What's the stupidest thing you ever believed?

[addicted_to_WDW]

One of my coworkers told me that the Amish use human waste as fertilizer. I totally believed it until he practically fell on the ground in hysterics. Of course, he had to tell everyone else about it as well.

C'mon, I'm not the only one to fall for something stupid...

[ratsrule]

What's the stupidest thing you ever believed?
That everyone on the DIS is treated fairly :(

[December99]

That someday I will be tall!!!!

[MosMom]

That when I turned 21 my freckles would dissapear. I'm 27 and I think I have MORE. *sigh*

[EROS]

That GOD "looks after" mankind :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ...........

Of course, it may be that the BIG GUY is just vacationing in the South Pacific when tragedies strike us :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: ...........

[markshaw]

I'm sure that there's something that believed but can't think of it but I did have someone believeing for a long time that I could type with my toes!

[ripleysmom]

That my best friend in high school was my friend.

[caitycaity]

[Jenzebelle]

That Math was easy

[EROS]

INDYMAN, there's a MUCH BETTER chance that the SOX will win a World Series than GOD will show some muscle in combating suffering, hunger, and despair..;) ;) ;)

[ratsrule]

EROS,,
Nice way to hijack a thread

[damo]

That guerillas were gorillas.

[Pam]

Actually, addicted_to_WDW, there's a man that lives around 20 miles from me who practices totally organic farming and wrote a book about using his family's "waste" as fertilizer. I am totally serious here - 100% telling the truth!!

The #1 thing at I was gullible enough to believe - "Everyone gets their just due in time."

I'm still waiting to see the results of that one.:( :rolleyes:

[WDW2002]

Believing in on line love... :rolleyes:

[Mickeyfaniam]

that my son finished all his homework :rolleyes:

:teeth:

[swanmom]

As a middle school kid, about 12 years old, my friends convinced me that stop signs with white lines around the edge were 'optional.' I'm embarrassed to say that it was several weeks later that I realized that they ALL have white lines! :rolleyes:

[Girls Scout Leader]

Damo: do you remember that Kurt Russell movie "Captain Ron"? He told them that there were guerillas in the area, and they made fon of him saying he must have rode Pirates of the Carribean too many times. They thought he spoke of gorillas. Boy, were they surprised when they were held hostage by GUERILLAS!!

:rolleyes:

[oldkicker]

Once, my mother put some jello in the fridge to set.

Then she left.

I drank it.

My little sister tld me it would set in my stomach and I'd have a bowl shaped tummy. That worried me for a couple of days....

[honeywolf7]

that I could get Thom to change if I just tried hard enough

[markshaw]

One time my niece and I were going through Chattanooga and she said that she was going to swim across the Tennessee River and I told her she couldn't because there were piranhas in there. I didn't think that she believed me until a couple weeks later when she came home from school and told me that her teacher was talking about the fact that piranhas are only in the Amazon and my niece spoke up and told her "na uh they're in the Tennessee River too because my aunt said so". Oops......I didn't think she believed me.

[d.kurz]

I used to believe that if you're at a full stop in a car, and someone crashes into you, their insurance will pay for your damages. HA!

[catsrule]

When I was little, about 7 or 8, a friend told me that spirits can come out of the water faucet. So when I took a bath, I stuffed toilet paper up the water spout so they couldn't get me.:teeth:

[Princess_Aurora]

DH had me convinced once that when you flush a toilet on an airplane the waste goes outside and falls from the sky. The only reason you don't notice it is because it evaporates in the atomosphere or something like that. I believed it for quite a while too :rolleyes:

He also got me a second time. We were looking at tvs one day and he told me that Toshiba meant a four letter curse word starting with an s in Japaneese. I was believing him too until he burst out laughing :rolleyes:

[BuzzMe]

It's against the law to remove the tags from pillows, furniture cushions, etc.;)

[adamak]

Santa Claus.
Cellulite cream.
Live happily ever after. *

*Not that I'm complaining about my DH. But boy, marriage is tough! Work is tough! Doing laundry is tough! You never see that in Cinderella the movie.

[anniet]

That hard work was all that was needed to get ahead and to be rewarded with life's little necesseties like a nice home..... HAH, not in this market!!!!!!!!!!

[Lars624]

I'm pretty gullible, but right now nothing is popping in to my mind except one about a high school friend of mine. Just before we started driver's ed she told me that no matter what she couldn't get lost once she started driving because whatever way you're facing is north.:eek:

[TigH]

That a website I used to work for was going to rake in millions of dollars and one day I would be greatly compensated for all the work I put into it. Yeah, right! :rolleyes:

[Bob O]

When i was young and naive i actually thought liberals were trying to help people out of tyhere plight.
But of course once i was able to grasp things better i realized the policies only keep the poor in their smae plight as a crass attempt to gather votes form the uneducated and oprah crowd!!

[Nikki_Nikki]

As embarrassing as it is to say...
A few years ago (when I was around 18) my parents and I went to visit my uncle who owned a ranch or farm or whatever you call it. Anyways, they all convinced me that brown cows is where chocolate milk came from and white cows is where white milk came from. They kept it going all weekend... I'm still hearing about that one!

[supercarrie]

When I was 6 or 7 my brother and now sister-in-law convinced me that Disney stored nuclear weapons at DL. :rolleyes: I forget all the details of how they convinced me, but I remember freaking out and crying until my mom came home and told me that what they said wasn't true. I shouldn't even have known what nuclear weapons were at that age, IMO. They also told me that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen and placed inside the statue of him and Mickey at DL. :rolleyes:

[Tiggerlover91]

THAT YELLOW AND BLUE MAKE GREEN!! Stupid ZIPLOC commercial!! :rolleyes:

[Pin Wizard]

That school administrators would have the best interest of the kids as the number one priority. :rolleyes:

[Indyman]

I was once told that women were easy to understand. HAH!!

[goofygirl]

That Walt Disney was frozen!


That Clinton "did not have sex with THAT WOMAN." I actually thought HE was telling the truth, and SHE was the liar until this was proven otherwise!

[Robinrs]

I used to be an atheist so that tells you how stupid I WAS...

I also used to believe that merit, education and knowledge would make you a successful person... :rolleyes: NOT!

[Rock'n Robin]

Have you ever seen a painting called "The Man in the Golden Helmet"? I think it's Rembrandt but I'm not sure. Anyhow, my grandpa said it was him in the painting when I was little. When I was about 9 and noticed it in my friend's house as well, I asked her mom why she had a painting of my grandpa!
Robin M.

[Kteacher]

These are great! When I was little my older sister told me that Friskies cat food tasted like chocolate ( I can still hear her saying to me- " go ahead, try some ":rolleyes: ). I'm still gullible enough to believe all the claims the cosmetic companies make- and I have drawers full of stuff that for some reason didn't make me look like Isabella Rosselini:rolleyes:

[Spinning]

Spider eggs in Bubble yum...granted I knew it couldn't be true but I quickly stopped chewing it!
Same with pop rocks and soda....remember it is a deadly combo! LOL!

You may want to re word this... I am I guess what you would call an athiest and I don't find myself being the least bit stupid!

[dizneegirl]

That Christianity equaled tolerance and understanding.

[kidzmom3]

I believed that a scary woman named Agatha, who had lost her baby, would be in the bathroom mirror at midnight if you stand in front of it and say "agatha, I've got your baby" x3. I was scared to death to use the bathroom at night for years! oh yeah, I forgot to mention that she would come out like a ghost and get you.

Dude... that one's true! :eek:

[MerryPoppins]

My friends in school once convinced me that a friend had had a brain transplant. :rolleyes: I remember saying that he couldn't have, but they had good arguements and I weakened.

[kylara]

When I was little my sister told me that I wasn't born because I didn't have a birth mark. Don't ask how I thought I got here,but I went crying to my mother about not being "real". Sometimes big sisters can just be plain mean. :p

The question was what was the stupidest thing I ever believed and I answered it from what I have experienced. I didn't think I was the least bit stupid at the time but after my experiences I do. I do not answer for anyone but myself. I'm sorry if you take offense, though, but it is what I feel and no, I can't reword it.

Of course, ROBIN, you're entitled to your own perception:) .

At least you were on a realistic track for awhile:) :) :) :) .......

For years I thought a caribou was a chicken. My Dad said so and we all believed him!!
