Me: Careful, cut too much, and he’ll be able to reach his stitches.

Her: That’s alright. He’ll be able to keep them clean.

I had to explain to her, very slowly, that the purpose of the cone was to keep him from licking the stitches and pulling them out. She honestly thought the cone was just an aesthetic thing.

I had to explain to a doctor’s receptionist from Michigan once that Canada was not located somewhere mysteriously “across the ocean?”, but rather across the border… from Michigan. My mom and I spent the car ride home in stunned silence.

That driving north meant the whole trip was uphill.

I laughed at her until I realised she meant it, ended up laughing at myself cos there’s no way I was going to explain it to her.

New England isn’t part of Europe (to three different people). Get your s**t together, Arizona public school system.

Used to work at a daycare. One day a little mouse entered the premises and caused an uproar until we caught and released it in the playground. 

After the whole ordeal, one of my colleagues (who was the dumbest person I’ve ever met) said: “let’s hope it didn’t lay eggs anywhere!” 

I was too stunned to speak and just stared at her, while my room leader/friend said, in the most done-with-this-s**t way: “Mice don’t lay eggs, .” and walked off. 

EDIT: I love how so many people in these replies are trying to find a different interpretation of what she must have meant, or say that she must have been joking 😀 but no, unfortunately I have to tell you she was 100% of the opinion that mice lay eggs because she even doubled down about it later.
