A Viral Twitter Thread Has People Sharing Their "Dumbest Moments," And They Are Utterly Hilarious
Always remember that the internet never forgets.
Even the brightest among us are capable of making mistakes. As Dr. Adam Grant, an organizational psychologist, states, "Mistakes are a part of the learning process; they help us grow and adapt." This phenomenon can be attributed to moments of confusion, irrational decisions, or simply a fleeting mindset where everything seems to make sense, even the nonsensical.
Typically, we think of our friends as excellent people. They are always there for us, whether we are having problems, need inspiration to follow our dreams, or just want to enjoy the good moments.
However, even they occasionally make silly mistakes. Let's face it: we all have friends with somewhat eccentric ways of living.
While these circumstances cause us to question whether those around us are the sharpest, we also begin to recall the small mistakes we have made in the past. In essence, we've all experienced our fair share of foolishness.
Twitter has given us some amazing moments, but it has also given us some of the dumbest too. A wonderful thread of the most idiotic tweets ever was started when Twitter user Dr. Adam Grant invited others to post their favorite dumb moments from Twitter over the years.
See how many of these stories you can recall, from trending tweets to obscure major characters. So grab something to munch on, keep scrolling, and enjoy! ```

When these things occur, you are left to feel ashamed of your own awkwardness and foolishness, trying to fix them or salvage the situation by mentally berating yourself and hoping no one finds out. Not to worry; even the brightest among us experience this.
