20 of the Funniest Ways People Realized They Were Stupid

It’s gotta be a sobering experience when you first realize you’re dumb as hell, and it has to feel even worse when other people realize it, too. One guy saw the light of stupidity when he said out loud, “Wouldn’t it be crazy if Friday the 13th fell on Halloween?,” which, as we all know, can’t happen. So yes, it would be crazy! 

The big dum-dums of Reddit have knocked their noggins together and remembered their dumbest moments, including a guy who was in his 30s before figuring out how to get toast out of the toaster.

fantsukissa 4y ago I was talking on the phone with my mom. After a while I got frustrated because I couldn't find my phone any where. I told my mom about it and she replied: wait a second, l'll hang up and then call it so you can find it. I figured out how dumb I was as I was staring the ringing phone in my hand. We had a good laugh about it. But apple really doesn't fall far from the tree. 2.9K Share ...

O cheezybreazy 4y ago I'm from the south and dated a girl when I was younger. First time meeting her mom, in a heavy New York accent, she asked me, you like dogs? I said, no thanks, I'm not hungry. It took me way too long to realize she was talking about the two giant pets they had, which were literally in between us, and not fucking hot dogs. 355 Share ...

4y ago I used to work at a lovely deli around two, three (?) Years ago. Some of the beverages we offered was fresh, hot coffee. A gentleman walked in and asked for a coffee with lots of cream. Not a problem, says I. I pull out the cream, take the lid off, and my boss reminds me to shake it first. Not a problem, I think again, and shake the (open, lidless carton of light cream) sending cream all over the floor, counter, fridge, etc. Everyone in the deli just stopped and stared at me for a few

Not sure what it's called exactly, but she says okay now tap, tap, tap but while she said it, she motioned with her hands like this: .. what she meant was tap my teeth down on the sand paper a few times...

x3Sheets2daWind 4y ago I put my phone in the freezer to charge. I remember having the thought that it would actually work. Several hours later, I couldn't find my phone. When someone called me, my brain refused to put together that the reason why my fridge was playing music was that my phone was in it. I just thought it was a feature I had missed. 3.1K Share ...

AssDimple 4y ago In my kitchen I have one cabinet for bowls and plates and another one for cups. This hasn't changed since moving into the house four years ago. About 75% of the time, I open the wrong cabinet to get what I need. Even when I try really hard to focus on opening the right cabinet, I still regularly get it wrong. That was the final straw that validated my stupidity. 2.5K Share ...

I FORGOT he wouldn't be able to use them and was miming to him that he should buy some. Не just pointed to his ears and shook his head. Then to make it worse, I kept trying to sign to him that I was sorry and kept signing thank you instead. Не at least got a good laugh out of it. 429 Share ...

POded99 в 4y ago . Edited 4y ago My bf was weighing our suitcases the night before a flight. Не did the classic, step on the scale and then step on the scale with the suitcase and do the math technique. One of the bags was a couple of kg over the limit so I reassured him that by morning he will have lost a bit of weight which might help get back under the limit. Didn't think that one through.
