Stupid things you've overheard in public

[El Guaraguao]

I was at home depot the other day looking for a fuse. I had a question for the electrical guy working there, I found him in front of the fuses with another person and walked into the guy asking the employee, what does mA (milliamps) stand for. and the employee told him megahertz. I understand not many people know what ma stood for, but to make up shit? that deserves to be loled at.

Let's see..

"That man is a terrorist! His name is Obama for Christ's sake! He's a muslim, and he won't even put his hand on the bible! He made them get the Kobar or whatever instead!"

"I love how scientists think the earth is so old. You know that the sun is shrinking 4 feet a day? Therefore, if we went back a million years ago that means that the sun was huge and would have burned the earth if it existed! That is just factual science! Not to mention, if the universe was so old all the ice on those other planets would have melted by now."

"Your blood is blue till it reaches the air!"

Last one was from a science teacher.

The other day, I was at the park with my daughter. I walked over to the slide to just keep an eye on her to make sure she didn't tumble off the top or anything, and I overhear two women who are standing just a few feet away. I walked over in the middle of their conversation, which I assume was about getting mice in their house, when one of them says, "You can't really keep them from getting into your house, I mean, mice have no bones so they can fit through anything."

Ya, it wasn't the most profoundly stupid thing I ever heard, but I got a little chuckle out of it. What are some nuggets of stupidity you've heard strangers belt out?

Mice have no bones.

What are you talking about?

Duh, how do you think they can slip in and out of air conditioners.

They can temporarily melt their bones and then reform then on the other side.

She kept on referring to it as Zin-fan-dale, as if it were a place.

"If it weren't for my horse..." as in, giddyup, giddyup, let's go ? "I wouldn't have spent that year in college," which is a degree-granting institution.

Perhaps it was a veterinary college and her horse had a serious problem? Perhaps she had transportation issues and the horse provided her with reliable transportation?

Yeah - and maybe she had sex with the horse for money so she could afford tuition

sigh. im not sure to laugh at you two or facepalm.

It's cool i facepalm'd then laughed at both of em.

A woman that lived in a house next to high voltage transmission lines blamed all the things going wrong with her life on the radiation [sic] from the power lines. She went on to say it caused a miscarriage and her pets to commit suicide by running into traffic. She also said since she moved their her children have poor grades in school because of their developing brains getting microwaved. [sic]

The funniest was the time a lady stayed clear of the internet cafe because of wifi and when asked why she went on how the 2.4GHz waves [sic] were ripping through our bodies. She said evil things ride on those waves such as people visiting web sites with videos of men and women having sex with pets and farm animals! She said that makes children grow up with bestiality qualities! [sic]

In a grocery store during a thunderstorm I heard a man yell at a boy that was waiting to be picked up. He had a dog on a leash and told the boy he was about to get killed because dogs attract lightning! :laugh:

 

[PepePeru]

overheard at a shitty Mexican rest. in Pratt, Kansas.

White trash people were drinking.
White trash people talking loudly.

Woman A:
'YOU GOT ANY INDIAN IN YA?!'
Woman B:
'ONLY ONCE'

Followed by copious amounts of hacking white trash laughs.

Ugh.

or perhaps it was a Louis Black bit?

just guessing here.

Vestigial != does not exist.

Since the entire thread was about people being stupid, it needed rectified.

In light of this comment, I should also point out that snakes are venomous, not poisonous.

/facepalm

wat?


Large iced coffee = 20 calories
Sugar = 100 more calories
an "extra light" amount of cream = maybe 50-100 more

Total for a 32oz iced coffee = lets round to around 250 cals. That's 3 munchkins. How many munchkins you think she would eat at a time not know how bad they are? 2? Those things are tiny. She probably had 5-6 (or more) thinking they couldn't be that bad.

Drunk suburban girl: Come on! Let's go dance around in the fountain and take pictures of it! I love this city!
Begrudgingly sober suburban girl: Fuck this city. If we don't make the 12:37 back I'm going to drown you in that fountain.

Thats my fave.

Also, most of the stuff I hear at fast-food joints is funny. People ordering rich coffee's and non-fat creamer. Folks getting 4 Big-Macs and a Diet Coke. Perhaps adding a salad on top of your three extra-large number 5's. That shit is hilarious. Even better is fatties at resturaunts harrasing the waitress when she brings dairy creamer or real butter to the table. I just wanna shout out: "Dude, your arteries could fill the deep fryer for a year!"

As soon as I saw the topic title I immediately thought of his skit
