IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

I was chatting to a friend of a friend over cocktailsgetting rather drunk, when she said that she's not a tory because Maggie Thatcher broke the unions, and unions are just standing up for the workers. I tried to explain how taking a look at unions in america will show how unions can go wrong, and added a few anecdotes of shop stewards here in the UK abusing personell records. One nice one was how I was chatting to a Unison organiser who told me that my profession could never have a union "because if you went on strike someone else could just do the work".
She started shouting "You're a fucking ignorant racist tory!", which confused me no end, as I had just told her how I was a libdem activist (this was pre-coalition) and that I agreed with her that Thatcher was an evil bint who screwed over millions of people.
Silly bint.
