People Who Made Us Dumber Just By Existing

Something people need to understand is that not everyone is as smart as you. Also, be aware that common sense isn't so common. Equipped with that knowledge, it shouldn't come as a surprise when people do or say things that aren't so intelligent. The people on this list are proof of that.

Little Does He Know...

They've had our faces since before driver's licenses as well. This man has no clue how much power the government has!

Thankfully, this lady replied to him to let him know that he isn't that smart for not using facial recognition.

Here's a man who has more determination than he should. He knew all along that couch wouldn't fit in the back of the car.

Now, everyone on the street can see him attempt this. It's a bit sad but also funny. He had better call a pickup truck.

This is why sometimes you can't even trust the people close to you. They won't even help you in your time of need.

There's no information on whether this is the snake's owner or someone who wanted to hold the snake. In any case, one shouldn't get so friendly with a wild animal.

If this was the snake's owner, that person should've known better or realized when the grip was getting too tight.
