Very clever people shared their very stupid mistakes – 17 funniest schoolboy errors

It all started when someone very clever called Paul – we know he’s clever because he’s got a PhD and stuff – shared their very stupid mistake.

Hi. My name is Paul. I have a PhD and tenure. Today I decided to test if a bottle of super glue was open by squirting it into my hand.

Then I tried to clean my hand by wiping it on a box.

And it prompted lots of people to share their own hilarious schoolboy errors and it’s very funny and totally relatable. The stupid mistake, not the very clever bit, obviously.

This reminds me of the time I got a new shredder. I shredded bank statements & was enjoying myself so much I ran out of things to shred so I put the instruction manual in the machine. It got stuck. I couldn’t work out how to open it up and I didn’t have the instructions.

I’m an aerospace engineer. I have on at least three occasions came out of a convenience store and opened a car door and sat down into someone else’s unlocked car while wondering why the interior looked weird and where my stuff went.

If it makes you feel better, I took my car in because it kept clanking when it went over railroad tracks & I was convinced a wheel would come off. Nope. It was my panini grill I was taking to work making the noise ‍♀️ they didn’t charge me- they were laughing too hard

Thought my car was stuck in the snow. Had 5 fellas try to push me out only to realize I had the parking break on.
Released the parking g brake. Guys pushed me out. They all cheered.
I didn’t tell them.

I once tried to open a bottle of super glue by removing the lid with my teeth.

Super glue doesn’t taste good.

I used to work in a pool bar. I once had to call ab ambulance for someone who got cueball stuck in his mouth for a bet. When paramedics arrived they asked what happened and his friend demonstrated and got one stuck in his mouth

I don’t have a PHD however I’m usually pretty cluey. I once blew on my ice cream because it was too cold and also reached for my seatbelt when I sat at my desk.

I hope that makes you feel a little better.

I’m a professional chef with 2 degrees and 20+ years of experience, and last week I shocked myself when I licked brownie batter off of a hand mixer that was still plugged in.

I have degrees in Microbiology, Human Resources, and a certificate in Health and Safety. I also spent 35 minutes trying to get into the wrong car in a parking lot at my grocery store. Called CAA, and when they showed and went to jimmy the lock, I noticed MY car one row over pic.twitter.com/wx5PjFFBd8
