You’ve likely been in a situation where something someone said completely dumbfounded you. You had to ask yourself whether this person was joking, only to find out that they were actually serious. You probably formed opinions, unflattering ones, at that.
This was likely the experience these people had, which is why they had to share it on Reddit. The thread was about the stupidest thing they’ve heard someone say, and the responses poured in.
Readers, if you have that one completely inane statement from someone that stands out to you, feel free to share it in the comments.
