‘What is one of the dumbest things a person has said to you?’ 17 of the shortest planks

A Redditor named u/Smejbur asked –

What is one of the dumbest things a person has said to you?

They added their own anecdote – and possibly the inspiration for the question.

I’ll go first. I moved across the country. Where I live now we are two hours ahead with the time change. I was on the phone with a girlfriend and said “oh its only ten o’clock here” to which she replied “you’re so lucky living there getting an extra two hours a day, I wish I had that.”

Anyway …here are several dumb things.

1.

Had a cold caller try to buy my house. Asked what I would take, I said half a million. She asked if I would go lower. I said yeah $500,000. She said perfect, I’ll get with management.

While working at Home Depot. At first I thought he was kidding and I started to laugh and then I realized he meant it.
