26 Incredibly Dumb Things That Every Single Person Has Done

Everyone amongst us has done dumb things. In fact, one will never find an individual who hasn’t done something stupid without thinking. Now while it is fine if someone behaves stupidly while alone, it is a whole other ball game if they do it in public. At that point in time, they become the butt of jokes. But as always, we try to look for humor in the situation. So- let’s check out the top 26 dumb things every individual must have done at some point in their lives. 

26 Dumb Things All Of Us Have Done In Our Lives

1. ‘I can’t hear you.’

…Something we should actually say when we can’t hear someone. But what do we actually do? Laugh and pretend that we are agreeing with them.

2. You Gotta Start When You Gotta Start

If you want to start something at six and miss that deadline, why should you start at that odd hour? It is always better to start off fresh- another hour would do!

3. Inception

Dreams tell us stories. But there are times when we wake up suddenly. Who knows- we might have been in the middle of a grand proposal. Let’s try getting back- only to get irritated.

4. Window-Shopping

When you leave the store without buying anything- how many people do you think are thinking that you stole something? We would say around 5.

5. ‘It’s Just Businezz’

Why pay $25 + $5 for shipping an order, when we can get free shipping for $30? We will tell you why- that is the American Education System.

6. Where IS my order?

It’s not enough that they have shipped it, no sire. I need to know where it is at this very point in time.

7. Photographic Memory- NOT

If you are trying to cook something while checking off the procedure from a box, it might be a good idea to save the box until AFTER you have cooked the dish.

8. Peter Griffin In A Forklift

Operating heavy machinery can refer to anything that is a. A machine, and b. Heavy. So why is it that we bypass every other item and land at a forklift?

9. What’s In A Name?

I know I have asked for your name twice already, but the third time is the charm, right?

10. Too Much Underwear- Not Enough Pants

If you are packing for a trip, the rule of thumb is to carry two pairs of underwear per day of the trip. If you go overboard, you might try selling them.

11. Sound and Sight

It shouldn’t ideally make sense for someone to reduce the volume in order to see better- but that is exactly what we do! And guess what? It works!

12. Power Nap

No one in the history of this world has been able to wake up in the morning at the designated hour, thought about taking a nap for just a minute, and wake up at the exact minute. It just doesn’t work like that.

13. The D Is Not Silent

We can be from any hemisphere on Earth, but all of us say wed-ness-day when we are trying to spell it.

14. Time Flies Fast

Do you know 2007 was 16 years ago? Well, we are shocked too!

15. It’s Demon Time

If you don’t open your eyes while washing your hair, you are plain fodder for demons. This is basic witchcraft 101.

16. Is That Your Cue?

If you want to look like a freaking pool champion, rub your cue as hard as you can against the chalk, while staring intensely at the table before you. Fake it till you make it, right?

17. The Remote Needs A Slap

If you slap your remote to make it work, you are just one of us. But the question is- why does it work? It really shouldn’t.

18. Put Yours Hands Up In The Air- And Wave It Like You Just Don’t Care!

You must have raised your hand in the air while lying down- for absolutely no reason! But it’s cool, as long as your hand isn’t aligned in a way that is eerily reminiscent of a certain Austrian dictator.

19. Clickity Click

A pair of tongs only work after you have clicked them a couple of times in the beginning. They need that vibration.

20. Over-Confident

Even if you buy just a single item at a supermarket, it would be a good idea to carry a shopping cart- just in case.

21. Quick Maths

2+2 has always been 4, but it is prone to shifting when we are giving exams. Better to just check it, right?

22. A Stranger In Their Own Home

If you are someone who cleans their room and steps in like an outsider to see how it looks, you are truly proud of your work.

23. Skibbi Do Pap Pap

Making random noises is an art. So don’t let anyone take that away from you.

24. Look At The Time, Will You?

Sometimes we bring our phone out to check the time- but get lost in doing something else. Happens- there is no reason to blame ourselves for that.

25. Karaoke In A Hearse

If you really want to hear the entire song during a car journey that is about to end why don’t you just stop somewhere and finish the song?

26. Never Too Sure

You must have silenced your phone till Kingdom come, but if the usher at a movie theatre asks you to check it once again- what’s the problem right?
