Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

Just this very day...My phone is away being repaired and the bog standard loaner I was given finally lost the novelty retro value so off I wandered to the Carphone Whorehouse to grab a new one.
Chose the phone, went to the counter and went through the rigmarole of actually purchasing the goods - name, address etc. - all went well until the postcode:
"So, wos yer postcode?" inquired till monkey.
I gave him it, then repeated it in the phonetic alphabet as I usually do to prevent mistakes...only to see him typing on the keyboard '2 echo lima'
*facepalm*

Reminds me of the episode of Curb...... with Larry and the doctor arguing over the use of the doctor's phone. "Yeah, there's certainly one prick involved!"
"I gave him it, then repeated it in the phonetic alphabet..."

oh yesMy postcode ends six Hotel Bravo. This completely bemused the hotdesking monkey on the phone who said -"I've started taking down your address. Is where hotel bravo is?" I had to spell it out from alpha to about golf before he'd caught on.....
