Read 35 Of The Dumbest Things People Have Overheard Others Say And Feel Better About Yourself

"You're from Australia? Can you speak African?"

Reddit has no shortage of wild stories, but this one stands out for all the wrong reasons. It started with a simple question about the dumbest person someone had ever met, and one former teacher had a very specific answer.

That answer led straight to Kevin, a ninth grader whose daily choices left his teacher stunned, his classmates confused, and his family even more revealing than the student himself. From missing class to mailing school checks to the wrong person, Kevin kept raising the bar in the most baffling way possible.

His story is hard to forget, and the comments only make it better. Read on.

Reddit did what Reddit does best, and the replies kept getting better.

Claims like these may mean nothing to the people who say them, but to the rest of us, they are unforgettable. Thank you, Reddit strangers, for sharing those stories.

Is it awful to say I feel a bit better and more secure about myself? Admittedly, no one is perfect, and mistakes are perfectly normal; our ability to learn new information is what really matters at the end of the day.

Some people really do make the rest of us look brilliant.

After “But does oxygen believe in you?” try these visual anomalies that make your logic spin in the mud.
