25 of the Dumbest Things People Said During a Total Brain Fart

The human brain is an absolute miracle of wet engineering. So, it’s only fair to give it a break if it stumbles here and there. It’s a common occurrence, the brain fart that, hopefully, doesn’t occur while traveling in a motor vehicle at high speeds. Your brain’s handling breathing and moving and thinking, so yeah, sometimes it’s going to mash up two words while you’re talking to your crush.

When your brain breaks wind in the midst of a perfect storm, though? You can end up with such unfortunate communication breakdowns that you immediately consider tossing yourself in front of a city bus. 

Below, brave Redditors share their most thoroughly embarrassing stupid statements, many of which include conversations with inanimate objects.
