Unless you have some sort of allergy or dietary requirement, you’re simply not going to say no to a box of Dunkin’ doughnuts. When someone brings a dozen of these angelic rings of heaven to your office, you know you have an excellent co-worker.

He (or she) is a keeper! However, this person just committed social suicide when he decided to make an April Fools joke, filling a Dunkin’ donuts box full of vegetables. This is so not cool, man. NOT COOL AT ALL.

It is perfectly normal in the workplace for people to prank each other from time to time. In fact, most companies have at least one mischievous figure who is considered to be the office prankster.

It seems that in this office, the naughty person likes to decorate his friend’s workspaces by covering them in post-it notes from head to toe. Let’s face it though; would you really be upset if your desk looked like this? It looks pretty cool!

Now, we don’t have a clear idea of what the person who printed this note meant. Did they mean job advertisements or job specifications? However, it seems that one person had a different group of jobs on his mind. That’s right folks – Steve Jobs.

While we have a couple of theories of what it may have meant, one person in this office thought the writer of the message meant “a portrait of Apple found Steve Jobs.” How they drew that conclusion from such a vague message, we’ll never know. Nevertheless, they chose to break the rule anyway. Mr. Jobs must be rolling in his grave after the guy printed this.

When one worker entered the office one morning, he was minding his own business, making breakfast and coffee, and setting himself up for the busy day ahead.

Then he went to the bathroom to relieve himself. However, when he went to wash his hands, he lifted his head up to look at himself in the mirror, and he was startled by the figure staring at him in the bathroom corner. Lo and behold, it was Mr. Bean.

Teamwork is often a virtue that co-workers strive for in an office environment. When two or more people come together and strive for the greater good of the company, you know that they are worth keeping around.

However, this team took things to another level when they chose to construct their very own office castle. Not only are the rest of their colleagues unable to see what they are doing in their hidden fortress; they even have a drawbridge! People just want to have the opportunity to get up out of their office cubicle and sing the following: “I’m the king of the castle and you’re the dirty rascal!”

One way to protect your food from being stolen at work is by putting your name on it. However, there is one employee who doesn’t seem to get the hint – Moyo.

As a result of this, her colleagues have decided to do things a little differently. Instead of putting their own names on their respective foods, they wrote labels on them that said: “not Moyo’s.” Sometimes you just need to do what’s necessary to hold onto your lunch.

Many companies provide office perks that make things a little more enjoyable for their employees. Some companies have happy hours, while others have ping pong rooms.

There are even some that take their employees on trips. However, it appears that these workers didn’t get any fun activity at their office and, as a result, needed to take matters into their own hands. So they constructed a little golf hole to practice their putting skills on. Amazingly, the boss still doesn’t know about it.

How stupid can you be to violate your own rule? When one person in this office wanted to establish the rule that no thumbtacks are allowed on the wall, they ended up sticking the notice on the wall…with thumbtacks!

Naturally infuriated by this insane level of hypocrisy, other co-workers decided to fight fire with fire, escalating in an all-out war of new rules, each one contradicting the other. We’re still not sure if this was a joke to begin with.

As previously established, writing your name on your lunch at work is (normally) a foolproof way of making sure that no one else eats it. Right? Right? Wrong.

Even though someone tried to play dumb with this cheeky little E-card, it is clear that they are faking their own naivety in order to steal a sandwich. The things that people do to take other people’s food is absolutely criminal. Word of advice: bring your own mini-fridge to work, and put a padlock on it too.

There is no doubt that offices are a prime location for innovation and new ideas. Sometimes though, that way of thinking bleeds into the kitchen.

While it is generally encouraged for people to be aware of their own hygiene, this might be going one step too far. Does a group of grown adult employees need a tool to scoop a plastic spoon out of a drawer? Some offices have over-the-top policies, and this is certainly one of them.

When something in the office is not working, it makes perfect sense for there to be a notice informing the workers that it is currently out of order.

However, when it hasn’t been working for six months, it gets to a point where it is perfectly acceptable to wonder why it hasn’t been fixed yet. A kitchen needs a working faucet, especially when there are many people using it. So as the wise man wrote, “When will it be turned on due to fixage?”

If this doesn’t deter you from eating other people’s food at work, then nothing will. Some people just can’t control themselves in the office.

If they see a box containing a meal that looks remotely delicious, then they might steal it. But when one person succumbed to their temptations and took a work colleague’s lunch, little did they know that the custodian of that food had been suffering from mouth sores. Big mistake, buddy.

When one hard worker didn’t come to the office for a week due to a bad case of food poisoning, he wasn’t prepared for what he would see when he got back.

As he walked to his cubicle, he saw that it had been covered with “do not cross” tape and an outline of a body was on the floor. It turns out that his friends decided to give him a funny little prank upon his return.

We all wish that we could have our own private office to either improve our level of concentration or to help inflate our egos even more.

For those of us who are blessed with an office cubicle, there are times when it feels like three or four walls just isn’t enough. Take this guy, for example, who took it upon himself (literally) to add a roof to his workspace. Not only does it make the office darker though. It also looks very tricky to get out.

In what can only be described as the most useless note ever placed on an office fridge, an employee decided to mess around with his colleagues by offering them “Free Chicken Strips.”

We’re not sure what we’re more upset about, the fact that someone printed this or that others actually went with it. Maybe we’re missing something. There’s a chance that you might get a box of chicken strips if you take one of the paper strips? Here’s to hoping.

An office is usually portrayed as a place where everything needs to be taken seriously, with business always coming first.

However, new employees quickly learn that the average office is more like a playground, full of fun and games (and the occasional prank). While somebody put a smile on their colleagues’ faces when they wrote a couple of heartwarming post-it notes, he was simply covering up the fact that he broke the coffee maker in the first place.

When you’re working in an office full of heavily qualified and experienced individuals, you come to expect the highest level of professionalism in virtually every aspect of the company.

This includes the important notes placed around the communal areas, for whatever reason. Apparently, the overuse of sarcasm had affected this particular office for the worst, so someone created a day counter to improve workplace morale. However, they shot themselves in the foot when they spelled the word “sarcasm” wrong.

This office has a unique way of addressing its technical issues – quoting Bob Marley songs.

Let’s face it, the king of Reggae music is the poster boy when it comes to promoting relaxing vibes during the most stressful of times. However, in an office, you need at least one working printer. So they can sing “Buffalo Soldier,” “One Love,” and “No Woman No Cry” all day long, but it’s not going to fix the fact that they have zero ink.

Like anywhere else, an office should be a place for self-expression, where you don’t have to hide what you love.

But when one employee decided to show how much they adored for their favorite actor, Nicolas Cage, her colleagues couldn’t believe it. In what can only be described as a weird shrine for the star of Con Air, the employee left zero space for important things such as computers and printers. In her mind though, nothing was more important than “Stanley Goodspeed” himself.

Millions of offices around the world faced the same problem when Season 7 of HBO’s Game of Thrones aired last year.

With the popular show being the source of such intense debates amongst a number of work colleagues, there are some fans who simply can’t find the time to watch an episode the night that it airs. This creates an extremely tense environment in the office. In order to avoid the spoilers at all costs, the person attempts to block out discussions by listening to music and sticking posters like this around the office.

Many offices have special days to add a little fun to their everyday routine. Some have “bring your kid to work day,” while many offices allow workers to dress up to work on Halloween.

However, there is one company that, for whatever reason, made everyone dress up as dinosaurs to work. Furthermore, it wasn’t just one day that the workers were required to wear prehistoric costumes. It turns out that this is a strict dress code that the company enforced after the reboot of Jurassic Park.

More often than not, when it comes to a communal fridge in the office, it’s like the wild west. Storage space for food is a toxic wasteland where it’s every man for himself.

If you don’t put your name on your food item, it’s bound to get stolen. So when one person refused to share their milk with the rest of the company, they went one step further – they put a padlock on the bottle top. Now we’ve seen everything.

When it comes to working in an office, it makes sense to make your workspace as homely as possible. Adding some family photos and home comforts goes a long way.

In fact, it has been known to improve work ethic. However, this particular member of staff chose to take this concept to another level, building his own makeshift home. While you can see the exterior of the house, it’s amazing that this guy was able to include a bed, a sofa, a TV and a dining table.

When it comes to working in an office, one needs to have excellent time management skills if they are going to hold down their position in the company.

So when this member of staff set up his office timetable, he pretty much got all the important times locked down. These included coffee breaks, checking e-mails, lunch, and even preparing for lunch. However, after a couple of years at the company, the boss realized that they missed something out of the timetable – time for work.

No matter how high up someone might be in their respective company, they still might not be able to get rid of their inner child.

Take this guy, for example, who has covered his office space with some kid-friendly walls and a pit full of balls. There are two potential reasons why this guy chose to add such an elaborate feature to his area of the office. Either, he just wants to add some fun to his life, or the balls are there to break his fall.

He never thought he’d be asking such a bizarre question. At any rate, though, this guy found a runover cat on his office floor and found it kind of amusing.

He didn’t really understand how an animated cat could have escaped the confines of South Park, made its way into his office, and got run over in his cubicle. However, if you’ve seen movies such as Space Jam or Who Framed Roger Rabbit, you’ll know that this type of phenomenon is possible.

Is it just this office or do all rooms with programmers have weird, unnecessary rules taped onto their doors?

Apparently, this group of programmers is extremely sensitive and needs peace and quiet at all hours of the working day. To be honest, if someone walked slowly into our office and started singing “Ave Maria,” that would definitely scare the living daylights out of us. Maybe it’s because we’re writers and not programmers. Different industries breed different fears? Perhaps.

When it comes to office life, you’d think that everyone would have the freedom to post announcements on the notice board with little trouble.

However, this office has changed the game completely, only allowing for managerial posts. Just remember, though, it’s M-A-N-A-G-E-R, not the birthplace of Jesus Christ. If you have the smallest of typos, you can expect a torrent of abuse from co-workers and there’s a chance that they’ll never live this moment down. People don’t forget this kind of stuff!

What is office life without a bit of fooling around from time to time? In this day and age, where technology is pretty much at the forefront of activity in any office, it’s normal for staff to have group texts to give group alerts and important information in regards to the company.

It is also a platform to post photos like this one. One day, this guy got out of bed, rode his bike to work, and thought, “I feel like a hippo today.”

Ever heard of that experiment where you put a child in a room with just a box? You tell them not to open the box, not to even touch it, in exchange for some sort of reward.

You walk out of the room and watch them through some form of surveillance. Studies have shown that more often than not, the child will open the box. The same applies in the office. If you tell co-workers not to touch your coffee cup, the chances are, they will.

In office cubicles, one has the creative license the decorate in a variety of ways. Usually, workers adorn their desks with photos of loved ones, personal interests, and gifts.

However, never in our lives have we found a cubicle that was converted into a garden. Is this some kind of technological advancement where the worker has invented a self-sufficient keyboard with keys made out of mushrooms? From this angle, it simply looks like an obstacle.

In office life, you need a guy for virtually everything. Some people have a guy who can get you donuts, others have a guy who can get you into the work fantasy football league.

Apparently, in this company, there is a burger guy. Not only does he sell cheeseburgers for a good price, but he also makes his own fries and has plenty of tasty beverages to wash down that delicious In-N-Out burger. Work has never tasted so good.

In all our months spent researching office life, out of all the bizarre public announcements, notices, and messages – we have never seen something quite as pointless as this.

Listen, guy, there are actual cat owners out there who have lost their little furballs, and are posting real missing posters around town. If you really want to waste people’s time at work, why not bring your cat to work, introduce her to the staff, and let us play with the little cutie?

It appears that The Riddler has a part-time position at this particular company. However, he’s only in the office once a week, and he comes in each week dressed in a different costume, so no one actually knows who he is.

As a result, The Riddler found the perfect opportunity for some dessert when he came across a work colleague’s delectable toaster strudel. As a result, the people of Gotham called up Batman to crack down on all the toaster strudels that were being stolen throughout the city.

In office life, everything can be so meticulously planned, from induction days and training periods to the miles of red tape that employees need to maneuver around.

Office standards can be incredibly difficult to maintain. However, when a fire occurs (God forbid), or a security hazard forces the entire building to evacuate, it’s easy to ignore the standard evacuation plan ordained by the company. All you need to really do is get off your seat, run, and get out of the office ASAP!

While some offices give a cubicle to each worker, some offices apparently give each worker an entire bathroom. Or maybe we misinterpreted that.

In fact, we got a private message confirming that it was actually a guy called Ben who claimed the public bathroom as his own. Because he left such a mess every time he went to do his business, his co-workers didn’t seem to mind him taking ownership. Instead, they went to the office next door and used their bathroom.

Wouldn’t that be awesome if all public services could be voice-activated? Of course, this wouldn’t work with everything.

Some machines such as ATMs wouldn’t benefit from being voice-activated. However, we can imagine people sharing a bathroom and having a little chuckle every time someone said to the hand dryer “paper towel, please!” Apparently, though, the machine is also motion activated if you read the small print. So which one is it, exactly? It can’t be both.

There’s nothing more frustrating than a co-worker who can’t follow simple instructions, no matter how obvious they may seem.

As you can see, the person who put this public notice up clearly instructed his co-workers not to press any of the buttons on his machine. However, just because you can’t find him for assistance, doesn’t mean you have the God-given right to start pressing buttons! What if that machine in question was explosive?! Just because something has buttons doesn’t mean you should press it.

In law, if you choose to overrule something, it is most likely because you are of superior authority to the person who imposed the first rule.

In fact, it’s always the case. However, one employee who had only been working at the office for a week had the audacity to overrule someone above him who specifically told his co-workers to ask him for permission to use his creamer. If he finds out that the person who overruled him is a newbie, then we’re praying for him.

What’s worse than spiders? That’s right, a spider you caught, but ended up escaping! The last thing an office wants is a tarantula hiding around the cubicles.

That is the kind of office guest you never want. And that’s exactly what happened when one arachnophobe took one for the team a trapped a “huge aggressive spider” with a paper cup. However, upon lifting the cup to double-check, the co-workers noticed a message on the inside that said “Happy April Fools Suckers!”

If there is one recurring issue that every office seems to face from time to time, it is a large group of people sharing the same bathroom.

Although there isn’t a universal code for toilet etiquette, there are some basic rules. Rule number one? Flush the toilet when you’re done. Because so many workers weren’t following such a basic rule, someone put up a note, reminding users to “check if you flushed.” However, the workers read this in literal terms, and actually “checked” the sheet.

Another issue that is prevalent in the office is dealing with other people’s tastes in food. However, when you work in a newsroom, with many people in the same room, you are bound to smell other people’s meals from time to time.

So when one “passive-aggressive co-worker” put up this note of complaint, the ketchup culprit fought fire with fire, or should we say, ketchup. Look, the writer of this note must see the funny side of it.

When the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers sent a joint application to the same company, the CEO simply couldn’t turn down this awesome opportunity.

How many companies (other than Disney and a couple of film studios) can brag about having a group of superheroes in their ranks? After hiring the black, green, red, yellow and blue ranger, the company saw a great opportunity to build working ties with the gang’s powerful mentor, Zordon. So they let the Power Rangers schedule a conference call.

When it comes to one’s personal space in an office, you generally have carte blanche to decorate it as you wish.

It is perfectly normal to see people adorn their desks with family photos and objects that signify their personal interests. However, we have never come across an office space belonging to someone who was so passionate about cats. We get it; if you have a cat (or two) then we won’t blame you for having a photo of them by your computer. But this person is feline-obsessed!

You know the phrase “sharing is caring,” right? Well, there are definitely some times when this rule simply doesn’t apply.

Like, when someone takes a bite out of the office pizza and decides that someone else can have the rest. Listen, guy, no one wants to carry on eating what you already sank your teeth into! The next time we order pizza for the office, you eat an entire piece or no piece at all. Understand?

Confidence is always a good thing, right? Well, confidence is great if you are actually right about the thing you’re confident in. If you’re wrong, not so much. That said, there are some people who are so confident in incorrect knowledge, that we still feel a little impressed by them. These are those people from the internet: absolutely wrong, but very confident that they are right.

There’s a certain level of extreme stupidity that goes with the confidence of someone who would argue with an expert. Even worse, not just arguing with an expert, but arguing with someone who actually did the thing you are fighting about.

It would be like trying to correct Buzz Aldrin about the details of the mission to the Moon. Who would have the gall and the foolhardy confidence to do that?

A lot of people don’t know where their products are really made. And yet, they will speak with great confidence about it, especially if they are trying to condemn something. Tesla is one such misunderstood company.

For anyone who confuses the Tesla cars with the historical Tesla, there is no relation. Yes, Tesla is an American company, making American cars. Just keep that in mind when talking about foreign vehicles.

There are certain people you shouldn’t argue with: namely, people that are experts at what they do. Seriously, who is going to try and correct Stephen King of all people in regards to spelling? The confidence there is through the roof.

Of course, it was entirely misplaced confidence, but that is kind of the point of this article isn’t it? Don’t worry, it gets a whole lot worse!

Lots of people have confidence in historical knowledge that is absolutely wrong. This person is just one of them, though it’s pretty amusing just how confident they are in something so laughably mistaken.

Remember, it’s always worse to be wrong about your own history, as opposed to the history of other people. You really don’t have any excuse for not knowing your own history.

A lot of confidence involves someone making a totally blind assumption about things they don’t really know about. For instance, assuming John Boyega is a rapper, for reasons that are probably subliminally racist at best.

At least the guy admitted to his stupid assumption, but that doesn’t make it any less of an eye-roller, now does it? People on the internet should always fact-check what they are going to say before posting it.

Correcting the misused words of other people on the internet is a time-honored tradition that everyone does. Most people are pretty confident about it, but that backfires horribly if you don’t know what you are talking about. Case in point, this guy right here.

We imagine that there was a lot of backlash for this misplaced confidence, but that’s what you get when you try to mistakenly correct someone else in the first place.

There are plenty of people out there that don’t really know how the food chain works. But few people have such great confidence in something as stupid as this. Why do we need crops if people buy food at the grocery store?

Such a stupid question can only be asked by someone with misplaced confidence in their knowledge. No one else would be willing to make themselves look that stupid in front of the world.

Some people have great confidence in their geographical skills. However, most of them are wrong. In this example, we have a fellow who doesn’t really know what all is included in North America.

Remember people, the country came after the continent. There are several countries that are part of North America, and that includes both Canada and Mexico.

We’re going to ignore the stupidity that is claiming a relation between misogyny and eating meat (do women just not eat meat now?). Instead, we’re going to focus on the bigger problem here, that being the assumption that cows are being consumed when you eat yogurt.

What, did they think that yogurt is ground up cows, or something? Do they know that a mammal has to be female in order to produce milk? So many things are wrong here.

Oftentimes, people with great confidence just don’t stop to think about what they have said. For instance, Roman numerals aren’t letters. Wait a minute…

Yeah, if you just thought about that statement for more than two seconds, it would be obvious that something doesn’t add up. But very few people actually do that, as far as the internet is concerned.

Americans just can’t stand the idea of using the metric system. But if they all have the misplaced confidence of this guy, we can understand why. Not understanding the metric system might be a good reason to not use it.

Just so everyone knows, a mile is in fact longer than a kilometer. In fact, it’s almost twice as long, give or take a little distance. What’s funny is the fact that this guy on the internet got the conversion right, but failed to understand what the conversion meant.

A lot of people confuse ethnicity and nationality. They are two different things, and Europe is an easy way to understand them. People that are descended from European people all have European ethnicity, but they may be French, German, British: all of which are still European.

Yes, even Britain. Separated from mainland Europe it may be, but that doesn’t change which continent it belongs to, and the European Union has nothing to do with it.

There’s really not much to say here, because it’s obvious where the misplaced confidence is: it’s just someone who has no clue what they are talking about. Well, maybe they just made a mix up.

Either way, we imagine a lot of people raised their eyebrows when they read this during whatever argument was being had. How could you even mix up such important wars like that?

Apparently, there is a great deal of misplaced confidence regarding the United Kingdom and its place in the world. There are a lot of people that seem to be confused about what counts as the UK, and whether or not it counts as Europe as a whole.

To be fair, we’ll cut a little slack here: the United Kingdom is a pretty confusing body, especially considering the difference between the UK, Great Britain, and England. They don’t all describe the same thing!

Here, we once again have someone who has an issue with the non-American measurement systems. We’re inclined to be somewhat lenient with them though, since the difference between Fahrenheit and Celsius is kind of weird.

Really, why do Americans pick such weird numbers for their measurements? Why go with 212 when you can settle for a simple 100? Then again, it doesn’t matter when you don’t know the temperature for boiling water in the first place.

You may assume the first person in this exchange is wrong, depending on whether or not you think the orange was named after the color, and not vice versa. But the real problem is the second person, thinking that star is a color.

What color would star be? White? Yellow? Blue? There’s a surprising number of colors that real stars can be, if we are talking about the ones you find in space.

2020 may only come around once in history (ignoring 2020 BC, we suppose), but there’s a bunch of other things wrong with the picture and statement below. We don’t know how someone said this in confidence without realizing it.

The thing is, 8:20 PM comes around, you know, every single day. So that kind of ruins the whole “once in history” thing they are trying to pull off here. Well, better luck next time.

Lots of people try to correct others about Frankenstein with great confidence. Usually, they are right since a lot of people assume Frankenstein is the monster, when it is actually the doctor that built him.

But in regards to this particular joke, the guy trying to make a correction is still wrong, and the person who made the joke in the first place clearly knew what they were talking about.

There are ways to try and end an argument without conceding that you were wrong about the argument itself. It takes a degree of confidence, usually of the misplaced variety.

The guy trying to save face in his exit is absolutely wrong, trying to say that he doesn’t agree with cold hard facts. A lot of people have a tendency to disregard factual information if it doesn’t line up with what they were saying.

Nine times out of ten, if someone bases their knowledge and beliefs on a movie by Disney, you can assume they are wrong about things. Confident, but wrong. This is especially true when it comes to mythology.

Seriously, read a book if you want to get some slightly more accurate info about the past. Trusting a movie probably isn’t a good idea if you don’t want to look like an idiot.

Math is a hard subject. But that’s alright if you know you aren’t that good at it. It’s the people who are confident in their terrible math skills that are more deplorable. Of course, we’re not even sure how people do math like this.

You add the eight to the year the person was born in, which makes them eighteen? Wait, that doesn’t make any sense. This isn’t even a loophole if you were intending it to be one!

Now, we can understand why one would assume that this post about a homeless muppet would be wrong, considering the point they made about Oscar the Grouch. He lives in a trashcan, right?

Well, Oscar the Grouch chose to live in a trash can of his own free will, which makes that trashcan his home. So is he really homeless, or does he just have a very weird sense of shelter?

Far be it from the media to get their facts right all the time. In fact, they tend to get it wrong more often than not. But being confident in incorrect info tends to make you look like an idiot. Case in point, this right here.

Talk about looking stupid in front of the whole internet. Maybe he got lucky and few people actually saw it, though we doubt that. He was probably blasted pretty hard, though we can’t say he didn’t deserve it.

There are a lot of people that are both confident and wrong about vaccines. Usually, they are just missing a bunch of information or refuse to acknowledge it. But this really goes to an entirely new extreme.

If you are going to try and badmouth a certain field of technology or science, you should at least know what you are talking about before you do that. Otherwise, no one is going to consider whatever you had to say in the first place.

Let’s be real: neither of these guys is actually correct about what capitalism and communism are. However, there is a good point coming from the third responder. If the thing they are talking about happened in a capitalist society, then is it not an example of living under capitalism?

We suppose you could argue the point a little further, but we’d hardly say it’s like living under communism if it happened in a non-communist environment.

We’re actually willing to cut a little slack on this confidence, primarily because few people actually know that there is a country called Georgia, just like the state. Still, that doesn’t change how wrong the confidence in this answer is.

Maybe this confusion explains their misunderstanding of things in America. A little bit of research goes a long way, especially if something doesn’t make sense at first!

Ben Shapiro isn’t exactly the kind of person one should look to for correct information. But if you are looking for an example of confidence in all the wrong places, he is a great person to take into consideration.

Needless to say, what he is saying here about renewable energy is completely wrong. That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works!

Remember when Animal Planet talked more about animals and less about humans? Yeah, if they were still doing that, maybe people wouldn’t say things like this. Dolphins are in fact mammals: they breathe air with lungs, just like we do.

That said, dolphins do look a lot like fish, so we’re willing to give people the slightest bit of slack for having confidence in calling them fish. It’s still wrong though.

We’re not even sure what to say about this one. Make no mistake, it’s ridiculously funny. But the amount of confidence that could go into a statement this wrong, it just can’t be fathomed.

We can’t imagine how hard the girlfriend laughed when she had to explain this to him. We just hope no one got too offended by his blasphemy. It was just an honest mistake, guys!

This meme is actually really funny (and gives us Ark or Minecraft flashbacks), but unfortunately, it’s also backward. 6001 BC would be before 6000 BC, not after. Remember, you count down while in BC, then count up in AD.

There’s no denying that they were wrong, but whatever, right? At least it wasn’t someone saying something stupid, which would have been easier to mock. This was just someone a little confused about how things work.

Not trusting big corporations is something many people do. However, most of them know how to avoid those big corporations. This person has great confidence in avoiding Microsoft and its products, but also uses Windows and owns an Xbox.

Needless to say, there’s a bit of a disconnect there. Have they never bothered using Google to find out who owns those things?

We get what Trader Joe’s is trying to do here, but unfortunately, they have completely missed the point of their own example. They are literally describing a middleman while talking about removing the middleman!

We’re not sure who actually approved this sign, but we’re not sure if they bear all the blame for it. Doesn’t this kind of thing usually go through a bunch of people before it is approved?

The confidence in this statement is pretty laughable. Votes have never been counted after election day? But… how do you know who won, then? We’re honestly just curious how this guy believes the election actually works.

Like, do they have to count every single vote on election day? Are any votes after that day just thrown in the blender? How do they think the process works if you can’t count the votes after election day?

We’re not trying to stereotype here, but if there’s one thing that appears to be true, it’s that most men speaking with confidence on the female body are wrong. Not all of them, but we’d take any assessment of the female body made by the average man with a grain of salt.

They aren’t all like this, but then again, you don’t hear stories about things being right, because where’s the fun in that? Confident correctness doesn’t make anyone laugh.

We’re not trying to make any sort of political statement here. However, there’s no denying that the president is a great example of someone who has often spoken with confidence while being wrong about the things he’s talking about.

This one is pretty embarrassing since it’s not that hard to learn a little bit of history about your own country. Well, not everyone does research on the things they are going to say, even when they definitely should.

There’s a lot of things wrong with this image, and the text therein. Namely, this comparison between diamonds and any other object in the universe. We have to give kudos to the confidence with which it was said, but grams are grams. They don’t change based on the item in question.

One gram of diamonds is the exact same weight as one gram of feathers. There’s a saying in there somewhere, but it’s better to just know that it is true.

The math here seems pretty straightforward at a glance: just add the two percentages, right? Well no, that’s not at all how it works. Feel free to show your confidence with that simple addition though. Maybe you won’t be crucified too harshly by the court of public opinion.

Honestly, this is why fewer people should speak up on the internet. Few of them even understand how much of their reputation they are really risking.

You’ve probably noticed by now that a lot of the misplaced confidence in this article revolves around math. It’s a hard subject, but some people fail to understand even its simpler aspects. How is 18oz 50% more than 12oz? Because it just is?

50% of 12oz is 6oz. Just add it to the 12 and you get 18. It’s pretty simple math, and if you don’t get it, you may just come across as looking like an idiot.

Speaking of people being confidently wrong about math, there’s this right here. We don’t know how accurate all those “nine out of ten dentists” claims are, but we’re pretty sure they are more accurate than the math going on right here.

Of course, that’s a pretty low bar to clear. Maybe we should rank which of the math-based follies on this list was most ridiculous? They’re all pretty bad.

You guessed it, here’s another math-related one. Frankly, math seems to be one of the things people have the most confidence in while being the most mistaken. This example is particularly egregious, however.

We can’t imagine the person who made this statement was actually in their right mind when they said it, but you never know. They could just be extremely, especially misinformed. That happens a lot.

Sharing a habitat with large predators can not only be difficult, it can sometimes be deadly. This fear, when combined with a subpar knowledge of basic biology, can result in some seriously face-palm inducing social media posts.

This poster would like to “extinct crocodiles” because they make outdoor activities harder. Little do they know that crocodiles, like all predators, play an important role in ecosystems. Thankfully a commenter was able to dish out a quick lesson on ecology, let’s hope it sticks!

Most parents try to instill confidence in their children by assuring them that with hard work, anything is possible. While this belief system can help teach the importance of hard work and perseverance, this poster took this belief to a new level – claiming anyone is capable of earning an Olympic gold medal.

It seems that this commenter hasn’t evolved past the belief that anything is possible with hard work. While putting the hours in is important, most people would argue that certain talents or skill just can’t be achieved by putting “the work on”.

Most people associate Ikea with meatballs and affordable furniture, but for one social media user, the Scandinavian furniture store is a downright threat to America. This poster was so confident in his knowledge of laws regarding flags, that he actually wrote on Ikea’s official social media page to correct them.

Luckily, not only does Ikea know the laws of design, they also know their laws regarding flags. The company quickly cited the United State’s official code on flag flying, putting this supposed flag expert in his place.

Insulting someone by calling them a name is widely considered to be a childish way to deal with a problem. Not knowing how to spell the very word you want to insult someone with can be even more embarrassing.

Not only does this foul-mouthed poster not know how to spell the word “loser”, but they are so confident in their spelling ability that they even double down and misspell it one letter at a time. Needless to say, the only one who came out the “looser” in this fight, was the poster.

The English language can be tricky – many words sound similar, even though they have completely different meanings. For example, the word cantaloupe – usually used to describe a sweet melon with orange flesh, is not to be confused with a hasty and secretive marriage ceremony.

This hilarious spelling mistake, caught by a Twitter user, had many people thinking that some people should stick to working in produce, and not marketing. While store patrons may never know why two melons can’t elope, at least they got a laugh.

It has become common knowledge that most social media posts that mention the phrase “educate yourself” will typically include an overly confident poster sharing an often hilariously incorrect fact. This post is no exception – the commenter believes that Afrikaans is not a real language and that the original post mistakenly referred to a made-up language spoken by the entire continent of Africa.

In reality, Afrikaans is the third most spoken language in South Africa and is even spoken in countries like Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Let’s hope the commenter hits the books before commenting again.

Given that there are so many resources to learn about the natural world, it is always interesting to hear someone espouse so many incorrect opinions with such confidence. This poster has come up with a completely unique (and wrong) explanation regarding the animal kingdom.

The poster does not seem to understand that animals such as pigs and cows are actually the domesticated members of certain animal families which have roamed the earth for millions of years. Here’s hoping this poster picks up a biology book, or two.

This poster begins his social media rant by suggesting that people should be incarcerated for sharing scientific information. Why seek scientific knowledge from planetary scientists, when overly confident social media users exist?

This mistaken moon expert claims that the moon glows. In reality, the moon does not produce its own light. Instead, that “glow” that we see is actually the reflection of the Sun’s light. This brightness can change depending on where the Moon is in its orbit around planet Earth. Unfortunately, while the Moon may be bright, the same cannot be said for this poster.

It is often said that everything is bigger in Texas, but just how big is Texas? Well, according to this social media poster, the Lone Star state is bigger than the entire continent of Europe. Is this overly confident Texan right?

According to most statistics, the European continent spans across 3,930,000 square miles while Texas covers about 268,597 square miles. To the poster’s credit- many smaller European states and countries could easily fit inside a land area the size of Texas.

Social media has an interesting way of making people believe that they are suddenly experts in a subject, often without having ever formally studied said subject. According to the poster, viruses cannot be passed onto other people.

Strangely enough, the same poster was put into isolation – does he understand why he needed to be isolated? We’re guessing not. Oh, and quinces are a type of fruit, not viruses. Quinsy is a type of abscess caused by an infection behind the tonsil.

Speaking of misplaced confidence about the United Kingdom and locations surrounding it, here’s literally another one! Seriously, we want to know how many people are confused about this stuff, and where they all live. Are these Americans? Europeans?

Maybe it’s someone else entirely, but apparently, someone needs to make an easy-to-read graph that breaks down everything around the island and all the countries that are a part of it or near it.

There’s not much we actually have to say here, all things considered. We don’t want to be those guys that speak ill of an entire group of people, but Flat Earthers… they really are something else entirely. Something almost impossible to comprehend.

On the other hand, they take the cake for being the type of people who have the most confidence in the most egregiously incorrect things in the world.

Oddly enough, a lot of people are actually quite confused about the origin of pizza. Contrary to popular belief, it did not come from Italy, despite being heavily associated with the country and its people.

There’s actually a lot of food like that. French Fries aren’t French, and fortune cookies aren’t Chinese. We’re not sure why Americans like to pretend that such things come from other places. Is it just the name?

Speaking of Flat Earthers, now we get to talk about the confidence they have in water mountains! Seriously, what the heck are water mountains? We’re not even sure which aspect of the ocean they are referring to. Waves? Natural curvature?

We’re not sure one way or another, but regardless of what they are talking about, we can say with absolute certainty that it is wrong. About as wrong as you can possibly get.

We honestly don’t know what the heck is being said in this social media post. It makes no sense to us at all. What we do know is that someone here has an extreme amount of confidence in the crazy stuff they are saying.

Whatever your stance on the chicken and egg debate, we’re certain that this assessment is incorrect. It’s befuddling just to read the darn thing, never mind trying to actually make sense of it.
