My sister makes me think this sometimes.

This weekend my mum was cooking, had just turned off the electric hob and put another pan on the hob next to it, as she did so she said "Watch that, it's still hot".

I knew she meant the hob she'd just turned off, not the pan she'd only that second placed on the hob, but jokingly touched the pan and said "seems fine to me".

My sister then said "Not that, that" as she placed her hand on the still glowing hob, followed by much pain.
 
Me: The Asian tennis player is quite good

Mother: She looks Chinese, not Asian :o

Also had a friend who had a burst tyre, got told to get the spare from the boot to which he argued there was nothing in his boot as he had just took the shopping out. He didnt realise their was a compartment underneath with the tyre

I heard once that someone I knew was told to go "straight over the roundabout" on their driving test, and literally did just that, over the middle of it *facepalm*

Im not alone :D Although mine was crashing my car and not actually in the same sense as you haha
 
I saw a guy pull into the petrol pump too far forward the other day. Instead of reversing the car back he opened the door and pushed the car back. The door was opened a little too wide and smashed into the petrol pump which brought the car to a halt.

I have absolutely no idea what you're trying to say, but I think it's safe to assume that you got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning?
 
Where to begin...

Worked with a guy from Libya.
One girl wanted to hear him say something in "Lebanese"; another heard him say he was from a place near Tripoli, to which she replied "oh, quite near to Paris".:eek:

I was trying to put some posters up in a window using transparent oval stickers. I used the last one, so (jokingly) asked a female colleague to get me some magnets to attach the remaining posters, assuming she'd get the joke. She didn't and dutifully returned with some magnets....

All these classics from a young girl at work:
  • Insists she's 5ft 7" despite everyone telling her she's at least 2-3 inches smaller than that. Two tape measures later, both reading 5ft 4", we are told that "they are both wrong".:rolleyes:
  • Refuses to believe that the stars are very distant suns. "If they were like the sun we'd be able to see them in daylight".
  • "You can't die from drinking water, it's good for you" as she's about to down two 5-litre bottles of water to win a 50p bet.:eek::eek::eek:
  • It's impossible to walk along a 15ft corridor, down 23 stairs, then along another 20ft corridor in less than 3 minutes.

And similar to robmol's one:
A non-male friend was having driving lessons and was told at every junction to either turn left or right. Gets to another junction, instructor hasn't said anything, so she drove straight ahead into a hedge, blaming him for "not telling me which way to turn".

A mate's gf is convinced NASA have a room they suck all the air out of to switch off mavity, it's true because she saw it in Armegeddon, I actually had an hour long argument with her over it and she remains convinced./QUOTE]

You wouldn't believe how many people I talk to actually think that anti mavity rooms exist.

In general though I have learnt to be sanguine regarding other peoples stupid comments, best to just let them believe what they want.

I got some take out food delivered the other week and fter paying the guy told me to have a nice meal. I replied with "You too". It wasn't until I shut the door did I realise what I had said.
 
Having a discussion about earth/solar system related things with a female work colleague and she told me about how she was worried about the earth tipping on it's axis....and that we would all fall off... :o

I was trying to say that your post came across as terribly misogynistic. Although you're right - for clarity, perhaps I should have just said that in the first place.

When I was at uni a couple of pranksters set up a petition stall to "end women's suffrage". They had over 300 signatures when I passed it at 3 in the afternoon.
