I 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?

One day I went into the bank to use the cash points inside.
There was a bank of about 5 each labelled above them, cash, except for the last one which said cash & pay in.
There were people using each one except the last one and a queue of about 5 dreadful, stuck up, Guildford women. I looked at the last cashpoint, clearly working.
I turned to the woman at the front of the queue and said 'you know this one is working?'
She looked at me like I was completely mental and said, as if I was a complete simpleton, 'yes, but that one is cash and pay in'.
So I walked up to it, took my money out and walked away to their joint gasps of wonder.

"you'll get a fine if you don't pay in too, or break it"
