Yes.

People thinking that antimatter is the same as parallel universes ...:P

Cheap Thrills!

The rank stupidity I see on the roads every day...boring answer, but true. And it's only getting worse.

How I would dearly love to batter the crap outta some of the morons that get behind the wheel in this Country!

Saying "I do"...

MultiUmm

I think the nanny states we've developed are pretty stupid tbh.

I can't really pinpoint an exact moment of extreme stupidity, probably encountered many though.

R0ot

You see it every single day in Dublin, people, that when the bus stops, seem to think that crowding the door when people are trying to get off will somehow make there overall journey shorter (by impeding others). Morons.

Superbus

The guys who asked me, a 16 year old, to buy them drink.

That was pretty stupid.

KevinVonSpiel

Cigarette smoking has got to be up there somewhere...

Well, I said "I do" to my best friend, because I love her & want to spend the rest of my days with her.

I really can't see anything stupid about that.

Second most stupid thing was some guy with a mohawk in Copper Face jacks.

Most stupid thing was him believing the bouncer when he told him me and my mates were Guards and we were going to arrest him and give him a hiding.

When a friend of mine thought the tv had changed language to 'russian' when in fact they had actually just changed to the dutch news channel by accident.

Happens to us all lol
I always carry my phone in my pocket and take it out when i'm texting and such. There's the odd time when I pat my pocket, realise it's empty and outright panic that i've lost my phone....when it's been in my hand the whole time.

I do things like this all the time.

My eyes are really sensitive to light and I always need to put on sunglasses when I'm driving (darker ones in the summer usually). I find the grey light in the winter kills my eyes and obviously need them for the sunny days (the few we get!) in summer.

Anyway, I'm there one day running late for work, really sunny outside and I'm looking for my glasses. Running around like a headless chicken.

Mum comes in to see what the racket is about....she then reveals that the sun glasses were on my head the whole time.

Eve_Dublin

Off the top of my head, the young guys who I saw throw rocks at a gay couple kissing outside a bar on George´s Street. Stupid numpties with nothing upstairs.

longshanks

i was watching jedward let loose a while ago and i was thinking 'hmmm those two are pretty stupid'

then in a soul crushingly blinding flash of clarity i realised i'm the fool for watching that shite

An elderly acquaintance asked me to change the batteries in his kitchen radio, and told me the spares were in the drawer. The radio took two AA batteries, but I could only find one in the drawer.

''Thats ok, it should do'' he said, ''I keep the volume down low''

A cousin of mine told our grandmother about her cot-death fears for her new baby. Our granny told her there was only one sure-fire way to avoid it - let her sleep in the pram!

Its sort of endearing stupidity, not dangerous stupidity.:)
