My most gullible momentSomeone once told me that gullible wasn't in the dictionary and I went, "yeah yeah ha ha" but when they were gone that didn't stop me checking. What was YOUR most gullible moment? Zero points for buying an icon on b3ta.

On vacaySo ashamed of this one, as I consider myself moderately technologically savvy.
Anyway, was on vacation and visiting some office building where my father was temporarily working. He waves me over to his colleagues, who are deep in conversation. One lady is describing a sort of device, like a microphone, which you could speak into, and it would immediately translate what you said into any language you chose. Of course, I piped up with 'gee, it sure would be handy to have one of those'.
Hm, wonder why everyone went quiet? Oh. It's from a sci fi show on tv. Right, then...
(Ok, so not really gullible and more downright stupid, but still.)
