My dad watches alot of hisotry programmes so i like to wind him up by asking things like "The Crusades, was that when king athur went to afganistan to save jesus from being crusified?"
It appears that I've missed off the = 0, you're the first person to point it out. Thank you. Either way, my point still stands.Krion_Vark said:
GLaDOS: [Chell and GLaDOS are falling down a very long shaft] Oh. Hi. So. How are you holding up? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO!
[claps slowly three times]
GLaDOS: Oh good. My slow clap processor made it into this thing. So we have that. Since it doesn't look like we're going anywhere... Well, we are going somewhere. Alarmingly fast, actually. But since we're not busy other than that, here's a couple of facts. He's not just a regular moron. He's the product of the greatest minds of a generation working together with the express purpose of building the dumbest moron who ever lived. And you just put him in charge of the entire facility.

GLaDOS: Good, that's still working.

I once had a girl ask me how to work out how much fuel costs in total. I was shocked.
"Was there some vital step I took that was not obvious to others?" I thought to myself. Of course it was just Cost Per Unit x Quantity but it still amazes me to this day that she did not know this...in high-school.
Another one I know of was when one of my fellow hikers decided to make a burnt gum-leaf sandwich using a lighter. His ill-conceived snack had to wait though after he burnt his shirt instead. Again this was in High-School so he should have known better
Both are future Darwin Award winners

A history teacher asked us where in history we'd go to if we had a time machine.
Some guy answered the holocaust.
Some girl answered the Titanic.
I answered the Battle of Stalingrad
And then a different girl raged and called me and the guy Nazis because we want to go back to that time.
She wanted to go back to 9/11 to warn everybody and tell them to gtfo the building.
Then again, I've had my share fair of being called a Nazi just because i'm an Atheist, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

Just remembered this now, it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Once are class was given a spelling test and one of the words to spell was Dog. D.O.G = Dog. Yet the teacher decides this is wrong. Writes over my answer and replaces it with....Dog.
At a job induction/training thing we were required to fill in some bank details.
One of these is 'Bank name'
Girl next to me: "Hmm, bank name *turns to me* do we just put the name of the bank?"
I nearly died of shame for being associated with her in any way when she said that. This is a job at a theme park where she may end up being responsible for the safety of other people.

The best one I can think of is similar.EightGaugeHippo said:
Sitting in the middle of a test next to a girl in my social studies class. We're writing essays and the girl raises her hand. The teacher comes over and the girl asks "Which war was the one with Hitler again?". Facepalmed so hard, and I had to sit next to that all year.
This, when it was relevant.

reminds me about how my brother used to tank when he had no idea how to just because it got him into groups quicker. Also reminds me when i was a WoW newb (despite how i was around the 40s or 50s, WoW was a new type of MMO to me) i used to heal groups in dungeons when my build was elemental... i have no idea why those groups never complained.Haakong said:
Also when i did my first dungeon, i blue chest for around lvl 20 dropped, it was mail. A guy told me not to take it because another guy needed it, i ended up taking it anyway. They got mad saying that i wouldnt need that because i can't wear mail yet and someone else needed it. I replied "I'll use it when i get to lvl 40". I facepalmed months later when i realized my mistake.
This takes the cake here, I won money because of it.
Friend: I have Zelda for my PS3.
Me: That's impossible, is it hacked?
Friend: No I bought it from walmart the other day.
Me: Bet you 20$ it isn't Zelda
Friend: You just lost 20$ my friend.
Yeah I won 20 bucks that day.

Earlier this year, my class was studying 20th century Russia in History class. So, this course obviously came with a lot of time devoted to explaining socialism and communism. The week before final exams, a classmate said, "What's socialism?"
Recently at my work place one of the bar staff calls over the radio "Hey guys which country does Mount Kosciuszko beer come from? Is it Belgium or Czech?" Instant face palm from everyone in the kitchen and blank stares from customers.
Mount Kosciuszko is Australia's Highest mountain and the girl on the radio unlike many of the people working at our hotel is Australian. And even if her geography is a bit off, why didn't she just read the label on the stubby?

If you make her intimidated to ask questions, then you're stifling her ability to learn. I suggest you don't do that.dslatch said:
I work at an IT Helpdesk.
Also, I went to high school in the USA.
So I have about 2,000 examples I could go through.
I remember a legit debate happening in class about people who thought America was a continent and Europe was a country.
Also I had a caller TODAY who raged at me about her computer not working and it ended up not being on. Spent 5 minutes trying to explain to her that the power button on the monitor isn't the same as the power button on the tower. She thinks it's a bad design.
