9. "I was at a party in Boston with Americans, Australians, and Brits. I was in a mixed group talking when another American asked the Australian what language he spoke. I just closed my eyes, shook my head, and later on I apologized to the guy on America's behalf."

13. "Years ago, the movie theaters in our area marked the 100th anniversary of the Titanic by showing the movie. I had just started dating this guy, and we went to see the movie. At the end, when I'm visibly in tears, he says, 'It's okay, it was just a movie. It's not like it really happened.' He was a grown ass adult man and had never heard of the Titanic??? Needless to say, it was our last date."

14. "A coworker from a receptionist job I had a few years ago knew that I spoke Spanish, because once I had to schedule someone who didn't speak any English. One day, I casually mentioned that I was trying to go to South Korea and was excited about it. She was quiet for a moment and then turned to me and said, 'Ohhh because they speak Spanish in South Korea.' I just looked at her like??? No???"

15. "A few years ago, my brother-in-law was talking about how he was doing landscaping work for some rich woman in the late '90s. He said she had an original Van Gogh that she bought for 'like 5,000 Euros.' Because euros weren't a thing in the '90s, I asked which country she bought it in. My BIL said, 'Europe.' My husband just stared at him and was like, 'You know Europe isn't one big country right?'"

16. "Once made tea for a friend who asked for a spoon to stir with, so I put the spoon in the teacup and handed it to her. She proceeded to take a sip with the spoon still in the cup and then yell, 'WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?!?!' when the spoon hit her face after she tilted the cup back to drink from it. I got a real shocked Pikachu face from her when I pointed out that she could have easily removed the spoon from the cup herself prior to taking a drink."

17. "I was sitting in the passenger's seat while my friend drove. He looks at the car next to us, the driver had both hands on the wheel. My friend said, 'Ten and two!' I look and the driver has both hands on the bottom of the steering wheel and say, 'That's not ten and two.' He says, 'Yes it is! Two hands, ten fingers!'"

18. "My ex kept asking me to buy a tea kettle because he wanted to bring tea on his commute to work. We were broke at the time, so I told him to make tea using a regular pot, like I did. He was floored, like, 'Whaaaat? You can make tea in a pot?!' I said, 'Yeah, you just boil the water like you would in a kettle, then make tea with it?' He was excited to learn this information. The next morning, he went off to work. I got up later and came out to the kitchen, where I found an ENORMOUS soup pot on the stove with 12 tea bags hanging down into it. The kicker? There was sugar and cream around the rim."
