We all have that one friend who says the stupidest things. Over at r/AskReddit are some hilarious stories of people saying dumb stuff and believing they're right. You can't help but facepalm and walk away, because there is no arguing with them.

She was very serious that a useable hand-held shower head without a hose, because the hose was “ugly”. Asked if she meant an overhead or a wall-mounted shower head because those didn’t require a hose. Nope. She wanted the water to flow from the wall into a handheld shower head without a hose. I tried to tell her that wasn’t possible and ended up sending her to a different home improvement store. u/Lone_Ronin_

I knew an American guy who claimed that bears were not dangerous to humans. He claimed that if you were ever attacked by a bear all you would need to do is stick your thumb up its rear end and it would immediately fall asleep. Yeah I can just see an angry bear stop attacking you the minute you tell it to "Bend over." u/ElvishMystical

My ex-husband was a horrible driver. Wrecked everything he ever owned and then some, but he somehow thought he was an excellent driver. We were riding through a town with a 4-lane main road. He started to change lanes oblivious to the car that was located exactly where he was headed. I told him to stay in his lane, and fortunately, he did. He said, 100% seriously, that if he'd changed lanes and crashed into the car that was already there, it would have been their fault because they didn't honk their horn to warn him. u/sirdigbykittencaesar

My cousin was not the sharpest tool in the shed, he was convinced he could have an unprotected affair with any women as his current girlfriend was pregnant so there was no risk he could get another girl pregnant. u/joeyboii23

My co-worker. We were all having a conversation. I don't remember what we were talking about, but I said something to the extent of "Crazy, it's like someone thinking the earth is flat." His response was "well, it is." My other co-worker and I looked at each other confused. Flat-Earth co-worker continues explaining why the earth is flat. He was saying it like he was stating facts. We're engineers for crying out loud. You paid too much money for your glasses, and degree to see things this way! u/Boyblack

The Caribbean coast is off the coast of England because they have British accents in Pirates of The Caribbean. This man was in the military and had no knowledge of geography. u/Aware_Statment_205

A guy was hitting on me at a bar once when I was single in my 20’s & he told me he’s really good in bed and loves sucking on a woman’s clip. A CLIP! …. I immediately walked away. God help him. u/pinkseamonkeyballs

My brother, against all laws of known physics, is absolutely certain that if he was ever in a tsunami he could just "swim under it". We've both been in the ocean plenty of times, surfed a bit, and have definitely had our share of waves knock us off, but he's still certain he could do it if he got the timing right. u/Magic_Man_Boobs
