening will of the universe. Sometimes people get a spidey-sense moment that ends up saving their own ass. Here are more times people trusted a gut feeling and avoided disaster.
It can be really frustrating to realize your boss is a goddamn moron. Some bosses are just good at hiding the fact that they have no idea what they're doing, but some are not quite so good. Don't get us wrong, many bosses are competent, but these ones really let the stupid cat out of the idiot bag.
Some of us have zero filter when it comes to telling complete strangers the most intimate parts of our lives. Maybe a fellow parent in the PTSA really wants to tell you about their recent bowel surgery. Maybe an old lady at a bus stop just can't help but regale you with stories of her horrible first husband. Sometimes we're just there when near-strangers try to get something off their chest, and we hear some wild stuff. Here are more people who walked in on weird stuff.
We sometimes regret decisions that we put a lot of thought into, but it's the ones that you didn't think about at all that make you feel truly dumb. For more dumb stuff, here are the dumbest things people have been told, dumb things people did to their own cars, and the times people realized their kids were dumb.
Tumblr is a healthy mish-mash of wierd premises, snowballing half forgotten ideas and overly specific pop-culture lore. You're never exactly sure what you'll find around the corner. So open up that chest and have a good time dabbling in the funny gems of tumblr.
Not everyone has a very good brain. Some people have decent ones, but they're not exactly working for them all the time. We live in a world where people can sort of believe whatever they want, and sometimes people have a personal resistance to wanting to learn, which leads to all of us hearing some really dumb things.
Some of the greatest innovations at work come from human laziness. It's just not a good idea to work extra hard when you can think of a way to do the same work more efficiently. That said, don't do too good of a job or your boss might find out that you don't need to work there anymore. One or two of these definitely backfired. And a few definitely weren't as smart as the person first thought.
From the outright illegal and immoral to the straight-up Machiavellian or just plain stupid, these people admitted to the wild crap they did when they were stupid kids. We remember having ideas just as terrific as these people when we were running around with no parental supervision.
Kids are weird and dumb. Sometimes they get really specific thoughts stuck in their head and given the choice to ask for anything they could ever want, will choose to ask for something like a box of kleenex or a really old pug. Here are some strange experiences for the holiday season.
