Show me a person who claims they never talk nonsense and I’ll show you a liar. Silly words falling from our mouths is what makes us human.
But preaching ignorance in an attempt to persuade others? Not so much.
Recently, Redditor GuyWithAScuffedLife asked other platform users: “What is the dumbest thing someone has said with full confidence?” And boy, did that question resonate with everyone!
So far, the post has received nearly 1,500 comments, many of which prove how easy it is to make a fool of yourself.

A woman yelled at me for parking a car with a handicap tag in a non-handicap spot. She believed that I had to park only in handicap spots.

Discussing religion with two Christian friends (Brother and sister duo) – I’m a nonbeliever and they were in your face jerks about it. These two are pretty much why I hate discussing religion.
The sister said something like “I bet you don’t even know how many apostles there were!”
I said “Twelve.”
The brother shouts “Ha! Wrong! It was seven!”
To her credit, the sister immediately facepalmed. And I kid you not when I say this is my actual response: “So, was it Doc or Dopey that betrayed Christ?”

“If evolution is true then how did a human man evolve perfectly to match a human woman.”
As if they evolved separately then met up one day.

“It’s FAA law that there can only be one Christian pilot per plane. That way when the rapture comes, the other guy can land the sinners left on the plane safely.”
This was in college. Not a religious college. She said this like we were the stupid ones.

That being diabetic is something you can DO at home, and an addiction that is not suitable to DO when in public.
Yes, someone told me that in full confidence.

Someone told me you could get to Hawaii by boat in 20 minutes because it’s right off the coast of California.
I think he was looking at one of those maps that had Alaska and Hawaii in the bottom left corner and thought that’s how it really was.

I told a guy a few hours after a terrible date (needed to calm down) that it wasn’t going to work between us. Two days later I get a text saying he had a long hard conversation with himself the day after the date and, long story short, he didn’t think we were compatible to date right now.
Completely confident that it was his idea. Just gonna let him think it and be glad I never have to deal with again.

A coworker of mine once told me that any animal could reproduce with any other animal, that DNA wasn’t important and that all sperm was the same.
She believed this because she once saw a litter of diseased, deformed puppies and had decided that they must be half rat.

I once drove past a car park being demolished with my mum in the car. The demo crew were spraying the structure with water to keep the dust down, my mother, bless her insisted they were doing it to soften the concrete.

I was in a high school history class and we were talking about Freud. Our teacher asked if any of us knew what penis envy was. One student who was straight faced and way too confident answered “it’s when one man is jealous of another man’s penis size”. Comedy gold.

“I thought the turtle would eat algae. That’s what my koi did.”
The baby turtle was kept in a small glass bowl without algae. It also didn’t have UV light, and was fed shrimp, the turtle equivalent of living on desserts. I got it a perching spot in an aquarium, UV light, water heater/thermostat, and real turtle pellets.
This person otherwise comes off as fairly bright, and sustains himself with his own businesses. The differences between fish and reptiles apparently didn’t really hit him.
