This thread was originally gonna be a reply to THIS, but my reply got too long and the thread died, so I'm not gonna waste the time and effort for like 2 views. 
This thread is about dumb/ignorant people. It's about straight-up morons who just don't give two craps about advancing themselves intellectually in any way. It's about the things people do/say that just make you shake your head. This thread is meant to be good-spirited and all the people below in the stories are "normal" people with no learning disabilities. Here are a few examples.
I know a girl who thinks the capital of NY is NJ. Same girl thinks two-dollar bills are fake money, not legal tender.
I know a few people who can't point out Massachusetts on a map. I'm talking about people who live in Massachusetts.
I know a lady (friend of my mother) who counts dimes in piles of 10, then adds the groups of 10 using a calculator to figure out the total. There were 8 stacks. I couldn't stand watching her count 100x slower than a normal human, so I helped her. She couldn't understand the concept of just counting the damn dimes and moving the decimal point over to determine the total. She didn't know what 'decimal' meant and watched in total amazement as I counted those dimes 'soooo fast'.
I know several people who can barely speak English. (My brother in law being the worst, my poor sister. ) I'm talking people who speak English as their primary language. By this I mean just so damn stupid you literally can not carry on a conversation with them and know what the hell they're talking about. Every third word is the F-bomb, and they have an active vocabulary of roughly 50 words.
I know a lady who thought the TONER cartridge (for the HP 5si printers) PRODUCES the paper for the printer. She thought the toner releases from the cartridge and some internal mechanism "presses" it into paper just before printing. It took two of us to convince her you gotta load paper into the printer in order for it to print.
I know a woman (ex girlfriend unfortunately) who thinks the moon IS the sun. Yea this one was hard for me to even grasp. She thought the sun (moon) dimmed at night and that's why it got dark. I kid you not guys!
I know one guy who thinks girls piss out of their ass, and no matter how many people tell him otherwise, he doesn't believe it. He thinks the vagina is for sex and birthing only.
I've had these stories pent up in me for a long time now, and it's good to get them out. FYI, I don't sh!t on these people, and I don't consider myself especially smart. I just think it's sad how little some people know about basic, universal things. Man, there are so many more stories, I just can't think of any more right now. (Maybe I am stupid after all. )
Anyone else have any "stupid people" stories to share?
