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 used to live in Brazil.in the early says, I went into a shop to buy teeshirts. I asked for some help in dodgy Portuguese and was met with a puzzled look, and directions to the chemists 2 shops along.
Camisetta = teeshirt.
Camisinha = condom.
No prize for guessing which one I had asked for.
I also once went to a shop to buy a battery charger, and managed to ask for 'one who shits himself'.
carregar = to charge
cagar = to shit

Bacalhau com baratas = Cod with cockroaches
Bacalhau com batatas = Cod with potatoes

That's much better than mine. I shall use that next time I'm over there.
Maybe ask for some baratas fritas.
