38 Reddit Facepalm Stories That Will Make You Question Reality
Explore 38 real-life Reddit facepalm stories where common sense was nowhere to be found. From animal surrender fails to customer service nightmares.
Ever met someone who thought potatoes came from cows? Reddit users are sharing their most jaw-dropping encounters with people who seem to have misplaced their common sense. Whether it's a deliberate act of ignorance or an accidental lapse in logic, these stories serve as a stark reminder that reality is often weirder than fiction.
Reddit Facepalm Stories: From Education to Customer Service
One of the most baffling accounts involves a high school student in the UK who believed both Britain and France were located inside America. When asked about the USA, he simply didn't believe it was a real place. This wasn't a young child, but a Year 9 student (around 13-14 years old). Similarly, a woman surrendered an 8-week-oldRottweiler puppy because she 'didn't realize it would get that big.'
Customer service isn't immune to these 'Are you kidding me?' moments. A G2A representative refused a refund because the customer 'looked at the key' they purchased. In another instance, a hotel manager insisted a guest couldn't spell their own last name and forcibly changed it in the system to what he believed was the 'correct' version.
