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?

FIRE!I was once at a November 5th fireworks party, got called "An ignorant pig" by the local posh girl because I was fanning the bonfire with a board to stop it from going out. She ran indoors, and after much shouting in italics and bold font ("Can't you see he's trying to blow it out and spoil it for everybody?!") she got her equally posh father to come stomping down the garden to call me an ignorant pig as well.
By that time, the flames were already burning the branches off nearby trees.
