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?

The millenniumI was running round Sydney in 1999, and being British was asked by a couple of locals we had become friendly with what our opinion on the referendum on the monarchy Australia was hold was. Having been out there for a while I replied that it didn't really bother me but I was surprised about the lack of press the referendum we were holding in the UK was getting.
"What's that then?" came the enquiry
"Well, obviously it's a bit offensive to a sovereign nation to be told you are having a discussion on whether you want our queen as your head of state, so we are holding one to see if we should tell you lot to fuck off and withdraw the honour."
I got bought drinks for about a week afterwards as they totally saw my point and wanted to show there were no hard feelings. Result!
