Everyone has said something stupid at some point in their life, even if they don’t want to admit it. While we hope the person we were talking to quickly forgot our foolishness, BuzzFeed readers have us thinking we don’t get off so easily. They’re sharing the dumbest thing they’ve ever heard someone say, and these may make you feel better about your own stupid comment, or leave you horrified for humanity.

These are some of the wildest, almost unbelievable responses:

• "A co-worker of mine asked, 'Where do chicken eggs come from?' She was serious!"
• "My ex thought that drinking soy milk could change his sexuality."
• "Somebody asked if it's safe to sit next to me now that I have cancer, because his wife is pregnant and he doesn't want her to catch it."
• "A man I know was put on a low/no-sodium diet by his doctor. When I noticed he was putting salt on his food, he said, 'Oh, this is okay. It's sea salt. It's good for you.'"
• "A friend of mine wanted to know why pink lemons were never sold in grocery stores. They concluded that the recipe for pink lemonade was so secretive, our government was using it to take over our minds."
• "I had someone tell me to be sure I squished all the air out of a produce bag, or I’d be charged more."
• "I had two teenage girls tell me that 'Bohemian Rhapsody' was done twice, once by Queen and once by Freddie Mercury. I wanted to bonk their heads together."
• "My friend once asked someone how long they have been Dutch."
• "My roommate and I are both American. When she asked where I was moving in Canada, I told her British Columbia, and she asked which side that was on. I told her the Pacific. Her response? 'Is that the right or the left? Geometry was never my best subject.'"
• "I once had a high school student tell me that I didn't know anything about trees because I had grown up in California, 'where there are no trees.'"
• "My daughter, age 45 and a college graduate, asked me which side won the Civil War."
• "I had a friend who thought that the windmills in Palm Springs were giant fans to help cool down the desert."
• "A girl asked me and my IDENTICAL twin sister if we knew we looked alike."
