Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

I had just started work in a new office for an energy company and was sitting next to my assistant manager, going through the mail.Me: "We've got a letter here from our company where a customer has sent in a cheque for their electricity account but we don't know what account they're referring to. Do you know what department it needs to go to?
Assistant manager: *stares blankly at letter for five minutes before a sudden eureka expression lights up her face* "Do you know what this is? It's a letter from our company where a customer has sent in a cheque for their electricity account but we don't know what account they're referring to. You'd better forward it to whatever department deals with this."
Me: "Uh... wha... you... no wait, seriously?"
This was the first of many similar incidents. Shortly afterwards, the moron in question got promoted to manager. I am very glad to say that I don't work in the industry anymore.
