Most of us like to think we’re on the same page as other folks, that, by and large, we tend to have a similar perception of reality. However, every once in a while, one has a conversation that is so bizarrely tone-deaf or just unrealistic that it makes one pause and consider.

So get comfortable as you scroll through, prepare to roll your eyes, upvote the most egregious ones and be sure to share your thoughts and personal experiences in the comments down below.

“Money won’t solve your problems”

F*****g shut up. I know that. But I bet I’d be less anxious if I wasn’t scared of a random medical bill or if I wasn’t watching my money daily, or pay for a maid
Or caretaking for my elderly family.

Money will not solve my problems, but it gives me the freedom and opportunity to address them and make them easier to fix.

When i was 10 i walked home from school and this old lady stormed up to me and starting screaming in my face“you’re brown what are you doing in this part or town? go trash your own neighborhood” and a lot more i shouldn’t put on here. if any one says “they’re old. it’s how they were raised” that is not an excuse they lived through revolutionary times and should be kept up to date on civil rights. f**k. that. s**t.

“If it’s a legitimate r**e, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” – former US Representative Todd Akin.

Anon:

This guy is terrible. He is wrong. He is also quoting a very common belief that has been in medical science for thousands of years because ARISTOTLE claimed this. And because Aristotle made this claim, innumerable women from ancient times, medieval times, and on through all of history and well into the modern era have paid massive prices, including being put to death for infidelity.

Men can’t be s**ually harassed. As someone who be assaulted and harassed with people saying I’m a liar. I was f*****g furious.

#5

The entire theory of tabula rasa or the blank slate. Basically that everyone starts life equally. That’s f*****g idiotic from every single conceivable angle.

#6

“Unions have never done anything for this country” during a federally mandated 3 day weekend that we were all using to go on vacation.

#7

A more lighthearted one than most of these comments, but a male friend in high school joined in a conversation after our female friend said she was planning to lie about being on her period to get out of swimming in PE.

He responded: Well that won’t work, she’s a female teacher so she’ll know you’re lying because she doesn’t have hers!

Turns out he thought all women everywhere get their period at the exact same time every month… we’re all synced up.

His face when we explained… 😂.

I JUST got told by some woman that Māori don’t know what oppression is, which was pretty hilarious.

unoriginal-gangsta:

Probably the same people saying “stop saying Aotearoa – we live in New Zealand” and farmers with their “stop shoving Te Rayo down our throats” well buddy first of all, whose land are you farming on. 🤔

#9

That I ruined my moms life by being born. She told me this 2 days ago, I’m 14. Like b***h I didnt choose to be born…

#10

My managers at work don’t understand depression and think someone can just man up.

F****n wild.

IlyssaValentyne:

So many people don’t know the difference between being depressed and having depression.

Admirable-Valuable-6:

A lot of people also don’t understand just being sad compared to actual depression.
